victoria secret nursing bras???


why do i find this disturbing?

ok, let me clarify. i LOVE that bra and almost (but not really) wishes i was still nursing so i could buy this bra. and i am so excited that victorias secret is hopping on the band wagon for supporting (lol) breastfeeding mothers. but can we get some real models please?

would it be that hard to get a model that we could not see her ribs? this is not am image that new mothers need to be inundated wtih when looking for a sexy nursing bra. and yes i said sexy.. like smokin hot. i personally want mamas to feel sexy and smokin' postpartum in usually their plumper than usual selves.

also how does this help those mamas who are nursing and need to eat 300-400 more calories than they did when they were pregnant growing that baby. looking at this photo evokes the desire to sustain on water and cigarettes personally speaking.

wait a minute here is super model cindy crawford who DID have kids and proudly shows the badge of motherhood - stretch marks. i grabbed this image from this news blip. unfortunately the had to say "Unsightly: Cindy Crawford's stretch marks" under a super close up of her belly. i say rock on cindy crawford for wearing your bikini!

on a side note i would love to take a photo of this news organizations editors ass and do a close up on their unsightly butt pimples and cellulite and write about it in people magazine. for real.

if you have never checked it out here is the real Shape of a Mother.

Here here! The body up close might not have been meant for eye of HD style cameras. Have you seen HD baseball... do you really want to see in HD the guys spiting their chew? I think not. I think the body is better appreciated by loving and forgiving eyes than by the harsh glare of a camera.

Also I really hate images of 'nursing moms' or mom's with 'new borns' who have flat stomachs... seriously not possible and not god for the emotionally unstable new moms :)

THAT'S Cindy Crawford?!
I'm SO glad to see her belly! Honestly, you know she's got to at least have access to personal trainers and so on...
That is what my post 2 children belly looks like (exactly so) and it has slowly been dawning on me that that loose skin look will never go away regardless of how many Pilates "100s" I do!
Thanks for posting that. One step closer to embracing myself more fully every day...
