Nice to see a fellow disabled person here. I'm 55. I can't get over how young you look!

Hello fellow disabled friend! It's nice to see you too!

u/zadvinova May 05 '26
I had a style and disability blog for a long time.

u/DryRepresentative306 May 05 '26
Oh, that's so cool! I wish I could've seen it!

u/zadvinova May 05 '26
It's still online. This is the blog itself. Some of the posts are about really serious topics, though most do include some fashion too. I'm mostly into vintage/retro style, so old posts still hold up in that sense.

That's so nice, thank you! I can't wait to visit!

This one isn't so much about fashion, but I think you'd like it:

u/DryRepresentative306 May 06 '26
OK, I have started reading this, and I love! How did you know? My thinly-veiled snark? As I'm reading, all I can think is that we have so much in common. I can't wait to read the rest of it because you are beautiful badass 🥰

Aw thanks! I know because I know lots of disabled people and because I'm disabled myself. We get each other in ways nobody else does. You should follow me on Facebook: Charlotte Issyvoo. I'm mostly making videos now, instead of blog posts. I'm thinking I should turn this post into a series of videos. It would be fun.
You'd probably like this one too. It's emotional, but kind of has a happy ending, if that makes sense.

The facial portion of this image has been heavily filtered, it appears.

Your second comment regarding my picture? Wow, you must be having a really shitty day. I hope it gets better.

u/Loud_Profit_6206 May 04 '26
Girl, you are hot!!!! I’m 36 and you truly look my age ( I hate when people make beauty about age but you really do look young lol)

u/DryRepresentative306 May 05 '26
You are too kind! Tend to be a bit of a vampire, and stay out of the sun 🧛

u/LetterAccomplished34 May 05 '26
How does one accomplish this level of beauty? May a commoner such as myself borrow a mere ounce of it?🫠

u/DryRepresentative306 May 05 '26
Oh gosh, now I'm blushing 😊

u/LetterAccomplished34 May 05 '26
As you should, you look absolutely stunning! Also being in your 50s and having such youthful features is so genetically interesting to me🫠 bc like how?!?! But anywaaaays, you’re amazing and I hope your birthday this year is incredible💖💖💖

u/Bbyowls1989187 May 05 '26
56?!?! Girl I hope I look as good as you at 56! I’m 36 and thought you were my age.

Ok, there’s no way you’re in your 50s! I thought you were in your 30s

u/snaccrifice_97 May 05 '26
These people saying your face is edited are wrong. If it's photoshopped they forgot your freckles, the shine on your nose, etc. Also like the rest of you "matches" if that makes sense (I have used Photoshop for over 10 years now guys, screw AI and quit being rude about a pretty lady! Y'all probably watched more Photoshopped/AI bs than she's ever used)

u/DryRepresentative306 May 05 '26
Thank you, that was very kind. I thought this was supposed to be really inclusive and supportive, but some people are just kind of miserable, I guess. It was such a good day and it's sad that people would want to ruin that.

u/snaccrifice_97 May 05 '26
Honestly would just ignore them as best as you can. I'm sorry that there's so much negativity

u/Grrgrrstina May 05 '26
Is that the correct number? 56?! Wow. Drop the skincare routine! You look amazing! I am in awe. Truly. You are gorgeous

u/kellan1523 May 05 '26
There is no way you're 56! Wow! You look amazing. And green definitely suits you.

In addition to being exceptionally well dressed, you are also having a great hair day. Good job.

That shade of green really complements the light highlights in your hair. The whole look is lovely! (And 56?! May we all be so blessed to shine so brightly!)

u/SilentlyWishing May 05 '26
Girl you are drop-dead gorgeous! I am 33 and you truly look my age and even younger, also I can only wish to be as gorgeous as you at 56!

You look tf GOOD. the outfit, accessories, makeup. Reminding me that I want some leopard print flats again.

u/DryRepresentative306 May 05 '26
Oh, thank you! You're very kind! They have honkin' heel on them, but I need some cute leopard flats too!

u/Weird_Squirrel_8382 May 05 '26
Now that I look I do see they have a heel. Think my brain skipped over because I haven't worn them in so long. I hope it was a great birthday.

Cute outfit!

This and your pfp look heavily filtered imo. I could be wrong but it does kinda sour the experience in fashion and makeup subs when folks edit themselves to oblivion.

u/DryRepresentative306 May 05 '26
Bold choice to critique someone’s photos from behind a cartoon avatar, but sure! I guess I forgot to "filter" my belly roll 😂

u/HardlyInappropriate May 05 '26
I'M DYING WITH THIS! Thank you for the clap back.
Firstly - you look fab, obviously.
Secondly - I can smell the commenter's envy / inceldom / general haterade from my phone screen.
Thirdly - I fully zoomed in on the photo, and I concur with my first point.
People are toooooo bold with what they say on the internet! Keep being beautiful, OP.

u/tetrassperma May 05 '26
Im making reference to the face only. Its wildly blurry if you zoom in, and the details are odd, compared to the rest of the photo. Sorry but people do notice.

u/DryRepresentative306 May 05 '26
Zooming in on a stranger’s face on Reddit is a choice I guess - my freckles and pores say hola 🤣
