Oh. My. God!! Everybody's talking about Jessica Simpson's appearance on Katie Couric's new talk show, Katie -- not just because of the star's big "post-baby body" reveal, but for another baby body: 4-month-old Maxwell Drew, looking unbelievably adorable in a teeny yellow bikini. HOW CUTE IS THIS BABY?! Those cheeks! Those legs! I could eat her up, oh yes I could! But would you believe that people are criticizing Simpson for showing off this snapshot to Couric ... because they think it's inappropriate?! Oh for Pete's sake, people, really?!
First of all, completely decent, non-pervert types have been photographing babies in the buff for ages -- even my grandmother proudly displayed posed professional pictures on the wall of her kids as babies, lying on their tummies, bums bare (and no one ever accused that woman of being anything less than uber-conservative, let me tell you).
Second of all, if you really want to read THAT much into the picture, you could say Simpson was making a joke about trading her swimsuit model past for new motherhood, or that because the bikini is crocheted like an old-fashioned bathing suit, Simpson is calling for a return to old-fashioned values, or that Maxwell Drew's baby mohawk is an anti-establishment statement against modern beauty standards.
OR you could say, "OH MY GOD, look at that adorable baby in her cute yellow bikini!"
Sheesh. The world needs to get a grip.
Do you think it's such a big deal that Jessica Simpson dressed her baby in a bikini?

I am wondering if she had just shown a pic of the baby in a diaper only would these moms get so bent out of shape? Is it becasue it is a bikini? I have seen numerous pics of babies at this age in just a diaper. Diaper commercials all over tv show babies this age in just a diaper. I mean, to get bent out of shape about a baby in a bikini is absurd. I wouldn't put my daughter in a bikini,matter of fact my 16 year old has yet to ever wear one, but that is just my choice. I am not going to flame someone else for doing it.
She is adorable. I would put any 3of of my daughters at that age in a bathing suit like that at the same age.
I agree with Rhondaveggie and Meg LeRoy.
A crochet Bikini and a swimsuit model pose? Really? I mean yeah she it totally cute, no denying that, but kind of bad taste. That's like the lil Cyrus girl in a short fluffy skirt posing with a pole.
It's absoltuely classless.... It's an attempt to "sexualize" a baby, that's sick. It's not the same as a naked pic of the baby, that is simply a child in his natural state, this is an atempt to ad a sexual appeal to a baby.
She is adorable. I use to put my daughter in bikini's. just because she was a chunky little one...bu so adorable...
