Just when you think that baby bumps really are the new black, it only takes a few folks in North Dakota to shock you into the reality that naked pregnant bellies are not as swish, hot and happening as we would like to think (or maybe just me).According to the editor of The Forum, this picture caused quite a stir for the readers of last Sunday's edition. As the humble denizens of North Dakota perused their weekend news, it seems a few folks nearly choked on their cornflakes when they saw a blooming belly staring them in the face.
Among the reactions:
“I’m shocked you would run that photo, let alone on the front page,” one woman caller said Monday morning.
“There are just some things best seen only by a woman and her doctor,” remarked another man.
“There are just some things best seen only by a woman and her doctor,” remarked another man.
Is it a generational thing or are there really people out there who find pregnancy inappropriate?
We all bang on about how 'mainstream' pregnant bellies have become, how pregnancy is finally out of the closet and how much easier it is to be out and proud...yet, the humble folk of North Dakota think Demi Moore is a maternal minion of hell for burning our retinas with that photo and ushering in an era of tight maternity tops and pregnant silhouettes.
Are preggo gals in North Dakota still wearing pinafores and oversized bows, puffy sleeves and Peter Pan collars?
