Fashion that makes us sad: Booty Pop panties

I'm kind of late to the party on this one, but a few days ago a bunch of bloggers discovered that Paula Abdul's stylist (what a job that must be, seriously), Jennifer Rosenblatt, is endorsing a new brand of padded underwear called Booty Pop—"The Panties That Make Your Booty Pop."
Now, I personally can't fathom a woman who would want extra butt padding, but Rosenblatt can: many of her celeb clients tragically do not have enough behind to fill out their designer jeans. Hence, Booty Pop. It comes in three sizes (Sweet, Sweeter, Sweetest) and seven colors (including Cotton Candy and Gum Drops) and feels weirdly—even though its giving you a more womanly shape—totally infantilizing.

    Jeeze and here I am having a hard time finding jeans that can handle a ghetto booty.

    Seriously though, seems like it would feel awkward and possibly like wearing a diaper. I do have at least one friend who is deprived of a round piece, but I can't see her even wanting to try those.

    GOD DON'T MAKE NO JUNK!!!!

    LADIES LOVE YOURSELVES!!! When it comes to beauty, black women have always been at the bottom of the totem pole. Our lips were too big (now everyone's getting injections), out butts were too big (booty pop panties and but implants) and the list goes on. . . . We come out of the womb with shapely behinds but we were never celebrated for it. They gave that one to J-Lo (square hips). One thing about it though, we don't let OTHER people define what we see as beautiful. What happens when flat asses and the waif look is the "in thing?" Are you going to starve yourself to look the part? So if your butt is flat, THAT'S WHAT GOD GAVE YOU and in the words of our elders GOD DON'T MAKE NO JUNK!!!! Embrace that flat ass!!!

    another way of lying to yourself on how you look or how you are suppose to look, this is just like the wonder bra looks big from the outside but small in the inside

    so what happens when you go out with your booty pops on..(which is so ridiculous, what woman would buy those??)...and some guy likes your fake booty pop ass...and then he awkwardly finds your booty pops. that would totally suck.

    Wow... Sounds more like bubble gum than underwear. Seriously, they have got to stop thriving on our insecurities and start making products that celebrate our natural beauty instead of calling them flaws and making products to hide them.

    If you really want your booty to "pop", i suggest spending some time on the stairmaster or eliptical machine!

    I'm 46 and to be truthful there is nothing new about panties with padding. Have seen it for many years in various catalogs. But it's funny either way. Because on one hand you have ads telling you ways to slim down your butt and on the other there is an ad saying you can have a bigger looking butt. Go figure.
