I Love My Bum Campaign
This page is dedicated to all those men and women who love their butts.
Do our bums look big in these photos? Well yes some of them do. And you know what? THAT’S OKAY!
If you would like to be part of our campaign, email me your photos to thediscourseblog at gmail dot com
My butt is probably my favorite thing about my body: which is a big deal, because I really love every part of my body a whole heck of a lot. This hasn’t always been the case, though, thanks to societal norms that say big butts (and big anything, really) are no good, less than ideal, etc. THANKFULLY I learned that this is garbage, that all butts are beautiful, and that life is lot better when you start make your own rules about what kinds of bodies are valuable and worthy of love and respect. I LOVE MY BUTT!
Shaunta writes at her blog: This picture is especially special to me, because I got upset with Kevin when he took it. I made a big deal of showing him how to take a bowling picture from the side so that there wasn’t just a collection of booty shots. I made a big deal, because I didn’t like seeing my butt. That was about a month ago. And now I can’t stop looking at it and thinking–you know, I have a great ass. It’s even heart-shaped. I heart my ass.
My kids think I'm beautiful, so why shouldn't I?
Hot Bum!
My most hated body part from approximately age 8 to age 22! Now my most favourite 
I love my arse, it makes many people happy.
:D!
I love my bum, because it's sexy and squishy and part of me!
AWESOME!
Denim Butts!
:D!
I love my bum. It is nice and full and round.
An ode to my bum
I have a bum
A big bum
And that’s ok
After all
If it was small
I’d look kind of funny
It’s a good bum
It sits well
And walks strong
And sometimes
My cats sleep there
They think it’s quite comfy
It's true!
Sarah: My bum is proudly attached. Thank you for this project!
THE perfect tee for this page 
I have this photo because I had to document my bad packing strategy for my grandmother's funeral: http://class-factotum.blogspot.com/2009/07/going-to-big-house.html
Because without my butt, what would Deuce have leant on? It gave him the perfect cushion

Fabulous
I need to turn one of my current pairs of jeans into FBG ones, the pair in that pic died the inner thigh disintegration death many moons ago. Maybe an embroidered patch that I can reuse this time instead of an iron-on transfer.
So many gorgeous bums! Well we all rock for sure.
What an awesome set of arses
…and I do especially like the cat-friendly bum…. we can’t underestimate the many plus sides of plus sizes.
PS I don’t think I have any photos of my butt… I wonder what Greg would think if I asked him to take a photo of my bum to post on the internet.
I don’t have any either!!! I’m going to take one this weekend
Oh, this is so choice. Thank you for doing it! I’m a happy ass-viewer today!
[...] loved my “I love my bum campaign” picture so much, I made it my header. And yes, I love it. Have you sent Dr. Samantha a [...]
Ooh, by total happenstance a good friend of mine accidentally took a picture of my bum last week! I’m totally going to make her give me a copy and send it to you.
YEY!
[...] Thomas over at Discourse has a lovely project we can all share in if we please. It’s the I Love My Bum Campaign. To join, send a photo of your backside to Samantha and tell her why you love your bum. The image [...]
Oooh, number 9 from the top!!! My body, you’re just bit taller. I’ll get the hubster to take a photo and submit. I have always hidden my bum but for the past year, I embrace the booty it all it’s delicious fullness.
When a friend said yrs ago that I had a huge arse, I was mortified. These days I would say, why yes I do, thank you.
Hey! I’m number 9 from the top!
I too was mortified when one day I walked past a window and realised that I have THE BIGGEST ASS IN THE WORLD! Seriously, I’m pretty sure you could balance a can of soft drink on that baby!
Then one day I was in a conversation with a few friends, and the guy I was holding a bit of a candle for and we were talking about bums. I said ‘I’m pretty sure I have the biggest ass in the world’ and he looked me right in the eye and said ‘That’s not always a bad thing!’ We got together later on and he showed me just how much he appreciated it!
Ever since then I’ve looked at my bum differently. Yes, it is big – but you know what, it’s damn sexy! And yes, it does make me look bigger, because I also have big hips and a spare tyre on my lower abdomen, but I don’t mind that so much anymore either.
I can’t imagine myself without my big bum now! Sure, sometimes it makes finding jeans difficult, and I worry about skirts sitting lopsided but you know what? It’s my bum and I love it!
Love it. I reckon you could balance a can on mine too. Yep, skirts can be lopsided and jeans are a bastard to fit sometimes, but I don’t mind any more. I love my bum, I think I look good in clothes and the gorgeous man in my life is all over it. The odd nasty comment I might get these days, I just smirk and say jealousy is a bitch.
Great bums, you are all awesome ladies. I asked my hubby to take a pic of my bum, he sat there stunned until I showed him the other bums, so lets see what happens. And I am pretty certain I win the award for the biggest butt.

Years ago, I read an interview with Jennifer Anniston where she talked about how she had been hassled into losing weight. Someone had commented on her ass, saying he could “serve tea on it” and she noted that she was GREEK, DAMMIT, and if you’re Greek, you have an ass.
