I suppose it is possible that it derives in part from the historical practices of some (very) elite and privileged women, though? I don't think I can afford that much milk, however.

Inflation is real! https://www.huffpost.com/entry/whats-the-deal-with-milk-bath-maternity-photos_n_5af05ba8e4b0c4f19324b8f2 Older article from 2018. Some quotes: "Photographer Daisy Beatty told HuffPost she first came across the photographic trend a year-and-a-half ago and immediately started offering it to her clients." We can start by blaming her. "Google searches turn up milk bath maternity pictures going back to 2014, and a 2017 Women’s Day article said that some have credited photographer Tiffany Burke with starting the trend. The rise of milk bath maternity photography also seems to have come after the concept of postpartum herbal baths hit the U.S. photography scene." And her. There's also a reference to Annie Leibovitz doing it in 1984 with Whoopi, but that's an entirely different context and not related to maternity photos. And then other references way earlier than that, in film. So for the current social media trend...apparently it's been a thing since the 2010s and we've been under a rock. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because she's the only one of Henry's wives most people have heard of? 7 minutes ago, Bagnu said: You ruling over Egypt....Scyll...I just had to check the black tape over my webcam again..... lolwut?
