    This woman is in her nineties and is fabulous.Why the shaming?I thought TBP saying older people looking like melting ice creams and being ageist was problematic? Please help me understand better?

      I feel like FF is judging Birdie for saying it’s her one goal in life, not judging the person in the picture. Like it’s sad this is all Birdie is striving for in life.

        This woman raised a family while working and lived an entire life.In her 80’s her grandaughter posted a photo of her and she blew up on social media.I mean, being a bad ass activist in her 90’s defying ageism while having your own sephora line and being followed by multiple celebrities?Pretty solid goals?

          I totally understand your point and yes she’s a bad ass and goals. I think the implication is that SNL doesn’t know any of that and is merely being superficial. Obviously, she’s not doing activism or anything worthwhile so maybe she needs to shift her goals a little.

          Yes but I doubt Sarah knows any of this, Sarah sees a picture of a bad ass older woman still modeling and that’s what she wants, Sarah doesn’t do any research on peoples backstories to know all the things you said. And if she does know all those things, she isn’t working very hard to be like this woman 🤷🏻‍♀️

          Bird doesn’t raise her kids other people do that for her. All I meant was is her goal is to show up the rest of her life getting her picture taken in her bra and underwear. I wasn’t saying anything about this lady. Take a breather.
