User post: Celebrity moms on mags -- The naked truth

Who started the trend of celebrities posing nude on magazine covers?  Demi Moore!  Yep, she started the naked cover trend in August of 1991 on Vanity Fair's cover - posing while heavily preggers.  She posed again a year later for the same magazine, and then again on Rolling Stone's February 1995 cover.  Since then, many celebumoms (including Angelina Jolie post-Shiloh, seen above) have taken it all off - or mostly all off and shown us their famous assets.

Why do they pose almost naked for magazines?  Do they feel the need to let the world know that they're still hot (if they've posed post-baby)?  Do they need the money?  Attention seekers?  Their publicist made them?

If they've done all their posing pre-kids, do they now regret it?  Will they be embarrassed to tell and/or show their kids the magazine cover?

And not to say, we, as women and moms, should be ashamed of our bodies, but does that mean we should put it all out there for the world to see?  I say 'we' like I'm going to be posing naked on a cover, but my grown kids (and my younger ones) would probably be mortified.  Plus, Vanity Fair hasn't called.

    Love that color!

    And Yes, The sex sells.

    Some photos are classy, some are for shock factor.

    If the Ladies at an age embarrased to show any one including family,

    Too late. Why would there have to be an excuse for doing it or an apology?

    They need the adoration.. it seems to be the motivating factor for most of what they do. When you look at celebrities who lead normal lives and stay out of the headlines, you can see that it IS possible. Anyone who puts their face out there 24 hours a day, and especially feels the need to be naked (or partially naked) in public, obviously has issues. Just my humble opinion.

    Just because you 're a mom doesn't mean you loose your sexual self. These women look gorgeous and I give them props.

    To be honest with you, I really like Demi Moore.
