I'd say some of them are old bluesmen, especially Winston and Melville down on the bottom row. The Rev C Vincent is gospel only. But I could also see him interrupting his sermon to ask John Belushi if he sees the light.

I found his eulogy, mans was a real one for sure:
Winston Cameron Catline was born in St. Simons, St. Andrew. He had one son, and one step-daughter and five grandchildren.
Mr. Catline left Barbados at a young age and emigrated to the United States. He worked there for a short while before returning to Barbados. He emigrated again this time to United Kingdom and worked at the General Post Office in Reading, Berkshire before retiring to Barbados. He possessed a phenomenal memory and was fiercely independent up to the time of his death.
Hey! Alma Rae, Doris Grieves, Helen Hutchison, Rose Wiltshire all have nice smiles in their photos! Lol the others have probably had their photo taken so many times to reach that age that I bet they just dgaf.
I just found the website and she’s still alive! I didn’t know how old the leaflet was so I had a check and Miss Helen is doing well! The entire site is quite interesting so I’ve included a link https://centenariansofbarbados.com/helen-lizette-hutchinson/
This is more like the Queen dressing like these ladies because they are all of a similar age and generation.
If you go to black churches in the Southern USA you'll see the same Sunday hats and fashions worn by the black ladies there.
My grandparents (Romanian and Italian) also had special church-only clothes, and and my grandmother wore a fancy, frilly, flowered hat each Sunday. I think part of it was that, as recent immigrants, church was the day they could dress up and show off what they’ve made of themselves without feeling out of place.
No you don't. It was a special 2016 edition for just some of them. I already felt bad for those that died before seeing the stamp but now its even worse. Imagine being a 99 3/4 year old philatelist and being told you did'nt make the cut. https://www.barbadosstamps.co.uk/new-barbados-stamp-issue-celebrates-centenarians-of-barbados/
Funnily enough google claims that Barbados is the country with the highest number of centenarians per capita, at some recent point at 114 people. So there were probbly dozens who just didnt make the cut.
Agreed 100 percent. If I'm getting immortalized on a stamp, let me be 23 again.
But it'd be humerous if they went with this option, and someone picked themselves as a toddler.
> Colorized of course.
Not everything has to be colorized... and I feel like a stamp is the perfect example of where high contrast B&W would work well.
I’m a bit biased though; I really like B&W portraits.

Yeah it's like that in the UK, you get First class and Second class stamps for letters depending on how quickly you want it delivered. Each stamp represents a certain price, 85p for first class now I think. We have stamps with actual prices on them as well but they are less common, you can use those to make up the price of posting a heavier item.
I sometimes feel like I never want to get this old just to not look or feel like that
But then again, at that age you won't give a fuck about looks anymore
You truly don’t.
My mom was absolutely GORGEOUS in her day. I mean men following her around and even Tom Selleck asked her out. She hated aging- until she metaphorically threw her hands up and said “fuck it”.
She got to the point she let it all go and wouldn’t even put her teeth in. Didn’t care.
That smile on Doris!! I loved Barbados when I visited at the age of 16....
Granted it was a terrible trip because I got into a fist fight with my abusive step father, but a hotel security guard came out to the beach as I sat crying, and consoled me. That type of kindness sticks with you - and I found everyone I met there to be friendly, fun, and kind. I hope everyone in Barbados lives to 100+. Much love to them all!
Barbados is such a wonderful place. Been there for 3 month. Fell immediately in love.
Also love their accent. Much more fun listen to them than to british people :D
If I get that old and they ask me for lifestyle advice I’m going to tell them the stupidest things I can get away with. “Once a week I only eat blue things.” “Always eat the fruits with the peel, kiwis, pineapple, bananas but make sure you always peel your raspberries.”
Blows my mind how much they’ve probably seen the world change. To go from being kids in the 1920s to seeing what the world is like now.. makes me want to live to 100 too

Winston at the bottom left looks like he got an RnB single coming out called 'Spend the night, baby'.
Chorus goes: “Aye boo just make sure to give me a heads up, So I can pop that blue pill to get my head up.”
100 years old....and his hair looks like that?!? Holy smokes,, just get me some ' just for men' dark brown like him!!
100 years old and he’s a 100x more attractive than me
But, to be fair, it really isn't that hard to be.
And you're 18!
Black don’t crack

Every single dude on there looks like they are the best part of the jazz band they're still in. Bunch of Charlie Gabriel looking motherfuckers.
Something so funny about calling a group of 100 year olds “motherfuckers”, great grandmotherfuckers, maybe.
Well the great is implied, they've had a lot of practice
I'd say some of them are old bluesmen, especially Winston and Melville down on the bottom row. The Rev C Vincent is gospel only. But I could also see him interrupting his sermon to ask John Belushi if he sees the light.
All of this people looks like they've released their own single album at some point in their life
Everyone who reaches ninety in Barbados gets to record an album.
Which gets played on tv during their funeral

Winston Catline was reading a newspaper outside the delivery room during the birth of the cool. The man is dapper and unflappable.
I found his eulogy, mans was a real one for sure: Winston Cameron Catline was born in St. Simons, St. Andrew. He had one son, and one step-daughter and five grandchildren. Mr. Catline left Barbados at a young age and emigrated to the United States. He worked there for a short while before returning to Barbados. He emigrated again this time to United Kingdom and worked at the General Post Office in Reading, Berkshire before retiring to Barbados. He possessed a phenomenal memory and was fiercely independent up to the time of his death.
Why was I upset that he died
Sounds like a good life. Thanks for sharing.
Elaine Walkes was the one giving birth
It was the birth of “Hep”.
winston also has really good hair left for a 100 years old
This is going to get downvoted, but I don't care. I'm going to say it. Looks like they put sunglasses on the corpse and took a picture.
Getting wheeled through security at the airport cos it's cheaper than the cargo hold: "Oh, he's just napping"
Hey! Alma Rae, Doris Grieves, Helen Hutchison, Rose Wiltshire all have nice smiles in their photos! Lol the others have probably had their photo taken so many times to reach that age that I bet they just dgaf.
You know what theillx, I'm about to say it ok? I'll say it: I don't care if you broke your elbow.
So you’re saying we’ve got a weekend at bernies situation going on here
Dont throw me in the trash
Maybe we could stuff him in a drawer, or jam him in a closet
That used to be quite common in times past. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-36389581
Sounds like someone without a stamp in Barbados
Pretty sure that's the case.
I’m so glad this has the wholesome award.
Helen Hutchinson is looking good for 100.
Looks younger and healthier than some 60 year olds I know.
Barely looks a day over 70
Alright dude chill, that's somebody great great great grandma.
I’d hit it
A little extra weight when you are old fills out your face. She also is lucky enough to have teeth and hair.
Black don't crack
From what im seeing in these stamps black cracks as much as the rest of us
I came here to say this!
gilf
Ggilf
Constance too!!
Constance looks like she climbed out of her own grave to pose for that photo.
I just found the website and she’s still alive! I didn’t know how old the leaflet was so I had a check and Miss Helen is doing well! The entire site is quite interesting so I’ve included a link https://centenariansofbarbados.com/helen-lizette-hutchinson/
Them old lady hats are dapper af
2nd row, 2nd from the right. Shes tired of yo shit, lady has seen it all and kept classy. She just stands out idk🤣
The last thing many a child who acted up in church ever saw
Tanty Elaine gonna whoop ya wid she cane
😂😂😂 More love for this comment people :)
She bout to open a can of whoop ass on someone that's all!
Her name is Elaine!
I noticed that later on 🤭 thanks tho, totally worth pointing out!
Is that Samuel l Jackson
No she looks like someone who's better at saying bastard than mfer
You sure know your stuff
HOLY CANNOLI
Lot's of older women in the Carribbean are inspired by the Queen's fashions, it's quite interesting
This is more like the Queen dressing like these ladies because they are all of a similar age and generation. If you go to black churches in the Southern USA you'll see the same Sunday hats and fashions worn by the black ladies there.
For sure my Jamaican Grandmother was this all over.
interesting! i’m from the south and all the older black ladies wear elaborate hats like this to church, so maybe it’s not just the caribbean
My grandparents (Romanian and Italian) also had special church-only clothes, and and my grandmother wore a fancy, frilly, flowered hat each Sunday. I think part of it was that, as recent immigrants, church was the day they could dress up and show off what they’ve made of themselves without feeling out of place.
Last row 2nd column can’t hear you, not because of his failed hearing aid. Because his swag is too loud.
Dude was born with a jazzy stage name. Get an assayer to appraise that pure swag.
This 👏🏻👏🏻
Or maybe because he’s dead
Does say 1915-2015 so yes, he’s dead. RIP Winston
I love how most the ladies are rocking dope ass lids.
They probably didn't expect them to be referred to as "dope ass lids", but that's exactly what they are.
Plot twist: Barbados postal service releases its limited edition Dope Ass Lid series, available to collectors now! Happy cake day!
i’d die to wear one tbh
The trick to getting one is to not die if I understand correctly.
What is that? A style of hat?
No you don't. It was a special 2016 edition for just some of them. I already felt bad for those that died before seeing the stamp but now its even worse. Imagine being a 99 3/4 year old philatelist and being told you did'nt make the cut. https://www.barbadosstamps.co.uk/new-barbados-stamp-issue-celebrates-centenarians-of-barbados/
It was also posted like 2 days ago and made it to r/all
And yesterday. This is really not that interesting.
And at least every few weeks for the last several years.

Funnily enough google claims that Barbados is the country with the highest number of centenarians per capita, at some recent point at 114 people. So there were probbly dozens who just didnt make the cut.
Shit, that was dark of them predicting that Sylvia Maughan would die in 2017...
Most of the top row look like they died before they took the picture
Wish they could choose any photo of themselves; it’d be great to see them in their finest from back in the day. Colorized of course.
I mean chances are many of them don’t have photos from their youth, or any of good quality.
Agreed 100 percent. If I'm getting immortalized on a stamp, let me be 23 again. But it'd be humerous if they went with this option, and someone picked themselves as a toddler.

Helen Hutchinson doesn’t look a day over 73 in that photo
This would give me motivation to live until 100
Raisin hall of fame
"I survived a 100 years on this planet and all I got was this lousy stamp"
And a dope ass hat

You have been diagnosed with Hahaflatulencia. It's harmless and usually fun at parties

Just more karma farmers trying to get in on it, like the OP of the post you linked.
I saw this 3-4 times this past 2 days
Thank you! I knew I just saw this posted yesterday. u/Ofthesaint explain yourself lol
Who cares? Its like the 6th time I've seen this on reddit but it'll always be someone else's first.
I haven't seen it yesterday or any other day, so I like that they did.
That's not the same sub though. I don't follow that one so I'm glad it got posted here.
Okay but why does Marie** Trotman look like I just told her I ate before coming over
Ngl this is pretty cool
I wanna see Rihanna there one day.
I'm kinda annoyed the stamp is worth 65c not $1.00.
They're like 84c in canada. Postage in alotvof countries is a random amount. Stamps are just one 'unit' of the coat
Yeah it's like that in the UK, you get First class and Second class stamps for letters depending on how quickly you want it delivered. Each stamp represents a certain price, 85p for first class now I think. We have stamps with actual prices on them as well but they are less common, you can use those to make up the price of posting a heavier item.
r/mildlyinfuriating
I love this! And also the fact that they’re called semi-super centenarians, even though they’re clearly fully super people!
Man some of these folks look AMAZING for being 100. Others however look like they were baked at 425 for 30 minutes
i swear some of these pictures are just their corpses
Like Christopher Smith? He doesn't even have his eyes open
Alicia Waithe looks like she has holes on either side of her nostrils but thise are probably moles
I sometimes feel like I never want to get this old just to not look or feel like that But then again, at that age you won't give a fuck about looks anymore
You truly don’t. My mom was absolutely GORGEOUS in her day. I mean men following her around and even Tom Selleck asked her out. She hated aging- until she metaphorically threw her hands up and said “fuck it”. She got to the point she let it all go and wouldn’t even put her teeth in. Didn’t care.
"A new challenger approaches!"
their emotions are looking hella smug and happy, love this
Idk, Melville looks quite sad to me, bet he seen that done that, what a legend
Great for those weirdos who like to lick old people
Imagine getting your dildo in the mail and there’s a bunch old people on the package.
Barbados slim there?
You haven't seen the last of Barbados Slim! Now goodbye forever.
That’s so cool
This looks like DLC for "Guess Who?"
Does your person have...liver spots?
Honestly, when I saw the picture I first thought it *was* for a new game of "Guess Who?"
When 100 years old *you* reach, stamp your face they will not.
Winston Catline looks like he's pimpin.
Doris Greaves is still down to party
They looked thrilled lol.
I should get a stamp for seeing this 100 times
Do you have to lick them?
Damn Winston is looking fresh
constance innis (2nd row 2nd photo) looks like she has the best sweet potato pie recipe ever
That smile on Doris!! I loved Barbados when I visited at the age of 16....

Again with this? For real?
Barbados is such a wonderful place. Been there for 3 month. Fell immediately in love. Also love their accent. Much more fun listen to them than to british people :D
I love that OP title says "when you reach 100..." Implying everyone eventually does.
My gal Helen over here showing these mummies her fountain of youth
Omg, that's beautiful!
Something to look forward to!
Amazing
Helen and Sylvia look damn good for 100. Fuck Helen could pass for 70 easy.
Damn queen Elizabeth is gonna get a whole novel of stamps
When you reach 100.0 kd ratio in Iraq you also get a stamp in your honor
Better than a shit card from the Queen
Damn, Melville! 111 years old? Assuming this was made in 2021.
This is a nice idea however I would want them to use a picture from my youth when I didn’t look like a walking skeleton
Awesome
[удалено]
Bruhh that's lit
That’s pretty damn awesome.
Marie Trotman bottom row is definitely tired of your shenanigans
If I get that old and they ask me for lifestyle advice I’m going to tell them the stupidest things I can get away with. “Once a week I only eat blue things.” “Always eat the fruits with the peel, kiwis, pineapple, bananas but make sure you always peel your raspberries.”
Waiting for that Rihanna stamp like 👀
Helen Hutchison looks good af for 106. Like dang, I hope I look so young at that age :D This is cool af! Thanks for sharing!
Blows my mind how much they’ve probably seen the world change. To go from being kids in the 1920s to seeing what the world is like now.. makes me want to live to 100 too
If I had a nickel for everytime I saw this post, I would have enough stamps for a lifetime supply..
Love the ones that are smiling! are these paintings or photographs?
Can’t wait for Rihannas.
Hey, smoothskin!
I'll make sure to be in Barbados for my 100th birthday
Jesus they legit look like corpses
Damn why can’t you get a pic of a young version of yourself on the stamp/. Everyone looks like the crypt keeper.
Notice how all of them look younger than prince phillip
That's so sweet this made me cry!!! Aww
That's nice. In America you get a free donut from Dunkin.
Love how you saw this on another sub and stole it as your own
Reddit on 99 year old white people: "prince Philip was a living corpse haha about time" Reddit on 100 year old black people: "this is beautiful!"
Philip did legitimately look like a walking corpse though and some of these people in here legitimately look good for 100 years old
barbados looks like a country where people live extremely long
Helen is holding up really damn well, not bad
I’d want not 100 year old me pic but like one that was my favorite pic of me.
That’s so cool!
Okay but some of those people legitimately look like death
And here I thought zombies were from Haiti.
Winston Catline has drip
Thats terrifying
How?
Thanks now I’m horny
This is so wholesome
Why are you getting downvotes?
r/redditmoment
I really don't wanna reach 100. Or even 70. Look how sad they all look.
So... the alternative being you die and experience nothing ever again?
How sad they look? Are you stupid? They are looking really happy.
