Singapore version of Lady First on StarHub TV from May 2013

Normally, I don’t talk about fashion, make-over or StarHub TV program. But I think Lady First 女人我最大 will be something that is of interest. If you have watch the program, you will know that sometimes they will invite bloggers to the show to showcase their skills or products.

I think this is really good, especially the Singapore version of the show, Lady First – Singapore女人我最大- 新加坡, is hosted by the original celebrated Taiwanese host, Pauline Lan蓝心湄.

Already from the first of celebrities, I can see some familiar faces in the blogging scenes or at events. There will also be an app to complement the show. StarHub TV will be launching a second screen app featuring Lady First – Singapore. During the show, viewers can log on to the app via their Facebook accounts on their smart devices, and access additional content that complements the programme in real time. Through the second screen app, users can also access Instagram to participate in the weekly contests as well as quizzes.

Here is the super long Press Release with Chinese to English translation of the names.

Lady First on StarHub TV

-StarHub TV to produce Singapore’s version of top Taiwanese beauty and lifestyle magazine show- 

-Lady First host Pauline Lan to helm local edition-

Singapore, 4 April 2013 – Top Taiwanese beauty and lifestyle magazine show, Lady First (女人我最大) will soon have a made-in-Singapore version! StarHub TV is collaborating with Hong Kong TVB and its Taiwanese arm TVBS, to produce a Singapore version of the highly-successful long-running beauty and fashion infotainment programme. Lady First – Singapore (女人我最大- 新加坡) promises viewers useful insights into the world of beauty and fashion, while injecting it with a local flavour.

Celebrated Taiwanese host Pauline Lan (蓝心湄), whose name is now synonymous with the show in Taiwan, will be helming Lady First – Singapore. She will be joined by Lady First’s resident stylists Kevin Chou, Wu Yi Lin and Xiao Kai, all of whom are renowned beauty and fashion experts in Taiwan. Also lending star power to the production are top local stylists such as skincare expert Bryan Gan, make-up maestro Clarence Lee, style guru Keith Png and hairstyling whiz Ken Hong, who will be dishing out expert advice and insider tips.

In addition to the team of expert stylists, there will also be a 10-member team made up of local female personalities who will form the “ladies team”. These guest personalities will appear in the show to give their take on the latest beauty products and hottest fashion trends in the market, and also double up as models for the stylists. The leader of the ladies team, Kelly Poon, who is a Singaporean singer, will also host the outdoor segment in the show. This outdoor segment, unique to Lady First – Singapore will see Kelly taking to the streets to talk to different women regarding the topic of the day. Other members include Cheryl Wee, a home-grown beauty queen, and Winnie Lee (better known as Vee) and Celyn Liew (both singing talents uncovered in Sunsilk Academy Fantasia – a reality singing competition organised by StarHub).

Touching on StarHub’s partnership with TVB and TVBS, Ms Lee Soo Hui, Vice President of Media Business Unit, StarHub said, “We are excited to extend our longstanding relationship with TVB through the collaboration of Lady First – Singapore. The original format has been one of the most popular and long-running lifestyle magazine shows in Asia to date. We believe this is because beauty is a universal topic that sets everyone talking, especially for the ladies. Through the production of a local edition, we hope to continue to engage our customers by making it more relevant for them. For example, the ladies in Singapore generally prefer to wear casual clothing with flip flops, so at Lady First – Singapore, we will dish out tips on how to transform this look into an outfit that is comfortable and suitable for our climate, but with added chic. We are confident that Lady First – Singapore will be well-received by the local audience.”

“In addition to engaging our customers, Lady First – Singapore is also a great platform to nurture our local talents. That is why we have invited two finalists of Sunsilk Academy Fantasia, Vee and Celyn, to participate in the show. We hope they will be able to find their niche by offering them another opportunity to shine – be it in singing, acting or hosting,” Ms Lee added.

Mr Sherman Lee, Controller of TVBI enthused, “We take great delight in partnering StarHub for the production of Lady First – Singapore. Lady First which is one of the popular flagship programme on TVBS-Asia (StarHub TV Channel 828), is widely recognised as a successful lifestyle programme in Asia. Its topics on lifestyle and beauty are appealing to viewers, particularly fervent female supporters. This brilliant show which will be helmed by super host Pauline Lan, will be her first studio programme in Singapore. We hope to bring over the originality of the show, and make use of this platform to interact with the local viewers. We wish Lady First – Singapore a success and that it will be the talk of the town!”

Lady First – Singapore premieres on E City (StarHub TV Channel 111/825) on 20 May at 8pm.
