I’m a 64-year-old redhead – I don’t want to look 25, I know I still have value even though I’m older
A 64-YEAR-OLD redhead has issued a rallying cry to other women her age, urging them to take up space.
She has insisted that older women still have value, despite the pervasive cultural obsession with youth.
Kweenie (@loyalqueen007_) more than embodies her message.
Her TikTok is populated by funny, sassy, and sexy videos.
She has challenged the notion that women of a certain age should go away quietly.
Her posts have demonstrated that she ain’t finished yet and still has a lot to offer.
“Loving life, singing, dancing, and comedy,” is how she sums up her online profile.
Settling into her dotage would seem not to be an option for her yet.
In her video, she lip-synched to backing audio.
“I don’t want to look 25 when I’m 50,” she asserted.
“Just like you didn’t want to bypass your twenties or your thirties.”
She continued: “And you know why?”
Kweenie was about to ram her point home.
“Because I’m immune to the bullsh*t that tells me that a woman 50 or over has no value in this world.”
She made clear she was very happy being the age she was.
“I would not want to go back to 25,” she wrote, “especially the way the world is now.”
One commenter liked what they heard and said simply, “Preach.”
Another loved what they saw: “Absolutely stunning,” they said.
The final comment thought there was nothing wrong with her age.
“Sweetheart, you’re unbelievably drop-dead gorgeous, and you don’t look your age at all,” they gushed.
