So a local radio station is accepting entries for the "Butt of the Year." Having the incredible butt that I do, I am finding myself a little tempted to enter. But I am also wondering if submitting pictures of my body for gain is against my principles. Is this the mild equivalent of those women who pose for Playboy to get gain? Would a "tasteful" picture of my butt, shared online and voted upon, devalue the progress of women by objectifying myself as merely a great hiney? Perhaps the value of my morality lies in the value of the prize--which I think is like a week on a houseboat at Lake Powell or $500 in gas and $100 in groceries. Hmm. . .
Anyway, I am sure some may think I am a little pretentious or cocky, defining my behind as incredible. But believe me, that's not my definition. I never knew what the big deal was about butts, until my roommates freshman year told me repeatedly that my butt was awesome. I didn't get it. But then my twin sister's roommates did the same to her--yes, she shares the same endowment. I don't know if people in high school didn't care or maybe my butt developed during the summer. All I know is that ever since, I receive compliments on how perfect my big behind is.
For example:
"Girl, I knew you weren't all white!"--Spain (African American--most black people love big butts)
"Amber, I don't want you to think I'm hitting on you, but you have the nicest butt!"--Natalia (Latina--also big fans of butts)
"Yes, Amber has a great butt!"--Mario (Latino)
And I won't bore you with more. But, my thinking is if I am getting compliments from people that really like butts, it must be true. Maybe I could actually win.
So. . . jeans?

I hope you win! Maybe if you do I can add it to my resume. "Greatest Butt by proxy!" Bet the male dominated oral surgery program would be very impressed!
I don't know if you will win because i'm thinking about entering myself. That is some pretty stiff competition right there...
ha chyeah... maybe if it were the "Butthead of the Year" award :)
