You looked so cute in your photo yesterday, I'm sure you'll look great in the magazine, too!

Girl, you always look good in photos. Do not sweat it. You are also a tiny pregnant person (you know, except for the belly), so the women you hate will be looking at you in disgust because they were fifty lbs. heavier than you when *they* were preggers. And they still had pockmarked skin and really old makeup.

My author photo? It's going to be the same photo I use on Real Girl Beauty. The one I made Real Boy take in my bathroom because Ooh! Great hair day! Am I wearing foundation? Nope. Just bronzer and mascara. In my *author photo*. Rock Star Novelist I am not. By which I mean--the background in my photo? Yeah, that's my shower curtain.

Tell Jason that NOW is the time for the lying to begin. We just want compliments from now on.

You look fabu in all your pictures, I am sure you look gorgeous in these and all the people you hate will hate you back : )

I can't even begin to count the number of breakdowns I've had while pregnant due to bad hair days. I think my husband seriously debated shaving my head in my sleep so he wouldn't have to hear any more of my crap. There was one day though (one! In my entire 18 months of pregnant experience, just one!) where I had a GOOD hair day and I made him take me on a date even though we hadn't planned on it at all. My friends, the Good Hair Days must not be wasted.

Ha! Amalah, you crack me up--you always look muy fantastico in ALL your pictures, so I'm sure you look petitely, pregnantly adorable in the ones from the photo shoot. And don't sweat it--when I first saw the casual pics taken at my wedding, I almost cried b/c they were so horrible. I figured there was no way the photographer could have done any better because I just looked too rancid. Got the pictures back? And loved them. Professional photographers, with professional fancy cameras, can catch the best shots.

...now I'm wishing I had a subscription to the Washingtonian...must find a store in Chicago that sells it... You promise to tell us when your celebritydom hits the newsstands, right?

Ooooh! Which issue will it be in?

Don't feed your baby roach traps. Ant traps ONLY.

I'm sure you looked fabulous in your photos, because from what I've seen you always look fabulous. I look like crap compared to you, and I'm not even pregnant.

Your use of FAT HOT HAM pleases me.

If you hated me and I saw a picture of you looking as skinny as you are a MONTH before your due date, I would TOTALLY hate you back! I already do hate you b/c you are so adorable! People will be so jealous that you are so skinny and aren't going to give a rats ass what your hair looks like! Sorry, might be getting assvice-ish. Please, either scan the photo you have already and/or scan the actual article and/or post a link when it comes out. Something so us non-Washington-area people can read all about you! (other subject...would PPB diaper bag cost me an arm and leg?)

I didn't read the comments above me, as I'm very lazy today. Someone else probably asked this:

Since most of us do not live in Washington, could you scan your picture and/or the article in for our reading pleasure?

I don't believe I can scan the picture I have now -- I didn't ask, but since it's technically part of the magazine's shoot, I'm going to wait until the actual article comes out.

It'll probably be in the October issue, which will hit newstands in late September. I'll be sure to link and/or scan everything so the non-Washingtonians can see it if the magazine says that's cool.

But you know, anyone who CAN buy the magazine should so they will see the awesome circulation powah of amalah.com and maybe let me write articles for them and stuff. Because they are awesome and have I sucked up to them enough?

(P.S. Please choose a pretty picture and maybe Photoshop the assy hair?)

I'm sure you will be beee-yuuuuu-ti-ful. But please let us all know when the article is published because we can't wait to read it. Oh wait. I scrolled up through the comments are you will. Duh.

I'm one of those people that probably need "assvice". heehee

I was all about the roach trap, too. I thought for sure they'd be all over you for that one.

And what kind of photographer drags a pregnant woman OUTSIDE for a photo shoot in August? Is this guy a freelancer? Was there no cool coffee shop with AC nearby? How about a nice boring one with your computer?

I delivered in July, and I have to admit I'm jealous of your ability to refrain from kicking his ass.

Me again...woop de freekin' do!

Forgot to ask if the furniture you bought for baby's room has a 'name/brand'? I think the change table thingy is awesome and so is the chifferobe!!

Elizabeth Arden 'Mandarin Spice' lipgloss looks goddamn luscious on practically everybody, and the only make-up over $2 I own. Worth every penny, and still only $14.

Oh so many wonderful things to look forward to with the pregnancy. Have I told you how glad I am that I have you to experience them for me first and then I can read about them as told from your perfectly snarky and kickass view point.

Can't wait to see the article and the photo, it can't POSSIBLY be as bad as you make it sound. You are far too much of a cute precious tiny pregnant Amalah with big Babalah-only belly for it to be that bad.

The baby won't eat roach traps. He will, however, lick the carpet of the dressing room while you're trying on clothes because even though you're not pregnant, nothing fits right, ever again, necessitating lots of shopping trips. He won't be in the stroller cuz he will have crawled out of the stroller. And if he isn't allowed to crawl out of the stroller, he will shriek his little head off til you give him what he wants Please God, just let Mommy try on these pants, please?? Please? etc.

i bet the pix will be great.

hey pretty pregnant lady - SCAN THE DAMN PHOTO FOR THE REST OF US TO SEE! heh.

i mean, voyeurs-r-us, you know?

Hell to the yeah! Congratulations! :)

P.S. I only saw one episode of that Bobby Brown show. I laughed and cried at the same time. When did Whitney Houston become simply a sideshow in her freakshow circus?

Okay, first of all, it is ALWAYS okay to make fun of pregnant Britney Spears pictures. In fact, it's always okay to make fun of ANY Britney Spears pictures, since it appears as if she's trying to give Whitney Houston a run for her drug money.

And second, HOW DARE YOU tell us that you have in your posession a polaroid from the photo shoot. Do you think we're stupid or something? We allllll know you just bought a scanner not too long ago. So....? What are you waiting for?
