Kylie channels the snake on Lunar New Year

ACTRESS Kylie Padilla marked the Lunar New Year with a symbolic nod to the snake, a creature she believes is often misunderstood.

On Instagram, Padilla shared photos of herself in a brown snake-print ensemble.

“Be not afraid of the snakes, for they claim not that they are honest. Be afraid of liars with sweet-sounding songs that lure you into their traps and rejoice when you’ve fallen,” she wrote. “The snake is a friend in the rebirth of my soul, shedding old skin slowly as I crawl from the depths of my sorrows into the hope of tomorrow.”

Padilla turned 32 last Saturday.
