This was a last minute addition, but I’m really happy about it! Last week, Rachel McAdams’ shoot for Girls Girls Girls magazine was released, and the image that’s getting the most buzz is the above shot.
Rachel had given birth to her son a few months before the shoot, and during a break on the photoshoot she had to do some breast pumping. Rachel being done up like a bad bitch in Versace and pumping off her breast milk was clearly an epic look, and made it into the magazine.
This picture of Rachel McAdams looking like a sexy boss bitch while pumping off milk for her child is really my aesthetic for 2018 (I also had a baby, btw), and I think I’m going to get this image put on a t-shirt, because it’s fucking everything.
A couple of days after this picture of Rachel blew up, Cardi B dropped her new music video, “Money”, which features a bad ass looking Cardi rapping while breastfeeding (I only recently found out she wasn’t really breastfeeding, and it was a prosthetic baby. Crazy!) but the imagery is powerful none the less.
As someone who knows the fucking toll of breastfeeding, seeing these images of women looking like beautiful fucking bosses while acknowledging their breasts as a food source for their babies is just absolutely ground breaking and legendary in pop culture.
A woman pumping breastmilk in Versace? Epic.
A woman breastfeeding in a rap video? Epic.
Also, sorry for the delay on this, last night was Tibbs Eve, which is basically just a Newfoundland tradition where everyone gets fucking TRASHED on December 23rd. It’s a pretty big deal and I take Tibbs Eve pretty serious. There might be a delay on the 24th blog, too, because my fucking kids are trying to make Christmas Eve all about them and not my pop culture blogging. Kids, right?! So selfish.
