i've been thinking about it on and off all day ... maybe they don't
feel they have a good grasp of who their nursing bra clientele might
be and so aren't sure how to portray them ? maybe if they portray the
usual sultry, steamed up model, they are afraid they'd offend the
maternal & lactating faction of their subscribers. conversely, if they
found a more tame and wholesome model to depict the nursing bras,
maybe they worry they'd offend nursing moms by portraying us as more
homely and w/out sex appeal ... perhaps a faceless model was the best
compromise, after all ! how would nursing moms feel about tyra banks
modeling the nursing bras w/ a babe in arms ... anything to do w/
babies seems not to have a place in their catalog ... maybe they felt
anyone involved w/ lactating and maternal expressions (ha!) in their
catalog should be anonymous to be less controversial ...
