Angelina Jolie Bares Breast(s) For W Magazine
Now here's something I can praise Angelina Jolie for: breastfeeding. I know to some of you (yeah Brangeloonies, I'm talking to you!) Saint Angie's breastmilk is a sacred liquid which can cure all of the world's diseases, especially impotence, but more importantly, it is incredibly healthy for her twin babies, little Shiloh and not surprising, Angie herself.
Even better than Angelina Jolie choosing to do the healthiest thing for her children, she's allowed herself to be photographed breastfeeding, and according to Life and Style Weekly, the world will be given the privilege of feasting their eyes with her lovely visage in the November issue of W Magazine.
Here's the L&S Weekly story:
It's true! Sources who've seen the photos confirm exclusively to Life & Style that Angelina Jolie really did pose for the cover story of W magazine while breast-feeding!
"Angelina posed for Brad [Pitt] in one of the photos while breast-feeding," the source reveals to Life & Style. "It's really beautiful and tastefully done.""The photos are amazing," adds a second source.
Brad shot the photos in mid-August at Chateau Miraval, the family's home in the South of France. They're scheduled to appear in W's November issue, hitting newsstands on Oct. 21.
I applaud Angie and Brad for doing this and bringing a glamorous face to breastfeeding. Until the last century when the Nestle company successfully made a bid to globalize baby formula (which can be a dangerous practice in third-world countries where clean water is scarce) breastfeeding was the norm for virtually all children. The nutritional benefits of breastfeeding are well documented and research has shown children who are breastfed are statistically healthier and less prone to suffering from a variety of common childhood illnesses. Here's a nice list and links to resources about the benefits of breastfeeding.
