Gisele modelling for Calzedonia, with her "post-baby flat stomach." Incidentally, Calzedonia is possibly my favourite swimsuit brand in the entire world
I think it is great that Gisele has managed to get herself in shape so quickly after giving birth, but I really don’t need to hear about it. Every day. First of all, it sure helps that she has enough money to employ staff to ensure that she eats well, exercises, the baby is entertained, etc… So she definitely has an advantage over normal people. But also, this is another one of those screwed up messages we are sending out to the world…”you must have a perfect body 6 months after having a baby…” It is not feasible for most, especially those who have more than just 5 photos shoots and a bunch of breast feeding between birth and 6 months.
This goes back to the plastic surgery the teens are having…when the media wastes column inches (printed or online) going on and on and on about the perfection achieved by the world’s most beautiful and richest women, it makes it tough for the rest of the world to catch up. And people begin to start doing stupid things (like getting a nose job so that your sunglasses look better. Christ.)
I think Gisele is beautiful, and I love seeing her in catwalk shows, campaigns, etc.. So can we just look and admire, rather than having to listen all the time about how flat her stomach is? She’s a supermodel, that’s her bloody job. Baby or not.
Here’s some of the countless articles (mostly from high quality publications, of course) talking about her “baby body.”
