Perhaps they are but I really don't know and I really don't care if they are or aren't. To be honest I'll shoot whatever pays my bills. (Business is business) As for my experience... Men 55 or older want
"time warp women" and they're willing to pay well for it.

Now I can only express what I see based on my personal experiences.
(So take what I say with a grain of salt)
These days the under 30 crowds don't seem to want to pay for anything. And I'm sorry but they certainly have got the money.
Today's under 30 year olds have enough disposable income to buy $1000 phones every 6 months, drive expensive cars and drop a couple hundred bucks each week on booze, smokes and Ecstasy. But when it comes time to pay me I've got to fight for every nickle I get out of them. By comparison I work for someone over 50 and not only are they polite about paying me... But quite often I'm paid extra and if they like my work they tend to become loyal repeat clients. Where as I'm lucky if anyone under 30 can even remember my name.

Yup I can confirm that. Most want the little older "classy" looking woman. I'm sure the younger girls wouldn't be a problem for many of them but once again they seem to prefer that "classy" look.
The only thing I can really add to this conversation is that a guy 55 or older would still buy an 8x10s if given half the chance.
