Teased by her family and friends about her flat “pancake” booty, Apryl Michelle Brown had always been insecure about her backside. Once she got enough money, she told herself, she’d buy herself a better one. “I didn’t know if I wanted to look like Janet Jackson or J. Lo,” the Los Angeles cosmetologist, 46, says in an exclusive interview featured in the November issue of ESSENCE magazine. “I just wanted a new, bigger booty.”Pls click to continue reading. Btw, thats the woman up there.
Tragically, her quest for curves cost her all her limbs and almost her life.
In 2004, Brown says she paid a “pumper,” an unlicensed person, to inject industrial-grade silicone into her
buttocks. Brown can’t recall how much the woman actually charged — maybe $500, maybe $1,000 — but
over time, she says, the area became intensely irritated and painful, and the skin blackened. By early 2006
she says the silicone had hardened, causing severe pain and infection, ultimately requiring her to have
lifesaving amputation of her limbs last year.
Now adjusting to her new life with prosthetics, Brown shares her story — and her warning for others
tempted to check out “pumping parties” — with writer Amy Elisa Keith in ESSENCE. “I was left here for a purpose,” she says. “I have to get the word out so that nobody else makes this choPl

So very sad, but we reap what we sow! Its important to appreciate what God has given us! God loves variety; that’s why He has created men who have different tastes when it comes the choice of their ‘woman’! Some like me are attracted to women who are slim with a medium pelvic girdle! That’s me!

Wats with the backside anyway? Women learn to accept how God created you and for sure despite how you look, there will always be someone who will trully cherish and love you and above all God loves you exactly how he created you..

I blame men for this – especially black men who like big bottoms. The woman was trying to please the male species hence went through this ordeal. If only men would stop demanding big bottoms, women would not feel under pressure.

I am impressed with the courage she has of facing such an ordeal. many could have given up. I trust her confidence is in none else than the great Lord, king Jesus.

So sad, but it’s good she’s become a mouth piece to warn others. The irony is that while some of us wish for a flatter bottom some wish for a bigger bottom. True contentment is in Christ and not what people say you look like.
Continue being brave
