Helen Ruth Elam van Winkle, known on social media as Buddy Winkle, was born in 1928. She is now a mega-popular blogger with over 3.2 million people following her on Instagram. Among her followers are world-famous singers Rihanna and Miley Cyrus. And the 95-year-old beauty became famous thanks to her bold photos in bright neon images, busy lifestyle, as well as support for the legalization of medical cannabis, protecting the rights of the LGBT community and fighting the toxic manifestations of the beauty industry.

Buddy Winkle shatters all stereotypes about retirement living. She is not afraid to be defiant and bright in her 95, for which she sometimes faces heath from some Internet users. OBOZREVATEL decided to tell about the popular grandmother, who lives under the motto "I am so bold since 1928!"

The story of Winkle's blogging began with a photo of her great-granddaughter Kennedy in cropped shorts and a bright T-shirt. The girl saw her great-grandmother sunbathing in a rather youthful image and took a picture, which she posted on her stories. The shot was so much liked by subscribers and received such a huge number of reactions that Kennedy decided - her grandmother needs a separate account.

Winkle wasn't afraid to experiment with colorful outfits and bold photo shoots. She could make shots in a translucent jumpsuit, swimsuit, underwear and simply rainbow coats, leather neon dresses and bright suits. Thanks to this, the audience quickly "fell for" the profile of an unusual pensioner and has grown to 3.2 million so far.

Winkle continues to delight followers with daring photos even now, than promotes an important message to the masses: age is just a number, and you do not need to put a cross on yourself in old age. The 95-year-old blogger inspires her fans to be brave and enjoy every moment of life.

"I don't like 'granny' clothes. I've never worn them. But you will never see me in a bra where only my nipples are covered, or shorts so short that you can see half my ass. I've taken those pictures, but only as a joke. I never felt old. I think at any age you can dress the way you want to dress. Kennedy is responsible for all my outfits. We have great fun together, we're very close," Buddy once told.

The woman listens to modern performers. In particular, her playlist includes tracks by Justin Bieber. Winkle is a real fan of his.

Having already gained wide fame, the extravagant American began to receive a lot of offers from famous brands. She starred in lingerie advertising campaigns, and by Christmas she was the face of the Missguided advertising campaign, producing party outfits, as well as Grit Creative Group, reproducing iconic images of Kurt Cobain, Kate Moss and other stars.

Winkle also walked the red carpet at the premiere of "Orange is the Hit of the Season," kept Miley Cyrus company at the MTV Video Music Awards, and was also the heroine of Fergie's music video for the song Life Goes On.

However, as we've already pointed out, the images, photos and stance of the 95-year-old blogger are getting mixed reactions from some people. People write that "a grandmother should look and behave differently".

"People write a lot of unpleasant things about me on social networks. They say: "I hate you, I wish you were dead". But you can't take everything personally, so I ignore such negative things. I think that even those who say such things are not monsters, but just people," Winkle replies to his fans.

And the other day the pensioner delighted the network with her archival photo. On it, Winkle poses in her youth in a swimsuit, showing an incredibly thin waist.

Earlier OBOZREVATEL wrote that 91-year-old American mannequin and actress Carmen Dell'Orefice, who is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as a catwalk model with the longest career, went naked for the shoot. The nude photos of the gray-haired beauty appeared in New You.
