Anyway, she was talking about Nicki Minaj asking her to be in the Anaconda video. People laughed. I didn't get it. Ellen led up to it some more and people were still chuckling. It was official. I was showing my age and was officially out of the loop.
Anyway, if you've never heard of Nicki or of Anaconda, it is an ode to butts. Not just any butts, mindja, HUGE butts. Unfortunately for the song though, the part I liked about it is when she sang the "Oh-My-God-Lookit-That-Butt" segments. The mere fact, however, that there was an entire song completely devoted to big butts - sang by a woman, no less - and how she won't miss a meal, kinda made me proud.
I'm not "Proud Parent of a Trumpet Player" bumper-sticker proud, but I am a little proud.
This is the first time that I can remember since the whole "gotta weigh less than an apple" body movement started, that I am seeing real, honest to goodness, asses. Not those tiny little boy shorts bottoms, but bulbous and FAMOUS large butts. I had no idea I was starting a trend when my ass expanded, but... I like to think I opened the door for Kim and Nicki and all those other famously big bottomed girls. You're welcome ladies, you're welcome...
