99 pictures of men. What do they have in common? Let me give you a hint. These are clippings from some Chinese American newspapers - car salesmen, insurance agents, real estate brokers. All with glasses, tie and suit and slightly out of focus. Along with some old Chinese radio music . A Joke? A stereotype? A fetish? An anthropological exploration? Or just simply nostalgia? It is anybody's game. What you see is what you get.
