A local Betoota family has been seen high fiving and grinning ear to ear as the matriarch showed off her recently purchased metallic silver sparkly sneakers last weekend. 

54 year old Donna Resling was excited to pair her brand new Spendless silver runners with her knee length denim shorts. 

“I was walking past the store on my way to do my weekly shop and I thought, those shoes are a bit wild, why not?!” Donna shared with the Advocate. 

“I was close to getting the leopard print ones but I didn’t want to get too crazy.” 

After several years of hot flashes and mood swings, Donna’s husband, James, was relieved to see his wife embracing the fun again. 

“I just hope she stops playing around with the damn top sheet, it’s on, then off, then on again, then on the floor, then smothered of my face for some reason (?), then back off again.”

Donna’s 19 year old son, Adrian hasn’t noticed a change in his mother in his entire life. 

“Isn’t menopause when feminists try to silence male opinions?” Adrian genuinely asked our reporter. 

“Mum’s been chill, I don’t know, I’m usually in my room.” 

But the fun doesn’t end with metallic sneakers, Donna has bigger plans to embrace this next exciting chapter of life. 

“It’s either a month long cycling trip around Vietnam or we’re going to section off a few rooms of the house and start selling it off as an air bnb” Donna told our reporter.

“I was thinking of getting a pixie cut but I’m not quite there yet.” 

More to come.
