What a Booty torrent

What a Booty! ostensibly sets out to examine the ways in which hip-hop culture, fashion and a handful of yesterday's celebrities have conspired to make curvy female bums - the plumper and rounder, the better - not only desirable, but sexy and empowering. She tracks down Michelle L'amour, a cabaret performer whose act evolves around her wobbly bits (though the slender 26-year-old belongs more on the pages of Swimwear Illustrated than a size-plus clothing catalogue); a multimedia artist who specialises in photographing women with big, make that really big, booties; and a jeans manufacturer who caters to the "fuller hips" of Afro-American and Middle-Eastern women.
