Buffy The Body (True Magazine Dec. 2006)
Fly Girl
By, Ms. Hite
In the hood the name Buffie “The Body” Carruth gets more buzz than the Secretary of State. She gracefully bowed out of the dancing game when she made her exit from ATL’s Magic City only to bless hip-hop with the best bootie in the business. The 5’7 Athens, Ga. bread stunna sports a body that’s thicker than a Snicker. Weighing in at 157 lbs., most of it proportioned to her backside, her chocolate frame is much to be desired. I don’t know if its those Waffle House grits that built out her 34-28-45 combination, but there is no wonder why both men and women are in awe over her asset. “In public women are real, they take to me," Buffie gushes. “They’ll come up they’ll hug [me] take pictures. Sometimes women be like, ‘oh my god,’ you know, they act like niggas suppose to act.”
E-40 said it best when he spit, “Her ass big enough to sit a cup on her bootie,” but Buffie says you’ve got to have a line better than that to keep her interest. “I like the quiet shy type guys. A guy who don’t even say anything about my butt. Just pretend like it aint even there.”
At a time she was most recognized for her contributions to the music video game. But now the young lady who remains tight lipped about her age is open and warm about more important details of her life. There is no question that her upcoming 2007 calendar will be a collector’s item. Her current ad campaign for Azure Company’s sets the stage for Buffie as she represents the world of hip hop in their Fall/Winter Campaign; a campaign that no doubt will have jeans flying off of the shelf. In addition, her websites buffiethebody.com and myspace.com/buffiethebodydotcom get more hits than the last chronic roach.
“In the beginning they thought I was just black stripper with a big ass,” Buffie tells True. “[I] had my little two seconds of fame and I going to be out of here. It’s going on two years now and I’ve elevated from just being a video girl.” The sex goddess has come a long way putting the saying, ‘once a stripper always a stripper’ to rest. She currently pens her own advice column for Black Men’s Magazine on sex and relationships. Giving advise on sex may just be her strong suit. When we asked her where was the weirdest place she had a sexual experience at she answered, “In the hospital bathroom.” What may be an uncomfortable position for most women was less of a challenge for Buffie given that her favorite spot to get busy is on the kitchen counter.
Hosting parties state to state makes up for a huge portion of the “So Seductive” beauties revenue. Although she brings the party, she says she prefers a more intimate lifestyle. “I don’t step foot in a club now unless I’m hosting a party because I’m not a club person,” she says seriously. “The crowd and the smoke and the drinking and the niggas getting on your damn nerves. I prefer to go to nice restaurant sit down and eat go walking downtown. I’m not a party person at all.”
For many it may hard to believe a woman with a body like Buffies doesn’t take advantage of the extra Crystal poppin’ and top grade party favors. She doesn’t drink or smoke and although according to her, almost every rapper has put in a bid, she has politely declined opting to push forward with real estate plans and movie ventures of her own.
Earlier this year she verbally battled it out with shock jock DJ Charlamagne Tha God in an interview that was leaked to the web. At the time would seem the diva took the wrong route by lashing out at the DJ. Instead, the interview propelled her into another realm of superstardom. “Believe it or not I was mad when that interview happened. Even thought a lot of people already knew who I was, the interview really helped,” she says. “I didn’t know he was going to put it on the internet, but it ended up being a good thing because I got more jobs and more people wanted to interview me. Different cities were calling me up like, yeah we heard the interview, we want to interview you.”
Those other cities aren’t the only ones catching the vapors. Brotha’s from the fly girls past are beginning to resurface. “Its funny because every nigga I’ve fucked with has a least emailed me, they don’t have my number, but they’ll email me like, ‘remember me [I’m] such and such…I be like yeah, I remember you, and?" Letting them down easy comes natural for her, but she doesn’t want guys to be too shy in stepping to her. “I don’t know, it feel like guys are more intimidated to talk to me now because they look at me like a celebrity. I think guys would talk to me more before I got famous than now. They feel like they don’t have a snowball chance in hell to get at me. So they’re like, ‘aint no sense in even trying to holla, I know its probably fifty-five niggas trying to holla. Probably ten boyfriends, I aint going to even try, I’m just going to be cool.’ Then a lot of people hear the interview and they think, ‘damn she got a fucked up attitude, there’s no telling what she’s going to say to me if I say something to her.’" Laughing it off she can charge it all to the Hollywood illusion. From radio to television to print, you’ve got to ask the question, what do she don’t do. As Buffie’s star continues to rise, we are lucky to witness the face of the industry evolving.
