Chances are, you started today with no idea of where the luminous entity that is Dame Helen Mirren stood on the topic of Kim Kardashian‘s butt, but you’re about to get an education in the topic, buddy, so by any estimation, today is a good day.
In an interview with Good Weekend, published earlier today, Dame Helen held forth on a variety of topics, including her thoughts on the most famous ass in the world right now, and what it means to be a “shameless woman”.
On the latter topic, she said that she is overjoyed to see a new generation of women rewriting the rules about what’s beautiful. She said:
“I love shameless women. Shameless and proud! Women were controlled by being shamed, so I love women who have claimed their own bodies: Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt. I love Pussy Riot more than anything in the world. They all raise their middle fingers to this epithet of ‘slut’. They wear what they want to wear, behave as they want to behave.”
We won’t keep you in suspense any longer – here’s what Dame Helen had to say on the topic of the Kardashi-butt:
“I’m not into the Kardashians, it’s a phenomenon I just don’t find interesting, but – and this is the big word: B-U-T-T – it’s wonderful that you’re allowed to have a butt nowadays! Thanks to Madame Kardashian, and before her, J-Lo. We’re also allowed to have thighs now, which is great, too. It’s very positive.”
So there you have it. Do with that information what you want, and you can read the rest of the interview here.
