Someone Please Explain This Brum Thing To Us

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

A bra for your bum... ladies and gentlemen, but especially those who love a woman's butt, BlackBook introduces... the brum.

Traditionally considered an unattractive sign of sloppiness, plumber's butt is no longer a blue-collar syndrome, but naughty tease on par with the greatest sideboob. Anal cleavage has gained popularity this century with the rise of low-cut jeans (or should I say descent), the emergence of the whale tale, and most recently, posterior-revealing lingerie. Assless panties, if you will. Seven years ago, The Sun declared that "ass is the new tits," and this new breed of underwear finally proves them right. 

Well, BlackBook, forgive us for bragging, but we've known "asses" were taking over boobs when we heard "Baby Got Back" had gone to #1 back in '92 or whenever that was. We still thank you for alerting us to agentprovocateur.com where one can purchase the above-pictured Cendrillion Cheeky Brief. 

So gents, would you get turned on if your lady's pants shimmied down to reveal this? Ladies, how do you ass-sess this latest trend? Is it butt-ugly? (We'll stop, although we could've come up with some more.)

That is freakin' dumb.  I'm totally an ass man, but showing the buttcrack is *not* a turn-on.  (It's not a dealbreaker or anything, either, but it's certainly not something that should be encouraged or celebrated).  A girl with a great ass is going to have a great ass no matter what it's wrapped in, so she should just make sure that her panties aren't so ridiculous as to make her look like an idiot.

Nope, ass was big IN THE US in 92, but in the UK, which is not the US, tits are still all the rage.  Which is why reside there most of the time.  Nobody looks at yer ass at all there - it's just the tetons that matter, though apparently that's shifting, according to these articles (though I doubt it will change that much).  Note that the Sun, the Guardian, and Agent Provocateur are all BRITISH companies, which are not American.  Remember?  A word outside of the US.  woooooooo, crazy!

Sorry to be bitter.  I'm usually very nice. I just slept badly.  haha

PS Here, watch this.  Titties are sort of an accessory in North America, but in the UK, they're everything.

Okay, I wouldn't wear this everyday (and the general population cheers) but it's pretty cute for special occassions like a lap dance or pole dance :)  I mean I've seen lots of other silly lingere (like bras/corsets that don't cover your nipples.. pointless, but still hot in the right setting).

it just looks ridiculous. i wouldn't wear that on my bum. a brum? a bra for your bum??? please. i agree with the first commentator; if you have a nice bum, you dont need something like that to show it off. that's what thongs and see-thru panties are for.

My boyfriend would love this. I agree with Crzyquinn. It's not for everyday, but merely an addition to the lingerie collection to spice things up.

Lift and separate, though that is what my hands are for.  Is an underwire version available?  When does the wonderbrum come out to create more butt cleavage?  Thanks for the heads up about British knockers, guess I'll stay here for the ass.

I would allow this on Kylie Minogue, and I guess it's okay for cross-dressing sissy boys, but otherwise I think it looks like some sort of complex brainwashing apparatus that takes the fun out of buggery by making it way too commercial.  Once you can give a girl punnily-titled, anally-themed lingerie for Valentine's Day, what is there left to ever feel really dirty about?  Is nothing sacred?

I think it looks hot, but uncomfortable.  Like most ridiculous lingerie, I guess.
