Beautiful Bassett Named Sexiest Mature Diva

While Halle Berry may be the “Sexiest Black Woman Alive,” it is not her but the beautiful and under-appreciated Angela Bassett who is sitting at the top spot of a new poll measuring ultra-sexiness.

The Oscar-nominated actress was named the Sexiest Black Woman Over Forty by Blackvoices.com. As the site states, “older women had been automatically shut out of the field of being considered attractive, one of the most sexist ideas of all. The old perception that a woman over 40 is not as attractive as a woman under 30 has now changed forever.”

The women on this list helped break down the age barrier by taking care of themselves, creating their own power in the world and staying sexy to the public and themselves. An older woman knows what she wants, she has something to teach and she keeps herself looking so good that she makes young boys cry. The women on this list are beautiful, smart, stylish and accomplished. May they ripen lusciously for many years to come, showing the young girls how it’s done.

After looking at the list, we have a couple of observations. First and foremost, congratulations to an actress that doesn’t get nearly enough credit for her beauty and acting in the presence of the regal Bassett. Also, there is no way that Victoria Rowell and Iman should be at the bottom of this list. In addition, Jennifer Beals is too low and Elise Neal is much too high.

Debate about it among yourselves!
