I feel the same way about middle-aged fashion. I clicked on the L.L. Bean megasale link that Jezebel was tempting me with a few weeks ago and I tried to resist this total mom sweater but I could not. I actually returned it for a bigger, boxier size.  I surrender to comfort.  It is freedom.

I’ll likely get flamed for this but:
You write “I don’t mourn the loss of my pre-baby body; I mourn all the needless fucks I gave about it.”
How do we get to a place where people do that without publicly extolling the virtue of the post pregnancy body and, to some degree, shifting the paradigm of self-worth away from…

While I understand your point and agree that a deeper systemic change is needed rather than ‘normalising, brutally honest’ photos to advertise nappies or whatever, I am not ashamed to say that I saw these photos today and felt validated.

meh, to each their own...

Is it all approved by Momoa?

If you think this is my first time singing "All the single kitties", you'd be wrong. Like, really, really wrong.

Wolf! What happened to you? You are a grey shell of your former self!

See my post above.

Hello Jezzies.

I’m thinking it might be Wax John Wilkes Booth on this caper.

The wax model of a rap star getting decapitated? History repeats itself indeed.

Heads are going to roll for this!

It's good to see you again KingWolf, even if it's under a different name. There's quite a few commenters whom I've been missing lately.
