I was struck by this article on popeater.com. Talking about celebs tending to pose nude during their pregnancies for magazines and such, and why they do it. This seems to be a topic that holds many different opinions. Some people look at it as beautiful, and that this is a beautiful time in ones life, and doing such is a memorable thing and makes it something to look back on. "During pregnancy, the naked body isn't as sexualized. It is safer to go nude because you're looking at these women as life-giving vessels rather than sex objects," explains US Weekly photo editor Peter Grossman.While others dub these shoots as "pregnancy porn."Yet, in some ways, these nude pregos are setting unfair expectations for the average mama. Regular pregnant women simply don't look like these women with their shapely bellies and well-proportioned everything else. A lot of women are swollen, veiny, bloated and have cottage cheese thighs when they're pregnant. Some women see the pregnancy pictures as simply another outlet for celebs to channel their self-absorption. What do you think? Beautiful or obnoxious?
I feel kind of pointless for commenting, because I feel a bit of both. Both sides made good arguments. I truthfully never want to see any of them naked ever, but for many women being pregnant is exciting and their proud, so why not show it off? But at the same time, it may make other women feel worse, which is the last thing a pregnant lady needs. I overall think it is a little too personal, and the stars should just be happy to be pregnant, and they don't need to flaunt it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not pointless..hahah. I'm not sure how I feel about it really..I know you said you think it's too personal, and I kindof agree. But it all is determined in my mind with the "celeb" factor..They're always in magazines doing crazy things...but I think if it were an everyday average person, it would be odd to publicize these photos, if they want to take them just to have, than that's great, but otherwise, not so great. But I guess I can't say much until my motherly instinct kicks in. Haha.
ReplyDeleteA pregnant women is a beautiful thing. Women are part of the reproduction process, everyone should embrace it!!
