I really enjoyed this Codeswitch piece - We've Been In 'The Era Of The Booty' For A Long Time. From the article:

The same way that Angelina Jolie made "full lips" a thing, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian are being credited with making "full hips." It's black women fighting, once again, for the right to be seen in the same spaces we respect and find credible.

If the timeline in that EW article is to be believed this could have been set off by Chris Gethard telling a story/joke about eating butts back in April, resulting in a lengthy chant in the next episode of his show.

Obviously no, not true. But man that chant is the best. The rounds, the Wu-Tang reference (complete with hand signs), a kazoo, just hilarious.

Excuse me if I butt in, but...

Where is there a good back end engineer when you need one?

I'm falling behind. I'll never get to the bottom of this. Now I'm bummed out.

I'll just leave you with this thought... if a famous person is not shot twice in the butt, how can it be an ass-ass-in-ation?

If there's one thing I've learned from gifs on tumblr, it's that I don't care about butts. However, I am impressed by the seemingly infinite variety.
posted by betweenthebars at 4:25 PM on September 16, 2014


I actually have really, really high standards for what butts I find personally entrancing, probably because I'm having, like, a demisexual year or something, so I can watch the butt on that Chris Evans gif for years but that is only because he is really in the top .01% of butts, by my standards. I'm more of a shoulderblades and, to a lesser extent, upper chest person, for all genders; it is possible that my pansexuality or panromanticism or whatever the fuck I'm oriented towards is based on an overwhelming desire to watch shoulderblades of all kinds move the fabric of tight shirts around.

BUT (:D:D:D) I must say I find the whole butt zeitgeist of Tumblr culture and some of the other web communities it overlaps with HILARIOUS; even if you do not find butts appealing for sexual or even aesthetic reasons, they are wiggly jiggly pillows attached to our bodies in a way that makes sitting down more comfy, and that is amusing in itself.

It makes no sense evolutionarily for butts to be attractive. Why do we like them so much? Why do we sexualize butts and not noses? Who is the Nicki Minaj of the nose fetish scene? Is it Chelsea Peretti? Is it Adrian Brody? Is it Steve Martin in Roxanne? Am I out of guesses? TIA

Back in my callow youth, I was working alone in a pizza joint, on the night shift because I was one of the more robbery-resistant employees of the place, and as I went to pick up a small pizza with the kitchen sink assortment of toppings off the ledge by the pizza oven, the woman waiting at the counter made a little, low approving noise at me.

Mmm hmm.

I returned with the pizza and the ticket, and as I completed the transaction, the lady raised an eyebrow almost obscured by the thick plastic brow of the Cazal eyeglasses popular with glamorous black women in my county and era, and made the sound again.

"You ever model?" she asked.

I did an unsubtle whole-body harumph, because it was an entirely harumphable question to ask of a wishy-washy mid-eighties loser in a pizza joint whose sky-high mullet was at battle with the three gallons of aerosolized fryer grease hanging in the air like the weight of almost visible underachievement.

"What?" I said, and snorted.

"Turn around."

"What?" I repeated, then looked at her finger, with impeccable plastic nails of absurd length and gloss, which was signaling a little twirl. I shrugged and turned around.

"You got a black ass," she said, "and fat legs. You ever model?"

I was trying to parse exactly what she was saying when she produced a business card.

"You got a black ass and short, fat legs and all kinds of torso, baby. You ever want to model and I'll get you work."

I took the card and read the details for the Rose House of Beauty out of Hyattsville, Maryland, then looked up.

"Are you kidding me?"

"All I'm sayin' is that you'd be hard bumpin' on the runway, and I can make it happen. I run Montgomery Ward fashion fairs all over this area, baby, and that black ass will get you work."

I flushed bright red, caught in the sudden glare of the most surreal kind of flattery, and you know what? I was, and she did, and that's why I have a signature walk.

It makes no sense evolutionarily for butts to be attractive. Why do we like them so much?

Actually, according to what I've read, it does sort of make sense when you consider:

1. We are primates.
2. Lots of primates mate doggy-style, which gives a view of the butt.
3. Lots of primates also have funky butts which get even funkier when they're in heat.

Thus - butt intrigue.
