It’s M.I.A. preggers w/her baby (she was deemed well enough to take a flight by her doctor) & performing during the grammys…She was also nominated for one.
It’s not her “on tour”, it was a one time thing & she had her kid like a week or two later.
At least pick an outfit that hides it better!
Why should it be hidden? o.O
Seconded. It’s a belly! With a baby in it!! What’s the big fricking deal?
Bellies with babies in them are disgusting?
^Win.
3ard
FAIL
Women give birth. Deal with it, jealous mofos.
Jealous? Just because girls get pregnant doesn’t excuse them from being more tasteful in their wardrobe selection. If she was fat, you’d be killing her for wearing that.
But, by your logic, people get fat, so I’m sure you and the other defenders would have no problem in seeing John Goodman in that outfit.
DONNY YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!
iawtc
That’s the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard. Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean that everyone wants to see it. And, because I don’t want to see it doesn’t mean I’m jealous. Trust me, I’m not jealous of her fat belly, hemorrhoids, stretch marks, morning sickness, etc, etc.
Her belly isn’t fat, moron. The rest, I don’t know about. But pregnant does not equal fat. Hell, let’s have her barefoot and in the kitchen making you a sammich, too!
I never said anything about her making me a sandwich idiot. I said that she looks disgusting like that. I don’t mind motherhood. Good for her. I just don’t want it flaunted in my face. Some things should still be private.
And, call it what you want, she still looks like she just ate a basketball.
As a matter of fact you sound disgusting.
I know it’s a late comment, but why on earth should a pregnancy be “kept private”?
Because it should be something special between the husband and wife, not a display for the world.
You’re presuming all women give birth when they’re married or have a partner.
*sigh* I guess I’m also alone in thinking this is a sad statement. Made even sadder in it’s truth and how widely accepted it is.
Dont bother arguing with the common misinformed idiot.
I disagree, pregnancy can and
should be encouraged to be shared
with the world. If a woman is happy
to have a baby, why shouldn’t she
share it? If you got, say, a new
sports car (sorry for that analogy
but its one I think he may ‘get’),
would you not want to show people?
I don’t know why I keep replying….
God knows you can’t feel any differently.
You’re correct, I will not ever agree with you, nor will you agree with me. You seem to think that pregnant women should be hoisted up and paraded around and everyone should ogle them and bask in the glory that they can have sex. I just don’t understand how this is “so beautiful.” And, I never will.
Incorrect. I think if
someone is confident, rpoud,
happy, about ANYTHING, why not
share it if they want to?
I don’t like people trying
to prevent the actions
of others, when it
does no harm.
Again, I’m sure I’m the only one that thinks this way, but I do see some harm with her doing this, and I’m being specific here. Just as I did when Britney Spears and all of the other influential figures that wanted to do it because it was cool to them at the time. I’m not saying M.I.A. got pregnant because it was cool. I’m saying she’s a pregnant influential figure, and should take that seriously. Yes, it does do harm when little girls think that it’s cool to be pregnant. It leads to, and perpetuates, the downward moral spiral we’ve found ourselves in.
I happen to agree with you. Maybe I’ll get burned at the stake, too. Influental actresses that get pregnant should take what it is seriously. Many teenage girls seem to think a child is an accessory now. I speak from a form of experience. Half my graduating class was pregnant. Other girls would gather around the girl who was pregnant first (She was fourteen when she got pregnant) And coment how she looke “Sooo cute!” It’s ridiculous and I can’t help but wonder if it was because these celebrity women decided to have children all at the same time.
Now, before anyone freaks out, no I do NOT think it was irresponsible that the celebrity women got pregnant. They did (Mostly) at an age that pregnancy and child rearing can be a good thing, when they had the finances and were responsible enough to take on such a huge task as raising a child is. I DO find fault with the media. They glamorized pregnancy, even pregnancy at a young age. Teen Mom, anyone?
It’s ridiculous and sad that because one person doesn’t find pregnancy beautiful, they should be flamed.
How old are you gnikihtdrawkcab? I see that you think in a childish way . You will see, after you will get married that you want a baby.And that will make you the most happy man in the world. But for the moment….
As an expectant mother, I find your comments disgusting.
I don’t care what you think about me. If you’re out there in a swimsuit, I’ll think you look disgusting too. You really don’t seem to care about my point of view. It’s funny that you think I should really care about yours and because mine doesn’t align with yours, I’m the bad guy.
No, you’re the bad guy because
you’re the one calling people
disgusting. That’s fairly
obvious, surely?
Yup, but I doubt I’m the only one thinking it. I just don’t mind saying it. It doesn’t help if you always sugar coat everything and never tell people they look like an idiot. And, I know, you’re going to tell me I’m the idiot. I still don’t care. Someone has to be that person. I’m glad to fill the spot.
Men and women on rolfrazzi, lets unite to
make sure this one does not become a breeder.
Yeah, good luck with that.
You don’t have to look either you Moron. No one held a gun to your head and made you go to this website.
Yeah seriously.I could go for a sandwich.
She’s obviously not fat, look at her arms and legs. She’s just pregnant. Get over it. Don’t like it? Don’t look!
So, if I walked around in a speedo, you’d be okay with that? I seriously doubt it. It’s disgusting. Cover up. As I said above, some things should be kept in private.
You in a speedo would be disgusting. A pregnant woman is practically never this. This particular pregnant woman looks pretty cute like this.
/agree. Why do you want to control
what other people wear so much? Wear
whatever you want.
but for the record: pregnant women =/=
you in a speedo, under any circumstance.
Because it’s disgusting, people don’t want to see it, and I have a little self respect. But, I know I’m pretty much alone in the last one in a liberal society. I don’t crave attention like a lot of these people.
That logic doesn’t really work when someone’s famous. We don’t get much of a choice. It’s just going to be sad when she sees those pics afterward and wishes she hadn’t worn that.
Don’t look! Even though she’s on stage and on the TV and on the effin’ Grammys and online!
There are waaaaaaay better ways to dress while your pregnant. Just because you wear a flowy dress instead of a biki-onsie thing doesn’t mean you’re ‘ashamed’ of being pregnant. Saying that showing off your huge stomach is being ‘proud’ of being pregnant is flawed. It’s like saying that all women should dress like a skank because they should be proud of being a woman.
Being pregnant is pretty freakin’ obvious. There’s far better ways of ‘showing it off’.
Some things just need to be kept sacred. If I were pregnant I wouldn’t want everyone staring at my belly, just like I wouldn’t want everyone staring at my boobs or ass… that’s for my partner.
Why do you just say that she should be back in the kitchen where she belongs? Maybe no one wants to see all of your “imperfections” out about in daylight. Why should she hide her pregnancy just because you *wah* dont want TO seee iiiit*wah* it is beyond wonderful that she was out there, doing what she loved, and not being forced by society to hide away; women used to be pretty much “kept indoors” after they started showing, so that no one would know “their shame” of actually having sex (!) So, you don’t mind haggy Pam Anderson having all of her nasty plastic bits hanging out; and you’ll likely oggle that vapid talentless Megan Fox, but put a driven, talented, hard-working, beautiful woman out there, to prove to everyone that that pregnancy is not an illness, or that you should have to choose between career and pregnancy, Heavens! Horrible! Shocking! Grow up.
“why don’t you…”
Where on earth are you coming from? Where did I say that I wanted to see Pam Anderson? I never said that she should be ashamed of having sex. I never said that she should be kept indoors. Why don’t read the actual posts before flaming, or is that too much. My claim is that she should should put on some clothes.
seriously? “d” is quite obviously using pam anderson as a generic terms for the many celebrites youve probably ogled in your wasted life.. chill out. shes preggers. we’re aware. the only difference between what she’s wearing and a reulr shirt is the transparency. its not like she’s showing parts that should be hidden stupid and P.S. if you think seeing a pregnant stomach is so disgusting…. i hope your gene pool dies out
Wow caro, you act like you actually know me. Of course, if you did, you wouldn’t have written about half of that statement. Especially if you think my life is any more wasted than anyone else’s. It’s funny though, that me thinking that an over sized, stretched out stomach isn’t beautiful is reason for you to believe that my life is wasted or I’m a horrible person… But, you’re entitled to your opinion. And, I really don’t care what anyone here thinks about me. Also, it really doesn’t matter how many names I’m called on here, it’s not going to make me think that preggers are sexy. That may be your fetish. It’s definitely not mine.
well you obviously have never taken a psychology course above the high school level(i have and im in my junior year of HS) if a pregnant woman is confident in her mid pregnancy body it reduces the liklihood of postpartu depression which can have serious further implications that even include munchausen’s syndrome… and like i said prgnancy is vital to the continuance of the human race.. if you ever are in a romantic relationship or reproduce (which i highly doubt) a word of caution: telling an emotional, hormonal woman (pregnant or not) that she is ugly is a class a bad idea. also, it is part of the heterosexual male psyche to focus on women.. you can lie to yourself and say that you don’t but deep down you know that you do(same principle goes for homosexual males exept the focus shifts to males, obviously) and you also cant accuse celebrites of “craving attention” while devoting attention to them… and if you dont care what anyone here thinks about you then why do you keep defending all of your comments so fervently
DANS TON VISAGE!
Again, it’s amazing how much you think you know about me. It’s rather entertaining, which is one of the major reasons I keep replying. That, and I like to argue/debate. It’s funny how serious some people take things and themselves.
I have never said that a woman shouldn’t be confident or proud of her pregnancy. I have said that not everyone wants it flaunted in their faces. Nor does everyone think that it’s sexy. That’s great if you do. There are plenty of websites for you.
And yes, I have been through college. It did take me 6 years to get my bachelor’s degree, but I blame it on working 60 – 80 hours a week while going to college.
Finally, yes, I am married. I have been for 10 years, and I love my wife very much. No, I don’t have kids. I never wanted kids, and neither does she. I know, you’re going to tell me how you know her better than I because some professor somewhere said that all women want children, and well, if a professor said it, it can’t be wrong.
i did not question if you had gone to college or not, i had questioned whether you knew any psychology…. i go to a magnet school for eight hours a day have an hour long bus ride work 13 hours a week tutoring and baby sitting participate in music competitions at the state level and actively participate in the only high school archaeology club east of the mississippi river that consistently goes on digs(well be digging at the the site uncle toms cabin was based on in a few weeks) oh yeah mock trial starts next week and sats are right around the corner (p.s. it is perfectly normal for couples to not have kids im just against dissing people who do want them) also why dont you do something useful with your bachelor’s degree instead of being on roflrazzi
I’m not dissing people that want kids. That’s their choice. And, I am at work. I just finished with a major project yesterday. I can multitask.
I support you, she shouldnt be out there showing off what should be between 2 people, the man and girl
Wow, you’re in high school? Your opinion is now totally invalid. No opinions until you’ve lived in the real world.
Also, I’m predicting you either are, or will be pregnant before you graduate.
It’s not that she’s pregnant, it’s that for one thing when you’re THAT pregnant, you should take a break from touring, that’s what everyone else does, she looks like she’s about to splode.
But she looks like an idiot.
hunny she is earning money and and she can so let her and get over it
its not like woman all over the wrold carry on working up to there 38 /39 week 9in some cases lay down push the kid out ad then go back to work ) o wiat they do
God that’s a stupid statement. Because women give birth we should want to see their grossly distended, stretch-marked bellies hanging out? I’d be interested in reading your explanation for that logic.
Because they are not grossly distended or strech-marked they are beautiful bellies. There is something seriously wrong with this country that we think that the beautiful natural things that mother nature has given us are ugly. And to you above, yeah wear a speedo, why not! You are a human humans should not have to worry about the idiotic beauty standards of america.
This.
There is nothing gross about a pregnant woman. It only actually gets gross during the actual process of labor, where a rainbow of all bodily fluids imaginable start squirting everywhere and then you watch a tiny, alien like human being imerge through an impossibly small orifice. That can be pretty gross.
But being pregnant? That can be downright beautiful at times.
Exactly, some women look their most beautiful when they are pregnant. Helen Bonham Carter looked like an earth Goddess when she was hugely pregnant.
iawtc. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
God – what is it with Americans and bodies?
“It’s nothing to do with sexism”
Expect that’s totally what it’s about. It doesn’t matter if you’re a woman, you can still be sexist.
Ewwww, ewwww, ewwww, ewwww, ewwww!
You right, we do. But how about something that supports the belly (baby) a little?
Good for her!
SEXISM WIN! How unfortunate.
So she is supposed to be ashamed and hide herself until she gives birth? She’s pregnant, get the hell over it.
No, she’s not supposed to be ashamed and hide herself, but she could cover up. Nobody wants to see that.
I think we all agree that a pregnant woman is a natural and beautiful thing. But that thing she has on is borderline trashy even if you take the baby out of the equation. Actually, I think you can see the head peeking out of that mini skirt.
Criticize someone for dressing trashy then make a comment like that. You fail miserably.
I’m having a baby girl soon and completely agree. Its amazing, and has had such a big influence on my life. But regardless of how much I love my little growing family member I still think you can look sexy beauiful, and full of life. Bu even I had a hard time figuring out what that ensemble as and why it was on.Then I saw other photos of the young lady and realized she does like spectacles doesn’t she? It is a precious thing and very special to give life and care for it. And I believe that if you understand it’s worth you treat it with respct, dignity, and pride. You wear a smile not for but despite everyone else. Your take better care of yourelf knowing your body isn’t just yours( doesn’t quite include jumping around in heels in my book). And dressing up is a big part of taking care of yourself. Even in a bikini, it’s just more appropriate at the beach.
I suppor not having children too. There are so many children already alive without families that love them right. So despite our young age my husband and I will be fostering and adopting as well. Um..Good luck everyone
I don’t mind seeing it, I think it’s cute as hell. Your attitude can go back to the fricking 18th century where it belongs and stay there. Please.
I personally have no issuse with pregnant woman…I think they’re all beautiful but, of course, I’ve never seen a pregnant woman wear an outfit like that.
Maybe because normal pregnant women usually want to be good role models for their kids?
The kids who actually have no idea what’s going on? The kids who won’t, in fact, have a clue for a couple of years after they’re born?
It was recorded. It’s on video and obviously in pictures…available to every person on the internet. Who’s to say the kid won’t come across this picture in 15 years and wonder “wtf was my mother thinking?!”
Everyone thinks that about how their parents dressed. You don’t have to be a badly dressed singer for your kid to think that.
yeah, except in this case, the kid would be justified…
Or perhaps the child would be raised to understand that one person’s idea of style and beauty is not the same as another’s. So the child may actually say, “Not my cup of tea, but go Mum!”
iawtc. I’m sure her mother will!
I don’t know how many of you have
ever been Preggers, but Many women
do not feel comfortable with it.
Some women LOVE being pregnant. If
she is a woman who can embrace her body,
even when it is bigger than normal
(and bigger than is expected for a
woman in hollywood), then MORE POWER
TO HER. The same goes for any woman
who is not “perfect”. If they are
confident, then I am happy for them.
I may think this particular outfit is
not my style, but that is simply
because I am not a polka-dot person.
She looks fabulous.
How is she being a poor role model? Bad fashion choices do not equate to being a bad parent.
Grouchy mom is grouchy today.
Bad fashion choices do not equate to being a bad parent.
however, I totally agree with this
SO all of those women out west who dress like they live in the late 1800′s, with long braided covered hair, and modest calico dresses must be GREAT parents, even while they marry their 12 year old daughters off to 50 year old men. Sounds like perfect logic to me; Covered up=good mom; uncovered=bad mom; wow maybe should get a Nobel Prize for figuring that one out-
Believe it or not, there are people who don’t find pregnant women the most enthralling thing on the planet. -.-
no one is saying that they are “enthralled” I think that the point is that people should just eff off and let her have her life; if they don’t like to see her out there with her pregger tummy, THEN DON’T LOOK
This. Really… pregnant women need to get over themselves. Not everyone wants to see it; and nature is often disgusting.
You are not a mother earth goddess. You just failed at birth control.
i wish she was mia
Only a moron would compare preganancy to obesity. There’s nothing wrong or distasteful about the appearance of a pregnant woman and she shouldn’t be held to a different standard of dress. Go back to junior high, the dark ages, or wherever else you got your backward thinking.
Your right in spirit, but in the real world there are clothes that are acceptable normally that pregnant women shouldn’t wear. Of course the outfit in the picture is would be butt-ugly on anyone regardless of their reproductive state.
I disagree. I think women look pretty much the same whether obese or pregnant. The method behind it may be different, but the appearance is the same. Deal with it.
I’m not saying she should be shunned or not be allowed in public. I’m saying cover up a little. Nobody wants to see her parading her big belly around. It’s not cool. It’s not attractive. It is something special between her and her husband.
Nobody wants to see her parading her big belly around. It’s not cool. It’s not attractive. It is something special between her and her husband.”
You keep using that word. I do not think that it means what you think it means.
I love you and would have your babies, except my uterus is busy right now.
Have fun storming the castle!
Totally agree, apparently to that person nobody simply means me.
WIN.
I am still trying to get HOW, exactly, he
thinks pregnant women and obese people
looks the same. Case in point: did anyone
here think MIA was obese? no? no one?
Maybe it is because she is so, clearly,
pregnant.
“I don’t want to see her parading her big belly around.”
There I fixed that for you.
Because women, according to you, exist to be attractive so guys like you could fap to their pictures? GTFO!
So, what – are you saying fat people should be shunned and not allowed in public?
Stop using the word husband! It’s irrelevant.
That’s as vulgar as showing a man having an erection. It may be part of life, but some things are private.
wow. what a creepy and scarey comment; what the hell goes on in YOUR mind?
A pregnant belly is as vulgar as showing an erection? Seriously? You really want to go tiwht that line of reasoning? Because, last I checked, flashing a pregnant belly to someone crossing the street won’t get you arrested or slapped with an indecent exposure fine.
*with*
True that and a lot of people when they see you are pregnant want to come over and talk to you about it and touch your belly.
which is very creepy….every pregnant woman I’ve ever talked to has said they HATE it when people do that. Seriously, is it normal for some stranger to come up to you and just start touching you without your permission? or to even ask? I would slap them. Just cause there’s a baby in there, it’s still my skin and body, creepo…back away
It is the creepiest thing ever.
Also… an erection to a pregnant belly?!
Maybe I should go around touching random
men’s erections. See how they like it.
Wait…that isn’t the same at ALL!!!
What about a bulge caused by a flaccid but sizable penis? You know, you notice them sometimes…
You know, it’s just someone’s body.
As a woman, a fairly young one at that, I really wish that young women, preggers or not, would cover up more. I have my own tatas, my own butt, my own belly, my own ______; I do not need, nor want, to see anyone else’s. This outfit on non-pregnant woman would be equally distasteful. That said, I am glad that she is still out touring. Do whatever you want that does injure the baby!
What are you saying in your last sentence? Are you saying that her working is hurting the baby?
I’m thinking, and hoping, that there was a mistake in that sentence. I hope that the poster meant for “does” to be “doesn’t”.
As someone who takes great pains to wear ensembles that flatter my figure and hide problem areas,seeing something like this offends my sensibilities. There was a time when people cared about how they appear in public.
Many of the people you think don’t care actually do. They just don’t care how _you_ think they appear in public. Sorry you have hang-ups about your body, but I don’t see why anyone else should be forced to embrace them. Her body, her opinion on what is beautiful, her choice. Whether you or I like it is irrelevant (for the record, I don’t — not because of the belly, or the amount of skin, but simply because the design is, IMO, fugly); if she feels beautiful in it, then she is, so to hell with what you/I/other people unimportant to her think; not my body or my dress/bodystocking/whatever it is.
iawtc.
I’m sure MIA is devastated that she offended your sensibilities.
I heard she was in tears.
Weeping next to the two Grammys she won that night.
I’m sorry but you sound like you really need to learn to love yourself, if you are so worried about your “problem areas” that it offends you when other people don’t. (By the way – her pregnant belly is a “problem area”????? WTF).
Wow. Scantily clad pregnant women always get me pretty aroused… :drool:
well, I am glad to see that there are women who are willing to work right up until labor starts. o.O I think that kid will be born on the stage, pick up a mic and cry in rhythm. I don’t think that pregnancy has to be hidden, but the outfit is ugly.
i agree that the outfit isn’t great, but how is it worse than a sequined sports jersey? m.i.a. has her style, i don’t have to agree with it, but she makes fine music and i respect her politics, actually.
i suspect a lot less people would be complaining if she wore this when she wasn’t pregnant. sure, it would still be bizarre-looking and largely mesh, but that isn’t really what most people are complaining about.
how would it be different if you couldn’t see through the dress? you’d still be able to tell she was pregnant. is it really just because skin is visible that people are getting offended or irritated?
I would bet the big complaint is not about it being see-through, but it is more about the fact that it is see-through- and you see NO STRETCH MARKS!;)
yea, some women are lucky enough to not get stretch marks while pregnant. “hate them”
Not really…but I am seriously envious
I for one would most certainly complain even if she wasn’t pregnant. The outfit is hideous. We’re so close to a nudist society and people are seriously going to regret that when it happens. We’re going to see naked,hairy butts,stretchmarks,zits,scars,wrinkles,not to mention nude obesity. I’m buying eye-bleach in preparation for this disaster thanks to everyone wanting to let everything hang out.
Well I certainly can’t wait for us to not care about the zits scars (scars are sexy to me though..), the hair, wrinkles. Our society will be better when we embrace those qualities.
Human beings are flabby, stretch-marked, spotty, hairy, smelly, wrinkly and more. That’s just how we are. Why do you have such a problem with the human body???
MIA is awesome. I’m guessing that outfit is supposed to be taken about as seriously as Borat’s mankini. Doing what you love while you are that pregnant is awesome. I know I’d prefer to be laid up in bed with people waiting on me if i was that size. Pregnancy is aweseom, without it, none of us would be here.
M.I.A is a very beautiful and sexy woman. Her pregnancy doesn’t change that a bit. She’s just as attractive as ever.
That said, I do have to agree with the points that it is an ugly outfit, pregnant or not, and that I regret the general lack of modesty in society today, especially in the entertainment industry.
…And the mankini was just disgusting.
BoringTroll is a parent, so BoringTroll is not bothered by pregnant women, regardless of how dressed they are. BoringTroll knows not to try to stop a pregnant woman from doing what she wants to do, however she wants to do it.
BoringTroll is amused that prudes and women in their late teens are the ones most offended by pregnant bellies.
BoringTroll knows a little about pregnancy. Some women get very large during the second trimester. Some babies get to float in huge swimming pools of amniotic fluid. Other babies have barely enough space to pull their feet back, so they can kick their moms in the bladder. So BoringTroll knows not to assume that a women with a large belly is close to giving birth.
Boring Troll sounds like he finally learned some sense.
Boringtroll gets a WIN today! He nailed it
I think the dress is ugly whether or not she’s pregnant, other than that, if tastefully done, a woman can show off her pregnant belly and be beautiful. She needs maternity leave, all this touring cannot be healthy for her or her baby
MIA is a cute little teensy girl so she’s probably used to wearing cute little teensy clothes and probably any other maternity-wear feels like a burqa to her, and she probably ain’t goin’ for that.
If she is out working and touring while pregnant, thats for her, her husband and her dr to decide.
If she wants to wear an outfit that emphasises, shows off or FLAUNTS her pregnant belly, then again, thats HER decision! If the outfit is ugly because of material, design or pattern – thats a judgement call on others parts … but shouldnt be considered ugly just because it shows off her belly – regardless of advanced state of pregnancy or not!
Truthfully? there are FAR more tasteful outfits to wear – and it has NOTHING to do with being pregnant! As for those who find her “showing it off” so distasteful… why is it distasteful for a celebrity to show off being pregnant and not an everyday woman walking in the shops?
I agree that a celebrity or any woman has a right to show off her pregnancy, but I still hate the dress.
I think women could work all nine months…as long as it isn’t strenuous…like heavy touring, which involves practically no rest..sure perform a few shows, but not constant touring.
Perhaps she isn’t touring..perhaps it was just a show…I have no idea as I’m not a fan…I don’t get into mainstream music much..if this is the case, then I have no problem. I’ve no problem with pregnant bellies..unless they are covered with big red stretch marks..then yea, they should be covered.
Another vote for the “Damn that outfit is fugly!” crowd.
Well at least we can all agree that dress is damned ugly, no matter what size it might come in.
kill it, KILL IT WITH FIRE !
Okay, by the sound of it, the majority of us agree that pregnancy is a wonderful, natural thing; but, that what she’s wearing is tasteless and ugly, and would be regardless of her size.
Seriously, though, so long as she isn’t hurting the baby, I don’t really see any reason why this should be such a huge deal… besides a few people with retinas suffering third-degree burns, but those with weak psyches shouldn’t be on roflrazzi in the first place.
I guess I’m weird. I looked up that dress because of her wearing it as a maternity dress (it’s not).
I love it like that. I think it’s skanky the normal way (the normal way also doesn’t involve the black spankies/bra she put on underneath) and pretty neat/inventive this way.
/shrug
wow. I’ve read all these comments and there are some pretty wacky things being said. I’l just throw in my 2 pennies and say that pregnant bodies are not beautiful- every time I see a basketball belly hanging out with the bellybutton all poked out it makes me want to hurl. BUt kudos to the women who can get through pregnancy without gaining 60 lbs for a 9 lb baby.
nettik,thank you for commenting. Srsly with all the pregger fetishists on this board I thought I was back on DeviantArt.com. *shudders*
I have to agree. Seeing pregnant women about to burst makes me physically ill.
So this was at an MTV awards show of some sort, she was not actually touring. I would imagine that the decision to have her perform was made well in advance of the pregnancy. So I’d imagine that when considering whether to go ahead and perform she considered the fact that she felt great and wanted to do it. At that point there was no hiding her belly, mumu or otherwise, so I’m sure she thought “hey, why hide it? let’s actually flaunt it in the most gossip-worthy way” I’m absolutely positive she didn’t choose this outfit because she looked good, she wanted to shock people, maybe get them to laugh a little at the ridiculousness and be the talk around the water cooler the next day.
Her belly is beautifull but the dress is ugly D:
who is that?
Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam (Tamil: மாதங்கி ‘மாயா’ அருள்பிரகாசம்) (born 18 July 1975),[2] better known by her stage name M.I.A., is a British songwriter, record producer, singer, fashion designer, and artist of Sri Lankan Tamil origin.
Go to Wiki and search “M.I.A. (artist)”
Wait…she’s a designer, and she still wore that…thing?
what´s wrong with this?
I don’t understand what the problem is. How does that look disgusting?
You are all kids who have no idea what life is. The only thing wrong here is her outfit, the fact she sings while she is pregnant, what is wrong with that? I don’t even know who the person on the picture is, but it is pretty clear to me that you all need to grow up.
I agree! …kind of.
I don’t love her dress but it’s a matter of opinion. If she thinks she looks great, then why give it another thought? There are far too many women with low self image, pregnant or not, to be nit picking this one. Pregnancy is beautiful, the dress maybe not. But who looks stellar in maternity clothes? she probably had this custom made for the event. Blame the designer if you must but leave the poor girl alone!
The song was pretty good so I’m glad she preformed.
Word. And the fact that the OP keeps mentioning the fact that “this is between the woman and her husband” betrays a lot too.
I saw the Goddess Cyndi Lauper opening for the Goddess Tina Turner around 1996 or so, Cyndi was in her early 40s and OMG HUGE PREGNANT, and of course being Cyndi, in a teensy short dress and running around onstage being the amazing entertainer she is. During an “acoustic” set she got up on a stool and threw a sheet over her lap. She said “The sheet is my friend. One time in New Jersey I forgot the sheet and someone in the 3rd row pointed and said IT’S A BOY!!!”
I about died laughing.
I wonder who’s going to be the first celebrity to give birth in front of a live audience?
Probably Megan Fox. Attention is like heroin to her. Picture it,she’ll give birth live at Giant’s Stadium and auction off the afterbirth. Now THAT’S class!
Of course this is a fail because you all would decline the opportunity to perform with 4 of hip hops biggest stars and make a million with 1 minute of singing right?
And quit worrying about the baby. She gave birth to the kid the day later.
lol.. this has NOTHING to do with her being pregnant and everything to do with her bad taste. There are a million other complimentary maternity clothes out there. Why the hell would she dress like a Gothic Easter Egg is beyond me. The woman is tacky and tasteless. Preggers doesn’t excuse stupidity. Ever.
that outfit is hideous. I don’t care that she’s pregnant, high schools are brimming with prego teens. I personally don’t find a pregnant woman’s physique amazing.
who cares, her wardrobe here is ridiculous.
Wow, there is so much woman hating/pregnancy/body shaming FAIL here, I don’t know where to begin. I think the word “Choice” has been removed from the American vocab.
Cheers to those arguing women’s rights. To those trying to justify their prickish comments – even the women – yeah, you’re still a prick.
A pregnant working woman can do whatever the hell she likes. Get into the year 2009.
For all those people who don’t like pregnant bellies being shown in small clothing, never, EVER come to Australia in the summer… EVER. In fact, never come to Australia, pregnant women here are pretty proud of their bellies.
Where I’m from, people who let their big bellies hang out any time of year are called “gross.”
The outfit is ugly; her pregnancy has nothing to do with anything.
Yeah you pretty much failed hardcore with this one.
since when aren’t people discreet?
i think this is completely normal and i don’t think she should hide it or just sit at home & wait until she gives birth and starts wearing size zero again.
she is singer, not a lap dancer, so she does not have to fit in your masculine taste.
Maybe child-rearing would be a more viable option to some women if we didn’t all jump to cover up pregnant bodies or anything slightly representative of reproduction / women’s sexuality. So sorry if an artist isn’t as sexually attractive to some if her body changes, but I’m pretty sure the music was very much unaffected. Comments like this are nothing new… but perhaps I’d have more of an “I like jokes!” attitude if the message were expressed in a way that was actually funny.
When people have a tapeworm, a parasite that shares your food and causes you fatigue and malnutrition…people kill it. It’s considered a medical malady.
A fetal parasite eats your food, causes diabetes, causes nausea and vomiting, makes you fat (whereas a tapeworm makes you lose weight), have swollen feet and legs, causes fatigue, makes you miss work, and you’re stuck paying for it for 18 years.
Adopt!
Pregnancy is beautiful. NOT LABOUR.
I think it’s hilarious, all the comments. Everyone who’s all FOR the chick think they’re being feminist and special and showing that these women have rights as well.
The others, who are against pregnancy are just stating their point of view and they get flamed.
Ah, the internet is amusing. (:
she’s a class act.
This outfit would be disgusting on anyone. From someone 100 lbs to someone 400 lbs. It’s just a horrible outfit. Has nothing to do with her being pregnant. Just has to do with this outfit being hideous.
See I agree with the “Disgusting” side of the board. Not for how she looks or what she is wearing. I don’t give two shts about that. I just hate the idea that yet another brat is going to be adding the overpopulation of this shthole we call Earth.
