THERE are a few exceptions which will always stand out, but most female stars yearn for a diminutive derriere.
However, it appears that the small and slender bottom is very much a recent trend after an archaeological discovery revealed how Stone Age pin-ups were far from size zero.
Ancient carvings depicting the female form 15,000 years ago reveal that prehistoric women were revered for their curvaceous bodies and prominent buttocks.
The most popular were the cave-dwellers’ equivalents of Kylie Minogue (pictured), whose renowned behind is the world’s most popular posterior.
Historians claim that the carvings – found at a site in Poland – reveal how curvy bottoms were regarded as the most attractive physical trait for women in Stone Age Europe.
Men looking for a mate ignored skinnier women and fought for females with the shapeliest behinds.
Experts said a well-presented bottom was a sign of wealth, health and a good diet.
They also suggested she would be a successful mother, able to produce lots of children and sent out a message to other men that her partner was a strong and successful hunter – making him more attractive to other women.
Around 30 of the figurines were unearthed at the dig and archaeologists believe they would have been carried by the travelling hunters as items of decorative beauty to admire while they were away from home and their loved ones.
The flat carvings were fashioned out of flint, bone, ivory and tooth.
They depict the profile of women minus their heads – strongly suggesting that cavemen were more interested in the shape of the body than the way a female looked.
Romuald Schild, of the Polish Academy of Sciences, who led the dig, said: “The engravings and figurines adhere to a style depicting feminine silhouettes with over represented buttocks.”
The site of the discovery in central Poland is a known Late Magdalenian settlement. It has thrown up 10,000 archaeological finds since 1993.
It is thought the discovery is in an area where hunters gathered to relax and swap stories.
Other remains include a woolly rhinoceros, horse and Arctic fox. Animal teeth and tusks were used in jewellery, made by the hunters in their spare time.
They also found time to carve the figurines, which prove that behind every outstanding Stone Age woman was an outstanding behind.

Looks like one of neenerdom's primary doctrines is catching on.
However, lousy revisionists and heretics....A non-list list...what heresy.
This is a job for the Lord High Protector!
Leave it to a dip shitte to come up with something like that.
The party was jumpin' when Bertha got off o' her stump,
The whistles were blowin' and everybody did the "Bump".
But all the time Bertha had been workin' on her goodie,
Now folks call it "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
No question.
When Bertha got movin' her hips were hummin' in the wind,
The ground started shakin' - no grass grew where she'd been!
The music was poppin', the crowd had formed a ring,
Her sisters yelled, "Boogie, Bertha, do your thing!".
Uh, for your information, Bertha had three sisters,
Betty Butt, Bella Butt and Bathsheba Butt.
When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
I said no question.
Hey, Leroy, get away from that woman!
The boy'll never learn!
Uh-oh, here comes the Troglodyte!
Troglodyte: "Come here, sock it to me!"
Bertha stood back and yelled, "Betty, Bella, Bathsheba!"
And the Butt Sisters backed her up when she yelled, "I need ya!".
The Troglodyte, Leroy, Luther and the Butt Sisters all knew
That "The Bertha Butt Boogie" was now the thing to do.
When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
No question.
Bertha: "I'll sock it ya, daddy!"
Troglodyte: "Me like, me like! Come here, woman, woman!"
Leroy: "Yo' mama, I'm calling you, man!"
Troglodyte: "Yeah - the Boogie!"
FADE OUT
Guess those two notable big butts are popular because of who they are attached to. The rest of us gals get put down and criticized for having them! To make matters worse, there are surgeries for those who want to enhance the size of their rears and for those who don't want surgery, a line of garments to enhance the size of said area of the body!
"The rest of us gals get put down and criticized for having them!"
Not me. I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave. ;-)
You do recognize what the topic of this thread is don't you?
I don't see a humor or sarcasm tag on it so I assume this is a serious topic and thus out of bounds for the likes of us and I would add, for our own safty, we should leave quietly, tip toeing out the back door. My excuse for my name being associated with this thread is "it was a mistake" and I'm sticking to it.
I swear to you that there is a tombstone for "BERTHA BUTT" in Porterville, California.
I take it that K is looking over your shoulder. :>)
Pfffft.
You could span me with a claw hammer....;-D
