As I grow older as a model (quietly), I thought it is about time to let other models and photographers know that someone of my age (79  in January 2024) can still look stunning if one knows how to look after oneself. My wealth is my health that money can't buy. Ageing is not dreadful only if one is still mobile without painful swollen joints, no long list of prescriptions (chemicals) for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, kidney, insomnia, arthritis, obesity, stress, etc.

In addition to a sensible, healthy diet, I also work out to maintain a toned body - with good mobility, balance, coordination and pain-free joints to be able to play badminton. I look younger in comparison with the same age group.  Most of my pictures are unedited.

Even at my age, I can still jump, with strong grip to climb a pole and strong legs to climb a tall ladder/tree. My bodybuilding includes the use of dumbbells, gym machines, Swiss ball, Bozu, bodyweight exercise and stretching.

I play badminton (intermediate level) and volunteer gardening to keep the wild habitat in my local area. I enjoy sparring by touching the face lightly. My limit height is 5' 10" to be able to reach the face. I did karate for eight years, leaving in 2009 with a brown belt. I did pistol shooting at a 10-metre distance for two years.

I started modeling in 2011 so I have a reasonable portfolio.  I had my tattoo done in 2012 due to an old long scar.  

I have joined Purpleport hoping companies to commission me to do fashion modelling. I charge £40 an hour, travelling expensive if I can't use my freedom and a light meal.

I am particularly keen on photographers who have the technical skills to super-impose different backgrounds (images) to enhance my photos.

I can't tolerate to cigarette/tobacco smoking or smell of cigarette in the house/rooms/body cigarette odours. Cigarette/tobacco irritates my lung. I'm OK with vaping.  

I expect my travelling to be reimbursed if I can't use my Senior Freedom Pass. 

I prefer to be in a studio or people's home or outdoor but not in the hotel room.  When it comes to the outdoor photo shoot, I prefer the summer or very mild autumn and spring.

I also will not be accepting accommodation from any photographers except if I am provided bed and breakfast accommodation.

My favourite passage:

At 20, God gave you the face.

At 40, Life gave you the face.

At 60 upwards, the face you deserve.
