I live on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, a neighborhood also known as “Little Italy.” There’s no shortage of gorgeous old men, dressed to the nines, but it’s rare they agree to being photographed. This eclectically dressed gentleman was a good sport and when we were done our impromptu photo shoot, I told him he had beautiful eyes, and he said with a twinkle in his eye, “And you have a beautiful body!” I got chills up my spine, and I had to wonder, am I a 29-year-old Lolita?
