Why? That is all I can muster when it comes to women doing nude pics while pregnant. I get the whole, pregnancy is beautiful thing, but why the nakedness? I once attended a friend’s baby shower and she had a 3 foot framed photo of herself naked and in her third trimester above the fireplace. What do you say to that? “Ok, wow. You’re naked on top of the fireplace. I guess that brings an entire new meaning to fire-crotch.”

Regardless of my narrow minded views on framed nudity at brunches, Mariah Carey is naked on Life and Style magazine’s cover. I am not surprised at this one as she is proud of her narcissism and reminds you how great the Mimi is at every given opportunity. The other factor of this pic is that it looks more like an breast cancer PSA pic demonstrating how to check yourself for lumps. Plus…this is Mariah! Where are the sparkles, unicorns, rainbows and Hello Kitty blowing kisses?

“I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience. My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans.

The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable. Especially the girl — clearly she’s a diva in training! We didn’t start shooting until 1:30 a.m. because I was in the hospital from the night before until the day of the shoot with contractions five minutes apart!

Now I have so much respect for mothers everywhere, especially those who’ve had difficult pregnancies or given birth to multiples. We need to have Mother’s Day once a week!”

Kicking babies and contractions gave her new respect? She does realize where these twins are going to come out, right? Someone please ensure that she is aware these kids aren’t going to arrive on winged kittens.
