I’m not sure how I feel about this. I definitely applaud her bravery, she is still a beautiful woman. I’m just not sure of the target audience on this one.

I agree. Like I said… she is a beautiful woman. Just never thought I would see an 81 yo on the cover of the swimsuit edition.

She is 81?!? Looks great for that age IMO. Must have been those hardcore prison workouts.

It is called money and photoshop.
She does look great for her age though.

I was thinking caviar on toast points may be just the fountain of youth.

I don’t believe SI is using the swimsuit issue for profit anymore. The last few years the publication seems like more of a PR stunt for a dying print industry. (Not to get all PWI in here)
I mean hey, good for her. I just hope I am still kicking at 81.

Not sure I am hoping for this.
Well if my body is like not one big ball of pain - I would be okay with it.

How are 12-year-olds supposed to spank it to their grandmother?

I’ve watched her when she judged on Food Network shows, all made up for TV, and that cover photo is…not truthful.

I initially thought “you go girl!” But the more I’ve thought about it, the more disgusted I’ve become. Because seriously? We’re now supposed to be making like sex kittens at age 80? The bizarre giant jacket on top of the pro airbrushing and photo manipulation leave the casual viewer thinking they’ve seen a hot (ish) 81-year-old, when what they’ve seen is a small, deceptive slice of her.
It bothers me. When does it stop for women, the impossible standard established by falsified photos?

This! It’s just unrealistic. But, I guess if you have enough money anything is possible.
That’s what I learned from Batman!
And Ironman!

… wait a second…
Batman. Ironman.
Batman=Ironman.
They’re basically the same characters!
This is revolutionary for me.
Edit: I guess thats my confession. I’m picking up on these things sloooowly.

I always summed up Batman as “Someone murders Richie Rich’s parents so he learns karate”. It upsets his fans, which is my goal.

I’m here to confess that I had a lot of special adventures with the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition back when I was a teenager.
What’s an eighth grader supposed to do nowadays except take a step back to National Geographic or the Sears Catalog?

Can’t even do that. Sears is no more.
