Flesh-flashing influencer, 54, branded as ‘pathetic’ for wearing skimpy leotard in public: ‘Arrest her’

If you’ve got it, flaunt it — and 54-year-old Lou Featherstone is taking that to heart.

The influencer and self-love advocate has been the subject of intense scrutiny after posting on social media dancing in a leotard as critics scold her for being “embarrassing.”

In the viral clip, the content creator can be seen prancing around in a tight, black one piece to recreate the scene from the 1983 flick “Flashdance.”

In the caption, she reminisced on her first job as an influencer: selling a shower chair.

She recalled being “grumpy” when she was first approached with the idea, thinking she wasn’t “quite old enough for a damn shower chair,” she wrote.

“Initially, I said no to the job because I didn’t think I was old enough for a shower chair – and honestly, I was a bit insulted,” she told Jam Press.

“But then I realized that if I was truly about busting age myths, I couldn’t only do it while I was fit and healthy. I’m either authentic in my message or not.”

So, she took the chair to a local fountain to “recreate the most iconic shower scene I could think of,” she wrote, adding that the original video “sold a bunch of chairs.”

While many viewers applauded her in the caption, others didn’t have kind words.

“Put clothes on, please. Eww,” snarked one person.

“Someone arrest her,” another hater wrote.

“Great to do this, but please cover up the old body… ya ain’t in yer 20s, love!” someone else commented.

“Maybe you could dance a bit more modestly. I don’t want to see your bare nanna cheeks,” insulted another.

Featherstone told Jam Press that such remarks “were horrendous.”

“The worst part? Most of them came from women,” she noted.

While she mostly ignores men’s reactions — “sadly, I expect it from them,” she added — she said that women “have to stop tearing each other apart” if they “expect men to respect us.”

“We are steeped in shame and fear, handed a rulebook as children about how a woman should behave and act,” she said, calling it “outdated and ridiculous.”

“So when some women see another woman being free and strong, they feel threatened, scared, and lash out. It’s classic bullying behavior, but it’s so dangerous.”

She has made it her mission to empower other women to be their authentic selves and be more confident with age, telling Jam Press that she wants to “inspire and motivate women to turn this next chapter into the best time of their lives instead of the dry, sexless, painful, grief-filled chapter we’re told it will be.”

“I’m a self-love and confidence coach, and so many women are crippled with fear and anxiety because they worry about what others think,” she said.

“They live half a life, fearful of judgment, while sitting in judgment of another woman who’s living her best life.”

While she knows not everyone will want to dance in a fountain like her, she does it “to inspire and show people what’s possible,” she said.

“I share my story in such a personal way because it took me so long to find my own confidence – I don’t want other women to go through that,” she explained.

“I wonder how different my life could have been if I’d found my voice and loved myself harder in my younger years.”
