A SELF-CONFESSED cougar has hit back at cruel trolls who have told her to stop acting like she's in her twenties.
Alexandra, who is 56, revealed that she is nicknamed 'Aspen Cougar' because she's a mature, older woman who "loves cubbies."
She can regularly be seen on social media flaunting her svelte figure in skimpy bikinis and outfits in a bid to prove that age is just a number.
In a recent video posted to TikTok (@aspencougar), in celebration of her 56th birthday, she responded to some of the negative remarks she's received.
Wearing her long blonde hair loose and wavy, Alexandra can be seen standing up in a hot tub as she rocks a teeny red and gold sequin bikini.
"I wanted to talk about age-shaming and ageism briefly because it's something I started experiencing in my 50s," she begins.

The self-confessed cougar goes on to say how we have science, technology, nutrition, fitness and more knowledge than we've ever had before – adding that ageing is different now to what it used to be.
"I just feel fortunate that I'm still here," she says.
"I have gratitude and I have gratitude that I have more control and choice over how to age."
And it's not the first time a cougar has taken to social media to respond to some of the mean comments they've receive online.
Tiffany Nicole (@tiffnicole143), who isn't afraid to admit her dating pool doesn't always include men her age, posted a video to set her haters straight, letting them know their opinions of her don't matter.
In the clip, the cougar, who donned a pink bandeau bra, and high-waisted jeans, leaned and ruffled the front of her hair.
She let the sound in the video do that talking for her.
"If I was ugly like these people are claiming that I am," the recording said.
