Sympatická päťdesiatnička žije v austrálskom Melbourne a je absolútnou zástankyňou prirodzeného starnutia. Podľa nej je najpríťažlivejšou ženskou vlastnosťou sebavedomie. A práve to je u každého z nás neustále bombardované fotkami „dokonalých“ tiel.

Melinde sebavedomie rozhodne nechýba. Je presvedčená o tom, že zmieriť sa so starnutím je ľahšie ako bojovať s každou vráskou. Vo svojich 54 rokoch neváhala nafotiť kolekciu plaviek pre veľký austrálsky obchod Target. Nehanbila sa ukázať ani svoje šediny, ani svoje telo, a to dokonca v bikinách.

Melinda je vo videu naľavo.

When I wore this for Target Aus it garnered the headline around the world "look who's wearing a bikini, you won't believe it" Like anyone over 50 should keep themselves in a tankini or one piece. It was totally liberating to say the least. I really hoped it would show other women if I could rock it so could they. I'm not perfect I've got lumps and bumps but I hope it's my confidence that shines through 👊🏻 these images are raw unretouched. .. #nevertooold #lookwhoswearingabikini #targetaus @targetaus #40plus #over50 #bikini #swimwearmodel #whatswrongwithbeingconfident #notretouched #notperfect #ownit #loveyourself #beproud #over50andfabulous #silverhair #classicmodel #maturemodel #photo @craigbanksphoto #hairandmakeup @becshannon 💋🙏 I'm modelling with two beauties @monika.clarke @samanthastanwell ❤️</a>

Táto kampaň spôsobila rozruch, ale aj skvelé ohlasy. Melinda je spokojná: „Konečne sa ukázalo, že žena 50+ si môže obliecť aj bikini, kým ostatné ženy v jej veku robia v tomto biznise akurát modelky na vložky pri inkontinencii či domovy dôchodcov,“ povedala Melinda pre Daily Mail Australia.

„Snažím sa byť taká, aký chcem, aby bol svet,“ vyznáva sa. Táto kampaň ju vyniesla na svetlo sveta a na jej instagramovom účte má už tisícky fanúšikov. Jej zlatá rada pre všetky ženy znie: „Postavte sa ďalej od zrkadla. Ja sa nikdy nepozerám na svoje vrásky a nedokonalosti, nikdy totiž nestojím pri zrkadle tak blízko. Nikdy nebudem chcieť zmeniť svoju tvár a už teraz sa neviem dočkať, ako bude vyzerať neskôr,“ uzatvára Melinda, ktorá sa úplne zmierila s procesom starnutia.

Being single isn't really exclusively for 20 and 30 somethings is it? Ive been single for 10 years ....and I've put it out there and kissed around a thousand frogs but still I'll be damned if I've found my prince 💃🏻 Hey The Bachelorette Aus!! At 54 I've dated everything from 30 to 60, I'm funny, smart, spontaneous, not camera shy, and looking for the love of my life, why don't you help me find him? You could cast me some silver foxes and throw in a few toy boys .. It'll be television GOLD! Sincerely @missbrady 😊 Dear followers free to repost this and tag myself and The Bachelorette Aus if you'd like to see me find love xx @edwinacarrbarraclough do you think @Mamamia might get behind this 🙌🏻 .. @bacheloretteau #bacheloretteau help me #findlove #singletons #maturesingles 💋</a>
