(Tmall is China's leading B2C online retailer separated from Taobao.)
Though most of the clothes Liu has been modeling for are more of the tiny, sweet and cute teen girl style with rosy shades, laces and ribbons, the 72-year-old totally pulled things off. His signature piece so far seems to be color tights and thigh stockings. Liu's confidence in front of the camera and his long pair of skinny legs are the envy of many girls. Netizen 云眠Satsuki sighed: "He has such a good figure, especially those legs!"

72-year-old grandfather models women's clothes, becomes internet sensation
http://shanghaiist.com/2012/11/16/72-year-old_grandfather_models_wome.phpWhat is this, I don't even? A 72-year-old grandfather, Liu Xianping, has become something of an internet sensation after he began modelling for his granddaughter's online clothing store.
Liu's granddaughter runs Yuekou, a partnership between herself and four other recent college graduates. While Liu was helping the girls unpack, "he picked up one piece and tried to give some advice on how to mix and match. We thought it was fun so we started shooting."
