Giselle’s breastfeeding escapades…
Have you seen this yet? We saw it on the Daily Mail website and it is definitely causing a bit of a stir. On the one hand it’s amazing that Giselle is promoting breastfeeding (especially extended breastfeeding, as Vivian has just turned one) but it also seems a little… ostentatious? Is that the right word? Perhaps ‘boastful’ is better!
Very few women around the world have the opportunities that Giselle has – Jules certainly didn’t have anyone to do her hair, makeup and nails before work whilst she was breastfeeding! But we all know that being a celebrity is not about being normal, it’s about living a life that most people would envy and inform everyone of that fact, every step of the way. The photo seems like a reminder that life is full of moments that contradict each other and don’t really go hand in hand, yet we get on with them anyway.
It also seems very tongue in cheek, like Giselle is poking a bit of fun both at herself and those that view breastfeeding as ‘sacred’. The photo was posted to Instagram, the social media site notorious for people posting pictures of their food, so why should her photo of Vivian ‘eating’ be viewed any differently?
What do you think?
