Flip through the 24-hour news networks and you’ll get an awfully grim view of the world. We sure can take ourselves pretty seriously.

But you know who doesn’t seem so caught up in all the nonsense? Baddiewinkle, a.k.a. Helen Ruth Van Winkle.

Winkle is an impressive 87 years old, but not a damn thing could possibly get in her way of being the most fabulous thing on the planet.

She’s also amassed an Instagram following of nearly 2 million people, which just goes to show how infectious her bold, colorful freak-flag-flying attitude is.

Check out a sampling below, and you may want to subscribe to inject your photo feed with some much-needed life:
