The Cure for Anything

The recurring theme of my weekend seems to be booty. No, not in that way. I’m currently reading a book about physical training, kinesiology, and neurophysiology.  Yeah, I’m a nerd. 😉 Most of it is pretty technical, but this photo in the book made me laugh:

Is wanting a bigger booty like having straight hair and wishing for curly hair?

I heard the song “All About the Bass” the other day. It seems to be everywhere right now.

I take issue with people saying that it is pro-positive body image and empowering to women. Just look at these lyrics:

Yeah, it’s pretty clear I ain’t no size two
But I can shake it, shake it like I’m supposed to do
‘Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places
…
Yeah, my mama she told me don’t worry about your size
She says, “Boys like a little more booty to hold at night.”

Here’s what that translates to: You can love your body — but only if men love it, too. Also, the song uses the phrase “skinny bitches”, a phrase that I personally hate. Women need to stop saying demeaning things about each other.

Have you seen the viral video of the phenomenal 11 year-old dancing to Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda?

She is a great dancer, but I’d never let my 11 year-old dance to or listen to that song. The lyrics are filthy. I can only hope that the child doesn’t understand what most of it means. Seeing this makes me relieved that I don’t have a tween daughter, or even a 21 year-old daughter.

My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun

Boy toy named Troy used to live in Detroit
Big dope dealer money, he was getting some coins
Was in shootouts with the law, but he live in a palace
Bought me Alexander McQueen, he was keeping me stylish
Now that’s real, real, real,
Gun in my purse, bitch I came dressed to kill
Who wanna go first? I had them pushing daffodils
I’m high as hell, I only took a half of pill
I’m on some dumb shit

By the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain’t missing no meals
Come through and fuck ’em in my automobile
Let him eat it with his grills,
He keep telling me to chill
He keep telling me it’s real, that he love my sex appeal
Because he don’t like ’em boney, he want something he can grab
So I pulled up in the Jag, and i hit ’em with the jab like…
Dun-d-d-dun-dun-d-d-dun-dun

My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun

Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Look at her butt (look at her butt)

This dude named Michael used to ride motorcycles
Dick bigger than a tower, I ain’t talking about Eiffel’s
Real country ass nigga, let me play with his rifle
Pussy put his ass to sleep, now he calling me NyQuil
Now that bang bang bang,
I let him hit it ’cause he slang Cocaine
He toss my salad like his name Romaine
And when we done, I make him buy me Balmain
I’m on some dumb shit

By the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain’t missing no meals
Come through and fuck ’em in my automobile
Let him eat it with his grills,
He keep telling me to chill
He keep telling me it’s real, that he love my sex appeal
Because he don’t like ’em boney, he want something he can grab
So I pulled up in the Jag, Mayweather with the jab like…
Dun-d-d-dun-dun-d-d-dun-dun

My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun

Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Look at her butt (look at her butt)

Little in the middle but she got much back
Little in the middle but she got much back
Little in the middle but she got much back
Oh my God (look at her butt)

My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t…
My Anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun

(Don’t don’t don’t) My Anaconda don’t…
(Don’t don’t don’t) Don’t want none unless you got buns hun

Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt
Oh my gosh, look at her butt

Yeah! This one is for my bitches with a fat ass in the fucking club
I said, “Where my fat ass big bitches in the club?”
Fuck those skinny bitches,
Fuck those skinny bitches in the club
I wanna see all the big fat ass bitches in the motherfucking club, fuck you if you skinny bitches. What? Yeah!

Yeah. I got a big fat ass. Come on!
