My celebrity crush...

Ruby Xiu is sooo cute! The media once described Cecilia Cheung as "candy floss cute" and I would put Ruby Xiu under the same description. I fell in love with Ruby soon after she launched her singing career in 2003 with the single "Beautiful Angel", video of which is below.



Oh yeah, during the early stage of her career, she went under the name Xiao Xiao.

Now how old do you think she was in this video? Many would have been fooled to think she was a teenager. With that candy floss cute face and baby voice, no one could go wrong. Ruby went on to release another single, "Daddy's Little Girl", and I remember reading an article on her in Asian Glitz magazine (RIP) about how her mother groomed her to be a model from a young age (she did start out as a model), how she missed her mother when she went on tour and how she always sought her mother's approval on boyfriend matters. Seriously, what 25-year-old would release singles with such titles as "Beautiful Angel" and "Daddy's Little Girl" and sing them in such a cutesy voice, and also talk about her mother's big impact on life which gave one an impression of a mama's girl?

Yep, Ruby Xiu was 25 at the start of her singing career. For a while her birtyear remained a mystery, and kudos to her management for creating such an image that no doubt appealed to a young audience (and older men with particular inclinations...)

Now nearing 32, Ruby Xiu is still a fresh-faced candy floss cutie. Just look up her official Facebook.
