Pants on, please, pants on.

My friends over at Nolita (923 NW 10th) are having a best butt contest called Maximus Gluteus—perhaps you’ve noticed an ad for it our paper. If not, I just wanted to encourage everyone to snap a photo of their denim-clad ass (or someone else’s I suppose) and send it in to bestjeansbutt@gmail.com; the deadline is November 22nd, so you have a little bit of time to squeeze in some more lunges. I, along with my fellow judges Jonny Shultz of Q6, stylist Allison Jones, photographer Matthew Brush, Nolita’s Katy Kippen, and my own Pilates instructor Lori Midrano will determine which contestant has the best butt, and the lucky winner will get a shopping spree in Nolita’s premium denim department, Brazilian butt lifting classes (which I highly recommend) at Lori’s Core Essence Studio, or a shopping trip with Allison. So go on, show me your butt. It’s for your own benefit. If you need inspiration, I recommend this web site.
