    LisaRaye & Stacy Dash Cover Smooth Magazine

    Stacey Dash (42) and LisaRaye McCoy-Misick (41) are covering the latest Smooth Magazine Hollywood issue. It’s a special double cover throwback collector’s item that’s basically stating the theme 40’s the new 20. The magazine also features Vivica Fox and Kenya Moore. These chicks pretty much just killed the cover game for any other chick who is 18-35. Damn.

      They are hot, especially Stacy Dash. How old is she now about 50 or 55? Dang I hope I look that good when I get that old.

      Everyone looks great! Very happy for them. What goes in the body absolutly shows on the outside. People say they don’t have time to work out and all of those excuses, but Essence magazine does an issue, The Age issue, every year and they show women in there 70’s who look like they are in there 40’s! These are not celebs and they make time…

      I can definitely appreciated our “older” women redefining the aging process. It give the young-heads like me (27 yrs) some hope for the future.

      Stacey’s face n’ hair look gr8! They both look nice, they could look better but that never seems to be Smooth’s goal so it hardly reflects on them. Um, 40 the new 20? So what am I like a toddler now? Myeah…

      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…

      One thing why can’t “King Joffe Joefer” keep his penis on chill til he gets with her. Seriously if he raped that woman I hoped he is stripped of his crown, the petal girls, and the lion-head wrap. Knee-gros

      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.

      Ok, I’m not hating, I repeat I’m not hating…I’m 18 and don’t have a body like those…Once again they look great to be 40 plus, but Stacey Dash has been on a lot of men’s magazines lately, shouldn’t she be auditioning for roles? Lisa Raye - this is not a good look. Aren’t you first lady of a country?! Shouldn’t you have more respect for yourself than this? Don’t you have a whole country full of little girls looking up to you? I mean what other first lady does some ish like this?

      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.

      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.

      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. :)

      I guess some of you didn’t catch it’s the THROWBACK edition of the mag. The pictures are from OLD covers that Lisa and Stacy were on.

      I do agree about Stacy though. She is too old to still be posing on the cover of men’s magazines with her butt hanging out. You can be sexy while still leaving the goodies to the imagination. Leave that to the young talentless girls that feel they have nothing more to offer than flossing their bodies.

      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!!!!

      Doesn’t Lisa raye represent a whole island? Isn’t she something like the first lady, because this isn’t first lady material.She knows that baithing suite was a little too much exposure. We know Lisa got a bad body from back in day, but why does she feel that she needs to display herself in such a manner. Stacy Dash! yes we know she is fine and 42, can we get something else out of her but her butty,breast, and vagina shots. I’m not knocking any of these chicks down because they are a perfect example on how if we stay physically fit we can also be some fine to death grandMa’s, so I aint made at them. I just think they could show it differently!

      A bathing suit? No one in real life would wear that to the beach. It’s a piece of cloth. A string. Both ladies look good but I do feel it’s unnecessary and gratuitous.

      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.

      They showed Barack Obama down in the islands with trunks on and nothing else (drooling):). Lisa lives on an island for God’s sake. I’m sure people stroll around in much less. If I had a body like that, I’d show it too. I think both ladies are adequately covered.

      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.

      They showed Barack Obama down in the islands with trunks on and nothing else (drooling):). Lisa lives on an island for God’s sake. I’m sure people stroll around in much less. If I had a body like that, I’d show it too. I think both ladies are adequately covered.

      thank you people need to stop hating on lisa raye anybody that had curves like that would be flauting it and at 40 come on now.

      I think Stacy Dash looks amazing. She Janet, Halle Berry, and Lisa Ray are truly representing the 40 and up. I have great company. The only problem I have with any of the photos is Lisa’s. The swimsuit(?) looks a bit yeast infectionish. I mean…she has a killer bod and should be proud of it, but that is a bit over the top for a woman of any age. Just stripper-ish. Both women are gorgeous nonetheless and I just have to work out harder.

      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?

      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.

      Shut Up!!! Its NOT that serious!!!! Objectified PLEASE!!!

      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.

      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.

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

      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!

      Yeah, ok. I doubt you look better than Stacy. if you did I don’t think you would need to tell everyone.

      I don’t think you ghys read the caption. Tasha said this is a THROWBACK edition meaning these pictures are way old. I’m sure they will still give us all a run for our money though if thes pics were current. What I don’t get is if the theme of the magazine if 40 is the new 20, then why would they use old pictures of them? Why not do a classy photo sessin of them now…cause like I said before they would still give us all a run for our money.
