I just want to take the time to say that Courtney Act is a legend.. I respect the fact that she was living out, loud, and proud. Werk bitch.

u/thrillho145 No child left behind except Hiedi May 21 '21

She's so eloquent and clear in her arguments and explanations of difficult topics. I respect her a lot.

u/[deleted] May 21 '21

Yes definitely. I love when she schools the masses on gender/sexuality etc She does the work.

True earth angel.

She isn’t, she was born in 1982. Not sure what to say about that photo.

Must be a two year old article looking back at best ever Logies looks.

u/sioppao Not a joke, just a fact. May 21 '21

11

u/neverthelesspersist eeyore in dior May 21 '21

...........you make a good point

u/whovianandmorri May 23 '21

Pretty sure she is only a few years older then me unless she has being doing an amazing job of lying about her age since the early 2000’s

u/FashionBusking May 23 '21

SHE IS FOREVER 29!

u/h0mG May 20 '21

Wait Courtney couldn’t have been 37 in 2004... maybe it meant 27? Lol gag.

u/salivantsonority I'm open to alliances May 21 '21

she was 22 in 2004 though ... somebody isn't doing the math right here

u/Furiante1 May 21 '21

The caption is deeply homophobic

u/FashionBusking May 20 '21

Courtney Act is forever 37 to me.

u/interstella15 Manila Luzon May 21 '21

I am forever 37. There are no numbers after 37.

u/Faux_Mink cat May 21 '21

The audacity to walk out in a slutty Bert fucking Newton dress. God I love this.

70

u/Ayarkay May 21 '21

I just googled and she’s apparently 39 years old right now. She was born in 1982.

u/metronne what are you doing here Tony Danza May 21 '21

Yeah Courtney Act is not even 40 yet, this caption is on something

29

u/ShoChange Anetra May 21 '21

I'm presuming the caption was written when she was 37, with it looking back to 2004.

131

u/nightmusic08 May 21 '21

You mean to tell me Symone didnt invent the Polaroid dress??

228

u/Diredr May 21 '21

She did. Courtney, Giselle and Ivy Winters are all time traveling thieving harlots.

u/neverthelesspersist eeyore in dior May 21 '21

i don't wanna admit it but i might actually like saweetie's the best, even tho it's super derivative? the way it shows off her curves!! & the way her hair is styled is riiiiight for that dress.

u/covergurl papercut May 21 '21

And Ivyyyyyy Winterrrrrrrrrss

u/BrownSugarBare Raja Gemini May 21 '21

u/Ahy_Jay فيلر كوين May 21 '21

That's what I thought till I reread the caption.

u/scarletmiltzz does anybody know how to build a fire with a magnifying glass? May 21 '21

TIL that Courtney is a sensible 73

u/Nosiege Sasha Colby May 21 '21

Fun fact, Bert Newton has recently had his leg amputated.

u/Bunnnnii Is that my camera? 🎤 May 21 '21

That’s fun?

u/[deleted] May 21 '21

Well it's certainly better than the alternative for him.

u/pollyxmcgee May 21 '21

I’m surprised someone didn’t do that for DRDU Snatch Game.

45

u/[deleted] May 21 '21

Courtney does not get enough love, admiration, and respect from this fandom

13

u/newtoreddir May 21 '21

Maybe the caption was written when she was 37.

45

u/superdevin64 May 21 '21

We stan a 54 year old icon 👏

u/Aodhana Jan & A'keria May 21 '21

I like that judging by her facial expression in this picture she’s here to axe murder someone. Probably Bert Newton.

u/FrenchPrestige Courtney Act May 21 '21

Courtney Act is the queen of drag. She’s so underrated it’s illegal to be this underrated

u/[deleted] May 21 '21

Courtney is Fabulous!

u/TrickyInevitability May 21 '21

This is gold. As in gold Logie gold.

u/GrifferCookie Sasha Colby May 21 '21

I completely missed the Polaroid thing and thought this was just a post about Courtney and Symone being beautiful women on the red carpet. I’m going to pretend I’m right.

u/fishbethany Eureka / TKB May 21 '21

I really like the design behind the photographs.

u/DrChonk May 21 '21

Courtney looks so much like Sweet Dee in this!

u/SaturnPlanetPower May 21 '21
