Rant of the day

Who decided it was chic for pregnant women to wear clothing that shows their bellies? Now, I'll grant I'm probably a bit of a prude; I'm not all that fond of any women wearing midrif-bearing clothes. I don't care how toned and "sexy" your stomach is, I don't really want to see it. And there are way too many people without six-packs running around in shirts that are too small. But there is something particularly disturbing about this trend among pregnant women. Don't give me that miracle-of-life, wonder-of-childbirth crap either. There is nothing wonderful or miraculous about stretch marks and herniated navels - keep them to yourself!

I blame Friends and Jennifer Aniston's tiny tank-tops...she was responsible for that horrendous shag haircut in the mid-Nineties too.
