And now, in what some might think is da ultimate act of courage, Ms. Stewart going be on one of da four covers of the famous Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which drops on May 15. 🏖️📅

She not the first woman over 60 fo’ be on the cover. At 74, Maye Musk claimed that honor. But Ms. Stewart might be the most happily candid participant in what looks like Sports Illustrated’s attempt to stir up controversy and stay relevant. 📚👓

Her experience was one new thing and also one test of courage, Ms. Stewart said, her voice sounding warm and husky over the phone. In one interview, she talked story about flirting, Madonna, how she got her sexual confidence, and more. 🎙️💬

What gave her the courage fo’ pose? Well, this was a big challenge. She had to make sure she was ready to pose in a bathing suit. It took a bit of vanity but also a bit of confidence. She thought, “If I feel good enough physically and mentally to do this, I’m up for it.” 🤔💪

Did it take a lot of prep work? Well, she still healthy, her hair is nice, and her skin is good. As for filters, forget it. She keeps her facial appointments with Mario Badescu. She done that once a month religiously for 40-something years. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️

And her body? She had two months, basically, to make sure she felt good about the way she look. If she thought her waist was too big, or that she was too wobbly, she wouldn’t have done it. But after working out with Pilates three times a week, she thought she could. Also, she went to the tanning booth and had a very light spray tan, something she never do before. 🏋️‍♀️🔆

Was there physical challenges during the shoot? She had to wear nine different bathing suits. All these people were poking and talking about “the girls.” She never call her breasts “the girls” in her life. She no like that kind stuff. The whole time, these people were nudging, “Poke this out, push that in.” She had to put up with that for eight hours. But still, they were shooting in the Dominican Republic and she had one really good time. 👙🏝️

How she come by the sexual confidence to pull off a move like this? It doesn’t have as much to do with blatant sex as with a self-assurance that started when she was a keiki. So, when the offer came, she thought, “I can do this. I don’t have to give in to convention.” How else would she, as an 81-year-old, have talked herself into feeling good about getting into a bathing suit? 🤷‍♀️💁‍♀️

There are people who find nothing quite as steamy as her competence at work. What she make of that? She just returned from four and a half hours at Breads Bakery in Union Square. She had to bake a challah in the shape of a crown, something she never done before. When she finished, that bread looked better than the baker’s version. But she a teacher and kind of an artist. 🍞👑

An artist who makes kneading dough look sexy? She pride herself on being able to show you physically as well as verbally how to do things. 👩‍🍳😉

Do she flirt? Oh, do she. Of course she do. She not shy. She find certain men very attractive. If she at a social event, she will make sure that she talk to those very attractive men. 💃🕺

About a year ago she joked with Chelsea Handler that while she’s no home-wrecker, she is waiting for friends to die so she can swoop down on their husbands. Do she stand by that? She don’t take it back. But, well … the husbands do tend to go first. And, really, she prefer younger men. 😂👨

Is she posing in a swimsuit to counter an image that once seemed stiff, even downright intimidating? Is she rebranding? No, this is part of her ongoing self-creation — she call it education. One of her mottos for many years has been, when you’re through changing, you’re through. 🔄🏊‍♀️

She seem to share that conviction with Madonna. Yet when Madonna, who is 64, turned up at the Grammys in February with her face showing signs of a cosmetic procedure, she caught a lot of flak. So far, she has not. She would never compare herself to someone like Madonna. She is a talent like no other. But as a performer she needs to keep reinventing herself. And it’s much more difficult for her to alter herself without altering her face. She don’t want to do that. 🎤💄

But there’s another very big difference between her and Madonna: She is wearing pointy bras and weird clothes. She teaching you how to roll dough. 🍩👚

Martha Stewart is continuing to make her mark — this time on the cover of the 2023 SI Swimsuit issue! See her like never before here https://t.co/BcQZcV7R6j

🏖️👙 Martha Stewart, 81, Shines as Cover Star of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

At 81, Martha Stewart is a star on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This domestic diva is opening up about letting go of her inhibitions and shedding most of her clothes for the cover shoot. 📸👵

Regardless of how you choose to define Martha Stewart, she defies labels. She’s a homemaker and lifestyle guru, a TV personality, a publisher, and a savvy businesswoman who even managed to rebuild her reputation after becoming a white-collar criminal. She’s also Snoop Dogg’s unlikely BFF. She deftly handles these various roles as if she’s juggling them. 🎪🃏

She’s never appreciated being typecast or maligned. However, Ms. Stewart has persisted and thrived, not as a Superwoman, but as an Everywoman. Now, at 81, she’s ready to shed that label too, trading her “domestic goddess” persona for a more fiery image: badass Martha, a seductress who seems to drop her inhibitions as effortlessly as she shucks an ear of corn. 🌽💃

Recently, Ms. Stewart has been teasing her four million Instagram followers with playful and sultry, partially nude photos of herself. She promoted her partnership with Green Mountain Coffee by wearing an apron, halter-style, over what appeared to be nothing at all. She stirred excitement among her followers, posing provocatively by her pool, and followed that with a cheeky throwback to her 1996 Spy magazine cover where she was suggestively posed on a seashell, hugging her knees to her chest to maintain her modesty. 📱💋

Now, in what some might see as the ultimate act of bravery, Ms. Stewart is set to be on one of the four covers of the famous Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which is due to be released on May 15th. 🏖️📅

She’s not the first woman over 60 to grace the cover. That honor goes to Maye Musk at 74. But Ms. Stewart might be the most candidly joyful participant in what appears to be Sports Illustrated’s attempt to provoke debate and stay relevant. 📚👓

Her involvement was a new experience and a test of courage, Ms. Stewart shared, her voice warm and husky over the phone. In an interview, she discussed flirting, Madonna, her sexual confidence, and more. 🎙️💬

What gave her the courage to pose? Well, it was a substantial challenge. She had to ensure she was ready to pose in a bathing suit. It took a measure of vanity but also self-assurance. She thought, “If I feel physically and mentally up to this, I’m game.” 🤔💪

Did it require a lot of preparation? Well, she’s in good health, her hair looks great, and her skin is in good condition. As for filters, she doesn’t need them. She has kept up her regular facial appointments with Mario Badescu. She’s done that once a month, religiously, for over 40 years. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️

And her body? She had two months to ensure she felt good about her appearance. If she thought her waist was too large or she was too flabby, she wouldn’t have done it. But after working out with Pilates three times a week, she felt she could. She even got a very light spray tan, something she had never done before. 🏋️

During the shoot, she had to wear nine different bathing suits. All these people were fussing and talking about “the girls.” She had never referred to her breasts as “the girls” in her life. She didn’t appreciate that kind of talk. Throughout the entire process, people were making adjustments, telling her to “poke this out, push that in.” She endured this for eight hours. Yet, they were shooting in the Dominican Republic, and she had a fantastic time. 👙🏝️

How did she manage to muster the sexual confidence to pull off a move like this? It has less to do with overt sexuality and more to do with a self-assuredness that began in her childhood. So, when the opportunity arose, she thought, “I can do this. I don’t have to conform to convention.” How else would she, at 81, convince herself to feel good about donning a swimsuit? 🤷‍♀️💁‍♀️

People often find her workplace competence incredibly attractive. What does she think about that? She just returned from a four and a half hour stint at Breads Bakery in Union Square. She had to bake a challah in the shape of a crown, something she had never done before. When she finished, her bread looked better than the baker’s version. But she’s a teacher and somewhat of an artist. 🍞👑

An artist who makes kneading dough look sexy? She prides herself on being able to demonstrate, both physically and verbally, how to do things. 👩‍🍳😉

Does she flirt? Oh, yes. She’s not shy. She finds certain men very attractive. If she’s at a social event, she’ll make sure she talks to those particularly attractive men. 💃🕺

About a year ago, she joked with Chelsea Handler that while she’s not a home-wrecker, she’s waiting for friends to pass so she can swoop in on their husbands. Does she still stand by that? She doesn’t retract it. But, well … the husbands do tend to go first. And, truth be told, she prefers younger men. 😂👨

Is she posing in a swimsuit to counter an image that once seemed rigid, even downright intimidating? Is she rebranding? No, this is part of her ongoing evolution — she calls it education. One of her long-held beliefs is, when you’re through changing, you’re through. 🔄🏊‍♀️

She seems to share that conviction with Madonna. Yet when Madonna, who is 64, showed up at the Grammys in February with her face showing signs of a cosmetic procedure, she received a lot of criticism. So far, she has not. She would never compare herself to someone like Madonna. She is a talent like no other. But as a performer, she needs to continually reinvent herself. And it’s much harder for her to change without altering her face. She doesn’t want to do that. 🎤💄

But there’s another significant difference between her and Madonna: Madonna is known for wearing pointy bras and eccentric clothing. She, on the other hand, teaches you how to roll dough. 🍩👚
