Posted Image Looks like imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. While Jolin insists she's no copy cat herself, she doesn't mind if a couple of eager beaver newbies want to ape her look. "I think it's rather nice if a new singer is inspired by me and wants to mimic my style, singing and dance moves. I think that's a real compliment," she tells LIME, pleased as punch. "But if she were to look exactly like me, that'd be too weird!" She adds loftily, "After all, I am the first and original Jolin Tsai." (adapted from http://lime.mediacorppublishing.com/2004_04/coverstory.htm ) In fact, Jolin's flashy new image is so characteristically Japanese-like, she has been said to copy J-pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki, right down to the latter's fancy fingernails and heavily mascara-ed lashes. But Jolin insists they are different. 'Ayumi is very sexy. She's very daring too, going nude and wearing just leaves on her body. I'm not like that.' As for her passion for nail art, Jolin said it started when she went to New York for vocal and dance training three years ago and saw African-American women with 'long and pretty fingernails'.
