I'm in love with this picture of Angelina breastfeeding on the cover of W magazine (lifted from JustJared.com).
I'm not one to follow the craziness that seems to plague Brangelina everywhere they go, but this is a welcome break from aforementioned insanity.
Beautiful and relaxed. Not much makeup, natural lighting, and -- bonus! -- Brad snapped this picture.
Besides, do you know how freakin' hard it can be to get a whole 'nother person who doesn't even know his or her or hir hands are attached to their own body to recognize that your nipple, the little pokey thing at the end of that pillow on your chest, is the thing to latch on to and eat out of?!
Umm...hello: Super hard.
(There are people whose full-time job it is to teach people with ta-tas how to do this. 'Nuff said. Like... they get paid a freakin' salary to show Mom: "Okay, see that thing? Put it in the baby's mouth. Good job. See you tomorrow.")
So anyway, I don't understand the whole celeb-culture thing, even as I fall victim to it every once in awhile. But I'll say one thing... pictures like this? Oh, so Worth It.
I hope Brangelina's family thinks so too.
I love this pic! I heard about it via Yahoo News but didn't see any previews of it. I love how Angelina looks relaxed and beautiful au natural. Her eyes show much adoration which really makes this picture stand out compared to posed pictures for other photographers.

Queenalpo, Have I told you lately how much I love you and what a wonderful writer you are? What a wonderful piece you wrote about a beautiful picture. I think I might have one like it of CK that I should share with you someday.
