#1 This is "Sister Tomato". She works as a pole dancer who performs in bars and night clubs throughout China.
Sister Tomato says she's now living in Shenzhen, an economic boomtown in southeastern China. She wears whatever she likes, and doesn't care if people on the street stare or take sneaky photos of her.

Like most performers, though, she felt she could stand to be more popular. The easiest solution? Weibo.
"I'm going to do some shopping, and I'll be dressed up very beautifully," she says she told a photographer friend earlier this month.

The friend later posted Sister Tomato stomping the drinks aisle, dragged out in platform-heeled boots, a cropped top, and a leather open-backed underwear with a pink thong inside. And these pictures: they. blew. up.
The photographs, with curious onlookers in the background, went viral immediately on Weibo, shared over 4,000 times.

Unlike some of her peers, Sister Tomato wants to serve up her realness not just on the stage, but on the street too.
"I feel good to be dressed like that, sometimes when I hear music I like in malls, I'll start dancing and people will stare at me and take photos. It's just fun for everybody, then I'll say goodbye and leave," said Sister Tomato.
