Why China's Next Top Model Might Be A Grandpa

When one woman’s fashion business was only just getting by, she turned to someone unexpected for some modeling help — her grandfather. And here’s what this brave old man had to say to those questioning his decision: “Why [is it] unacceptable [for someone like me] to wear women’s clothes? Modeling for the store is helping my granddaughter, and I have nothing to lose. We were very happy on the day of the shooting. I’m very old and all that I care about is to be happy.” Werq, Grandpa, werq.

More pink! Here he is in a jacket.

Look how he rocks those shades in some polka dots.

Love the orange in this one.

He's a natural!
