Celebs I can relate to.

The Burtons on their way to School



I followed a link from the SMH today to a pile of pictures of celebs picking their kids up from school. Why? Maybe its something to do with my current mini-struggle with body image and fat distribution post baby [I had the same thing after Addie, and while I know its all for a good cause, and its not like I was hot-stuff beforehand it still takes some getting used to and I would like to be able to wear some of my favourite clothes already.] Maybe I was feeling like I needed some extra fodder for some healthy self loathing. 

So anyway, I click, click, clicked through the pictures, wondering how the mums had time to get dressed so pretty, or how on earth they were comfortable in those sky high heels [and learned that tights are really 'in' right now if you have sexy sexy legs]. Suddenly,  boom!! This wonderful, beautiful picture of Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton popped up. Ahhhhh, like a drink of cool water after warm sticky fizzy drinks, this picture was soothing, cleansing and felt good!

  2. wow you dont look like that. In fact you look pretty good to me. You can't expect your body to go straight back to the way it was.

  3. Thanks, Tab; exactly what I needed, too. Even HBC can look like I feel. And by the look of that photo she has a great hubby who helps with the kids a LOT :D

  5. lol you're right Sarah. I reckon its great that they don't feel the need to glam it up like the other mums. I've read too many things about yummy mummys I think and was getting a bit brainwashed. I like that Helena is wearing an apron. I like wearing my aprons all day :)

  7. And yes, if I had bucket loads of cash, I'd have lots of pretty clothes, and hire someone to look after the baby while I had a shower too :)

  8. Anyone notice that considering they're on their way to school, they seem to be missing any children?

  9. Oh I think they've either a: lost the kid or b: are on the way to pick up the kid. Not sure which one. If it were me, its possible that I would have forgotten that I had a kid by the time we were halfway to school :)

  10. That was on the news last night- a woman called 000 after realising a significant way away from home that she had left her 6 month locked in at home
