So, the Northeast is currently under about 80 feet of snow, and we in San Diego are freezing our asses off in 50 degree weather (in the morning, it’s still high 60s during the day), and all we can dream of is living in a place where people are still frolicking in bathing suits and enjoying the warm sun and smiling and not wearing frumpy sweatshirts and microwavable socks to bed. A place like, oh I don’t know, Brazil, where not only is it a balmy 79 degrees, but the 2014 Miss BumBum competition has just happened, meaning there are giant-bootied, bikini-clad women ALL OVER THE GODDAMN COUNTRY.

Every year we have to give shout outs to the crazy hot curvaceous women of Miss BumBum, but this year, the ladies have truly outdone themselves. May we allsay hello to our Hump Day Hotties of the Week, the finalists of the Miss BumBum Brazil competition:

To be fair, the faces on these ladies aren’t AMAZING, and as The Superficial points out, they could very well be dudes. But until that is proven true, we’re going to marvel at those squat-perfected, unbelievably toned booties that you just don’t see north of the equator (except maybe in Miami, but those are probably FROM Brazil anyway so it doesn’t count).

To the ladies (we hope) of Miss BumBum Brazil, we crown you our Hump Day Hotties – not only for your glorious, hypnotic booties, but for reminding us of better times, when our toes weren’t freezing off and the world wasn’t ending.

Keep it up!
