There's also a women's mag of the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this is called VANITY in most parts of the world. No Thai woman can pass a reflecting surface without having a deep look into it, re-adjusting her hair etc. Not that I'm complaining. Isn't that more called narcissism?? BTW not complaining either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 LuisBKK, I reckon vanity and narcissism overlap somewhere, don't they. What the heck, they look darn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BkkShaggy Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 From Scum_Baggio: ""Vanity" from Latin "vanitas", in turn from Sanskrit "vanita", woman. Yeah, folks, no kidding." Thais have female names as Vanita and Vanida. Some spelled using "W" instead of "V" but they are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
