Umm. I guess it’s just me but I don’t see the issue. If someone shows up looking skinny and smashing in a great dress and 4 inch heels three months after having a baby, I know I want the details.

Anyway, it sounds like Michelle is enjoying her baby girl. Great name she gave her, I love it.

I agree with Betsy– I don’t understand why People included the sample size dress info.. it’s quite irrelevant but then again it does not surprise me.. they do everything to make new moms and women in general feel awful about their body. pretty sad.

While I am thrilled for Michelle and her daughter, I must add that I work in the entertainment industry and have met Michelle in person and she is extremely thin. Being on camera does require a very svelte figure, but I hope she kept a few of the pounds she put on with her pregnancy. Sample size designer dresses are even smaller than what ends up on the rack, and I wonder how much time she had to spend away from her new daughter at the gym to achieve that level of weight loss in that amount of time. It’s a little shameful, even though it is part of her “job” to be small. Just my humble opinion…

No wonder people are crazed about weight. I really don’t see why People had to include that she zipped herself into a sample side.

Say she looked great, beautiful dress etc…. but the preoccupation peoople have about weight, whether pregnant, post-preg, or just anytime is due in large part to the media. On one hand, many of the mags write all these stories about the publics and Hollwood’s preoccupation (no wonder since it is so dissected and discussed), but then on the other hand they write endless articles about such and such gaining, such and such losing.
