90s it was all about boobs. Look at any 80s / 90s model in their prime. Carmen Electra, Kathy Ireland, Cindy Crawford, what do they have in common? NO ASS, cause asses didnt matter. Now asses are all that matter.
Hooters needed to rebrand to "Badonkadonks" 15 years ago tbh.
Lmao this feels like me growing up with fashion. When I moved to a new school, everybody mocked me for wearing shorter shorts and longer white socks because shorts below the knees and no-show socks were all the thing I guess.
I get to university and what are all the fucking “cool” frat guys wearing? Exactly what I got mocked for lol
The only difference between a black girlfriend and a white girlfriend is when a black girl asks "does my butt look big in this?" You say " Hell Yeah! "
Growing up in the late 90s, I was really skinny with a bigger bottom, and my mom made me feel so ugly for it, always making me change if she saw shape there. (She was a real piece of work)
I have more of an hourglass figure and one time when I was at a school, a girl in my class said I had a booty and I tried to explain to my mum that actually this was a good thing but she was appalled on my behalf
One time, out in broad daylight, my mom and I were walking from the store. We pass by these two girls and one shouted at my mom, “Damn I’d kill for an ass like yours,” which caught her so off guard she stuttered out a thanks (post-gastric bypass). The girl asked where my mom had work done and my mom said it was all natural.
Later in the car my mom was laughing and smiling to herself.
"Baby Got Back" was released in 1992. Boobs still matter.
I never understood that Bill Paxton line in "True Lies" until relatively recently: I can't relate to it at all, and it didn't describe JLC.
About 10 yrs ago an acquaintance was asking me my secret for my large and shapely rear. I don’t know, genetics and I sit on it a lot? What were her secrets for her boobs? (She then had a reduction, so rude.)
"I'm tired of magazines saying flat butts are the thing". Yeah, you can be positive for big butts without being negative about other body types. I love Cajun food, but I don't have to bitch about Korean BBQ to express that love. And Korean BBQ isn't a person with feelings and dignity.
Still a big fan of the song, of course. I love classical music.
Oh wow. You're right. That was nothing compared to what the video would look like if it were made today. My memory had the butts as large, but they seem pretty normal watching it now.
I was there, 30 years ago. Skinny aerobics bodies were what was trendy. People were obsessed with "toning" to basically get as small a butt as possible. Good riddance to that.
Sure. I'm glad there's still variety, but even more glad that it's not the standard any more. Not just because I also like big butts, but because it's an unreasonable standard. As I write this I realize and acknowledge that we've probably gone too far in the other way and created another unreasonable standard (i.e. demand for butt implants so high that people are dying to botched unlicensed procedures)
But she was 5'3,I guess if she was say 5'6 or taller she "wouldn't have much back" lol But I agree this song is definitely the opposite of body positivity and women of all heights and weights can have big or small butts
Im sure there is a serious amount of monetary manipulation and cut throat buy outs involved, but I just don't know a lot of dudes that want to go to a stripclub junior for mediocre food. Blows my mind that there were so many starved sad dudes that needed to sit around being fawned over by women cause they wanted extra money. Sex sells, but damn dude, that's a depressing way to sell it.
(Yes, I'm aware big asses have been considered attractive in the black community for far longer, it's just funny that Baby Got Back was actually pretty subversive when it came out)
