    Salma Hayek Lifts Her Shirt

    Posted Tuesday, February 10, 2009 9:48 PM | By Hanna Rosin
    Salma Hayek.Shout out to Broadsheet for noticing this video of Salma Hayek breast-feeding a sick African 1-week-old. I always want to make fun of dear Salma, only because she starred in my least favorite movie ever—Dogma. And the Angelina bitch-fight jokes write themselves. But, in fact, the short clip is quite moving, because it scrambles our fixed proto-Victorian image of who is the mother and who is the wet nurse. Unlike, say, the infamous Alex Kuczynski photo in the story about her adventures in surrogate parenting. Plus, Salma is quite humble and practical about the thing, not aiming for the Madonna pose Angelina likes to strike.
