Brandefine says of his grandmother, “That’s all the big stars she has following her…To me it’s crazy seeing her just sit there like, ‘Yeah Jose Canseco’s reading me, Rihanna’s reading me.’ She thinks she’s a big shot over here!” the folks over at Mashable have said that Lamberti represents the #OLDladySWAG to a tee and old J-Dimps said,” I’m really cool, stylish. Funny, that’s about it. I really don’t act my age. Now I dance to Rihanna music. I don’t do the lindy or things like that no more.” As for which Twitter users the 80-year old but still young at heart Lamberti follows, she says, “If they make me laugh, I’ll follow them back.” If you are planning on helping the adorable J-Dimps out with her wish, head on over to her Twitter account and give her that birthday wish she deserves.
