Watch: big asses like it big

And despite the piece’s acceptance of (or, one might say, resignation to) the fact that larger asses are a permanent part of mainstream beauty, ’s big butt praising still runs perilously close to big butt shaming throughout the piece —Instagram celebrity and big butt-haver Jen Selter is noted to be a “civilian who just happens to do an obscene amount of squats.” The magazine seems both eager to call butts a new “trend” because fashionable white women like Iggy Azalea and Miley Cyrus have embraced theirs, but also a bit put out to have the body part that was traditionally “tamed in countless exercise classes” now suddenly considered a beauty essential.

“I think it might be a generational thing. The boys in the office were saying ‘We don’t get it, guys don’t want girls with big booties, it’s out of proportion,’ but my boyfriend, he’s like, ‘Oh it’s great you’re doing this program’.”

Your muscles need fuel to grow, and protein is a key component in building a big ass. Incorporate high-quality protein sources like chicken, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins. Don’t forget complex carbs and healthy fats to maintain energy.

Let’s be honest: Big booty women are having a moment right now. Maybe it’s thanks to the Kardashians, or the wondrous invention of yoga pants, but it seems like people are finally accepting that having some extra junk in the trunk is a pretty awesome idea.

They were also very frantic to see a woman trying to pull jeans up her thighs and buttocks. I guess they get a lot of satisfaction from watching a big ass get into jeans that actually fit. They like to see something holding up those jeans.
