In fact, one jeans store near where I lived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, drew me inside because of their mannequins. In the store window, a fiesta of Mexican mannequin girls were showing off their butts in specially-made jeans designed to hoist up a woman’s butt using special stitching. (Oprah once featured these jeans on her show.) It was so fun trying on these jeans that I bought a pair. When some of my friends saw them that day, they made me take them to the store. Five grown women giggling in a change room and exclaiming over the transformation of our butts didn’t seem to faze the Mexican sales girls. In the change room next door, local teenagers were trying on the same jeans. Apparently, everyone wants to show off her assets.
Mexican bums When I’m in other countries, one of the things I like to take note of are store mannequins. I’m always fascinated in how mannequins differ from country to country. In England, the mannequins have attitude. In Ecuador, I noticed the ‘mannequin girls’ look like they’ve had boob jobs. In New York City, the mannequins look like they could use a burrito. My favourite are the mannequins in Mexico. The girl mannequins have REAL butts (or bums, as we say in Canada). It’s refreshing.

I still haven't seen you in Wakefield with these butt enhancing jeans!! What happened to the two pairs you bought? Remember how hopeless my bum was? Sadly, none of the pairs I tried on in San Miguel were really able to uplift my buttocks...

Hee hee. I guess we didn't find the right ones for you. As for mine, I actually just wore a pair the other day!
