You might think this is one of my many silly Photoshop posts, but that’s actually Angela Simmons and that actually is the word “YES” in all capital letters spelled out across her bum. In hip hop fashion I believe this is called a “badonkadon’t.”

Don’t know who Angela Simmons is? Don’t feel bad – I didn’t either when I first saw that purple gluteus maxi-yes. So I googled her. Sadly, she doesn’t even have a wikipedia entry, but after clicking through a few sites of mostly random photographs of Angela (kinda like this post) I found out that she is the daughter of Run DMC founding member “Reverand Run” (Joseph Ward Simmons) and she used to date rapper Bow Wow. That’s pretty much it.
(I’m secretly laughing inside because I like big bold booty messages! “YES” is right! If I had a young daughter I wouldn’t want her wearing it, but Angela Simmons ain’t my daughter – I established that earlier – and that is one of the most deliciously round affirmatives I’ve ever seen! Plus, it allows for a syllable-saving truncation of Obama’s inspirational message: “Yes can!” One thing I can’t stand though are obviously non-functional, purely decorative zippers. Have you no dignity Angela Simmons?!?)
One more parting glance of Angela’s affirmative assion:
Hate it! (Love it!)
