And for those who think it not a term ever used in China here’s the, eeerr, China Daily on a “fiery” woman business lady;

Here’s some mad guy in Hastings, Nebraska who’s created a statue called “Dragon Lady“;

Yoko Ono is apparently a Dragon Lady according to the UK’s Daily Telegraph – not sure if anyone’s disagreeing with that!;

Apparenly some “well-heeled dragon ladies” showed up to some London fashion thing;

According to the Guardian, TV producer Aaron Sorkin does “crazy dragon-lady stereotypes” in his shows;

According to one review of the new film Savages, “Elena (Salma Hayek), who runs a Mexican cartel and wants to expand into the U.S. and get a supply of their primo weed. Elena, whose impossibly silken black hair, jewelry, couture gowns and cigarette holder suggest a Dragon Lady in a 1930s Shanghai gambling thriller.”

and on and on it goes….Dragon Ladies are back with a vengeance!

Salma does Dragon…
