Pop singer Anitta shows unreturned butt in music video - "The real woman has cellulite"
A sensual butt in red hot pants, including two thighs, which not only rub against each other while walking, but also have a recognizable dose of cellulite. For a good ten seconds, we can enjoy this sight when we watch the latest music video by Brazilian pop singer Larissa de Macedo Machado aka "Anitta".
"The real woman has cellulite"
"It was my decision not to post-edit the video, the real woman has cellulite," said the 24-year-old artist, whose ass is now so beautifully bouncing against us in this first scene of her music video "Vai Malandra".
At this point, we would most like to shut up, open a sparkling wine and toast that Body Positivity has even arrived in the pop scene. But if we look at "Vai Malandra", there are still some other questions.
Cooperation with Terry Richardson? despite allegations of abuse
For example, we wonder whether it was probably Anittas decision to loll in the other scenes usually in a tight bikini in various paddling pools, backyards or on any "sundecks" of a favela in Rio de Janeiro? Or one of the men on her (back) side, singer Mc Zaac, to have a drum session on her backside?
Was that Anitta's decision, or is the work of photographer Terry Richardson flashing? He had made this music video as one of his last projects, before he had fallen into disrepute in October because of allegations of abuse and since then largely avoided.
More than 90 million views on YouTube
But it's almost a bit late for concerns about whether the video is not a slap in the face of all those women who have been molested or abused by guys like Terry Richardson: With more than 90 million views and 2 million likes on YouTube already a success, and at Spotify, "Vai Malandra" was the first Portuguese-language song to be among the 20 most-heard pieces.
And let's be honest, "Vai Malandra" is apart from the fact that Anitta's butt wobbles while walking and we see bumps on her thighs, basically a 0815 pop video: Lots of nude skin (both male and female) , lots of people who are in a good mood, celebrate their lives and look like they all have wild sex after the shoot. If you did not know that Terry Richardson is behind it, you probably would not think about it anymore ...
"'Big dog' to 'kitty cat'"? The song is about sex
To be fair, you should also mention that you do not have to be a Terry Richardson to immediately think of the song in scenes with a lot of bare skin. In "Vai Malandra", which means "Let's go, naughty girl!", It's all about sex.
"You play with your butt", "I am hypnotized by how you swing him", "from behind, yes, there I stand, the 'Big dog' to the 'kitty cat'". Who would produce such a line already a "decent" video with beautiful landscape photographs?
Anitta does not look like a sex object
After all, in "Vai Malandra" Anitta does not look like the demoted to the sex object, oppressed woman. She looks more like a woman who has fun, sets the pace, turns men's heads, and keeps the situation under control.
And with all reservations to Terry Richardson and his works: Should Anitta suffer? Or can we still celebrate it? For example, perhaps, under the pop culture filter, it might show us a modern world as we might aspire to it: a world where women can be sexy AND strong. In the men can find women horny and respect at the same time. In which we can show our sexual stimuli, without being reduced to it or to be afraid. Maybe there can be such a world at some point? maybe not.
But what we should definitely strive for a world: One, through which we swing all our cellulite asses as natural and self-confident and bobbing like Anitta.
