Not a good look, Toni. The 43-year-old Ms. Braxton took to Twitter this week to ask her fans what they thought about her heavily considering stripping off her clothes and doing Playboy. She's been offered the opportunity twice before, and maybe the third time will be the charm.
Toni says she will keep it tasteful (don't they all say this?) if she says yes, and she also wants to pose with Hugh Hefner himself. According to Black Voices:
Having recently filed for bankruptcy, perhaps Braxton is trying to use her physical assets to recoup some of her financial losses. She certainly wouldn't be the first. In October, the 43-year-old singer filed for bankruptcy for the second time in her career. According to court documents, Braxton states that she is worth between $1 million and $10 million, with debts of up to $50 million.
After what were likely concerned responses from her followers, Braxton told them that the photos would be tasteful (just a little T & A she added). She also tweeted that she'd like to pose with Hugh Hefner and proclaimed him the sexiest man over 30. Hef is likely hoping that the third time is the charm, since Toni claims she's been approached to pose for the mag twice before. Perhaps the timing is right since the spread might help the the public focus on something other than her financial woes and the lackluster sales of her most recent album, 'Pulse.' It will likely spur interest in her new reality show as well.
Good luck with that.
