real life As told to Sybil Chan. She was 27 the day she accepted her first job in the realm of personal services, but they told her she could and should pass for younger. So, that week, she was 22 to anyone who asked. It was the ideal age, you see: old enough to drink, likely a university graduate (indicating some measure of intelligence and conversational ability), but still young, supple, and desirable. Marketable to a wide range of tastes. In other words? Profitable.
