As for the bikini shot I may be getting old but isn't she just a little too mature for that costume? 'Mutton dressed as lamb' as Mrs Scott would put it?
If she were totally naked, would she be just "mutton"? I for one wouldn't object to being "forced" to look, whatever she wore ... but imho what makes a woman attractive / young / old or whatever is far more complicated than what she might choose to wear while she is sunning herself round a swimming pool on holiday.
P.s. She was, after all "showing her support..."
