Macy's in New York has welcomed "big-bottomed mannequins" to show off fashions, and this warrants a Reuters story. In the photograph above, Ecko Red jeans are one of quite a few brands that are part of this "serious sociological trend that is positive for retailers and customers in that the tyranny of the undernourished perfect model is over" (quote from Rich Rollison, whose company Lifestyle Forms and Display created the mannequins). Of course, there are obligatory mentions of J.Lo, Beyonce, and Sir Mix-A-Lot, yet none of Big Bottom from Spinal Tap. At any rate, Gothamist is very supportive of more realistic mannequins. We're still upset with Toccara's loss on America's Next Top Model.





I must give credit where credit is due - Tien came up with the title.
and i must credit sir mix a lot...
that or the ladies with the round bottoms.
dont forget Spinal Tap:
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah
Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?
I'd noticed in the past few months that a lot of local women's clothing stores (esp. of the risque variety) had started using these new booty-full mannequins. A lot of times they'd even have the mannequins asses facing out of the display case so you wouldn't miss it. Now that it's even the case at Macy's, there's no denying that big butts are here to stay. Holla!

And let us not forget the words of the immortal Freddy Mercury when he said, "Fat bottom girls, you make the rockin' world go round."
It's about time they bring in that badonkadonk. Gotta get with the times.
is there nowhere in america to escape the sight of a big fat ass?
Dear God, Wisconsin plus sizes come the the svelte city. :-( .
nice. http://nytimes.com/2004/11/14/fashion/14MANN.html
hardly a plus size. those mannequins have round bottoms and narrow waists. they're just ethnic shapes, honey. surprise. not everyone in new england is a self-flagellating, Aryan, puritan who gets a masochistic boner from the modern day torture device called the treadmill.
