I just Pray that when I am 40 I look half as Good!! Big up to the Ladies, I dont see any room for hate These women prove to be at their best either in a business suit or Bathing Suit WHO Really Can Hate????

They are two older women who look very good for their age. But what they are portrying is not the behavior of a lady.

They both don't look a day over 40...

Ya'll need to stop hating on these ladies cause you know damn well if you had the body and the opportunity you'd be right on that cover too ass out and all. This is how they get paid and have been getting paid for years. they ain't gonna go start flipping burgers just because ya'll think they are too old or distinguished to still be posing. They are KILLING it!

I STILL cant believe S.Dash 42. She looks great, as does my gurl Lisa Raye. Dam-I definelty need 2 step my game up and sex my frame up!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-n e 1 else NOT interested? Please stop hating and let Lisa Raye do her thang. DAMN

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-n e 1 else NOT interested? Please stop hating and let Lisa Raye do her thang. DAMN [quote comment="71696"]Can I just deal with something that annoys me every time Americans refer to LisaRaye as the 'First Lady' of the Turks and Caicos islands? She's not. Under the Westminster system of government that most English-speaking Caribbean islands operate under, there is no such thing as a 'First Lady' - it is an entirely American concept. Moreover, TCI is STILL A COLONY. It's not even a sovereign nation - it's not independent. It's a British posession- like Puerto Rico or USVI to the US, but even less independent. Which makes the whole 'First Lady' thing even more silly cos Premier Misick is not a proper leader of a nation. Anyhoo...she's still killing it- even if that pic is 4 years old, that means she looked that way at 37. *applause*. Btw...I have to echo the comment of the previous poster - the story about her husband being accused of sexual assault is all over the Caribbean. You can check it at Caribbean360.[/quote]

Im female, and ladies we MUSt give credit where credit is due and Stacy Dash reigns supreme! Stacy is killing the game!! She's an actress that is definitely overlooked!!!! She looks fantastic! As well as Kenya Moore, she is a beautiful, black woman. Again, over-looked!!! Forget Lisa Raye-looks like a "strper", Vivica, sorry to much work done, Beyonce=no body, no persoanlity, and wayyyyyyy over-rated, forget Ciara=boring,average JOe-Shmo. As ladies we definitely should recognize the woman that I mentioned above and give them the attention they deserve!!!!

[quote comment="71327"]I think both shots are classy. They are giving EVERYONE a run for their money :-)[/quote] How is having half you azz hanging out classy? I think they look good, but let's not insult "class" by saying these cover shots are classy. Also, I wonder how LisaRaye's husband feels about the first lady being on blast on the front of the magazine. Lastly, I was at the gym this morning, but uh... I'll never look like either of them without surgery. I gotta more Aaliyah, Ciara kinda thing going on over here. :)

D*mn, thanks Natasha (as I put down my bag of chips). They a both KILLING it! D*mn what everyone is saying about it's not classy blah blah blah...the fact of the matter is that the men who are picking up these magazine definitively aren't thinking about that. So, keeping that in mind, no one can deny that they look great, not just for 40, but that they look great...period.

These chicks at 40 are KILLIN IT!!!! I am 28 with 2 children and I am getting a gym membership ASAP!!!! Makes no sense, WORK IT MAMAS!

Wait til I'm their ages. Yeah they look like that because they have trainers and stylist helping them out and airbrushing. They are regular without the makeup like you and me. You probably wouldn't know who they were if they were walking down the street.

Smooth is so lazy...this is the same stacy pic they used on the cover in '04 and the lisa raye pic is old too. Must be hard times over there. But the ladies look hot no doubt!

They look great but this type of publicity is so unnecessary... Lisa Raye is the First Lady of one of the Islands for crying out loud!!![/quote] Why can't you be a woman about your business and sexy also? A First Lady can't be seen as sexy? A female CEO can't be sexy? I don't find these pics offensive. She's in a bathing suit for crying out loud. I guess she shouldn't go to the beach then.[/quote] she's being objectified as a woman in the picture, a little more than just sexy and it's not like it's a fashion shot on W, it's on Smooth which speaks for itself. she looks good in the pic no doubt, but Michelle Obama wouldn't take such a pic, let alone for Smooth, that's all.[/quote] Shut Up!!! Its NOT that serious!!!! Objectified PLEASE!!![/quote] Umm, i'm not going to "shut up." That was a rude suggestion i might add. The commentor was saying that it's not first lady like-b/c lisa raye's not just our Diamond anymore. While I doubt her husband gives a fart, if you think her Smooth pictorial is first lady-like, well that just speaks volumes about your intellect.[/quote] It's sad when all people can say is "shut up" in order to speak on jow they feel. She represents a whole island and the picture is sexy but beyond tasteless for a woman in her position. In order for a small island to be taken with some type of self worth they must present themselves in that manner. The only thing missing from her picture is a pole. We are not hateing either babies.............she looks great, but that's not the point for th epeople who just can't get it. She is a first lady, and she must carry herself in that manner, but look at what she was doing before, you can't make a woman classy by marrying her. Stacy! she looks great, the reason she has no career is because she always focused on her looks.[/quote] The pictures are OLD!!! B4 she was 1st lady. We all wish we could wear what hey have on, thats the reason for all the insulting! Saying "SHUT UP" expresses how low a person feels??? Wow new one to me.....[/quote] Oh, duh! they are old......ooops............ It's straight, but this just shows how you should think hard before you do something that can come back and slap you in your face. she looks fly though! "Shut Up" how highschoolish.

"Good Black Don't Crack..." Do It Then Ladies!!!

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP ACTING LIKE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THEIR 20'S THAT MEAN THEY ARE THE ONLY GOOD LOOKING OR SUPPOSE TO BE THE ONLY GOOD LOOKING THING MOVING.I HAVE SEEN MORE YOUNGER FEMALES LOOKING LIKE SHIT SO STOP ACTING SO SURPRISE TO SEE A FEMALE IN HER 40'S LOOKING GOOD WISE UP CHICKS ITS NOT ABOUT AGE ITS YOUR LIFE STYLE AND THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!!

I NEED to go to the gym, like right but.... after i finish thie rice crispy treat!

Both have the light skin, the light eyes, the long hair...what else is new? Where are kinky haired dark mocha skinned beauties,man? I'm offended because I'm hardly ever represented...AND this is a BLACK mens magazine. Love don't love me,people

Ive seen 20 year olds that look older.[/quote] I dont know if you and your family look rough like you've been fallin through trees your whole life, but as far as I can remember my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother all look VERY good for their age since we all take care of ourselves and exercise regularly. So like I said before 40 is the same ole 40, just take care of ya self![/quote] I agree 100% you have to take care of yourself. Also, your lifestyle has alot to do with and genetics. My father's sisters look great and I just so happen to take after him. My friends wish they look like me after two kids, but genes play a major role! I also do alot of walking and eating healthy. On the hand, my mother's side of the family is not so lucky. My cousins look a hot mess. But, I really feel like if they work out and get a job, they would look alot better. They just sat around and eat good (foodstamps) all day and don't work. Hell, no wonder they look old. As women we don't have to be a size 0 to look good, we just have to take care of ourselves and keep our appearance up. I hsve always wanted to say this, Ladies keep your hair done, and worry about the nails later! Because people see your hair and face first, not your hands. First impressions are everything. I can not stand a lady with jacked up hair, but nails done. It just makes no sense!! lol

Though the pictures are old, I am certain that they would have to get permission to use the pictures again... I am positive that if most of you who love these photos saw these two fabulous ladies on the beach closest to you in these "outfits" you would do nothing but applaud them... (yeah, I thought so!!!) Sexy this is not!! More like desperation for some attention... and not the good kind.

Gotta give props to my ladies. Do it then ladies!!! Indeed Young (cuz 40's ARE young), Black, and FAB-U-LOUS!!!

They look great. Kudos to both of them for keeping it up. :)

Hold up! I know we're al looking at the pic's but anybody read the headlines on the mag with Stacy Dash on the cover? "RAY J - TALE OF THE IMFAMOUS SEX TAPE I remember a couple weeks back Natasha had posted about Ray J performing somewhere with no shirt, and even had pics with his MOM and everyone was saying how he's only partly famous because of his sextape, and how he's totally a nobody..... I thought u were haters but seeing this makes me think that maybe he's rode a little too long on the sextape fame cloud...

Don't know about Lisa...being the 1st lady and all...but Stacy can re-do the cover today and probably look even better than she did in this throw-back..
