She runs her hand slowly down my right butt1 cheek, probing for crevasses2 with her powerful fingers.
她的手缓慢滑过我的右侧臀部,强有力的手指探寻着皮肤罅隙。
"I see a new job opportunity coming up for you in December," Bibian Arango says, as she looks carefully at my
ass3 to prognosticate my future.
"The next couple of years are very prosperous, but you have to watch what you're eating because you could have problems in your lower stomach," the
psychic6 says.
Arango sees several
butts7 each week in her Lima office, a small room packed with statuettes of Catholic Saints, magic potions and a three-foot mural of Sheeva, the Hindu God.
The Colombia-born psychic says she's one of the world's few experts in rumpology, a pseudo-scientific discipline that devines people's
futures8 and
analyzes9 their
personalities10 by studying the features of their buttocks, and feeling out the general shape of their ass.
"Some people think it's a joke, but I don't really care," Arango says in a distinct Colombian accent. "I predicted that Shakira was going to have babies with a soccer player…just by looking at a picture of her butt."
Rumpology has been most widely promoted in the states by Sylvester Stallone's mother Jacqueline Stallone, a self-styled astrologist and psychic who claims that the ancient Egyptians and Greeks made
imprints11 of their butts on
papyrus12, and used that to predict the future. There's no archaeological evidence to support the claim that ancient civilizations read each other's butts, but it's fun to imagine.
