Hhshirt - Marquette golden eagles blue 84 2023 big east men’s basketball conference tournament champ

Shahi tells me over the Marquette golden eagles blue 84 2023 big east men’s basketball conference tournament champions locker room shirt in other words I will buy this phone, from LA: “With aging comes embracing who you are and what you look like, particularly those reminders of motherhood. For years after I had my twins I didn’t appreciate those parts of myself and tried to hide them. It’s been a long journey to loving my body.”She credits the part of Billie, a mother who does not curb her desire yet bears her vulnerabilities, with helping that acceptance, including the “no-brainer” decision to allow the camera to close in on her own so-called imperfections: “When I played younger Billie, in Season 1, we had to cover some of those mom parts; in the present it’s really been a conscious decision not to. The beauty of this show is that it shows us you can be the Madonna and the whore. If the ‘price’ of creating my children is a bit of excess skin or a few stretch marks, I’d feel very superficial saying I felt uncomfortable in my body because of that.”



Her natural post-baby boobs were the Marquette golden eagles blue 84 2023 big east men’s basketball conference tournament champions locker room shirt in other words I will buy this talk of the group chat too. Shahi knows that baring them in sex scenes marks another departure from Hollywood’s idea of sexy (read: not boobs that have nursed babies): “I don’t want to just see perfect, perky tits,” she says. “It was important to show natural, relatable boobs.” Shahi’s frame is tiny and, to many, enviable. But as my friend said when we picked up again on WhatsApp: “I wasn’t looking at how thin or not she was and I’m not saying her body type is how we should all look after a baby but I loved seeing a woman on screen, naked, and having sex who clearly had [given birth].” Those markers of carrying children are the same irreversible changes that are etched on to the bodies of women of every single size—slim, curvy, plus—once we become mothers. They fuel the same insecurities in all of us who have been fed societal, male-held messages that our sex appeal diminishes as a result of them, so, to see them decisively on display, on a top-streamed show about desire, reminds us that, actually, yes, women’s bodies are still sexy AF after we become mothers. Sex/Life creator, Stacy Rukeyser, remembers writing the kitchen scene: “I knew we wanted to make a story point of Billie feeling insecure to show her body, in all its allegedly ‘imperfect’ glory, to a new man after having kids, but I didn’t know if Sarah would go for it and let herself be vulnerable in that way—especially in today’s Hollywood. When I described what we wanted to do, she gave an enthusiastic yes, immediately understanding the important statement we would be making.”Rukeyser adds: “It’s been a rallying cry for us, that it is possible to be a wife and mom—and a ravenous sex goddess—all at the same time.”
