When Kim Kardashian signed ups for Dancing with the Stars many wondered if the vigorous routines would cause her to lose her greatest asset. Would she lose her famous rear curves? It is time for the annual "Rear of the Year" awards and it isn't Kim Kardashian that took the award, it is Jennifer Ellison that gets to take home the award.

Is Kim Kardashian the Rear of the Year, No It's Jennifer Ellison

According to the website that awarded the award to Jennifer Ellison, "The rear has been the focus of fashion since the 19th century when the highly fashionable bustle highlighted and exaggerated the form of female bottom. But it was the 1940's and 50's before the rear really came into its own, thanks to Betty Grable, Marylyn Monroe and Jane Russell- and a full, rounded rear view."


Kim's Playboy pictures certainly sow that she is also blessed with a "full, rounded rear view." (See her rear view and Kim's full frontal pics here). But the "Rear of the year" website notes that change was ushered in with the 1960's and a "smaller, neater rear popularized by 'Twiggy' and Jean 'The Shrimp' Shrimpton.The 1970's and 80's brought with them a gradual increase in the size of fashionable rears until the 1990's when health and fitness became a major fashion influence-slimmer and trimmer being the key ambitions of the fashion conscious."

This year the fitness theme is still very much with us, personified by Jennifer Ellison who has her own fitness DVD and typifies the pert, well defined rear.
