The Reality of The Big Bodacious Booty

Some time ago I was talking with a friend, a friend whom I would consider to be very bottom heavy with a round ample booty, our conversation wandered to the topic of our assets or shall I say our asses.  She told me that I have a nice, unoffensive butt.  I was offended.  Okay, I know that I don't have the typical 'black girl' booty and I don't have a lot of junk in my trunk, but I am okay with that.  I am confident that I don't need a wide load to get through in life and I know that a big ass won't help me to succeed in getting sales for my book.
However, I am perplexed with the obsession that people have with women's asses.  I just don't get it at all.  I can see men being turned on by the size of a woman's breast because men don't have breasts, but everyone has an ass.  Some asses are just larger than other asses, but an ass is an ass and some men make them selves look like an ass when one walks by.  Look at the majority of the music videos that are on television, you rarely get to see the girls face because the camera instantly pans to her ass that she proudly pops, shakes, drops, wiggles to the beat of the music.  That is fine if that is how she chooses to make her money, however there is a different reality that I think about when I see women shake their ass for change.
Many people know who the video vixens with the big asses are, Keytoy Jackson, Buffie the Body and Melissa Ford are to name a few, but the first big booty lived a life much different than that of the video models of today live.  The vixen was taken from her home, put in shackles and put on display as a freak due to the size of her large ass and ample breasts.  This woman's name was Saartjie Baartman better known as the Hottentot Venus.

Hottentot Venus

Saarjite died at the age of twenty-six and her body was dismembered, her elongated vaginal lips were set in wax and put on display.  Her brain was removed,and it to was placed on display and her large buttocks was also placed on display just as she spent the last few years of her life, on display for all to see.   Saarjite was a Khosian woman from South Africa whose large buttocks was actually caused by steatopygia. She lived part of her life in Cape Town as a slave to Dutch farmers, but the slave masters promised her that she would become wealthy if she allowed them to take her to England and put on exhibition.  She agreed and left for London in 1810.  In England Saarjite was put on display as people from all over would come to see her large butt and in hopes to see the elongated labia minora (which she refused to allow people to see).  
Saarjite was displayed until people grew tired of the show and she ended up having to support herself by prostitution.  She died in 1815 at the young age of 26 and her genitalia were placed on display until 1974.  Saarjite did not live the life of your typical video vixen, but in her own right she was the original vixen, earning money for putting her body on display.  

I don't hate on girls with the big booty, hell it made Kim Kardashian popular, but I hate when they think that is all that they have to show.  I don't care about having a large ass, my ass is not what makes me, my mind makes me and that is what attracts people to me.  I know that as we age gravity tends to play a cruel trick on our bodies that it doesn't play with our minds.  Having a big booty is nothing new, people having been walking around with fat asses for centuries so in my mind it is silly to think that having one makes you a part of some sort of elite big booty club or something.  In my mind having a large ass with a tiny waist makes it a little harder to find jeans that fit and I'm sorry the new wide-leg Joe's Jeans don't come in Dunk.  

In conclusion, for all of the ladies with the junk in their trunk more power to you just don't let your booty be all that you are.  For all of my fellow pancakes, hold your heads up high and be happy that we can find jeans that fit us and don't have to worry about waking around with apple's on our ass cheeks !

TTFN!
