"  Once upon a time (last month), I transitioned, rather like a Animorph, from Normal Human Being to Human Being Who Sends Butt Selfies. It happened so fast! It&amp;#039;s all a blur!  I also did it incorrectly \u2014 after the first request (&amp;quot;i wanna see your ass&amp;quot;) I pulled my skirt and underwear down and, standing, took a Photo Gallery shot of my flabby white ass in repose. Just, you know, standing, casually. Maybe that was what he meant? When this understandably got a lukewarm reception, I tried again, this time bending down with jeans on (&amp;quot;thats better lol&amp;quot;). Little did I know at the time that I was aiding in the Contagion-like spread of the butt selfie.  As it turns out, this pose was a favorite of Anthony Weiner&amp;#039;s while he was sexting his circa-2012 Internet friend, 23-year-old Bible Belt native and proud democrat Sydney Elaine Leathers. In addition to those shoe shots, she sent a thong picture from behind for his approval, signifying a public shift of focus from the boob selfie and duckface combo to the full-on butt selfie. Bad news for those of us who don&amp;#039;t hit the gym enough. From what I can gather, this is how the butt selfie creation process goes. 1. Put on a thong. 2. Go into the bathroom. 3. Execute an awkward Gumby-esque twist so your neck faces the mirror. YOU SO SEXXY! 4. Take pic. 5. Send. 6. Regret every decision you have made in your adult life. Do you think you&amp;#039;re more likely to send a butt shot than a boob or vag pic? Is it a less-controversial area that you wouldn&amp;#039;t be quite as embarrassed about if it ended up on the Internet? Also, seriously? Carlos Danger and Sydney Leathers? I feel like I&amp;#039;m in a gay porn shop on 9th Avenue. Follow Anna on Twitter. Image via TMZ "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
