Naked Moms Take Japan
Watch out world, the naked pregnant lady has moved to the Far East.
A pregnant woman letting it all hang out hasn’t turned heads in the states since Demi Moore was still palling around with men her own age. But news that Japanese women are dropping trow for a mama-to-be shot is getting plenty of press.
Why?
Just three years ago, a pregnant Britney Spears, nude and on an American magazine cover, caused an uproar when it was slated to appear lifesize in the Tokyo subway. Officials said it was “overly stimulating” and called for everything below Spears’ elbows to be masked.
Fast forward three years, and business is booming for photogs who take tasteful photos of moms-to-be, playing up the big ol’ belly. It’s good money too – moms are paying an average of $370 a session.
With stretch marks from here to eternity, that was never going to be me. I’m not Demi. Or Britney (my kid rides in a carseat, thank you very much).
But with the trend growing and going worldwide, do you see the average stretch-marked American mom lining up anytime soon?

Marj commented on Aug 07 09 at 6:32 pmI think nude photos, both pregnant or otherwise, can be beautiful, and tasteful. However, I just had twins, and my belly would have needed serious air-brushing to look beautiful.
