It’s the Lunar New Year and theChinese Year of the Horse. Thehorseis part of a 12-year-cycle of animals that make up the Chinese zodiac. These interact with the five elements: wood, metal, fire, water, earth. 2014 is the year of the wood horse, taking over from the year of the water snake.
And since I didn't do eye candy for January, I've added some asian hotness to celebrate the new year. I don't think all of these guys are Chinese, but that's not the point..so enjoy!
