71-Year-Old Miss Texas USA Competitor Makes History

A 71-year-old woman became the oldest competitor in Miss Texas USA history. Marissa Teijo's entry into the pageant was made possible because of recent changes that removed the age limit and the rule that all contestants must be single. For her, the best part of the pageant was seeing the reaction from women her age. "After the competition, a lot of the older ladies came up to me and they were thrilled," Teijo says.

Never seen someone look that good at 70... She could pass for 45.

That lady has some amazing genes. She still looks very healthy and beautiful at her age. ❤🎉

Yo people, the big one is don't eat processed foods. That's my big advice.

[Marilyn-npls]

She is a rare combination of having excellent genes and taking great care of herself - including lifting weights to stay in shape. I guarantee she is very careful about what she eats. Very inspiring

Should've won that, for lookin that young at 71

She looks like she drank the potion from Death Becomes Her. She literally looks mid 40s.

As a young woman, i love seeing hot older women! It motivates me to take care of myself more, especially as i get older. It makes life seem less depressing too 😂

Freaking awesome! Way to go Miss Texas USA. I'm lovin' Texas !!

I would have guessed she was in her 40s.. She looks magnificent for any age.. She is an extremely beautiful woman..

[Delmar]

I don't think it should be about age, so that is a great improvement to the pagent. However, those who have undergone plastic surgery or botox injections to try to look younger, this should not be allowed. It should be about natural beauty.

This was such a great video. Thanks. Just loved her.

She’s amazing and the embodiment of “age is just a number.” So many people get older and miserable and act like their life is over. But in reality each day is a gift that needs to be appreciated at any age. Celebrate the miracle that is life!

[Unbrokensoul]

Truly inspiring I hope I'm like you at 71.

[linedanzer]

She looks terrific! And, yes, *she is an INSPIRATION!!!*

[CobraF]

Wow... she looks absolutely fantastic. Even her eyes look super young and she's mentally sharp! Her voice even sounds young. Her tips for a healthy life must be valid!

She looks great! Aging is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength.
