Lee says 10/15/2013 at 9:05 pm No, but she was posing for a group of old fellas who had hired her for a shoot. I just sneaked in and fired off a few shots. Reply

Lee says 10/16/2013 at 10:53 am No, at least not just yet. But the moment I start eying up one of those much loved pocket emblazoned vests is the day I know it’s all over! Reply
Lee says 11/4/2013 at 11:47 am Yeah, the vests favoured by photographers, fishermen and many men over 55 or so. Reply
