Real Girls Don’t Walk: We Strut (With a Runway Song, Obviously)

Because confidence isn’t quiet and neither are we.

What’s a runway song, you ask? Oh honey. It’s that one track that hits your ears and everything changes. Your spine straightens. Your boobs perk up like they remembered who they used to be. Your strut turns into a full-blown power march. Suddenly, you’re not just walking into the grocery store, you’re making a grand entrance in aisle five like you’re wearing couture and not yesterday’s leggings.

It’s fun. It’s flirty. It’s full-body swagger. And yes, you can…and should…have one at any age. This is not reserved for 22-year-olds on TikTok. This is for us: women juggling work, hormones, group texts, and everyone else’s drama. We don’t just need entrance energy, we command it.

My runway song? Lady Gaga’s “Applause.”
Because sometimes I need to remind the world (and myself) that I’m still a damn showstopper, even with a rogue chin hair and a to-do list longer than a tax audit.

A friend’s? Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass.”
Because nothing says “brace yourself, bitches” like walking into a boardroom with a bass drop fierce enough to blow the power grid.

These songs aren’t just hype tracks. They’re armor. You cue them up when you’re about to:

• Wrangle three semi-grown feral kids into basic hygiene without triggering a meltdown (yours or theirs).

• Walk into a high-stakes exec meeting that’s already a dumpster fire.

• Show up solo to a dinner party where everyone’s coupled off and annoying.

• Go to the gyno and pretend you're chill about it.

• Try on jeans in fluorescent lighting.

• Reopen the dating apps without throwing your phone across the room.

Your runway song is your secret weapon. It reminds you that you are that woman - even if you’re running on fumes, frayed nerves, and the audacity to keep showing up.

Now it’s your turn! Drop your runway song in the comments or hit reply if you’re shy. Subscribe for more real talk, wild honesty, and midlife magic at realgirlsguide55.com. Pass this to the boldest five in your circle. You know the ones.

And remember: strut like your thighs aren’t chafing. (Even if they are.)
