Ms. Poon Tang, a Thai Vicky, is based upon the beautiful and sturdy little fems of old Siam, today better known as Thailand. Somewhat elf-like in stature, Thai girls are often slightly stocky but very well shaped with great personalities (Thai's are a proud but friendly culture) If you ever meet up with a Thai girl like Ms. Poon Tang, you are guaranteed a really good time (and don't miss the restaurants either).

Nice figure work, I like it. Is this character avaiable anywhere? About the use of the term "Poon Tang", it's an offensive term back where I come from (Miami). Just FYI. -JH.

It is also an offensive term where I grew up too, and a bit racist. I like the model alot though, good work :) Maybe you might have fun finding a genuine Thai name for her?

WOW! She is really cute! Are we going to get a chance to play with her?

You guys may be surprised to learn, despite all political correctness to the contrary, that Poon and Tang are common Thai names. I am not fluent in Thai, but many Thai words have ironically double-meanings for Westerners. Bang-Kok, Thai-Land (pronounced of course "Tai-Land" and which means "Free Land". "Porn" is another Thai name, and there are others. I of course intended a "double-meaning" and I think Thai's would find it humourous too, as they have a good sense of humor. Usually it is Americans in particular who seek ultimate political correctness in everything to the point that today's comic strips and "comedians" are totally un-funny. But showing my own age, yes, the most famous use of the word "Poon Tang" is from the Stanley Kubrik movie "Full Metal Jacket" in which the M-60 carrying soldier says it as "Poooooooong Taaaaaang!"

Oops, I meant "Pooooooooon Taaaaaaaang". And yes, I would be happy to contribute this cute Thai babe to the Poser Community. All I did was just tweak Vicky and added a Vicky gen-morph from Morph World (which you cannot see). Is it o.k. to do this as a Cr2 file so that it doesn't violate any Zygote copywrites?


JeffH posted Thu, 19 October 2000 at 10:16 PM

Distributing CR2s is ok with Zygote, just not the OBJ file. -JH. PS: PT has been a derogatory term for as long as I can remember..since grade school anyway (I'm 37), but let's not argue about it ;-)

JeffH- thanks for your age. I am a Vietnam era guy, and the name has special meanings too for that era. I don't know what it became for the post-Nam generation. I remember as a kid when a girls name like "Heidi" or "Gretchen" always connotated a "bad girl", and I bet you this came from the WW-II generation who got to know a lot of "nice" German girls during the U.S. Occupation. I would bet there is a similiar girl's name for the Twenty-Somethings that immediately conjures up the "bad girl" image. So much for sociology- I will post her once I can find a good download home for her- any suggestions?

I've heard http://www.stas.net/ allows downloads on free space. The Propsguild is always a good choice as well.

Especially interesting, IMO, given the common meaning of the phrase "to get lucky"...

Having traveled overseas to exotic foreign lands myself, you will often find that those Americans (and I am one) take themselves way too seriously anyway. I had my own ego deflated a few times in Thailand by the wonderful Thai people who are very friendly but hate pomposity. They don't care if you are an American or not, and it is really refreshing. Today Americans who think and act so politically correct about race, etc., haven't a CLUE about what it is like to ACTUALLY LIVE and WORK in a REAL multi-racial society. "P.C" Americans are the BIGGEST PHONIES of all!!!

Heya, just a little note for you: Poon is not a nickname for Thai girls. It's almost exclusively used for guys. It basically means "big belly"... mr_sanity
