Exotic – a descriptor every Asian woman has probably heard and includes anyone that is foreign and different but beautiful and usually comes with a comment about your eyes. Exotic AF consists of a figurine from a hobbyist mold and from the 70’s or 80’s and probably existed in the realm of kitsch….and she is a stereotype of a China girl with her bob haircut and bands, rice picker hat, heavy shoulder yoke across back, dragon on her qipao, and she is barefoot….she rests on top of trophy case filled with broken shards of willow ware plates from Germany, England, Japan, and America. Willow ware is the most appropriated blue and white pattern all the world that has no know origin, and she rests a top this contained rumble and keeps on working.
