Here’s What Real Asses Look Like

With this new Jennifer Lopez/Iggy Azalea video "Booty" making the rounds this week, it's easy to forget what a real ass looks like. Thankfully Refinery 29 (link below) is here to remind us all what a real ass looks like, untouched by photoshop or surgical enhancements.

Each woman that agreed to have an untouched photo of her ass taken also provided a small commentary about their ass, ranging from "I do squats. I work out. I've always loved it. It's part of my beauty; it's part of who I am. Embrace the butt" to "I have no comment about my butt."

Here at R29, we support and cherish all butts — from the au courant round booty to the pancake-ier shape that has fallen by the cultural wayside. From cellulite, stretch marks, and age spots to the perkiest of young butts, we believe they all deserve to have an "official era." And, that era should be all the time.

To that end, we photographed the butts of 30 women. And, we asked how they feel about their backsides — what they love, what they think is funny, and whether or not Vogue's "radical" acceptance of bodies larger than a sample size has affected their lives. Ahead, 30 butts of all shapes and sizes, both bare and festively adorned. No Photoshop.
