Badges of Motherhood?


There's really only one way to get those tiger stripes on your belly; you earn them in the last hard weeks of pregnancy. They should be badges of motherhood, right? So why do we spend small fortunes on creams and potions to avoid these marks? Ohh yeah, we only value money and youth!
Call me a militant feminist but I LOVE stretch marks and think they're beautiful, AND I shave my legs.
Whether your little bundle o' joy leaves permanent parks of residence or not is largely determined by your particular genetic makeup so give it up ladies, those marks are beautiful! Tattoo around them, ignore them or wear them proudly as the physical badge of a long journey cause you can't get rid of them.

If they're still irritating you blame it on your mother, it's genetic after all.
