I know I should find these horrific

CaliopeSpidrman · July 2010

but I think they're actually kind of cool: http://www.roomzaar.com/rate-my-space/Nurseries/Belly-Cast-Art-and-Time-Capsule/detail.esi?oid=1439148

I wouldn't get one myself, but I don't think I'd side-eye a friend if they had one in their nursery.

Huh?

No, Cali. No.

Hezzerlah · July 2010

The placement of that first one is making me nervous for that invisible baby.

uh uh.

That would look great hanging next to a fairy themed sears maternity pic.

You wouldn't side-eye Baseball Boob? You are a better friend than I will ever be, I wouldn't be able to contain my laughter.

Aliza131 · July 2010

Really Cali? Not even a little side eye? I think that deserves a slap.

My friend had hers done and I side-eyed it when she was geting it done, but now I think it suits her and their decor.

KristenBtobe · July 2010

Really? you don't find a shellacked sports themed belly cast in a crib creeppy?

Aliza131 · July 2010

The floral one is the least offensive.

CaliopeSpidrman · July 2010

I know, I know! I should think they're awful, but I don't. It's not my style and the baseball boob cracks me up, but I do not find them repellent. I will seek kownsellyng immediately.

talk about self indulgence

Hezzerlah · July 2010

I'm pretty sure the heat is getting to you.
I'm not taking this a face value until the temps drop at least 10 degrees.
Let's revisit this then, shall we?

Temp893353375007415 · July 2010

She decorated it with daisies and other flowers. Self indulgent, yes, but it suits her and it is not that bad. Let me see if she has pics of it onher FB page.

Even assuming for argument's sake that it works as nursery decor, WTF do you do with it once the kid gets older? Hang it in the foyer? And what if you have multiple kids? I'm imagining someone with an army of bloated torsos stored in the attic.

Vinny2008 · July 2010

I'm not really getting it. I actually do find these rather disturbing. What should the kid take away from it? Hey little Bobby, look at what you did to mommy's body.

I just don't ever get the need to memorialize my body in any shape or form. I mean, I dug my pregnant belly, but that is better a memory than a plaster cast object.

The flowery one is like a horrifying version of the flower dress Daniel V. made in season 2 of Project Runway.

SarahBethBR · July 2010

They might as well be honest and call them boob casts. They're drawing enough attention to them. Initial boob, ribbon boob, baseball boob.

I'm also a big fan of the comments.

THIS ONE IS AMAZING. I WAS WONDERING ARE THEY WERE ONLY FOR GIRLS? NOW I SEE.

lanie30 · July 2010

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwful.

And there isn't an instance, ever where that wouldn't be awful on a wall in your home. There's one of those in my midwife's office in the administrator's room. It was too tacky to even put up in the waiting room but it was clearly a gift so... yeah.

NOW I SEE is causing me hysterics.

Comments are the best part of the internet, if you ask me.

I find it really strange to want this on your wall. I find it ten times stranger to give it as a gift.

You all better hope you don't end up with me as your Secret Santa this year.

I know. We gave them fruit bouquets and gc's. I imagined that the women who had been elbow deep in birth gunk daily for the past few years and who had their hands all over my belly and hundreds of others day in and day out wouldn't necessarily also want my boob and belly cast on their wall. Silly me.

PDXPhotoGrl · July 2010

Cali, I don't even know who you are anymore.

CaliopeSpidrman · July 2010

Hey now, I said they're not awful. I'm not accepting their FB friend request or something.

Besides, these look a million times better than the one my friend has in her living room. You may recall I went to a "Blessingway" and one of the activities was for us to all decorate her belly cast. So these are a step up from that. At least I can admit I have a problem!

pdxmouse · July 2010

Caali, would it hurt or help to know I don't find them awful either? I wouldn't want one, but they're unique in a not bad way.

And the potential for an army of beheaded pregnant torsos living in the attic is awesome.
