The "Broads" Of The Year

The dictionary defines the word "broad" as a slang term for woman, it is usually considered derogatory. I think it is a badge of honor to be called a "Broad". A "Broad", to me is someone who tells it likes it is, who doesn't give a rat's ass what others think and who is incredibly ballsy in everything they do. It is a title that comes with age. A young girl could never be a broad, they haven't earned that knowledge and experience yet. 
.
Some classic broads are: 
Mae West, 
Bea Arthur, 
Suzanne Pleshette, 
Bette Midler 
and of course my mother. 
.
These are my picks for the "Broads" of the year.
.

.
Dame Helen Mirren at 63
.
.
Kathy Griffin at 48
.

.
Jennifer Tilly at 50
.
.
Tabatha Coffey at 39
.

.
Cyndi Lauper at 55
.
Derogatory, my ass, it's a great club to be in.

Feel free to add your favorite "Broads" in the comment section.

My aunt Manya, she tells it and says it like it is. You don't know her from a hole in a donut, but ask mom. And ask Chickipoo....she knows its okay to say the "f" word, cause aunt Manya says it's okay. (She will be 85 in June) Admire the hey out of her.
