five minutes with... edition cheng

THE sky is the limit - a motto notorious Hong Kong actor/singer/host/busboy/playboy/gigolo-turned-pornstar Edition Cheng has always lived by religiously ever since his first accidental stumble into the limelight, posing as a model for the Taiwanese hairgel brand "Hard-On Wax Lover".

"Other days, my motto is 'a man is limited to how deep he can thrust'," said Cheng sheepishly, displaying his signature boyish grin.

Cheng, who had specially flown in to Malaysia on Saturday was speaking to Surat Melayu in an exclusive interview at the official launch of his clothing boutique in Bangsar, 'flooze'.

Cheng, who has a large following in the country, mostly made up of teenage girls (and some boys), was seen dodging flying panties that were flung into his direction from all areas from screaming fans.

"This is odd. The panties are wet," he said, fingering the crotch of a pair of pink satin panties.

Surat Melayu: What is flooze and what was the original idea behind the name?
Cheng: flooze is something that is very close to my heart. When I started becoming a big household name in Hong Kong, I had plenty of that, floozies that is. I was young and with my good looks, the media labeled me a playboy but after that incident, when my ex-girlfriend Messy K revealed that I had been secretly working as a gigolo and acting in porn movies to supplement my extravagant lifestyle, that totally gave me a wake up call. I realised that the biggest floozy was me but man, I remember Messy's furry beaver - it was so thick it could choke you.

SM: Err... can we move on to the next question? Tell us more about flooze's "Exploding Beaver Metallica" line?
Cheng: When you get your fingers entangled into a furry beaver - (remaining parts of the conversation are censored to protect our young readers). I really love Metallica. It's totally raw. It's like Britney's mom screaming and throwing raw potatoes at you. Really raw. RAWR. So expect to see a lot of silver embellishments on fur. Lots of it. RAWR.

SM: ... we noticed that there was a limited edition line called "Whip Me Up, Pansy Boy!".
Cheng: Yeah! You see this? It's for the ladies to carry around and whip their men when they misbehave in public. Know how female empowerment is all the 'in' thing today? I do read CLEO from time to time you know and being able to wield power boosts a woman's confidence, it makes them feel sexy and men love a confident girl who knows how to have her way. Anyway, all our products undergo rigorous quality testing and they can last a lifetime - just don't whip elephants with them or they won't last as much - and the other day, I got my product manager to test it out on me at our brand presentation and woohoo, I was prancing around like a pony! GODDAMN that woman can spank! If you can afford it, buy the "18k Bitch Devil Whip" - that's our best product. It comes free with a bottle of tartar sauce.

SM: What other plans are you currently working on? We hear you're working on a new movie.
Cheng: Oh, you gotta love this. I'm currently producing and co-writing a movie called Edition Cheng: Full-Frontal Inspector. It's a dramatic-erotic thriller about a straight-laced police inspector that infiltrates the underground prostitution syndicate in Hong Kong that caters to those with money to throw and a love for the exotic 'delicacies'. There's a lot of hardships in store for our title hero, that's me by the way, as he navigates his way through unknown territory and comes face-to-face with a number of steamy, full-frontal confrontations.
