Thick and curvy, phat ass, bunz4ever. Wrapping your tongue around the keywords of Big Booty GIFs, a single-topic Tumblr publicly sourcing everyday cheeky genius, can inspire the type of free associating usually found in a Nicki Minaj song riffing on boy toys wanting something to grab.
As a metaphor for power, the ass — in all of its badunk badunk shaking glory — represents the elemental core in control. After all, supreme booty shaking can snake into a sublime zone that loosens the body but also entrances the gaze.
The “homegrown” tag on Big Booty GIFs is particularly salient. Here, most of the GIFs seem to come from webcam or smartphone-shot videos by women who are moving for the viewer but also for themselves.
The “theonlyhydro” series is especially moving. The woman, shooting in a bathroom’s mirror, takes pleasure in being loose and at ease in flaunting her sexuality. She slowly peels her dress up, revealing her naked bottom; she repeatedly lightly smacks her cheek, lowering down into a pose that achieves a silhouette that’s been photoshopped or pumped or Jean Paul Goude-d. You want this, but guess what? You can’t have it. The epitome of the come-hither.
