I just read an article in the August issue of CHILD magazine.  Here goes:

                         WET NURSE to the STARS THINKS BIG

"Breasts have always played a big role in Hollywood, and now, if one
Tinseltown resident has her way, they're going to do more than just sell
movie tickets.  D. Barens, dubbed Wet Nurse to the stars for Breastfeeding
the babies of several celebrities, is hoping to start her own line of
mother's-milk yogurt and ice cream.

You heart right.  Says the 27-year old Barens, who fell into the wet-nurse
business as a way of putting herself through UCLA: "So many clients have
asked me to bottle and freeze my milk.  Why not, then, go the next step and
offer more products with all the benefits that breast milk brings?"

While she is currently test-marketing her products only to existing clients,
Barens hopes to go retail some day.  "If this takes off, I'll have to find
other women to help out," says Barens.  "Not even I can keep up with that
kind of demand."


WOW, WHAT A WOMAN!!
