My first thought was, well, when I was 25 ish, it was a sin to have saggy breast. Boobs had to have zero droop. Now all the celebrities have them hanging down in their braless attire they wear now a days.
I think it is a little silly, but more power to her to be confident do pose in a swimsuit. I know I couldn't!

If they hadn't told me I wouldn't of known she was in a swimsuit.
ETA: I hadn't clicked the link and the picture up top was cut off at her waist to look like a shirt and jacket to me.

I really want to know the name of her plastic surgeon. I'd consider it if I could look that good. There has to be some air brushing, but I've seen videos and other photos and she really does look like she's in her 50s.

She denies filters or medical intervention.
These photos are absolutely lovely and she looks better at 81 than I did at 15.

She looks amazing, but I still think the whole thing is a little silly.

Whats silly about it? Sure, I'm sure she's airbrushed here and there but I think she looks really good (and I am the furthest thing from a Martha Stewart fan!)

Love it!! Women should feel empowered and comfortable at any age! Note to self, “It’s okay that I don’t look the same way in my bathing suit as I did just a few short years ago.”

I don't think it's silly at all. I admire her for the confidence it takes to be on that cover.

Good for her! I love seeing normal bodies of all ages and shapes. That is not a "normal" 81 year old body. Good for her for doing it, but let's not pretend that average 81 year olds look like that. |

She looks fabulous, and good for her for being brave enough to appear on the cover of the swimsuit issue. Also good for SI (something I never say) for being willing to feature an 81yo woman on the cover.
Nothing silly about it.

My response when I saw this earlier? F*ck yes! That is not a "normal" 81 year old body. Maybe not, but the bodies in the magazine have never been “normal.” At least this way we get some variety, and I’ll take whatever baby steps I can. |

No, it's not. I was simply referring to the saggy boobs, average skin discoloration, and belly pooch. They are not advertising her age and I wouldn't have had any idea how old she was without this thread. I just think it's great to see someone on the cover that has a body that is more like how other people's bodies look.  |

It's fine and all but I'd look good in that too. It's hardly a "swimsuit" shot! I wouldn't really call that "brave".
She's an excellent model for taking care of yourself and staying active though.

Let’s appreciate this and celebrate normalizing a woman’s body, especially from a magazine that has not had a history of doing that. |

I should have said 40 years ago, it was a mortal sin to have saggy breasts. It was an unfair expectation from the male world. |

She said she quit eating bread and pasta for a few months and did pilates every other day. Good for her! I have always liked Martha for several reasons, but I do like that she said yes when she was asked to do the cover. Why not? Is it different? Yes, but it isn't bad. Just maybe not what we were expecting. |

I totally get what you are saying. I remember being 23 and the best shape imaginable during active duty military service, (but I literally compared myself to Katie Holmes as an airbrushed model) and doing the pencil test. To make sure that my breasts didn't have enough sag to hold up a PENCIL when placed under them. And they barely did.... And I felt so.... gross. I HATE THIS. Seriously? And this Martha face? In her 80's. Ok. |

Yes, I think it's fabulous!
I actually like some of the other photos better than the cover itself.
