Thank you brothers!
Indy, I have a PhD in ass.
The gold-standard parameters allow for some variation obviously, but boney, overly-dimpled, saggy and fat are verboten 'cause they mess with the aesthetic and ratios of what qualifies as tastefully-shapely. A fantastic ratio example is the hamstring : thigh : butt one. A largish-but-shapely ass means nothing if there's nothing underneath to support it / provide context (hamstrings). One of the reasons BBLs look weird to people is precisely that ratio - it's waaay-off 'cause the ass has been expanded but those supporting / buffering factors haven't (thighs and hammies).
Remember, they're gals. The way they're built is such that they ought
always have what when compared to men are "fat" asses, but as I suggested, there's fat in all the right places and ratio support and then there's just plain fat.
Anywho, the important thing is that I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for the warm welcome back. I'm not fully-OTC'ified yet (not up to it), but the ol' bikini thread, arguably one of the best on the 'net, beckoned all the way through my absence. I'm just sorry to have left you guys out-in-the-cold, so to speak. I couldn't deal with anything so yeah, sorry.
Thank you Brother Skeet for keeping the dream alive all this time.
Superb effort mate and one that's appreciated by all I'm sure.
