56-Year-Old Woman Proves You Can Be Sexy No Matter How Old You Are (NSFW)
Meet Texas native Julie H., also known as The Burning Lotus – a 56-year-old model who has been taking provocative pictures, celebrating the sex appeal, of herself for a while now.
“I posted my images initially as a dare to myself ― again, an affirmation of existence,” Julie said. But after posting a side picture of herself holding up her black bra and showing the full body tattoo, Julie became pretty popular online. “The ‘senior ink’ image caught fire in a random way that still confuses and overwhelms me,” she said. Ever since Julie’s Tumblr audience has been growing and she now has over 92k followers that admire her piercings and tattoos and the way she portrays herself. She was even voted #3 in Bored Panda’s list of tattooed elderly people. An older woman can be sexy no matter what her age is, and Julie definitely proves so! You can see Julie’s photos below.

“Society assigns value and stigma on what is acceptable and what isn’t”

Share on FacebookKudos to her for feeling confident in her skin. However, sexy comes in many different ways, and you don't necessarily have to be naked, and posing "provocatively" to be sexy. Sometimes sexy can be a look in the eye, eloquent speech, sex appeal (not to be misconstrued with wardrobe), etc. Sexy comes in many different forms and many different ages.
??? I don't think it says anywhere here that she's old... it only says that she's 56.
Load More Replies...I'm an RN who has had hundreds of older both men & women with extensive tattooing. The looser your skin gets with the aging process, the less these tattoos looks like works of art . Folds of skin or adipose tissue breaks up the designs , &, if a tattoo was poorly done to begin with, the designs become blurred & muddy. Julie H. has good quality tattoos. I'm sure I will be voted down. That's O.K.
You're absolutely correct Nancy. She face is a great indicator at to what her tattoos will resemble as she ages.
Load More Replies...All she proved is that she can be naked. Not much of an accomplishment. Even this article persists in saying that women are only sexy when naked. What a fail.
Because first and foremost...it shows you have pride in yourself ...I'm a 46 yr old hottest and I'll keep it that way. ...my husband is a 52 year old hottest and I like him that way.....we do it for ourselves and each other.
Load More Replies...And her liver spots but now I'm just being mean! I'm not looking forward to getting those :(
Load More Replies...The reason that shes remarkable is that women her age are supposed to disappear into tje background and not be wanton and sexually aggressive and confident. She clearly is abd thats great,that's what Ill be doing at that age too.I dont understand why women who dont want to sexualize themselves hate on women who do. If you feel confident, appreciated, sexy & loved exactly how you are (however that may be)thats beautiful,but I dont grasp what causes you to feel as if her being acknowledged as beautiful somehow negates that you are equally so, in your own way.I think she's beautiful because she's not afraid to show off her confidence in her sexuality.I find this quality attractive in all sexes and genders. This country is way too repressed and does far too much shaming of sexuality. One person's brazeness doesn't mean that you also must be brazen in order to be perceived as sexy. Are you so insecure? Really? Some of you commented just to say that you don't like tattoos ? Awesome.
Or you could just eat healthily and exercise!
Load More Replies...If I had her body I would never wear clothes. Unfortunately my flat a*s won't look as good on camera.
Yeah what Boredpanda?? No no!! This lady is special. She's in better shape than most 29 year olds. Of course she's still sexy as hell!
So at what age should I expect to become not-sexy? According to this, EVEN at 56 I may be lucky enough to be...I have seen women and men in 60's, 70's and 80's who still have that something that makes your heart skip. Makes me a little ticked to still have to see an article like this. The woman is gorgeous, celebrating our bodies regardless of the age is an important message.
WTF...oh soooo she is brave? What?! You are brave if you have confidance in yourself and something you believe in, something you do, something that makes you YOU...So she is "hot 56" and she gives ppl hope? WTF.. what a load of c**p..But on the other hand I understan her, she is in need for attention, asking of people to say how beautiful she is, brave, with confidence...she needs to do some serious personal questioning. Do a therapy or something. BRAVE is not the body..it can only be the mind.
You say 'You are brave if you have confidance in yourself and something you believe in, something you do, something that makes you YOU' Isn't that what she has done? It's Funny your comment, I don't see how insulting another woman's choices make you an advocate for what is or isn't brave. sitting behind your computer wharlst writing shite about people who put them selves out there, is cowardly at best. But don't worry I understand you, you were in need of some attention.

She says “Society assigns value and stigma on what is acceptable and what isn’t” and she's right. But she is exactly what the American society finds beautiful...slim, white body with no visible flaws, which makes it less risky to post her photos. And she is more likely go get positive feedback. However, not many people have this type of body. She makes very odd statements about giving people hope..." I bring them hope about the aging process and/or they are no longer frightened about growing old" which means they hope they can keep their prefect bodies? It's all very strange to me. There are so many more important aspects to life then a " perfectly imperfect" body.
When you can captivate someone with your clothes on, that’s an empowered woman.
Bet they wouldn't say that if she was plus sized. Don't get me wrong I love seeing people who are comfortable in their own skin and kudos to her, I just think this article would say other things if she didn't fit into most of societies beauty standards.
She has aged well and will have an attractive body for several more years but time affects us all and even if she has cosmetic work done the ink will blur.
MY EYES!!!!!! Good gawd... it's a nightmare in which Iggy Pop was a girl...
I think she's lovely. I'm 52 and wish my body looked like hers. I wish I had her confidence.
WTF?! What a load of c**p...Brave...She is brave?! She is in serious need for attention. I would recommend some therapy. And for the rest of the ppl turned on by this thing (whatever it is) - BRAVE IS THE MIND, NOT THE BODY!
I m just spellbound by her enthusiasm and confidence, every single picture of her is beautiful and a tight slap on the face of those who posts vulgar posses in the name of beauty and glamour"
Yeah she's hot. These pictures seem to show the lens through which she sees herself as well. She knows the beauty she posses and she's not afraid to show it off.
I admire her courage to show that any ages can be a sexy model but she's got way too many tattoos to look good. That's just my opinion.
I don't find her at all sexy because she doesn't look happy - she looks pretty grumpy and mean. A smile on the face of someone who is happy is the sexiest thing I can think of
A naked woman with tattoos all over her body and considers herself sexy is exceedingly strange and in need of some positive feedback... here is some for ya next time get your face tattooed now that would be an improvement. Beauty and sexy lies in the eye of the beholder and I think she is neither!
OMG I think something just flew out my window!! Oh wait. It is everything women have been trying to prove since... forever. This is very, very frustrating to see. NO: men aren't needed for a woman to be sexy AF (heard of lesbians? Or single people?) NO: women aren't constantly trying to impress a man (hard to believe, right!?).
Load More Replies...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - Proverb Seriously. If you don't think she is 'sexy', then you don't need to tell the world that. I am sure there are many people who think she is and also people who think she isn't (Oh my god! How is this possible?!?!?!?!?) Rocket Science, right?!?!?!?
