A J-LO BOOTY FOR CHRISTMAS ?

A few years ago, I was watching a stand up comic show on TV.  The guy was giving advices to men in the audience about their relationship with women or girl friends.  He was inviting them to pay attention to what their darling was saying because there are many pitfalls in the questions they ask, even when they have an innocent look on their face.  For example, when your wife or your girl friend ask if you think that she is a little bit too fat, don't answer, said the comic with his arms up and with terror in his eyes.  "That's a trap !  Shut your mouth !"  Well, it seems that times have changed.  Back then, women were obsessed by their weight.  They wanted to be stick-thin like their favorites top models.  They would have killed you if you have told them that they had a big booty !  Now, the trend have changed.  Big is beautiful !  It seems like every female wants a booty !  That's crazy !  They go to their doctor and tell him that they want a booty like the one Jennifer Lopez has (photo), or the Kim Kardashian one, or the Nicki Minaj model...  They are willing to pay $ 10 000 and up to $ 13 000 to get what they want.  If you ask the woman of your life what she wants for Christmas, maybe she will beg you to give her a J-Lo booty ! 

To have a bigger butt, women can do anything, these days : working hard in gym classes, have a plastic surgery, buy padded panties.  They are happy when men turn around and look twice at their plump posterior.  A few years ago, a man would have done that and he would have been slapped in the face by feminists !  According to some psychologists, Latin American influences are the cause for this new popular "fashion".  The last severe economic recession has something to do with it.  In uncertain times, people look for security and men are attracted to women's hips and the buttocks for security and reassurance.  Women respond to this.

Well, I don't know about that "deep psychological" reason.  I think a better explanation for the "big derriere" phenomenon is the influence of pop stars like Rihanna, Beyonce and even the new comer Iggy Azalea, for the younger females.  Jennifer Lopez was one of the first show business stars to stand up and react to critics who thought that her generous curves were not "ideal".  «There's nothing wrong with me or my shape or who I am», J-Lo told them, «you're the one with the problem !»  Today, "Jen" thinks that she was right : «...when you can really believe that, all of a sudden other people start believing too.»  And they did in dead, if you consider the present popularity of bigger butts !

At 45, and after giving birth to twins, a few years ago, it's a struggle for J-Lo to stay in good shape.  How she looks is always on her mind but it's more difficult to control her weight now.  «Mentally, I'm always thinking about that.  I'm OK looking this way, but at the same time that very ambitious, determined girl inside me is like, "Come on, let's be in the best shape ever and really show everybody."  Then the other side of me thinks : "Let's just relax on the beach chair".»  Many folks did not agree though, some months ago, when they saw her showing and shaking her booty with Azalea in the video created for her "Booty" song.  Jen was angry.  She said that it's not because she is a mom and in her mid-forties that she can not be sexy.

If Lopez was a precursor of the big butt revolution, the mania was really started seven years ago by the TV show «Keeping up With the Kardashians».  Kim (pics above), the most famous member of the family, frequently posts shots of her backside to her 21 million Instagram followers.  Recently she even posed naked for a magazine.  Last year, the desire for big buns intensified with the release of the music video «Anaconda» that showed Minaj in a pink thong.  Within 24 hours, it was viewed a little less than 20 million times, a record for music video site VEVO.  Since that day it has racked up more than 300 million views !  And the song has been on the top of the Billboard charts too, right behind another anthem for curvy women, Meghan Trainor's «All About That Bass.»  «I'm bringing booty back», Trainor sings.

Would you believe that butt enlargement is such a rage that women are dying for it ?  Yes, it's true.  Some are so desperate for cheap options that they risk their lives, going to charlatans that inject silicone, and even bathroom caulk, into their buttocks.  Deaths have been reported in Miami, New York, Las Vegas and Jackson, Mississippi.  Other patients who had this kind of surgeries found themselves with lumps, bumps and uneven butt cheeks.  Those who are afraid of plastic surgery can try to "enhance" their derriere by attending workout classes or buying workout videos.  The demand is strong.  There is lot of money to be made for those who can offer services or products to satisfy this fast growing clientele.
