There was a great article on Salon.com yesterday discussing Ricki Lake’s new movie, “The Business of Being Born”:
Ricki Lake’s “awesome” vagina
The actress and former talk show host takes us on a magical mystery tour through natural childbirth in her new documentary.
By Rebecca Traister
Also, someone on Mothering.com posted a link to the whole Ricki Lake segment on “The View” from the other day.
Check them both out! :)
Stumble it!
K says:
Great read on Ricki.
By the way, laughed my arse off over this line:
“This isn’t Angelina Jolie traipsing through Kenya with an economist.”
HA!!
And this, so utterly ironic:
“Her mother had smoked throughout her pregnancies and been knocked out for her deliveries. Her father is a pharmacist.”
You’d think that w/a hubby who deals in/with health would help the wife put the kibosh on the tobacco poisoning. Of course “back in those days,” from what i hear, peeps “didn’t know” what harm could come from smoking while preggers. Still…
Go, Ricki.
Loved that story, Amy, thanks!
