Bad Mommy: I Explore Common Myths About Being A Single Mother

ADVERTISEMENT

In our photoshoot “Bad Mommy,” we again teamed up with Philadelphia sideshow performer, clown babe and single mom Reverend MacKenzie Moltov. We spent a day exploring the common misperceptions of being an artist and a mom… narcissistic, neglectful, and completely sexy.

    Nothing wrong with exploring a controversial subject, but I find these photos poorly done. They're repetitive, crass and feel contrived.

    I completely agree with this statement. These otherwise interesting concepts are poorly executed. This is not art, this is kitsch.

    What has smoking or drinking to do with being a single mum? Babies dont act- and this child is not happy on many pics. Hate that fact!

    Yeah a picture made to look as if you're burning your baby on a grill, burn marks and all is no kind of art. What a sicko, poor kid.

    I think they are interesting, but not exactly my cup of tea. They do raise awareness of sterotyping for young single mothers.

    you need to do some editing. some are unnecessarily repetitive and others definitely need to be sorted differently.

    These photos show a side that maybe lots of Moms feel. Not a fan but changing your mind on these photos alone seems quite narrow-minded.
