Large rear end !

Just seen in the paper Kim Kardashian (whoever she is) promoting a very large bottom. She almost looks as if she has a table strapped to her rear.

What I want to know is how she lies down in bed. hmm

LOL, poor girl, I still like her bum, and all the other bits. (assuming I looking at the same pics as you are)

Pettalus, you are right, men are not warm, sympathetic and supportive to their own.

KK has a beautiful face but that rear end doesn't look real - maybe she's had buttock implants.

Even the serious newspapers can't get enough of her, and her arse .... they're everywhere!

I read (in the hairdressers of course) that she had buttock implants - sounds as if she needs a brain implant! although I think I could donate some raw material if its needed.

As some have already said some cultures enjoy a large bottom but also in some peoples the curvature of the spine means that the derriere protrudes a little more sharply and the base of the spine is more curved inwards.

Just had a look at the pics on pompa's link. Generally I think KK is a good antidote to the cult of looking very thin. She gives young girls a different message to the one which leads them to dangerously starve themselves.

gillybob, are you really disgusted by a fat arse?

pompa, actually, I think younger men are much better than previous generations at being supportive to other men. I observe it in my three grandsons who are aged 25 downwards.

Recently, I heard one of them lending a sympathic ear (on the phone) to a friend who was obviously having girlfriend troubles. I admit he did become impatient after about five minutes and said he had to go. A woman could have gone on for hours! smile

Is her daughter really called North West?! [confusedshock

They are all slightly odd, those people. hmm

Riverwalk Fri 21-Nov-14 09:31:45

It's not really a different message though, is it petallus.

It's still all about young women making it to the front pages and fame and fortune by virtue of having enormous (false) breasts and bums - KK doesn't sing or dance, she just appears!

petallus Fri 21-Nov-14 09:43:14

It's saying you can be attractive and famous without being skeletally thin (KK has saddlebags I notice).

Whether or not women should be judged so much on their bodies is a different issue.

As one who had been fighting on and off most of my adult life against the slow increase in inches and kilos, I have to say that the idea of actually paying somebody to add to those two personal statistics is a mystery to me. I have seen pictures of m/s KK displaying her ample and remarkable assets. Do I find them attractive? Well, they certainly hit you between the eyes, so to speak. I am all for curves as opposed to straight lines, but I do think that things are best kept in proportion. I theorize that if one bit of you (or perhaps even three) is out of scale it tends to spoil the rest, but I am quite prepared to continue my observations with the aim of proving that theory!

pompa Fri 21-Nov-14 10:03:52

Dead right Papascar, we have to keep an open mind any continue our observations.

pompa Fri 21-Nov-14 10:04:24

any and

petallus Fri 21-Nov-14 10:06:29

papa and pompa, thank you for your selfish dedication to researching this issue! grin

petallus Fri 21-Nov-14 10:07:28

Oh, meant to say selfless not selfish.

My unconscious must have sneaked in when I wasn't looking!

pompa Fri 21-Nov-14 10:10:07

It's a tough job, but someone ha to do it.

gillybob Fri 21-Nov-14 10:14:02

'Fraid so Petallus especially one THAT BIG ! Maybe "disgusted"
is a bit too strong.... Safe to say they don't do anything for me (on a man that is) hate builders bum (cracks) too yuk !

Agree with Riverwalk the "message" is exactly the same. Get your boobs or bum out and wey hey success. What is KK for? What does she "do" apart from appearing ? No prizes for guessing the name of their next child..... hmm

pompa Fri 21-Nov-14 10:19:08

What does she "do" apart from appearing ?

Well I could say what she does for me - but I might get reported grin

She has also been a chance for a light hearted thread that has probably cheered many of us up, even if we were dismissive of her.

I feel my spirits lifted by this thread. No bad thing.

papaoscar Fri 21-Nov-14 10:51:29

Just to cool you down a bit, Pompa, I will mention the shock I experienced some summers ago when entering a small French beachside supermarket to be confronted by a bevy of cheerful and very amply proportioned German ladies going about their business topless. All I wanted was a nice melon but I had to leave the premises rapidly at risk of being crushed and trampled. I still tremble at the memory!

Elegran Fri 21-Nov-14 12:03:16

Poor girl suffers from steatopygia - she should be pitied.

Seriously, her bum is not nearly as big as some of those I see walking around or clambering onto buses, but they are equally "broadshouldered all the way down" or bulging like barrage balloons draped in pale pink dust sheets. She is reasonably in proportion, if distinctly bottom-heavy. Her problems will start when she hits middle-aged spread and it all starts to sag and wobble.

janerowena Fri 21-Nov-14 12:08:00

That is true - people should look to the future a bit when they do these things, but the young believe they are immortal. There are going to be hundreds of thousands of overstretched illegible tattoos appearing shortly, as the craze started to catch on maybe 15 years ago.

NanKate Fri 21-Nov-14 12:25:53

Pompa and PapaO the photo I saw of KK was much more outlandish, it was with her bending over and it looked as if he bottom represented a small table - it was revolting. I wondered if the photo had been doctored.

How sad that young people feel the need to alter their bodies so drastically.

Nonu Fri 21-Nov-14 12:37:50

I think she looks very attractive !

Wouldn"t mind a figure like that !

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Nov-14 12:45:52

Too heavy! Too much to lug around.

pompa Fri 21-Nov-14 13:20:45

This has just reminded me of an old Billy Connolly joke. :-

This guy meets his friend in the pub and he asked his mate how he was. He was like 'fine, fine, but I've just killed my wife. I'll show you if you want.' So they go into the back green and beside the washhouse is a big mound of earth, with a bum sticking out of it. He said; 'Is that her? What did you leave her bum sticking out for?' And he replied; "I need somewhere to park my bike"

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Nov-14 13:34:44

'ang on. I'll just get me gun.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 21-Nov-14 13:35:03

Rude!
