American Apparel is holding a search for the Best Bottom in the World. There are both male and female categories and you can vote for your favorites:

We’re looking for a brand new bum (the best in the world!) to be the new “face” for our always expanding intimates and briefs lines. The winners will be flown to LA, photographed and featured online. You must be 18 years of age or older to enter. Send in a close-up photo of your backside wearing American Apparel panties, bodysuits or briefs for consideration between January 28, 2010, and February 21, 2010. Two winners - selected by American Apparel judges - will be eligible to be our next butt model. The top ten contestants, as voted on by the public, will receive a grab bag of American Apparel items valued at $300. To begin, please upload a photo and complete the form. Your photo must be in JPEG format and less than 5MB in size.

Enter here. May the best bum win! (F/lthyGorgeousTh/ngs)
