"I like big butts and I can not lie . . .
Hmm, lately I find myself humming the old Sir Mix-A-Lot tune every
time I see a beauty ad. Oh, the mighty pendulum seems to be in full
swing. Note to skinny, waif like models – grab a sandwich – Big
Butts are in. Last year J. Lo launched jeans that had room for "junk
in the trunk." This year, Jessica Simpson has launched a plus-size
line. You gotta love it!
The Dove "Real Beauty Campaign" has sparked many a heated debate
about the role of "real women" in advertisements. And now those
voluptuous ladies are featured on the cover of People magazine.
Damn, that song keeps playing in my head – LOL
Wait there's more, Nike has joined the ranks. Its campaign
celebrates women's "big butts, thunder thighs and tomboy knees."
Real women with real bodies- well, it's about time. Looks like Kate
Moss is heading to the unemployment line.
Maybe, women have had enough. Maybe, they are tired are starving
themselves to try look like air-brushed waifs. Maybe, they are tired
of the rollercoaster ride of yo-yo dieting. Maybe, they just want to
keep it real. And for that, we say "AMEN!"
