I need some cold compresses for my eyes! They burn!

This will haunt her forever. Miss Janey now needs a lobotomy.

Eeek, I have no words. I was thinking the same thing about the belly button!

Very fertile? What an ironic choice of words.
Cindy Margolis has had a long and public struggle to have children, and is the spokesperson for several infertility organizations. She conceived one child after several IVF procedures, and later turned to a surrogate to have twin girls. That photo appears to be from that first pregnancy, but even by then, she’d spent tens of thousands of dollars on IVF, and gone through much heartbreak.
Not saying the dress isn’t tacky, but y’know, I kind of understand.

Yes, that pic was from that pregnancy, and I had heard briefly about her struggles to become pregnant. The treatments did work very well, as you can see, so I felt it fair at that point to say yes, she was fertile. Hell, some women with no biological problems need to resort to matchmakers before they can conceive, so I don’t define the state of fertility narrowly: quite the opposite. She made it, and she’s showing it off.
I can understand her desire to flaunt it (I mean, the woman finally achieved her dreams, and she looks, we must admit, gorgeous beyond the lot of mortals) but that outfit is just heinous. For the first and only time in my life I’m coming out on the side of Demi Moore and saying if you want to flaunt the bump, you’ve got to either wear clothes or not. The “I put the long johns on backward and opened the ass flap” look is not a sophisticated one.
Also: thanks guys, you’ve got better eyes than me. I did not notice them airbrushing out the bellybutton. Talk about weird…that would make her Eve, wouldn’t it?

Seriously, no one but your spouse or mother wants to see your giant pregnant belly. Besides, there are so many cute maternity clothes you can wear now. Why, oh why?
Oh and if they airbrushed out her bellybutton, that means you can bet she got stretch marks…there is justice.

Frac. I spit.
This is the funniest post I’ve seen tonight.

Thanks! That’s some tough competition, I imagine…uh, where’ve you been looking? Salon?
