From her photos, I’d never know. ([60-year-old makes history as Miss Universe Buenos Aires](https://www.hola.com/us/entertainment/20240424359156/60-year-old-makes-history-as-miss-universe-buenos-aires/)) ---

From the photos, I’d have guessed a very well-hidden 50-55. Good for her, that’s a hell of an uphill battle to have climbed. ---

I can believe it. I have a friend who’s 68 and doesn’t look anything like it. I was with her and some of her friends at a bar, and she whispered to me “Don’t tell them how old I am.” ---

The article keeps saying that she’s "challenging the ageist norms of beauty, but I don’t see it. She’s just continuing to conform to them at a later age than most. ---

Yeah, she’s an old woman who looks young. What would actually challenge ageist norms of beauty would be for a woman with grey hair and wrinkly skin to win (even if she was actually young). ---

I’d put her not less that 40 and guess about 48. The second photo (beach? Playa?) instantly reminded me of someone in a way that the others don’t, at all, even going back again looking at the them again. ---

60 is the new 40. I look at the photo and saw the tattoo. Ugly. I see the belly button piercing. Ugly. I can’t see past that. I guess she’s pretty. Kept in shape. Wonder if she’s had any work done on her face? ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I look at the photo and saw the tattoo. Ugly. > I see the belly button piercing. Ugly. The tattoo and the belly-button piercing are on two different people, but I guess they can both be ugly. I mostly thought about what amazing things makeup can achieve. Rodríguez looks 30 years older in the second picture than in the first. ---

Ahh. Ok. I didn’t read, just looked at the pics ---

Meh. I reserve the right to be old when I am old. We don’t encourage men to look 20 when they’re 60, so why should women have to do it? I earned every white hair on my head, and I intend to keep them. ---

That’s my take on it, too. Exactly when are women allowed to quit focusing on looking attractive to men? I want to be a crone, dammit! Seriously, back in 1978, I thought the women’s movement was someday going to get us to the point where women didn’t have to be attractive to be successful. Guess I underestimated that whole patriarchy thing, didn’t I? ---

I’m surprised she’s not Mrs. Universe I guess she never wanted to marry. Careers are more important these days.
