81-year-old Martha Stewart joins surf stars Anastasia Ashley, Malia Manuel, Caroline Marks as Sports Illustrated swimsuit pin-up!

Age but a number.

Few honors are as great, maybe, than that of gracing the cover and/or centerfold of the Sports Illustrated annual swimsuit edition. Oh women posing scantily clad may seem antiquated but it is also empowering, I think, and many surf stars have been empowered during the course of the magazine’s fifty-plus year run. Notables include Anastasia Ashley, Malia Manuel, Caroline Marks and Kelly Slater.

Well, the 81-year-old Martha Stewart has officially joined their ranks becoming the most senior person ever and wow.

“When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think ever on a cover of Sports Illustrated.’ And I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic.”

Historic is right.

Though lest you think the lifestyle guru and ex-con is merely a pretty face, Stewart is also an avid waterwoman being trained by none other than “King of the Sea” Laird Hamilton.

Back to Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition, though, which current crop of professional surfers would you like to see included?

Felipe Toledo?

Good choice.

You greenies are a big farce.
The earth will be here long after the human race has died off.

No 1 looks like that at 81 unless there taking Andronacrom or little children’s blood .

Sean Connery

I love drinking on an empty stomach!

Kasandra Mann

Martha Stewart’s legs in that pic look like a Paraplegic. Is that pic photo shopped or did Martha suffer some heinous accident I was not aware of?

DK…insert ad or adjacent commercials here…fluffers needed~

Martha: “Trump grabbed me VP.” (abonomously sourced) “Laird hamjerkey saved me…don’t eat ti leaves…fuck me, I’m 96.” Case closed. (Durham)

Sellme fitzgobbins

Never thought I’d be jerking off to Martha Stewart! Back in 5 minutes

Pyzel's Ghost

Bang bang…

Capt Sensible

You know what I’d rather see Martha than those midget brats in the gbangers like TWB.

Ricky Spanish

Is this one of those “brave” Photo-shoots?

Mochillupo

Suprised Jessi Miley-Dwyer isn’t kicking stones not gettimg the cover ?

Fig Jam

It would have to be a wrap around cover including a fold out

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

DR, how many times have you pleasured yourself to that cover already?

East of the 5

If I had like half dozen dick pills, an eight ball, 3 Adderalls, and 8 Vodka Redbulls in me I probably would. I remember from Sex Ed back in hight school that older girls don’t get pregnant.

Sean Connery

My recommendation is start with the 8 Vodka Redbulls. Hopefully she will be gone by the time your black out wears off.

tim_nelsen

even sober, i’d fall like eddie murphy, hugh grant, and boy george over this transformer. dude is also a SI pin-up.

Pyzel's Ghost

So, in other words, a 6 of Pabst and a joint is all it will take for you to fall balls deep?

East of the 5

Probably like a 3 pack to be honest. I am old and don’t get out much anymore.

Current no one but otherwise Malia Manuel (again)

Hippy

For 3 years, I was commissioned to do photo editorials for Martha’s magazine and fledgling magazine about babies. Mostly dealt with a team of NY stylists, but on two occasions, Martha was on set herself.

The tension was thick as fog, but not for the stylists and I was shaded under their “umbrella”. She seemed amused by surfboards too. I think she smelled fear and resented being feared without provocation, just my guess, because she was very respectful of my presence and as long as I kept her main art director happy, I was good.

Over the years, I’ve found people who fed of fear and people that resented being feared. I tend to resent people who hesitate, or calculate. If you know what you are doing, do it.

One year I was working in a penthouse at Chateau Marmont and the client was spotted in the lobby about to elevator to her suite. My cart was loaded, I was out of there when the call came in and her entire staff panicked, “she’s here!!!!”.

Imagine always sensing panic?

SI is going for the diversity angle, a little celeb spicing is just icing on the cake. Token fat women, now old.

Might as well tick all the boxes at once. An old fat black women in a wheelchair.
