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!

I found those pictures sort of offensive. Especially the one with a child on the grill.

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.

I feel the same about but I am trying to pinpoint made me feel uneasy. Party, I feel it was unnecessary to put clown make up on baby. You?

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

"common myths about being a single mom" this just looked like silliness with no purpose. not what I think anyone thinks of single moms.

The baby is clearly unhappy in most of these pictures. Very tasteless!

I never thought single moms necessarily handle their children poorly. Now I do.

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.

I like it, very provocative but i believe the whole concept would benefit more from less photos. More "straight to the point" in a sense.

This is not the first "mom" to use her child in "controversial "pics for her own gain.I find these, as the others disturbing rather than art

There are so many demons visited upon solo mums, i can sort of see where these come from. The baby is too unhappy. Some are too sick.

I can understand a little single mom humor, but that was just too far, and weird.

You hit the negative stigmas/stereotypes associated with single parenting however like mentioned it is repetitive and what does clown add?

This child is going to feel wanted when it sees these pictures later in life... It's not about being a single mum, this is bad parenting.

Although I find some of the images a bit disturbing I think this more represents a depressed mother rather than a single mother

As a parent i find this images disturbing but as an art director they are KV material, just need a lot of post production for the flavour!

As a parent i find these images disturbing. As an art director i can see the message but they need at least some Lightroom editing, good!

It addressed the negative stigmas/stereotypes associated with single parenting but it is repetitive and what does the clown feature add?
