Okay, there's no way on earth that that ass was naturally formed. If a woman gains weight, it's going to go to her abdomen, thighs, face, arms, everywhere. The distribution of fat on her body is completely unnatural. You can't eat an unhealthy diet and will your body to gain weight in one localized area while the rest of you remains thin. That's simply a myth.
There has to be some kind of surgical enhancement either with silicon implants or a Brazilian butt lift. The procedure involves liposuction of fat from one area of the body and injection into the rear end. She could even have a combination of both.
If you look at the flash animation intro on Buffie the Body's website, she even alludes to the surgical ass-makeover. There's a silhouette of her body on a gurney as robotic arms circle her rear.
