Creepiest Pregnant Belly Art Ever

Posted by JeanneSager

I have never been a big fan of the pregnant belly as art to hang on the wall. Got your stomach cast? Good for you. I'm still not buying it. 

But this isn't just one of those ultra personal pieces of art. It's plain old groooosss.

 Are you thinking alien baby too? I'm thinking that Star Trek movie where the bug crawled into the guy's ear and took over.

Part of the soap line over at Bloomin' Bellies on Etsy it was brought to my attention via Craftastrophe, but they were just looking at this as an average woman's torso. Check out Bloomin' Bellies, and sure enough, these are moms a bloomin' in soap form. And you can get them as twins - with the baby from the black lagoon paired with the baby who has afflicted mom with leprosy!

So here's to mom, whose body couldn't have taken pregnancy any worse.

Ok, so you don't like it. I don't think it is that awful or gross in any way. Get over your judgmental self. Who cares what another women might really like?

Oh, give me a frigging break.  You don't think it's gross?  Goody for you.  There should be plenty of stock for you to purchase several.  It looks like someone vomited into a belly mold and then froze it.  It's not exactly roses, sweetheart.

What is so gross about this, it looks like dried herbs, the kind of stuff that is already in soap bars everywhere? Do pregnant women need roses? I don't get the need to post something just so you can wax on about how gross it is, if you don't like it, there is no need to bring special attention to the fact that you think a bar of soap is so gross. And don't call me sweetheart. In fact, don't call anybody sweetheart.

It looks like there are maggots swarming under the skin. I get wanting to buy this shape, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

And Sam, it's a bar of soap. Get this excited about rape statistics in the Congo-I'd get that. But it's soap, and everyone else is entitled to their opinion. As you are. The internet is a wonderful land where everyone gets to talk.

Especially about this hideous soap. Do YOU want to wash with nipples?

*haha!* I'm with the "ew." camp...pregnant ladies gross me out anyway, and this is just...beyond...

Can you imagine the male version?

Just as gross.

Parasites are no joke! *haha!* This soap has a bad case!

Sam: Maybe it makes JeanneSager happy to get grossed out by soap. There is no need to bring special attention to the fact that you don't think the same bar of soap is not gross. Stop being so judgemental. So there.

But honestly, it looks like it smells really good.

Exactly, Nicki.  Why is it that the "don't be so judgmennnnnntal" crowd always posts the shrillest, most judgmental comments?

Personally I think it's kind of cool, but I'm totally fan of creepy alien stuff, and there were certainly times late in my pregnancy when I felt like a creature from another planet.
