Hong Kong: It is of no surprise that people first noticed Chrissie Chau only when she stripped and walked through throngs of young office workers downtown, wearing only a bikini.

Chrissie did it for a slimming salon's television commercial, which catapulted her to the top of a growing pack of teen models - or lang mo, as they are commonly known.

These pretty young women have captured the public's imagination with their seductive and, at times, revealing poses. At the same time, they have triggered a debate about the effects of model worship on the young in Hong Kong.
