Lost In Translation

Many women in Hong Kong wear t-shirts and blouses with English slogans printed on the front. I am not sure they are entirely aware of the meaning these slogans might communicate; in some cases I am not quite sure what they mean. Here are a few of my favorites:

“The Plane Circled Over the Park”

“Take One More Glance”

“Show Me Fantasy”

“What Do You Think”

“Feeling the Sense of Aroma”

“Relax, Don’t Do It”

“I’m Really Really Pleased”

“Drink Till You Want Me”

“I Lost My Puppy Dog”

“Poppin’ Bottles With Models” (a male pedestrian)

“Just Do Me”

“If You Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine”

“Everything You Thought Would Happy Will Never Happen”

“I Am So Lost In Your Love”

“Do You Love Someone Like Me”
