Happy 70th Birthday Bianca Jagger

Today is the 70th Birthday of Bianca Jagger.  She wore a red off-the-shoulder Halston dress and rode a white horse into Studio 54 at her 30th birthday party.  Why do people even bother to celebrate birthdays after that?  I mean, please.  With all her recent humanitarian work, the world is a better place that she is in it.
