She recently became the "new" face of Dimepiece LA, a clothing brand known for its loud slogans ("love don't pay the bills" and "treat your girl right," for example) and celebrity following. Her posters (one shown above) debuted at this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival , and as a spokeman for the brand stated, "Our brand has always stood for timeless female empowerment and continues to encourage this mindset in our newest campaign." Do you think she is a good poster girl for this brand?
She's an amazing choice--young at heart and that's what it is all about

Baddie Winkle actively supports the legalization of marijuana, although she claims she has never tried it herself. She has taken photographs holding joints, to support her cause. Do you think this Granny is a good role model for today's younger generation?
Yes, she's telling them that life doesn't have to "age" you if you're young at heart
