Sharon Stone wants you to see her pert, youthful boobies

Do you like this story?

On my 50th birthday, I would very much like to flash my boobs on the cover of a magazine while wearing a bondage outfit. You? Sharon Stone heartily endorses this sentiment. Which is why she's done exactly that on the cover of Paris Match.

Here are the rest of the shots:

sharon3 Sharon Stone wants you to see her pert, youthful boobies sharon5 Sharon Stone wants you to see her pert, youthful boobies

I am a little baffled by this, I have to say. First of all: WHY? Secondly: WHY? And also: WHY?

Madonna – also 50 – posed for similarly sexy shots (with her boobs tucked away - see them here) around her birthday so maybe it's a thing where you have to aggressively fight against the stereotype of being past your sexual prime as a woman by BEING REALLY REALLY SEXY. And showing your boobs.

I find it a little sad, frankly. Actually more than sad. It makes me uncomfortable. I'm all for women being sexy at whatever age. But why is there just this one form of put-it-all-out-there sexy that applies to women aged 16-50? Why aren't there some other forms of more…..dignified, age-appropriate sexy?

In the accompanying interview, Sharon says: "What these photos represent is nothing surprising to me, my life didn't change at 50, I didn't change. I don't see where the provocation is. Is there an age when you're supposed to refrain from doing some things like showing your body? If someone is shocked by these photos that's a reflection on his own views on age."

Maybe Sharon is right. Maybe it's my problem, not hers. But there just feels something so….desperate about these shots. Something that makes me want to look away. Digging a bit deeper, I think it also challenges my view about being a mother. And I'm going to put it out there and say that as a mother of young boys (3 of them), surely that's a bit screwed up to pose for those kinds of shots? I feel the same way about Pammy sometimes.

I'm not saying you can't be a mother and sexy – d'uh, of course you can – but I can't help but feel it must be very confusing for those boys to grow up surrounded by sexual images of their mother. Their MOTHER.

Am I having an old fart moment, people? Am I? Or is this just 99 shades of wrong?

    It’s probably a prudent marketing move. After all, Stone did make her name flashing her privates in Basic Instinct.

    On some level you think it’s ‘wrong’, but not so wrong that you felt uncomfortable repeating the image on this page. That’s interesting, and something worth further thought.

    funnily enough, we were cooler wiht the idea of nudity in the 70s. Something strange has happened to Aus culture.

    I don’t appreciate nudity so I wouldn’t buy the mag. Lame.

    I thought she was a 24 year old. What I find disgusting is not that a fifty year old would do this, but that magazines will only publish photos of a naked 50 year old if she happens to look like a 23 year old. Show me a naked photo of Therese Rein on the cover of a mag that is all about celebrating diversity of women’s shapes and sizes and I’ll celebrate!

    Oh, she looks totally amazing. Get over it. Aussies have a problem with nudity anyway. It’s a French mag, and Europeans are okay with nudity because they seem to think a bit bigger than the typical Oz, and Sharon Stone is HOT!! Probably best to just deal with it. She’s got great breasts, great legs, a beautiful face and that’s what she is known for. Being beautiful and bold. I think it’s wonderful and the shots are actually beautiful. And she’s 50! Good on her. I’ve breast fed for three years, and I’m happy with my boobs, and I’d bloody hope they look that good in another twenty years. If some people can’t look, I can’t help looking!! She looks AWESOME!! Her legs in those boots are just awesome!! But then I like strong women. And I like Sharon Stone. So hey. Whatever. The only 99 shades of wrong around here are the judgemental, conservative, stay-in-the-box-you-BAD-WOMAN!!, How-dare-you-be-sexy-just-because-I’m-not-comfortable-about-sexuality attitudes. We all have our strengths and Sharon is just happy with hers, and flaunting it. Why shouldn’t she?

    Typical american garbage. She is saying look at me Im 50 but have the body of a 20something. But it is obviously photshopped, fake breasts, botox etc. She looks nothing like this in life, which is the problem with these photos.
