Isn't one Tired-looking-Old-Tart trying to be half her age quite enough? Kylie used to be pretty but, apparently, she can't accept that her vogue has passed.

Although she's staggeringly rich it's just not enough.

Why Kylie?

I think having a go at Kylie is a bit of a silly idea.

Why is mae13 starting such a vile thread? On holiday from school perhaps?
Mae13 is a prolific thread starter, p always have the salt pot handy, l believe Gransnet would be rather tame without her and her ilk.*

Personally, I think Gransnet would be perfectly ok and a better place without the likes of this OP!

I've previously proffered the opinion that she's a plant.

What do you mean, OldFrill?

Like ivy or ragwort?
Or deadly nightshade?

What a strange turn of phrase.

As for the “old tart” comment - people in glasshouses etc.
- don’t hold back OP, but you could try to be nice. (For a change)

Are you feeling sour because you couldn't get a ticket to her Tension Tour, OP?

I understand it sold out very quickly.

I quite like Kylie.

Very much a gay icon I believe.

I like them both and couldn’t care less what some grumpy bitter OP thinks 😂😂😂

Horrid thread. Jealous or what. Kylie is lovely, fought back from breast cancer, and continues to entertain. Why not.

Hi, I'm new here and would like to know where to start discussion with grandparents about grandchildren? Thx

Hi.

One of these forums:

These forums;

Grandparenting

Relationships (tends to be adult relationships)

Estrangement (if there is a problem)

AIBU (am I being unreasonable) if you want an opinion on a family controversy.

Let’s be kind!

Interesting that the OP chose to post this under the heading
Everyday Ageism
as the post is a prime example of ageism, particularly directed at women.

Ageism refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age.

mae13 as a plant to stir us up? I hadn't thought of that but it may well be so. Best not to engage, although I will do just that by commenting. Is there a male equivalent of a tired looking old tart?

I presume Kylie is trying to reinvent herself, to keep herself "relevant" and in the media.
My guess, anyway.
ps, not seen pictures of her.

escaped Mon 07-Apr-25 15:18:58

Kylie is just fine.

Redblueandgreen Mon 07-Apr-25 15:25:01

The language OP has used reveals much about herself.

BlueBelle Mon 07-Apr-25 15:31:09

Well if Mae13 is a plant we are all feeding her/it
Shall we all stop and let the thread die a natural death

Yes, my thoughts exactly! Shouldn't we have got past the stage of trying to drag other women down just for the sake of it? An 'old tart' - really?

I know this thread is hideous but amongst it I have discovered that Granny gravy sort of knows Kylie Minoguesmile

We're sort of related to a famous film star who isn't trying to be Madonna!

Allira Mon 07-Apr-25 20:06:00

Actually, are related!!

Galaxy Mon 07-Apr-25 20:13:45

Well you have to give the name now Allira.

Such a tease grin

Elrel Mon 07-Apr-25 21:49:21

Oh dear, unnecessarily bitchy jealousy. Why?
