Where are the Seniors and the Stout?

Last night, a senior fashion editor based here commented that Stylites rejects all but the the young and the slim. I always try to find stylish older people, but it is tough. When they exist, they are usually in restaurants or in cars on the way to dining, but more comments on this later.

The idea that I reject weightier people had not crossed my mind. It might be true although I might plead that Beijing lacks a sizable overweight demographic. Also, note that I display no addiction to conventional Chinese beauties – others have complained that there are not enough beauties on my blog. Of course, I might just be photographing those I rate as beauties.
