The Electric New Paper, Singapore
Why so quiet, Van Ness?
Opening of new shop features hot models in sexy outfits. But one man seems unmoved...
Why so quiet, Van Ness?
THERE were leggy, chiselled European models strutting around in provocative lingerie to thumping house beats.

There was a crowd of gawking guests and a frenzy of cameras snapping away.
And there was one nonchalant gent in the middle of it all, looking positively bored.
That was the scene at the official launch of sensual lifestyle boutique Rondavous at Far East Plaza on Friday evening.
Temperatures rose as invited guests took in the live display of shimmering corsets, net stockings, see-through 'evening suits' and body jewellery.
But not for the oh-so-cool guy with sunglasses and a ponytail.
It was singer-actor and heartthrob of Taiwanese boyband F4, Van Ness Wu.
Special guestThe 30-year-old was there as a special guest alongside Singapore-born Cantopop duo 2R (sisters Rosanne and Race Wong).
Later, in a chat with the media, he clarified that his disposition amidst the hub of screaming sensuality wasn't one of boredom, but 'indifference'.
'The fashion show just wasn't something to interest me deeply,' he admitted.
Oh yes, Van Ness, we know you've given up your playboy ways (he told The New Paper about this in February, when he was in town to promote his action movie Kung Fu Chefs).
Swanky car
Earlier, Van Ness and 2R had arrived in a swanky lime green Lamborghini, much to the excitement of some 100 diehard fans lining the sides of the road.
For Rosanne, Rondavous is a baby she holds close to her heart.
The 29-year-old singer-actress wasn't just present to cut ribbons. She is co-owner of the boutique with her sister, Ms Rhonda Wong, 24, and an Indonesian partner.
'I'm totally hands-on when it comes to Rondavous,' said Rosanne, a tinge of pride in her voice.
'From zero to everything you see now, from the choosing of attire for our mannequins, to the choosing of textiles and designing, it's been a great experience so far.'
And while fellow celebrity sister Race, 26, wasn't officially part of the team, she was delighted to bask in the glory, personally endorsing the comforts of Rondavous' quality lingerie.
'Every lady should enjoy wearing fancy lingerie. I do, and it makes you feel really self-confident,' said Race.
'Anyone can be sexy, any time of the day.'
Champagne flowed freely throughout the evening as local deejay Kane Ian worked the decks and set everyone into happy hour mode.
With drinks and a visually enticing feast of barely-dressed models, Van Ness' dour demeanour was soon forgotten. It was certainly a good way to end one's working week.
