When contributing editor Ada Tseng suggested exchanging poetry with Smoking Hot Asian Guys (SHAGs), we were skeptical. Turns out – pure genius. Here, model and actor Godfrey Gao (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) gamely responds to our lyrical inquiries through Japanese haiku.
How often do fans
Faint from Godfrey’s smile (or wink)
Be honest, OK?
Godfrey:
People think I am
Sexy; Flattering, its true
But I’m just bashful.
Striving for beauty
Best regimen for Godfrey
Summed up in haiku?
Godfrey:
Sweating on “THE” court,
B-ball is my game. Keeps my
Body in good shape.
Louis Vuitton man
How does Godfrey make purse look
So good. Confidence?
Godfrey:
Never thought I’d be
Godfrey Gao as Magnus Bane
Powerful warlock.
