Good Hygiene Gets Girls by Wong Fu Productions

Wong Fu Productions latest video “Good Hygiene Gets Girls” pokes fun at how little guys have to do to get ready to go out. We all love watching the makeup gurus with their tips for girls to get pretty. Girls get lots of tips on how to get ready…well, how about some tips for guys? Rick (Phil Wang) gives his advice on what guys can do to impress the ladies. How much do guys really need to do to get ready? Learn these seven tips from Rick and his suggestions for altenatives:

1. wash hair

2. wash face

3. wash body

4. shave

5. Lotion

6. brush teeth

7. put something in your hair

Here’s a brief background on the concept of Rick’s Man Tutorial.

The idea just came one night on the drive to dinner. I had just seen a makeup tutorial online and thought, wow, there are so many things for a girl to do with makeup… and inversely thought, it’d be funny if a guy made a something of the sort. Wes and Ted had the good idea of giving “Rick” a backstory just to give it a little more depth, hence the “ex girlfriend”.

Don’t forget the outtakes below too.

Jin is redefining himself for 2010. Check out his new year’s resolution. Not on list are any GrindTime battles.

He’s also listed doing TV and film projects. It’s unclear if he’ll do it in Hong Kong or USA. Look for a big year from Jin.

Here’s a few clips in Cantonese shot in November 2008, a few months after he moved to Hong Kong, He was invited to be a part of a theater arts performance called “ReDefine 6” and was given the chance to create a short “play” to redefine something. He wanted to redefine “Jin”.
