A 55-YEAR-OLD woman who has always “dreamed of walking the runway” has been told to “get a life” by cruel trolls.
Sue regularly takes to her social media pages to share videos and images of herself to show off her figure in skimpy ensembles.
And in a recent Reel on her Instagram page, she sported a barely-there bikini as she pulled off her best model poses and asked: “Do you think I have a chance of becoming a model – even at 55?”
She added in the caption that she “let go” of her modelling dream as she got older, explaining: “Society made me believe that modeling was only for the young, that beauty had an expiration date, and that after a certain age, doors would start closing”.
But Sue has decided to hit back at her critics, as she asked: “Who decided that dreams have an age limit?”
So she’s decided to “reclaim” her dream, in a bid to prove that “age isn’t a barrier, it’s a statement”.
“To anyone who has ever given up on a dream because they thought they were ‘too old’ – it’s never too late to start,” Sue concluded.
But trolls were quickly active in the comments section, with one yelling: “Grow up granny!”
“Can you act anymore desperate?” another sighed.
“Basically, get a life,” a third urged.
“You have children, maybe grandchildren!!!
“Spend your time with them and not on the internet 24/7.”

“WTF? The desperation… go do granny stuff,” another added.
“Sad, put your dress on and stop attention seeking,” someone else said.

“Models should be all ages – I don’t believe it’s only for the young.
“You have worked hard to look fabulous!”
“Definitely possible,” another added.
“Women do NOT have an expiration date!
“And we need more women in other age groups than 20 to represent us.”
“I think it would be healthy and an extremely positive influence to have mature ladies on the runway,” a third agreed.
“It would send out a positive message that beauty exists throughout life, because it does!”
“Why is there so much hate? She’s bold, brave and beautiful – she deserves to shine,” someone else wrote.
