Is there a great cycle of archaic matrilineal theogony returning to the surface after twenty-thousand years: [^].
The apparent transition in western culturally mediated representations of female form must have occurred during the last fifteen years ... during which I consciously absented myself from western popular media, with rare exceptions.
How did such buxom and callipygean avatars replace the anorexic metro-sexual models of media-yore ?
I've never once seen any video in which a Kim K. was present, and hope that blessed state will continue; however, images of her, and her zoftig ilk, are almost unavoidable.
So, it puzzles me ... is it a reflection of today's grotesquely obese American fast-food zeitgeist ?
Is "Miss Bum-Bum" a mantra ?
With fear, and awe, I await your enlightening me.

That makes sense, but as Bohr once said: "Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true."

Don't you mean 'steatopygean' (fat bum) rather than 'callypegian' (shapely bum)?

Well, "fat" ? I think KK and tribe are way past fat.
But, I am from this generation: [^] ... way past my use-by date.

Indeed, "steatopygian" would be more accurate in this context; I am reluctant to use that word because, in the past, it has been associated with racist descriptions of women of color.
"Embiggened" might also be a term to use here, since it may convey the sense of artificially enhanced. But, that may put us at risk of cromulence: [^]
thanks, Bill
