While there are no further photo sneak peeks for the W magazine issue that features photos of Angelina Jolie and the Jolie-Pitt children taken by Brad Pitt, People has a preview of some of the interview Angelina gave.
One of the biggest changes Angelina made in her life, she said, is deciding to get pregnant and have children with someone, since she had only ever intended to adopt. Ironically, her desire for biological children came about when she watched Brad Pitt interacting with Maddox and Zahara – when she realized that he would never see them as being different, she said, “I suppose I just looked at him and loved him and just felt open to (getting pregnant). I suddenly wanted to. It’s one of those things you can’t explain.”
According to the article, some of the photos taken by Brad are intimate to the point of baring some of her body, and she was perfectly comfortable to do so, even at just two weeks post-partum, a time when many women might prefer not to be seen in an intimate way:
“I’m with a man who’s evolved enough to look at my body and see it as more beautiful, because of the journey it has taken and what it has created. He genuinely sees it that way. So I genuinely feel even sexier.”
But my favorite part of all? When she says, “I do think that I’m in a good partnership now. I think it just needed to be the right man.”
Awww!
This issue of W can come quickly enough!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A magazine cover photo of Angelina Jolie breast-feeding one of her newborn twins may have turned the superstar actress into a role model for new mothers.
The photo, taken by Jolie’s partner Brad Pitt, will adorn the November issue of W magazine. Other family pictures taken by Pitt in the weeks after the birth in July of twins Vivienne Marcheline and Leon Knox will appear inside.
“I think it is fabulous. Seeing a celebrity like Angelina Jolie breast-feed can be a role model to encourage women to make a choice that is wonderful for their baby,” said Andi Silverman, mom of two and author of “Mama Knows Breast.”
“Breasts are used to sell all sorts of products, so to see them used the way nature intended can only be a great thing,” Silverman told Reuters.
……Jolie’s global influence as a style-setter and through her humanitarian travels and support of kids in third world countries, ensured the impact of the photo of her special moments with her baby.
“The response from moms we have seen is that if someone as popular, beautiful and together as Angelina is breast-feeding her children, it inspires other women to do so themselves,” said Dr Shannon Fox, a psychotherapist with the http://www.Momlogic.com website.
Little is seen in the picture of the act of breast-feeding. It shows Jolie smiling, while a tiny hand is just visible at bottom of the frame.
La Leche League International, the world’s oldest breast-feeding support organization, said the photo was particularly welcome as Jolie has twins.
“Mothers of twins report it takes a lot of time, effort and physical energy to breast-feed. I think the picture is beautiful,” said La Leche League International spokeswoman Jane Krouse.

La Leche League International, the world’s oldest breast-feeding support organization, applauds Jolie’s apparent decision to be photographed nursing on the cover of W.
“Breast-feeding in public reveals a whole lot less than what has been revealed on the red carpet. … I think we do need more role models like Angelina Jolie willing to be photographed and say, ‘Hey look, it can be done, it oughta be done,’” La Leche spokeswoman Jane Crouse said.

Carrie said on Oct 10, 2008 at 3:17 pm “Are we surprised by the sort of negative reception the cover is getting in the mainstream press? I am”.
Carrie – what sort of negative reactions are being reported in the newspapers? As I have not heard or seen any myself.
Are the papers carrying on because – shock horror – you can see part of her breast?
Given the hoo-haw over Janet Jacksons nipple, nothing would surprise me anymore from the USA. It seems guns and violence are perfectly acceptable but dare to show a part of the human body and everyone has a mini meltdown!
