i'm assuming that photo was taken by an unfortunate passing stranger that babs aggressively thrust her camera at, thus she didn't have a huge selection of photos to choose from, as otherwise i would be surprised that this was th eone she chose to share. for a start, she's photographed directly from the front - and we all know how insecure babs feels about her appearance when photos aren't taken from a high-angle - plus she obviously didn't have time to arrange the kids into position at each side, perfectly posed to conceal her gunt! it's very telling that that particular photo didn't earn itself a permanent potsition on her grid and was presumably only shared in her stories because she needed it as part of the ad.
the way that the kids are nestled into steve and she's standing at such a distance from ethan that the image could easily be cropped to remove her from the family photo - as opposed to most photos, where ethan or steve are on the sidelines. it is heartbreaking the way she's positioned herself so far away from ethan - when she's usually clutching the golden child as tightly as possible - but also clearly highlights her and steve's loveless marriage, as the two don't look like they're in a relationship - they look like they can hardly bear to touch each other! it's such a painfully awkward photo - as though a manically-smiling woman in toddler sunglasses has unexpectedly crashed a nice family photo of a dad with his kids!
fixed it for ya, babs. a lovely photo of steve and the kids!
