Saving...Miranda Kerr Breastfeeding Photos?
Apparently there has been a whole big kerfuffle about Miranda Kerr posting photos on her blog of her breastfeeding her new baby Flynn.
I know, I know, we already discussed this sort of thing when Facebook decided to censor photos of breastfeeding moms and not those that are bordering on pornographic.
But c'mon... breastfeeding is not only a natural and beautiful relationship but one that needs to be encouraged and supported in order to be continued.
I think of the whole generations of women who aren't able to access breastfeeding knowledge from their mothers, grandmothers and family members because of a commercial or cultural stigma or that stopped the mother from even attempting to breastfeed her baby.
I think that as a role model to an entire generation of young women, Miranda Kerr is fabulous. She posted a photo that shows the comfort, intimacy and bonding that occurs when a mother feeds her child and it is achieved with a natural unposed quality. Kudos to her!
What is funny, is that her site, Kora Organics, which hosts her blog, was crashed and down all yesterday as millions of internet gawkers vied for a chance to see the photo. Do you think they were doing so because they were all enamored with the idea of breastfeeding or do you think it was because so many media outlets featured it and put a slightly political spin on it?

Ok, i think it’s controversial because she is a very public figure and releasing this kind of picture that’s so intimate is questionable. here’s why, I went to school with anna nicole smith’s son, it was not easy for him growing up with a mom that everyone has seen naked or treated as a sex symbol. This believe me, is way before Anna was in any way notorious (when you met her, that woman was beautiful)
So Kerr is a bra and undies model, and during her pregnancy, she has been more NAKED than I can count. this poor lovely kid will grow up being treated
1. Kerr-Bloom child (and the range of envy and weird social dynamics that will ensue)
2.having kids tease you about your mom’s weird nipples cause that’s actually what children in their teens do being immature and cruel.
3.) the name flare ka-boom will undoubtly bring on teasing that really ultimately is the result of envy.
Mom’s are so careful with covering themselves cause lets face it, everyone of us had someone in our class whose mom was a little over the edge. that kid certainly didn’t find it entertaining listening to their mom’s private parts talked about. Think about the load of bad-tasting jokes this picture will trigger among teenagers who may be high, drunk, very rich or very bored (because that is the social crowd for entertainer’s children)
BUT, breast-feeding is a beautiful thing, but she definitely underestimated that publicity is a double-edged sword. which is why, I don’t remember the last time a celebrity has posted a boob-feeding picture. This shows that Miranda is either too-trusty of the goodness in the world or plain and simple naive.
