UFC model Arianny Celeste takes on ‘bubble-butt’ culture

Everywhere you look in Las Vegas nightlife, it’s all about “bubble-butts” and beards.

The female big-booty trend was seeded by J. Lo in the 1990s. It blossomed dramatically atop Kim Kardashian’s back shelf. Now women by the masses wear tight tights, displaying righteous orbs.

Not every woman has wants to store junk in her trunk. “UFC Girl” Arianny Celeste remains tiny in a landscape of medium and large.

“In this society we’re living in, everybody wants to plump everything and make everything exxagerated,” Celeste told me, before hosting a Cinco de Mayo party at Tacos & Tequila on Tuesday.

Celeste is a highly sought-after model, onetime UNLV fitness major, and health nut from Velocity’s “Overhaulin’” and MTV2’s “Guy Code.”

She is now in the unusual position of defending her type: The itty bitty booty, which she has recently been promoting publicly via TMZ and elsewhere.

“I just kind of got tired of the whole big-booty thing. I just want to represent petite girls,” she told me. “Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes — including a size-zero petite girl. I’m proud of myself and my body, and I work out a lot.”

On Tuesday, Celeste will represent petite girls as the 6-9 p.m. host of “Sexy de Mayo” at Tacos & Tequila in the Luxor.

Celeste isn’t against big butts.

“I’m just, like, ‘Love yourself, no matter what size you are,’” she said.

But she frowns on unnatural butt implants, which women will buy for, say, $8,000.

“That’s not a very good message that you send to young girls,” the model said.

I personally don’t think the caboose-to-seduce movement will fade, because it plays into America’s naturally occurring dual habits, of owning a larger derriere, and of being proud. Celeste disagrees.

“It’ll die just like every other trend,” she thinks.

Meanwhile, guys’ trendy answer to the female “booty bounce” has been that burly man beard.

Judge Celeste decrees: “Yeah, but it depends on the beard, though, and the guy attached to it.”
