Famous for Having an Ass

Photos by AgNews

The only person who loves Andressa Soares’s butt more than Brazil’s sun-soaked masses and us is Andressa Soares. She’s really into it. And for good reason: Her ass has catapulted the charming Rio-born girl from bit parts in music videos into the pop-star spotlight as the overendowed Watermelon Woman. Devoted fans now flock to her concerts, paparazzi stalk her every move, and crazed men and woman paw at her whenever they are able. In case you’re wondering why all the fuss in a country with thousands upon thousands of similarly impressive posteriors: Watermelon Woman’s ass measures a formidable 46 inches around and she can’t stop shaking it, even when she tries to.

Does it get annoying having people stare at your ass all the time?

I am actually used to people looking and even touching it, to be honest.

The guys usually ask to take a picture and put their arm around my neck, but before they go, they “unintentionally” brush their arm down my butt. They try to apologize and all, but I don’t care. What am I going to do? Even women! Women are more straightforward. They ask, “Can I touch your ass to see how firm it is?” I swear to you, this is how it goes.

Do you find that Brazilian women’s definition of beauty varies from city to city?

Women in São Paulo are more concerned about their face and makeup. They dress nicer. The women in Rio are not like that. It’s not that they don’t care about their faces, but the body comes first. They work out a lot to look strong for the beach. In Rio, women practically live in their bikinis.

Europe and the US focus mostly on women’s breasts, while in Brazil the shape and size of the butt seems to be the primary concern.

That is absolutely true. Especially in Rio. For example, when someone sees a woman down the street, before they even start talking, they look at the butt. I myself do that. I can’t say a woman is pretty if she doesn’t have a nice butt.
