Totally...and I will be in line to see the end of her career!

BTW, she's just in negotations so hopefully some people that are really concerned about her career will say "stop". All I know is, if she does a song about being naked, she's really fucked career wise. She's got to realize that desperate moves like this don't help poor sales....it's only horny guys (most who won't buy a Toni record anyways) who willl be buying the mag. Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Toni Braxton's career 1992-2006 (on life support since 2002).

Nude in a "tasteful" movie vs. nude in a semi-trashy magizine? Do the math. It hasn't worked for anyone (don't say Madonna or Vanessa...they didn't pose for "Playboy").

DavidEye said:

I liked "Libra" but it was very safe. "Please" (which most people thought was called "Breathe") doesn't reinvigorate a failing career..and neither does titty shots!

Toni Braxrin is very pretty...but she's also insecure as hell!
Loom at the outfits she wears to event, thre carpet, her CD covers, etc.
Most of them are very revealing. A secure woman usually will not wear those type of outfits.

I'd rather see her with Lacey Duvalle, Caramel or Obsession with Lex.

CO-SIGN ON THAT ONE!!1 LOL!!!

CalhounSq said:

yeah. that album was over looked.

1sexymf said:

why does sexy outfits = insecurity?
why cant it be that she wears what she wears because she is so comfy with herself? why cant it be that she actually LIKES the clothes she picks out to wear? a person should be allowed to wear whatever they wanna wear without being labled a slut, ho, insecure etc..

2 things,

1. The Toni Braxton talking to Playboy story is like a year old.

2. Hot or not, Libra is a nice album.

You're right for the most part, but it's worked somewhat for unknowns--Pamela Anderson, Anna Nicole, it helped Cindy Crawford.

CalhounSq said:

They are all black female adult film stars. LittleBLUECorvette obviously prefers girl-on-girl action.

Cuz you don't get the glossy paper?

You can print it out on glossy paper!

Thank you

Nothing's cool about a husband having no problems with his wife posing nude, IMO. Would you be fine with thousands of folks ogling and deconstructing your wife's nude form? E-mailing it about?

He should cherish her enough to tell her to put some clothes on.

Toni is so beautiful, this won't kill her career!! it may not spark any new interest as she hopes. Hey Madonna and Janet have taken thier titty's out and survived and we all know what Chris Rock thought of Janet's tit ! LOL

This is Playboy - what the hell has Playboy ever done for anyone's career, with the possible exception of Vanessa Williams (or was she in Penthouse )? The only celebs that do voluntary spreads (no pun intended) for Playboy these days are totally washed-up. Debbie, Tiffany, Jody - hell, even the blonde chick from Meet The Parents. Toni is joining an illustrious group indeed.

Toni does not need this bullshit because she is beautiful and can actually sing.

1) Great news! She's hot

2) You are Peter! Office Space is by far the most underated and funniest movies of all time

VoicesCarry said:

Excatly. The point has been made....it's not like Toni's career is red hot. If it was 1996, Ok....it isn't! As I said before, her career is on life support (yes, "Libra" was on OK record, so what but noday bought it).

thesexofit said:

Playboy's pretty classy, actually. I wouldn't think less of a woman who posed for Playboy.

Whom said:

Oh for fuck's sake. Some of you act like she's releasing a video of being groupfucked by 50 men.

I don't see posing for Playboy as any different than if she'd posed for a life drawing class.






The Org has a surprising number of prudes.

meow85 said:

That might not be as bad (unless she released it on purpose). The statistics speak for themseleves....this isnt' about being a prude...it's about career suicide and Playboy doesn't save a music career (it's questionable whether it saves any other career).

As for "Playboy" being classy, it's pretend classy. It's a tits and ass magazine that says it likes jazz so people can say they read it for the articles. No one reads "Playboy". Toni would be wiser to go nearly topless in something like Maxim, which is mainstream and not a career killer.

Oh I never heard of them But I heard of Lex Nasty fucker I guess his dick is so big he ain't worried about getting rid of that gut, huh?

For all that are saying her husband should stop this didn't they divorce or am I trippin?

As far as her doing the spread I think her timing is more sad than the actual act. It's not like she's @ the top of her game here - she's a little older, selling fewer wrekkids (despite Libra being a very solid album), less visible overall. It FEELS like a desperate move. I suppose it always is in a sense but hell, I just want better for her.

But let's not kid, she's been doing the near nude shit for years If I had that body I'd be rockin' crazy shit too so I've never held the outfits against her. It's the timing of the photospread that makes it kinda sad...

meow85 said:

co sign.

CalhounSq said:

See? This is exactly what I was talking about in the previous thread I put on here. You don't need to buy Playboy to see what Toni looks like undressed. Here it is for all to see!

VinnyM27 said:

Playboy is classy. It's readership isn't what it used to be, sure. But tonnes of people do read it and it's about as mainstream as it gets.

I read it. The pictures are tasteful -no beaver shots or 3 foot dildoes or other tacky shit like you'd find in most T 'n' A mags, and the articles really are good. I read the mag for both.


As for it being career suicide to pose for Playboy? I'd say it's a sign someone's career is already in the shitter, and not just on it's way there.

meow85 said:

There are beaver shots in Playboy. Usually they're hairless, very plastic-looking vaginas, but beaver shots nonetheless.

VoicesCarry said:

Very rarely.
