Eye candy

Despite what they say about not taking sweets from strangers, a passer-by accepts an ice cream from two models standing on the corner of Lockhart Road, near Sogo.

The girls were promoting the Harmonic Health Beauty Centre, a weigh-loss clinic. They aren't just models; Candy and Suki are former clients, each having shed 9kg.

'Women like beauty, they want to be slim,' said Tom Li Pui-kan of Harmonic Health. 'It's summer, they want to reduce fat to show off their bodies.'

In Cantonese slang, ice cream also means a good looking woman. Nine out of 10 women don't think they are slim enough, a survey by the Hong Kong Young Women's Christian Association has found.
