#THICK THIGHS THURSDAY: How To Take The Perfect Butt Selfie For The Man In Your Life

This past weekend, my friend and I had a girls-night-in to catch up on all the juicy gossip since we hadn’t seen for months.

That night, while I was finishing up some work she spent about half an hour trying to figure out how to send a glorious “belfie” (butt selfie) to her fiance…Chai…women

First of all, I consider her a fairly flexible person because she used to be a gymnast in secondary school for years. But the logistics of taking a butt picture are about as easy as diffusing a time bomb.

Watching her, First she bent her arm as far back as it would go to grab a side photo. Next, she tried an over-the-shoulder aerial shot. She even tried to balance the phone between her thighs, and all that resulted in was a spectacular vagina photo, not the butt selfie of her dreams.

By the time I walked in on her, she was out of breath and sore from bending over backward to get a decent snap of her booty. I found it hysterical. She did not.

See, getting a photo of that ass is hard. You need to either be double-jointed or have a 10-foot-long arm to get a photo that doesn’t make your butt look like a pancake.

After watching her spend a whole lot of time on trial-and-error, here’s what I learned.

1) Use mirrors to your advantage.

Take a cue from Kim Kardashian, the queen of all things booty, and use a full-length mirror to capture your backside. Either do an over-the-shoulder duckface shot, or keep your face out of it and just snap a close-up shot of that ikebe.

2)Undies are your friend.

A great pair of panties can do to your butt what an awesome bra does to your boobs. It lifts, creates the illusion of a more rotund bum and just looks extra sexy.

If you’re a little anxious about sending a snap of your totally naked ass, a pair of undies can minimize the fear. I think nothing is hotter than a pair of lace panties — trust me, they’re way more flattering than a thong.

3) Recruit a friend.

When my friend was by the mirror, she offered to help me take the photo, angling the phone so it seemed to be just me behind the camera. Nothing is a truer test of friendship than taking a sexy selfie together.

Seriously, ask a friend. They probably won’t mind and, if they do, they aren’t your true friend.

No friends like belfie friends, am I right?

4) Make your butt look massive.

In my experience, this pose usually makes you look like you’re about to take a giant sh*t on your phone. That’s fine, just make sure you don’t actually sh*t on your phone.

5) Get on all fours.

I personally love this trick because it not only shows off your booty, but also gets some cleavage in the shot. To create the illusion of a bodacious shape, make sure your upper body is lower than your booty and snap away.

And if all else fails, just get a selfie stick. It’s practically the official sponsor of the belfie.

Cheers….
