TikTok user @Desertstr71 is one of those people and is a self-described “cougar.”
The gorgeous blonde shared a video of herself featuring several photos of her looking her best.

The song features lyrics such as: “Don’t try to make me feel insecure / Cause I’m aging like wine / I get better with time, yes, I do.”
Several people in the comments section agreed with the message of the song.
“Wow,” wrote one person with a heart emoji.
Another wrote: “Loooking [sic] gorgeous.”
“Beautiful,” wrote a third person.
Meanwhile, a redheaded cougar says that people compare her to Stiffler’s mom from the film American Pie when she drops her kids off at school.
The stunning woman, who goes by @gingercoog on TikTok, has wracked up an impressive following for her playful content embracing motherhood.
In one video, the fresh-faced ‘cougar’ showed herself lip-syncing in the front seat of her car.
“Have fun kids!” she mouthed. “I’ll just be here listening to my tunes!”
The audio then makes an abrupt transition to the lyrics of $uicideboy$ hit song, Carrollton.
@gingercoog sings along while pumping her fist and shaking her chest to the beat.
In the caption, she threw in the hashtags #cougartok and #hotmom.

Actress Liz Carr still has ‘huge anxiety’ after being told as a teen she would not live long
ACTRESS Liz Carr — Silent Witness wheelchair boffin Clarissa — still has “huge anxiety” after being told as a teen she would not live long, she says.
Liz, 50, who has a genetic ailment affecting joints and muscles, said she was terrified after her doctor gave the prognosis.
Liz Carr still has ‘huge anxiety’ after being told as a teen she would not live long, she says[/caption]
She told Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs: “Every night before bed, when my mum was talking . . . I’d go: ‘Will I die tonight?’ And she’d say ‘No’ and I’d go, ‘Yeah, but you don’t know that’.”
She added: “I used to be a patient of a very fearful doctor, you would go to her consultations, and a big booming woman.
“I was like, I didn’t know I was scared. I was very ill. What’s going to happen? We don’t know but you won’t live to be old.
“How it affected me, is every night before I went to bed, when my mom was talking about like, I’d go: ‘Will I die tonight?’ And she’d say ‘no’ and I’d go, ‘Yeah, but you don’t know that’.
“I need realism and when you’re told that by a doctor, and of course we believe doctors and now to this day, I don’t think there’s a day goes by when I don’t think about that.
“I have huge anxiety a lot of the time but I have lived so far with that (view) I’ve got to do it now because who knows.”

Freezing fuel duty won’t make a difference to Britain’s drivers, if petrol forecourts keep profiteering[/caption]
But retailers now pocket 19p a litre profit instead of 9p last year.
Freezing fuel duty, as the Chancellor did, makes no difference to White Van Man if forecourts carry on profiteering.
The RAC says if just one major retailer did the right thing and cut prices to justifiable levels, rivals would follow suit.
But that is exactly the effect the Government could bring about permanently with a new Pumpwatch regulator to monitor and publicise prices.
Why did the Budget not mention it?
Out to Africa
FOR all the carping at the “unworkability” of the Rwanda migrants scheme, the African country has the capacity to take thousands who have landed here illegally.
But we suspect only a fraction of those places will be needed.
The concept of a deterrent confuses the Left.
But once small-boat migrants realise they are buying tickets to Rwanda, via Dover, they will go elsewhere.
Channel crossings will dry up.
Denmark and Germany are mulling such schemes too.
But Labour remains so opposed it has absurdly declared Rwanda a “failure” before it has begun.
Blinkered ideology increasingly over-rules solutions in Keir Starmer’s party.
France erupts
IMAGINE if the Tories suddenly raised the retirement age two years without a vote, defying parliament and triggering riots.
The Left would explode.
They would brand Rishi Sunak a fascist, hit him with paralysing lawsuits and public shamings in Parliament.
To Twitter’s halfwits he would be “worse than Hitler”.
But this is President Macron we are talking about — photogenic poster boy for the Remoaner delusion of the liberal, inclusive EU.
He gets a free pass.
As it happens, we agree with Macron.
Tragic though it is to imagine the French having to work beyond 62, the new 64 limit is still lower than most.
If their pension system’s going bust, well, c’est la vie.
Licence to kill
A RISE of 8.2 per cent in the BBC licence could be the last straw for a skint public.
That is the forecast hike in 2024 in line with inflation after a two-year freeze.
Millions are increasingly outraged at paying a mandatory tax on their TV in this modern era of multi-channel choice and subscription streaming.
It is madness that this broadcaster is still funded using a model devised a century ago.
So is the idea that the BBC cannot get by on the £3.7billion currently extracted from us each year and gifted to it by the State

I’m an 80-year-old bodybuilder – I look unrecognisable in throwback pic from my heyday… but I’m still working out now
FEW people maintain gruelling exercise routines as they hit 80, but legendary veteran bodybuilder Frank Zane does.
The 80-year-old shared a picture of his sun-soaked and muscle-clad younger self, while still vowing to not let old age get in the way of his training.
The throwback picture is taken around the time the champ was winning Mr Olympia titles in the late 70s[/caption]
At 80, Zane still keeps up with his serious fitness routines[/caption]
The former bodybuilding champ has been looking back on his glory days to encourage others to stay motivated.
In an Instagram post, alongside a picture from his heyday, he wrote: “A lot of guys have better genes but if you work hard and consistently, you can outperform them.”
The tactic has clearly worked for Zane, who won the esteemed Mr Olympia and Mr Universe titles three times each.
Through his 50 year-long career, he has worked alongside other legends in the business, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Zane is one of only three in the world to have defeated Schwarzenegger in professional bodybuilding.
The veteran muscleman has achieved a highly coveted spot in the “Top 10 Legends of Bodybuilding” and a rightful space in the Bodybuilding Hall of Fame.
Now, he is often found sharing his wisdom online and acting as a performance coach for millions.
Recently, he shared that a secret to his success is focusing “on the quality of your sets instead of weight and number of reps”.
He also encouraged his followers to “never work to failure but success, striving to perform the last repetition in a set with perfect form before you stop and rest for maximum before the next set.”
In terms of his throwback thirst trap, his fans rushed to the comment section. One wrote: “You are living proof of that.”
Another said: “Old is gold champ .. god bless you always”.

What’s left to remake these days in the shock-horror realm, now that Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been put through it multiple times? Until Hollywood remembers that European sleaze merchants made a lot of cannibal pictures in the 1970s, one of the most notorious mondo movies is making a comeback: Faces of Death, a…
