Big Booty Females

As for those photos, there's too much "arched backs" and airbrushing. I agree that they have nice figures but if I were to see them without the arched back and airbrush, I probably would see a firm and shapely rear but not a "big rotund rear."

On another note, I'm also not impressed by butt implants. Those are as impressive as breast implants.

GC now has a "Big Booty Hole" Thread. LOL.

I used to live in a neighborhood with a sizable Greek and Italian population, and there were several stores selling "big booty jeans." Basically they had a different waist to hip ratio from some "standard" American brands. My Greek roommate hipped me to the differences.

Exactly. It puts a different perspective on clothing sizes. Women who would otherwise be a size 4 usually wear much larger sizes to fit their rears. These women often wear pants that don't fit their waists.

I guess it is similar to having a small frame with larger breasts. However, I think it's easier to find shirts to fit a small frame with larger breasts than it is to find pants to fit smaller waists with larger hips and/or rears.

No pun intended, right?

I would agree with that, I think tops can be more forgiving of larger breast size than jeans are of larger hip/butt size. Though I have heard that in recent years more companies have started cutting jeans for "curvy" women. I've bought a couple of these types and they fit better than the ones that fit at the hips and don't at the waist. Generally, though, I like the brands that are specifically designed for a curvier bottom half. Or jeans with a ton of stretch.

Other things annoy me more, though. For example, I have such trouble with dresses that are fitted through the hips that I generally don't even bother with them because it's usually not worth it to buy a dress several sizes up and then get the top portion tailored.
