And here we are. Cash-strapped Toni Braxton, hours after the announcement of a new reality show "Braxton Family Values" on We TV debuting in April, declares she's mulling a potential "tasteful" cover and spread in Playboy via twitter. And perhaps, to the loud, collective, disappointed groan of the hetero malesphere (and femalesphere, excuse our manners ladies), intimates it will be "just be a lil T and A."
While the trend is nothing new, it is becoming quite the common event in the run-up to the launch of a project by female Pop and R&B artists for them to flaunt more than a bit of flesh to generate wildfire buzz. In Miss Mari's case, a mixtape hosted by DJ Whoo Kid. We are only left to wonder what she will do when her next album drops. Will she streak across the BET Awards stage?
And we are quite confident there are promotional teams out there discussing this very idea right now. What kind of footwear, reeboks or nikes to avoid slippage... or shoot... maybe short heels, to generate a media coup of a slip and fall. And in the silence of contemplation an intern blurts, "How do we get Nicki's mouth on *artist's name witheld* cleavage at the Grammys?"
In the meantime ladies, we'd love to hear some slamming music.
