Ok, her name is not Jiggles, but rather the girl who has intrigued me from the moment I stumbled across her website a few months back and ordered her book. Here was a young German gal with a booty who was basically ostracized in her country for not having the lean physique German women covet, who discovered the epicenter (arguably) of the booty phenomenon when she moved to New York. So she set out to research and self publish a book on booty culture – done in precisely the same cheeky tone that I am planning for my film! Her branding is PHENOMENAL, really gives you a feel for her approach and her book has almost been a reassurance to me (as I realize I’ve covered a lot of similar subject matter and sources through my own research). The biggest challenge now, is how to connect with her and through our separate projects, help each other.
She was even prettier and more polished than I expected – most pics in her book had her hair in wild gorgeous curls and dressed casually, but we were meeting up with her on a break from work so she had the total professional look going on. She told me that she was still crossing her fingers that her agent would make a sale on the book, but nothing was moving forward. I could relate to her frustration perhaps disillusionment. I know what it’s like to have a product that you know there is a willing market for, but trying to convince a senior authority figure that you are on to something.
But to me, her’s is the more compelling story – not only because her booty truly defines her look, but because she’s made her project work entirely on her own terms. Self publishing is no small feat! How's that for a labor of love? I believe you can or will be able to order her book online again soon, so support an artist (and amuse and educate yourself on the female posterior) and pick up this book!
I see good things for us down the line – my only regret is that we would have benefited from an evening of chatting over dinner vs a brief coffee midday…. Hopefully we’ll get that chance.
In the brief walk back to her office, I only saw a taste of what happens to men when she’s around. Great example: a man in a three piece suit did a TRIPLE take, and suddenly changed his route, following us down the street. My sister and I said goodbye to Sarah at her office and stood under the awning, plotting our next move, when the man passed by AGAIN, and noticed our companion was no longer with us. He passed by a THIRD time, realizing that the beauteous booty was gone for good, and retreated into the street. I was floored. Absolutely floored. Who had any idea that the booty held THAT MUCH power in NYC?
