[edit] Photo
Is there any way to use photoshop or gimp to eliminate the yellow digits from the lead pic? 24.54.208.177 22:38, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- Just crop that edge and maybe some of the top/bottom/right too, keeping the figure centralised as much as possible of course. That will not only remove somewhat unnecessary details around the edge but will also make the thumbnail version of it seem bigger. Certainly easier for the reader.

[edit] Positive connotations
um, I wouldn’t say there’s a “positive” connotation this phrase at all, so much as the examples here are parody or “reclaiming.” Although, yes, being barefoot can be relaxing (especially in hippie-dip places like Mill Valley), I doubt the straightforward assertion that “barefoot and pregnant” is a good thing is at work here, so much as a sly recontextualization. —Marin Talib 20:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trimming out some spam
I trimmed a pair of links that were too commercial sites with little or no real connection to the topic (a spa that happens to be named "barefoot and pregnant" and shoes for pregnant women. Some of the other links can probably go as well, but I'm not feeling that bold. I'd suggest we trim it down to only sociological-type discussions and ditch the song lyrics as well as some of the other boarderline-spam. Wintermut3 05:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bah!
I heard Kirsty Allsop use this phrase on a TV programme and I thought it was just a cute phrase she'd improvised. And now years later I stumble across this article. That's spoiled it. You bastards. (Mind you, the phrase is, I would say, unknown in the UK - obviously I hadn't heard of it - so maybe it really is a coincidence. She certainly didn't seem to be implying anything negative by it.) --80.0.130.16 14:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
