81. I used pillows because the prosthetic was so phony looking

And you can see it, and not the dress bulge and fold in the pics. She overdid it the first time she went out with a 4-5 month size belly because she had been photographed with no bump at all just the week before.
I work with prosthetics and study pregnant women's bodies for a living, and i have to say, she did a really poor job of faking it.
She was expressing interest in adding maternity and baby clothes to her line. It's all about image. Not really shocking, just kind of funny.
