To have never heard of a 'wisdom tooth' figure?

News to me! Was reading a thread from a few yrs ago, and people were discussing this, so I googled it. I had no idea this was the new, desirable figure that women aspire to (yes, I'm late to most things!). I was a teen in the 90's and everything was all about the skinny look, so this is refreshing in comparison - but how can anyone get that shape naturally?

I went down a rabbit hole and ended up on insta, it is definitely a thing, but even though some of it is down to gym work it looks so incredibly sculpted (stylised) I just can't get my head around it. Here is a google image of what I mean.

I was already aware of the Kim K and booty obsession but thought it had passed long by now.

Does anyone over the age of 30 desire this? I am presuming it is a youth thing. Or maybe it's a subculture thing? I don't have any DD's so can't ask one, does your DD like this big booty/tiny waist business?
Are boobs allowed or are they unfashionable now? What's going on with those little waists??!!

Off I slink with my flat arse and weedy legs Blush

Remind me that when the next ‘how to look chic like the French’ thread comes along to mention NOT to try for the wisdom tooth figure.

As someone under 30 that's not what it's commonly known as. It's usually just called a BBL hourglass.

And anyway natural is coming back in now as the celebs are all removing their BBLs

I don't understand why this is desirable, if you actually had that figure you would only be able to wear lycra as nothing else would fit.

Gah. This feels like a much less Anglo Saxon figure so that's good, but at the same time it's even more of the 'women, feel shit unless you hit this almost unacheivable standard' shit, with a little added porno aesthetic. Especially because can only really be achieved with implants (butt) if not your natural body type.

Kim has defo reduced the butt & lifted it but there's still something in there.

Well this is disappointing, I clicked on this thinking I was going to see little figurines carved out of wisdom teeth.

I thought maybe it was going to be about some sort of wisdom tooth points - how many you grew (only 3 on my case) or how many you had taken out.

I think I’d have preferred that full conversation than looking a photos that are a parody of a curvy woman.

I thought it was going to be some sort of magical creature, like the tooth fairy but for adults! 😂

Sorry to disappoint! Grin

I hadn't heard of it either. I looked it up due to it sounding so bizarre.
