I’m 52 & love wearing leather corsets & tight dresses – trolls tell me I’m ‘past my prime’ but I’ll wear what I want
A 52-YEAR-OLD woman has hit back at cruel trolls who judge her for wearing whatever she wants.
Model Luisa, who is 52 and a self-proclaimed “age visibility advocate,” with a policy of “zero ageism tolerance,” regularly shares her fashionable and trendy outfits on her social media platforms.
Amongst them include leather corsets, figure-hugging dresses and low-cut, sheer tops – all of which show off her svelte figure.
In a clip shared to Instagram (@thesilverlining_1970), she recently responded to several negative remarks she’s received from keyboard warriors online.
These include “hard pass,” “past your prime” and “wrinkled granny.”
Elsewhere, others have told her to “colour” her grey hair and urged her to “fix that sun damage.”
The influencer responded: “Just a glimpse of some of the unsolicited comments I have received about my ageing appearance online over the last 30 days.
“I don’t share this for sympathy, it’s simply a reminder of the price many of us pay for daring to take up space online as an older creator/older person.

“And as easy as it is to say the positives outweigh the negatives, we are human and reading ageist comments like this can feel like hitting a brick wall.”
Luisa goes on to say that another comment she often receives is that it must be “easy” for her to “age.”
She continues: “While we all have different privileges, layers of conditioning and lived experiences, there is really no room for comparisons and judgements when it comes to how we process our individual feelings around ageing and our ageing bodies.
“We are all different.
“The reality is, nothing is EASY about unpacking years and years of negative messaging around growing older.
“Some days it can feel like two steps forward and one step back. Our “old conditioned” parts can be easily triggered by simply reading negative comments like these or consuming anti-ageing content.
“We are human, words can hurt and images have impact…
“No one can judge how easy or hard it is for any one person growing older in a deeply ageist society.
“But, We can always Be kind.”
The video has since been flooded with comments from social media users online, with many commending Luisa for speaking out.
“It’s mostly from jealousy and insecure men who are threatened by a beautiful woman over 50,” wrote one.
A second penned: “I find it hard to believe people are saying anything negative about this ridiculously gorgeous woman’s face, and are serious about it.”
A third commented: “That’s so sad and maddening that people feel the need to be hurtful! You are a gorgeous, positive, pro-ageing woman and are worthy of respect!!!!!”
