Sex and Scandals maketh a heady blog..

Mu Zi Mei was a sex columnist for the City Pictorial, a Chinese magazine. Mu Zi Mei wasn't particularly famous. Until, she decided to blog.

Her sexually explicit posts detailing her tales of debauchery has gained her a readership of over 10 million a day. And that was before the New York Times (why do all my stories refer to NYT?) wrote about her. Her popularity has caused her to be both admired and despised by the Chinese, but it has also got her into the Chinese edition of Cosmopolitian. Then, of course the Government had to intervene. She voluntary quit her job and shut down her blog. Her blog posts, however are archived all over the Net, and there are groups in Yahoo! devoted to her.I'm sure Google is overloaded with queries to find out her site, which unfortunately (yes, I'm one of those Googlers) is in Chinese.

Danwei has an entire section devoted to the cult of Mu Zi Mei which makes for interesting reading (including a very rough translation of one of her posts, and some of the magazine covers she's been featured in)

Too bad I don't write about sex.
