It’s a little early for “creative” and “original” writing, so I’m just gonna post an exchange from about ten minutes ago, mmkay? C’mon. It’ll be fun. I promise you’ll laugh.
[four minute pause while I watch the video and change my underwear]I am a mom and actress at the Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles (http://www.groundlings.com) ... and thought you, being a creative funny mom writer might get a kick out of this 3 minute movie I made about skinny jeans, post baby belly (I call it a “booty belly”) and… SPANX! It’s embarrassing but ..pretty funny. Please post or spread around if you like.
Thanks! Ariane
Hi Ariane,
I think I just peed myself. AWESOME! I’m posting it now! I must have four things from SPANX (which means it’s closer to eight), and intended to wear the full body one to my brother’s wedding, but was so not into my boyfriend seeing it that I went without. And in the pictures? I looked just like you, plus some. God bless you for showing what a real mom’s tummy looks like - mine is exactly the same. I think I love you.

Btw, I don’t think husbands like that exist in the wild. Stanislavsky would be proud.

Having JUST bought Spanx this totally made me L. O. L.

Ha! I’ve worn Spanx before and I totally get it… thankfully there are some husbands who don’t seem to mind!

That is hilarious and I’m so glad she did it. I look the same, but feel like everyone around me doesn’t. :D Thanks for the laugh.

I have to admit that I have never had a baby but I still have a ‘booty belly’ and now I feel a whole lot better about it. I’ve bought similar underwear in the uk but it usually just goes to the waist. That really brightened my day!

I just spit my diet pepsi all over my office computer! Thanks!

My wife tells me she loves me booty belly, maybe she means it. Still, I have to lay off those Corn flakes!

“loves me booty belly”
How in hell did I make that typo?
02.05.09 at 10:14 PM |
I had to change my underwear twice cause once I watched it I had to show my hubby. That was awesome. Booty belly, booty eyelashes, booty hair.

I think I went on the same exact date with my wife with about the same end result. I don’t suppose they produce a similar item for men do they?

hahahaha! That video was too funny.

Oh, my whole day was just made by this vid! All day I will say, “Smack the booty belly!”

I just peed my pants laughing, yet another side effect of pregnancy !
