I hate the title. And the article.
"The astonishingly intimate portrait of Angelina Jolie..."
shes breastfeeding for Christs sake, not masturbating.
"astonishingly private moment"
No wonder people dont breastfeed in public if this is the reaction

CharCharGabor · 09/10/2008 17:53

That is a lovely photo and I'm not even that big a fan of her.

LadyOfWaffleIsScaryEnough · 09/10/2008 17:53

wish my pics looked like that, you can see my nip in my profile one!

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 09/10/2008 17:55

I have no issues with the pic btw, its a nice pic. Some of my fave pics (from when DD was born) are of me b/feeding my dd in the first few days.
But the wording is terrible, makes it sound like its a rare thing to be seen in the world!

I think it's good to show slebs bf.
She is ultra high level sleb so maybe help normalise and promote bf somewhat.
I love her sorry!!!!
Team jolie here.

sclubheaven · 09/10/2008 17:57

Considering what the picture shows (or doesn't show) it is a bit over the top.

"astonishingly intimate" and "stunningly candid"

You can see more boob in the photo of her at the airport

LadyOfWaffleIsScaryEnough · 09/10/2008 17:57

yeah agree, lovely pic but cheeeeeeeeesy words.

sclubheaven · 09/10/2008 17:58

however, she is very beautiful and it's a lovely photo

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 09/10/2008 17:58

I like the pic, but the more the bloody words are swinging around my head again, the more I want to gag on the cheese!!

WeLoveFabio · 09/10/2008 18:00

what a beautiful picture.

I hope it does something to promote Bf actually among the sort of people who are usually disgusted by it.

Piffle · 09/10/2008 18:03

oh and it's a US mag as well
a nipple even hinted at over there leads to all kinds of hookum.
Loons imvho
My idea of intimate would be camera up my ass as I was birthing the critter.
Tits blah I don't know if there is anyone who hasn't heard about or seen mine
And imo more newsworthy down to the comical size element

liahgen · 09/10/2008 18:03

can't actually see baby at all.
few fingers.

nice pic but i have ones just as nice

liahgen · 09/10/2008 18:03

lol at critter.

DevilishDisasterArea · 09/10/2008 18:04

how big are her lips?

expatinscotland · 09/10/2008 18:06

sorry, but i still think it's staged.

i just can't see how she's breastfeeding newborn twins when a couple of weeks after they were born she was swanning around all over the place.

i don't buy it. i think it's bullshit.

Article is a bit shite though

SugarGlider · 09/10/2008 18:33

Ah ha ha, I love the picture of them getting off the plane - if only magazine readers of the world could see the poise with which I (at 38 weeks pregnant) am currently getting on and off the bus - taking out a pensioner with my elbow here, dropping groceries and kicking them under a seat with a curse there

I agree with expat
I can see a baby's hand but no sign of any bf

expatinscotland · 09/10/2008 18:37

more like filipino wet nurse, malory.

i can't see how else.

i mean, she was photographed and filmed out with brad on her own A LOT a fortnight, a month, etc. after she had twins by csection.

well, we've all been there.

and even those MNers with plenty of help found that 3-6 week time bfing exhausting and demanding with or without twins.

thisisyesterday · 09/10/2008 18:37

well, ateotd none of us know whether or not she is feeding them
I have no reason to disbelieve that she feeds them. she may or may not be topping up with something else.
who knows?./>?

but the fact still remains that high profile celebs, esp people like Angelina, being shown breastfeeding DOES have a positive impact on people. it helps normalise it, instead of it being hidden away the whole time.
it makes young girls think about breastfeeding, when otherwise they may not have.
it makes people think, hey, maybe I can do that.

I don't care if people like her or not. if it has a positive effect on even a few people, then it's worth it, no?
