Two young women dressed as Daoist priestesses at a gaming convention in Beijing. They were there to sell a new game. Their yellow robes were embroidered with black dashes, solid or broken, representing trigrams from the I Ching. They carried horsehair whisks, traditional ghost-exorcising paraphernalia.

They burned scented candles, they waved banners and pennants, as if the gaming convention was a temple. In the pictures, they flank Li Zheng, a master of feng shui and numerology.
