Steven Ho's Blog – Deconstructing Fighting and Stunts for your enjoyment

Thanks to Igor Filjušin from Tallinn, Estonia for creating and posting this on Asian Conan’s Facebook page.

This is a pic of the neck portion of the Donatello costume I wore in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. I only have this and the actual head left and unfortunately it’s all beginning to crumble rather quickly (especially the bottom portion of the neck piece). The costume is made of foam latex – so it is what it is. But rather than let that part of it turn into dust, I thought it would be more fitting to cut off a small portion and offer it to a TMNT fan (through Facebook page competition).

The original plan was to award two winners: one winner according to the most “like” votes they received on their entree….and then determine the second winner based subjectively on which other entree I liked the most.

But in the spirit of the Turtles and teamwork, I’m going to give EVERYONE who entered the competition by yesterday’s deadline a small piece of that neck (I even snuck in a few people who didn’t enter, but posted TMNT content).

They’ll just be small pieces, but enough to pull Donnie’s DNA from and claim a part of history. Congratulations to everyone below and thanks for taking the time to put in your submissions and contribute to the page.

I had a contest on my Facebook Page for one of the shinai swords used in on one of my stunt segments with Conan on the former Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.  Pierre Bernard and Alison Flierl were kind enough to select the winner from our three finalists (Heidi McCarthy from Chi Town, Tiina Niukkanen from Helsinki, and Sara Iha from New Mexico).

And the winner is…

History of the sword…

You Conan fans have been incredible during this blackout period.  If you’re interested in winning Conan’s shinai sword from one of our episodes, deets are on my Facebook Page.

The Center for the Pacific Asian Family is a call center in Los Angeles for domestic violence.  It is not untypical for domestic violence in Asian American communities to go unreported, particularly with first generation refugees who are not accustomed to their human rights.  Chase Bank, through their Chase Communigy Giving Competition on Facebook is donating $1 million to the FB charity with the most votes.  I have cast my vote for the CPAF and kindly urge you to do the same.  You can vote at this FB link HERE.
