I think the first real change
in women’s body image came when JLo turned it butt-style. That was the first
time that having a large-scale situation in the back was part of mainstream
American beauty. Girls wanted butts now. Men were free to admit that they had
always enjoyed them. And then, what felt like moments later, boom—Beyoncé
brought the leg meat. A back porch and thick muscular legs were now widely
admired. And from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized
that all shapes and sizes are beautiful.
Ah ha ha. No. I’m totally
messing with you. All Beyoncé and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of
attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected
to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless
Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs,
small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a
nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person
closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was
made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.

What passes for "beautiful" in Western culture is a laughable tragedy. Plastic surgeons are making a killing with the artificial assets of the rich & famous (to include those who want to be). I don't think Kim Kardashian is beautiful. Never did. I liken her to a mall mannequin - plastic & brainless. Beauty is natural, graceful & intelligent. It bubbles to the surface to become a feast for our eyes, hearts & minds (not just eyes!!). And from experience, there is nothing better than having a deep confab with a natural woman who knows what she is about...You bring these types of women home to mama to show-off to let her know you have good taste. Who will be proud to bring Kim K. home to mama? Only the blind & foolish, like Kanye West. Kanye will get his sight & sense back again after Kim is finished with him and moves on to the next black athlete or entertainer. That aint beautiful, that's naked opportunism. Let's call it what it is. Between Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda video, Iggy Azalea’s bending over and grabbing her kitty, and Jennifer Lopez’s aptly-named video for her song “Booty,” the rear end is having a moment. Kardashian, ever the opportunist, no doubt surveyed the gluteus landscape and wanted in on the cultural “conversation.” Well, she got our attention again. Call her a marketing/branding genius if you like, but don't call her beautiful.
