#BottomsUpFilm: New Documentary ‘Bottoms Up’ Explores America’s Big Booty Plastic Surgery Phenomenon

 

Big butts have taken over the world!

On the surface, “Bottoms Up” is a documentary film that examines the newest booming trend in aesthetic surgery – big butts. Placed under a microscope, the film explores the media’s impact and other societal pressures that have propelled big butts from a cult fetish to a mainstream phenomenon.

Via Moguldom Studios:

With an influx of new “it” girls from Kim Kardashian to Nicki Minaj, the images are inescapable. Women have taken drastic – and often dangerous – measures to achieve the impossible and often unreal.

Is bigger always better? When it comes to breasts and lips, the answer has been yes – with thousands of women going under the knife each year in search of augmented features. In recent years, the focus has shifted from breasts downwards, towards other assets. In fact, in 2013, the number of butt augmentations increased by 58%. The film doesn’t just point the finger at women and the media, as men have played an equally important role. From Sir Mix-a-Lot, whose 1992 hit “Baby Got Back,” sensationalized round posteriors – I like big butts and I cannot lie – to new artists like 2Chainz – She got a big booty so I call her big booty, it is men who actively pursue women with this new fetishist feature.

So who is to blame – the media? Men? Women? “Bottoms Up” offers different perspectives on this new issue. Jam-packed with commentary from plastic surgeons, women who desperately long for larger ones, and men who want a little more than a handful, the film takes a look at booties from every angle.

Now available on iTunes, Google Play and VHX. Buy or rent it today at MoguldomStudios.com!
