Forgery is not very feng shui, Tony Chan

This has to be one of the best article titles ever, from the AP: “Feng Shui Master Loses Bid for Ex-Lover’s Fortune”

In a nutshell?

A feng shui adviser who had an affair with Asia’s richest businesswoman before she died lost his bid for her multibillion-dollar estate Tuesday when a Hong Kong court deemed the will in which he was named a forgery.

It’s a story complete with gifted pigtails, money burning, and illicit love. Aspiring novelists and Law and Order writers, take note.

He did get to keep the pigtails. Hey, billions may come and go, but hair is forever.

    About Me

    Once upon a time I was the managing editor at an irreverent and scrappy magazine called Radar. My claim to fame there included quenching a near deadly wastebasket fire, always ordering enough pizzas for the whole team, and making sure the copy was clean and sparkling.

    Before that, I got around as a freelancer, working for such varied companies as Reader's Digest, Rodale, McKinsey & Company, and US News & World Report, in roles that included writing, editing, researching, and "making the trains run on time."

    When Radar folded at the end of October 2008, I found myself at OK! magazine, a tabloid weekly famous for spending a lot of money on Jamie Lynn Spears' baby photos and having the greatest staff turnover since the Titanic. (I became a casualty of the May '09 round of layoffs, but lived to blog about the tale.)

    I'm now back in the freelance arena, plying my trade—and 10 years of experience—to the highest (or lowest. Or any) bidder, making do with a little less day-by-day, and wondering how this great publishing apocalypse is going to shake out in the end.

    My bet is on content.
