I agree about those people who make seats for planes and buses... they may be able to get more seats in the bus, but how many people can actually sit in the seats without a) overflowing it and b) getting a cheap thrill from the edge?!

A woman wanted a boob enhancement job, but her husband wasn't prepared to pay for it.

"Rub them with toilet tissue" he said. "It worked on your bum..."

There's this thing called exercise, when properly done, that will give a person a nice rounded backside. Cheaper than surgery, too.

Big bums never went out of style down here in Bubbaland either. It seems to be part of the marriage contract. "Okay, honey, you're married now. You don't have to be cute anymore. You can let your ass grow."

Wide butts are a primary factor in the rate at which WalMart seems to be building their Super WalMart stores in the southeast. It's not that they really need more room to display merchandise. They need more room to provide wider lanes so more than one collard-fed ass at a time can walk down the cereal aisle.

Last night on Oz telly, there was an episode on "Sunshine" in a programme that does some very amusing looking back at "The Way We Were" in Australia.

I was slightly surprised at the 1960s and 70s beach scenes - which included both bikini'd young women and "free beach" nudity - coz they mainly looked quite solid (NOT fat though!) - AND healthy with it!!

The same scene on our beaches in our post-"Heroin-Chic" times, would be full of far more slender (many almost anorexic) bodies held up as The Norm!!

I'd almost forgotten that, not so very long ago, it used to be QUITE preferable, NOT to be dead-skinny!!!

Bring It On Again!!

Cheers!

Well I hope this applies to men too... or do we have to still go for liposuction?

British women cast aside the skinny look in quest for a superior posterior
By Jacqui Goddard in Miami and Nicola Davidson
(Filed: 29/08/2004)


For years, men have known to bite their lips dutifully and shake their heads convincingly when asked the classic question: "Does my bum look big in this?"

They need lie no more. The answer women now want to hear, it seems, is "Yes".

Buttock augmentation surgery has soared in popularity, as women seek to plump up their rumps and prove that bigger is better. Plastic surgeons attribute the trend partly to the popularity of ample-reared, "bootylicious" pop divas such as Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles.

"It seems to be this year's 'it' surgery and Jennifer Lopez is the poster-girl," said Dr Leroy Young, director of the American Society for Plastic Surgery's Emerging Trends Taskforce, which has recorded a five-fold increase in buttock augmentation operations in the past 12 months.

The trend has also reached Britain, with a substantial rise in patients anxious to have the surgery. Adrian Richards, a consultant plastic and cosmetic surgeon practising in Harley Street, said that four or five years ago he was never asked to perform the surgery but now increasing numbers of women sought augmentation.

"The reason for the change is that our perception of the ideal body shape is changing," he said. "Patients want a rounder and fuller posterior. Ten years ago it was fashionable to look slim, be small busted and have no bottom, the body ideal now is more rounded and voluptuous."

Dr Young in America agreed. He said: "People like to emulate celebrities and women like that well-endowed look. Clothes these days are cut to show the figure very anatomically and they just don't look right if you don't fill them out. Buttock augmentation has moved from being a fringe procedure into the mainstream, it's reached a tipping point."

Nearly 4,000 Americans underwent underwent buttock augmentation last year, compared with 614 two years ago. The procedure involves implanting bags of silicone, or quantities of fat removed from elsewhere in the body, into the buttocks to make them more pronounced. About 90 per cent were female, some of them 50-year-olds on a mission to turn back time and others as young as 21 and anxious to reach more "bootylicious" proportions.

The implants used are the same as those used for breast implants. State-of-the art buttock implants are made with soft silicone. Recently, there has been an an increase in the use of saline implants, which are made from salt water. These, however, are harder and firmer than natural bodyflesh and can be uncomfortable.

The method of inserting and positioning the implant depends on patient preferences, anatomy and the surgeon's recommendation. The implants are placed into each buttock area through a single incision overlying the tailbone. The buttock muscle (gluteus maximus) is lifted up and a pocket is made just large enough for the implant. Having one's gluteus maximised does not come cheap. Costs typically range between £3,800 to £5,500, similar to a facelift or breast enlargement.

Nor is it the most comfortable of cosmetic procedures; patients are warned that they probably won't be able to sit down for around 10 days after surgery.

Suzanna Drake, 34, from Stanmore, London, had the procedure last year after reading about it on a holiday in America. She never felt comfortable with her bottom and was surprised at how many plastic and cosmetic surgeons in Britain performed the surgery.

Ms Drake is delighted with the results. "I never used to walk around the beach, I would dread the summer. I had no bottom and I felt so unfeminine. Now I can wear jeans and my confidence has soared."

Lynne, a 40-year-old American who had the surgery last year, agreed: "My butt has always just been really flat and oh my goodness, the difference now is unbelievable. It's the shape, the contouring, the slope. It's cut years off my age - I look like I have an 18-year-old's butt. It's firm, it's tight, it looks good."

Surgeons say that the trend for buttock augmentation has been stimulated by television programmes that revolve around cosmetic surgery, such as the drama Nip/Tuck and Fox television's The Swan, in which 17 "ugly ducklings" are given three months to get themselves to beauty queen level assisted by a small army of plastic surgeons.
