一个标新立异，追求自我，宣告只愿意和白人交往的“沙龙舞会女孩"(SPG),近期因为在她的部落格/博客上载自己的裸照(6月7日??!)而成为 KiasuLand 岛国媒体的热门话题。台湾、澳洲、马来西亚的一些媒体亦不落人后。
素有NannyLand 之称的岛国媒体所持有的立场或报导手法不会太叫人意外。而这次的裸照风波和媒体的大肆宣传已给 SPG 的父母带来不必要的难堪，进而造成 SPG 的压力，不得不自我删除艘争议的照片。
一些活跃的博客也各自在部落格里对媒体的报道手法口诛笔伐，声援该 SPG 。
6月19日的联合晚报更连续两晚追踪后续新闻，更揭露的她的名字 -- ***** 。
媒体的道德衡量标准在哪里？由谁来决定？如何决定？
SPG AKA Sarong Party Girl - “a Singaporean term to mean a young ethnically Asian or Indian woman who is fun-loving and gregarious, and who enjoys mixing with Caucasian men, whom she finds of far greater sexual interest than Asian men.”

Singaporean rapped for posting nude self portraits on her public blog; some bloggers say media coverage only adds to impropriety
The Straits Times

Foreigners have joined local bloggers in discussing The Straits Times' report of the 19-year-old Singaporean girl who posted nude pictures of herself on her blog.
Some bloggers have said that there is nothing wrong with posting nude pictures online at www.sarongpartygirl.blogspot.com by the girl who is known only as Sarong Party Girl.
Mr Lee Kin Mun, 35, who writes under the moniker Mr Brown (www.mrbrown.com) said the online outcry put unnecessary focus on what the girl did.
"The general response from the blogging community is, 'What's the big deal? What's all this fuss over a pair of Singapore breasts?'"
Some, like student Lee Xueling, 21, thought otherwise.
She said: "I don't think the media was wrong to report this. She blogged about it and there was no attempt to keep her blog private. It's obvious her blog has a wide readership so this was effectively a public post. She merely got even more attention that she usually does."
However, forums like www.flowerpod.com.sg have seen discussions frowning upon the girl's actions.
Since the story appeared, 90 comments have appeared on www.tomorrow.sg which was among the first blogs to highlight her nude picture.
Foreign blogs have carried comments too.
Foreign news sites like the Taipei Times (www.taipeitimes.com) and the Sydney Morning Herald (www.smh.com.au) have picked up the news item.
Malaysian bloggers also reacted after Malaysian newspaper The Star (www.the-star.com.my) reported on Sarong Party Girl.
Mr Kenny Sia (www.kennysia.com), 23, did a photo parodying Sarong Party Girl's shots in a show of support.
He said: "By making fun of the situation, I just want to tell people not to take the whole issue so seriously."
Though she is posing nude, most lawyers said she is probably not breaking any obscenity law.
The girl, who doesn't want to be named but calls herself an "exhibitionist", tells The Straits Times that she is gunning for a book deal.
