Bio
Married for thirty six years and the mother of the two grown children, I began writing at the age of ten. My first success was winning a poetry contest in grammar school. From that moment forward, I realized that the written word was as vital to my survival as food and air. I am presently working on two books, one of which I hope to finish before I die. A number of my poems have graced A Long Story Short, and I have been published in the Lucidity Journal. Each day inspires me...what I see, hear and experience.... if it stays in my mind, I write about it. __________________________________________ "To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: It is the only way we can leave the future open."

Get a Better Butt

Rate: 12 Flag

 I have only one thing to say. If all it took to get an ass like this was Reebok sneakers, I'd have my feet cut off and Reeboks soldered to my ankles.

 

Reebok

 Okay, I lied. I do have more to say. This ad was without a doubt designed by a guy. I might be tempted to wear those sneakers while paying him a visit.  A good swift kick is sometimes all it takes to get your message across and I would be aiming where the sneakers in the picture are pointing.

Respectfully, I'm not sure I get your point. It's a truly fine ass, you even said you'd cut your feet off for it. How exactly do you know a guy designed it? And apparently, if he did, he did a good job with it. If it's 'nads you seek, you surely won't find them where the sneakers are pointing. But, yes, the things we see in advertising DO really piss us off.

It must be difficult to niche-market sneakers. I'm reminded of the Nike segment on "What Women Want." Maybe Mel Gibson did the ad.

Jeff,

I didn't say I wouldn't like an ass like that. I said I'd cut my feet off if Reeboks would get that ass for me. Unfortunately, the only cutting that will make it possible is a little Nip/Tuck, well, a lot of Nip/Tuck actually. As for a guy designing it -- any woman in advertising who had an ass like that wouldn't be in advertising.

Nip and tuck be damned. I say what the 'hey. Throw caution to the wind and go for the ass!

I saw that ad today for the first time. I saw it on facebook. I don't see my ass much because it is behind me so I'm not concerned how it looks...I do need new cross trainers for the gym but I will probably get New Balance at the factory outlet here to support our local economy...

Forget about the ass. I want her abs and legs. Not in that way. I mean, well you know what I mean. (Storms off in search of Funhouse mirror)

I'm sorry, but if the model in that picture runs in Reeboks, then I'm a gymnast (trust me, I'm not) - she doesn't have any muscle definition in her thighs leading me to believe they've airbrushed the life out of them.

Besides - we can't even see her butt, only a hip. For all we know, she's got major sag going on back there! Wouldn't that be sweet?!

Got to admit, I hate sneakers. Only wear them when I'm going to the gym. Got to admit, I hate the gym. Soooooo, I won't be buying Reeboks or any other sneakers in the near future. Now, if someone could invent laser surgery that made us all -- men and women -- look like movie stars (Kathleen Turner before the fall), I'm there.

In a certain light, at a certain angle I can get a major curve like this going, but it is from knowing about posing, not about sneakers. I also can make my legs go behind my neck, yet why? Ohhhh, so I can have a pair of Reeboks cover my gaping...well...let it suffice to say it would not be my substantial brain.

Very funny Donna. R

That's the problem with advertising today. Any idiot can use sex to sell a product, but all of the talented ad folks of the 1950's and early 1960's are gone............while only the talentless remain. (But they think they are slick)

*blinks* is it just me or is there something unnatural (can you say photoshop?) looking about her body in the hip area?
or an i just jealous and jaded?

Speaking for myself, a little of both. Probably leaning more to the jealous side.

There is one problem here. This is a very skinny and real ugly ass. I like the anterior superior iliac crest and the patella, though; great bones.

Rated.

Thoth,

Skinny asses are not your thing. I realized that after reading your poem. Plenty of the women in the world are proclaiming your name.

I saw this commercial yesterday. Very strange. I would be interested in seeing the numbers behind the claims. They were actually claiming something like wearing them you lose 11% more body fat or weight o something. Bizarre!
