Of enlarged butts and sagging cleavages

The story of the new trend across young ladies in Nigeria is one that not only brings grief to many but also embarrasses quite a number of old fashioned people like us. I have also wondered if it is because I am not yet a Zillionaire like having too much money and then becoming bored and trying new things out of boredom.

This trend has now caught fire in Nollywood and those with regular butts are now involved in some kind of butt expansionist programme. Yes, we have noticed. This is because the purveyors of this ever expanding butts show it off even when it’s not necessary. The sheer provocative shots by film directors of unnecessary show of butts is unprecedented. Every move is made to shove this new trend down our throats. See my butt first is the new mantra for newly acquired butts and it is insane. The actress concerned is made to walk away incessantly, shot from the back for the longest no matter the story.

A butt lift is a very sensitive surgery I am told. It prevents the beneficiary from sitting down as we know it for nearly a month and they have to sleep face down for the longest. A butt lift chair crafted with a hole in the middle to enable you sit for short spurts is all they can manage. They also have to go into hibernation for about six weeks to heal and the pain is better imagined. But Nigerians are brilliant at following trends whether they be good for us. As long as it enhances something. In this case it is the butt. Like really?

I also hear that quacks have entered the game and any manner of injectable things, whether approved or not and any manner of stuffing have been known to be part of the deal. I have heard of people who have died from procedures gone wrong and over the years we have seen court cases on this matter.

Plastic surgery except it is fixing a medical condition is an addiction. You always want more. Your butt today, your eyes tomorrow

The question I would like to ask though, foolish as it maybe is; what is all of this in aid of? To please a man? Really? As Judge Judy will say, in five years time you may not even remember the face of the person who put you up to it and told you he prefers your butt heavy. He has told ten other girls the same thing. Be happy in your skin. Any other thing leads to depression. And by the way, plastic surgery except it is fixing a medical condition is an addiction. You always want more. Your butt today, your eyes tomorrow. Ask the Doctors on a TV programme called Botched. The stories are mind-boggling. People spend copious amounts of money going under the Surgeon’s knife, sometimes up to 10 times. It is truly insane!

Some people tell you it is to improve their self-esteem. If you don’t love yourself for yourself, it will bring you much sadness and depression if you depend on other people’s thoughts about the great person God has planned you out to be. Bits and pieces of flesh at a Surgeon’s table will only make you want to do more. And because we are human we will always want to touch more body parts if we get our hands on some money. I always advise that you could use the money for a holiday, visit family or do charity. Your heart and spirit will always thank you for it. And you will feel much better than having a butt lift that makes you feel better for a couple of months.

So let us go to the breast of the matter. I don’t know about you but I am getting pretty incensed these days about some flat breasts making their debut at parties and social events. Sorry ma and sorry Miss what is the plan? So what is the point of a cleavage that adds no value and just makes you a spectacle. Is it for fresh air or is this the new accessory? While we know that Covid-19 has upset us so much we need new things to excite us, I doubt that a shrinking breast is our pleasure. I have often wondered if men will let us have a sneak peek but it is something that seems so farfetched.

Sorry Miss it adds nothing to your brain or brilliance. The more covered you are the more mysterious you are. Too much skin is cheap. But perhaps that’s the point. While I am not searching for a prude, please can we be more decent. But it will interest me to know what the man on your arm thinks about a stadium full of other men staring at you? Also those in the flesh trade think it’s cute and human traffickers and Sex slavery purveyors too, do me a note if you feel led.

In the meantime, we watch as butts get enlarged and breasts get saggier. The point? Even I am asking the same question. We are watching!
