In January, Lexington Plastic Surgeons, run by a celebrity cosmetic surgeon, organised a contest to find the woman with the biggest buttocks in New York. While the contest rules specify that the rear of the contestants must be all-natural and had not undergone surgical enhancement, the winner would be used as the model of Lexington.

The result of the contest, in which 68 women competed, was not publicised. Some people could interpret it as the answer to the question – Who’s got the biggest butt in New York – remaining unsettled. However, The New York Post reports that Kathy Ferreiro is aiming to be the unofficial title holder for “World’s Best Booty.”

The Miami fashion circle has called her “Cuban Kim Kardashian” based on her almost daily NSFW posts in her Instagram account of her curvy behind. Apparently, she is attempting also to break the Internet with her photos, ranging from her wearing white tights that highlight her ample lower back assets to tiny bikinis.

The 21-year-old makes sure all angles are taken to show her derriere, which she proudly says is all natural, not surgically enhanced. The Instagram posts are also not Photoshopped.

John Chant, PR expert, insists, “She’s got the hottest bod in town and it’s all her own.” He adds, “She has just got an incredibly amazing figure that makes her a new challenger for rear of the year. All I can say is Kim Kardashian, look out!”

Not many women, however, are as blessed as Ferreiro or Kardashian when it comes to their buttocks, which makes the business of cosmetic surgery a lucrative one. A butt enhancement procedure costs around $10,000.

Even if raising that amount means women have to “work their butts off” to have behinds worth displaying, the procedure is very popular. In 2014, butt enhancement procedures in the US increased by 58 percent, while in Brazil 63,000 such surgeries were done in 2013.
