Bernice Mene on Womans Weekly

Has anyone seen this week's Womans Weekly with Bernice Mene naked on the cover?

Linky

At the risk of getting slammed I think it's going a bit far! Not the pregnant belly so much but more the fact that she is completely naked. I think it would have looked nicer if her boobs were covered like they are in the inside pics. They are obviously just going for the shock factor to sell the mag so I can't believe she went along with it.

I actually admire her for doing it. She didn't have to do it and she's a very intelligent woman, so could have easily said no.
I think good on her for showing off her fantastic preggy body.........wouldn't have got me doing that!

I also like NZWW because they ALWAYS have NZ people on the front cover. Unlike Woman's Day who nearly always have American celebrities and usually in situations where they are looking their worst. I buy NZWW just because of this (oh and they have better puzzles).    each to their own though

She looks fantastic! Good on her!!

I thought she looked fantastic and good on her for doing it. In the article she mentions she doesn't think she'd have been able to do it with either of her first 2 pregnancies.
Plus you see worse on the front of other magazines.

I have one in a frame in my bedroom and I love that it reminds me of that special time. But I don't think they should be on the cover of a magazine. It's not offensive just not necessary IYKWIM. ETA: Having said that I looking at them on here.

i am surprised at myself but i thought exactly the same..man she looks awesome.. but i think naked is a bit much on the Women's weekly cover. I dont think it's about hiding away for 9 months at all..just that it's a bit much for the cover of Women's weekly:)

Kelly... she didnt give borth to them, shes a foster mum, and thats how many kids shes looked after

as for Bernice.. I think its great! I like that shes showing people its not a 'bad thing to have a body change shape... if it helps other pregnant women be happy with their bodies, then I'm all for it! I recall YEARS ago Demi Moore did the same thing, but covered in body paint, and it looked awesome! I wish I had a body as nice as that to be bold enough to do photos like that... instead I did a shadow effect semi-nude photoshoot at home! (had a belly band over my boobs, and a skirt on)

Its also something really nice to look back on in years to come and see what you really looked like.. clothes alter the shape of your body, so its not your 'real' shape kwim?

Bit OTT for Womans Weekly,.... More for the big glossy mags which the stars do .

She looks great but not a cover I want to look at all the time & she is not someone I am overly interested in or seeing on the cover with no clothes.

I agree with the comments about the photos being more for private viewing.

Little_Red I agree she would look better with some draping on her to look more classy or different lighting, looks a little desperate to me.

I agree, good on her! And its a tasteful picture!
