Lala Anthony Graces The Cover Of Latina Magazine.

Four times the charm?
Lala Anthony is sparkling as the cover girl of Latina Magazine’s August 2014 issue, and she must be one of their favorite chicks as it’s her FOURTH time making an appearance on the cover.
Inside, the busy basketball wife, mother,  actress, author, and fashion designer reveals that although she has a lot going on in her life,  she’s thinking about possibly having a another baby.  She also reveals that the ‘good parent’ thing doesn’t come as easy as people think and she had to lean on her mom for advice from time to time.
Peep a few excerpts:

On how her mom helps her be a better parent:
“I always go to my mom for advice. Even when I went through crazy phases in my life, she allowed me to be me and never said
, ‘You shouldn’t be doing that!’ She’d just give me the pros and cons and allowed me to make my own decisions. I hope I am my son’s best friend, and I want him to feel like he can come talk to me about anything—good or bad, because that’s what I used to do with my mom. If they can’t talk to you, that’s when they go to outside influences and they might make wrong choices.
On her perfect night with her family:
My husband, my son and I have the best time when it’s just the three of us. It’s nice to all be together, put a movie on, lie in the bed and laugh. That’s my idea of a perfect, fun time.
On being ready to have another child:
I do start feeling bad because [my son, Kiyan, 7, will] ask about a baby [sibling] and I feel a little selfish. If I did have another child, the reason would be that I wouldn’t want my son to be alone in the world as an only child. But we’ll see.
On her new fashion line, 5th & Mercer:
I know what works on Latinas, black women and curvy women. But it’s great that a website like ShopBop that isn’t used to having that kind of consumer—they’re used to stopping at a six or an eight—to push them to go up to a fourteen and understand our kind of woman.
On designing clothes that flatter Latinas:
I always notice my quickest-selling sizes are the fourteens, the twelves and the tens. I just won a little disagreement to increase the sizes with the website ShopBop. They were only going from zero to eight and I’m like, ‘No, we come in all sizes, we have to increase the sizes.’ So now they go from zero to fourteen and I wish they would go even higher.
