Everyone's talking about my butt!
My day of booty made it on to HuffPo (yay for my before/after pics being broadcast to a bazillion times more people!) and it's getting some great responses. among my favorites:
"Fake booties, huh? So, when a guy lands a bootylicious woman, takes her to bed to bounce on that big rump, and it turns out to be fake, what then?" - Pete
"So happy big bootys are back in style. Good news for us girls who got it. For a few years big ass was out and flat ass was in. Better flaunt it while you can ladies. Next year will big ass will be shameful and we'll be subjected to People's "Celebritys with out of control butts" issue." - sizzla
"Brothers been loving "Big Butts" for centuries, it's just now acceptable in mainstream society. I think those rail thin, skeletal, bone racks, they parade up and down catwalks from France to Italy are disgusting. White, Black, Brown, it doesn't matter, nothing is sexier than a full figured, curvy, thick(in the right places), bootylicious woman. You can keep the Paris Hiltons, and Nicole Richies of the world, I don't want to do anything but give them a damn sandwich." - BigMike75
"Women need to wake up and realize that men are just NOT as obsessed as women are with THEIR bodies. YOU'RE being conned. Most men are put off by skeletal bodies. We're really pretty easy to please and actually PREFER someone who eats now and then. Everyone starving on a diet is always grouchy and too many women are getting all their exercise in the gym." - XRepublican
"Booty booty booty rockin' everywhere!" - ALMJr
"What about men's butts? Nothing is worse than a guy with a flat or flabby ass." - DaphnesDad
And...in a bizarre move, the comments turned racial:
"Tries to have rhythm when they dance... tries to rap or speak slang, takes the influences of urban cities for fashion, tans to look darker, and now fake plump booties...but they don't like black people in America...this mess always leaves me rotflmao.." - Testtubebaby
At least my butt is sparking dialogue and really, that's all I can ask of it.

I wouldn't worry about the last one, Leslie. This person's argument has no merit...it's not like black women are the only people with shapely booties, so why would a fake mean you were trying to copy them? He's being just as stereotypical (rap, slang, etc) as some racists. Testtubebaby needs to jump back in the tube :)
"too many women are getting all of their exercise in the gym"! ROFL!! So true. Although I gotta say (TMI alert) that all that gym time has really built my stamina for all that "extracurricular" exercise.
Great topic Leslie! And your pic? Took me right back to 8th grade. I had a friend named Becky. She did not appreciate the joke:)
Your butt is famous. Be careful your butt doesn't get a big head. It probably should have its own agent.

LOL. I think I'm in love!
Dear BigMike75,
I think I love you.

You deserve the attention...it's a great post! (But yeah, it must be kind of surreal to have people talkin' about your butt!) :)
