Arse Antlers: a tattoo in that fashionable area above the buttocks


Butt Bra: raises the profile of the buttocks to go with your arse antlers

    I'll pick tanorexia.. t epicture you chose certainly does give a good visual.

    While Fideland I were at St Maarten last, we had a lady staying at the same resort.She was both tanorecic AND anorexic... it wasn't pretty.

    Okay so far 2 for tanorexia and 1 for arse antlers. My vote is for butt bra 'cuz I have to admit I have no butt and would need extra padding along with the lift. ;D (I know, I know, not most women's problem, but it IS mine!) lol

    I think that surely tanorexia is getting less common in Australia, the land with so much skin cancer, but I like it.
    The slogan there is slip, slop, slap. Slip on a shirt, slop on suncreen and slap on a hat.
    My poor husband is suffering the results of his mispent youth in Australia with three operations for melanoma and squamous cell skin cancers in the past few years.

    I like arse antlers. That's exactly what they look like, and they are MOST unattractive.

    Arse antlers. Heh.

    I like all of those but "manscaping" has to be the best!

    So far:

    tanorexia - 3

    arse antlers - 2

    butt bra - 1

    manscaping - 1

    salad dodger - 1

    all - 2

    Tanorexia is in the lead. Which will win in the end? Hmmmm...
