A few men sitting on a nearby bench whistled and hollered “16” as she opened her gate, to which Miss Dottie replied with a wave.

“I like to party a lot and I know every type of music from Rae Town type to the 6ix them. I wear bare sexy clothes,” she said.

A seamstress by profession, her face lights up as she spoke about her family.

“I have one daughter, four grandchildren, five great-grand, and one great great-grand. Sometimes when I am going out with my daughter and family, people will ask who is the mother because I dress differently from them. Them dress nice still, enuh, but mi love short clothes. Mi wear long things too but it haffi sexy. Even if I am at home, everything mi wear have to be sexy,” she said laughing.

Various shorts sets

Miss Dottie designed most of her clothing which includes various shorts sets, short stylish dresses, and rompers.

While the majority will shower her with praises and admiration, there are the few naysayers who will throw negative criticisms her way but Miss Dottie remains unbothered.

“I don’t pay them any mind. I just tell them bye. When them say mi a act like mi young, mi tell them to go call the police because I am sure I am not breaking any law if I choose to stay young and fresh,” she said.

Most persons her age suffer from ailments and depend on medication for survival, but not Miss Dottie. One will never guess the remedy for her youthfulness.

“They say vegetable is healthy but I don’t eat vegetable. I love pork and I blend up my natural juices and just keep myself happy. Thankfully, I don’t have any known sickness. I do my little exercises and I don’t have any pain anywhere in my body,” she said.

Miss Dottie has many admirers, including those who are four decades her junior. But while she appreciates their admiration, she never gives them the time of the day.

“A nuff young bwoy mi catch and they are always giving me compliments which I appreciate. I never look at them though because a lot of them are young enough to be my great grandsons. My daughter is 59 years old and my first grandchild is 40 so I will never ever be seen dating a youngster,” she said.

She re-emphasised that she is not romantically attached to anyone and is merely enjoying her life.

“Mi no into the man ting … I am a single woman. The boyfriend them nuh have any money and mi love go market. The man them say mi expensive because mi nuh go KFC and dem ting deh. Mi like my cook food. Mi love money so dem stay far and I don’t mind,” she said.
