Buttock cleavage is minor exposure of the buttocks and the intergluteal cleft between them, often because of low-slung or loose trousers. The crena is another formal term for the cleft between the buttocks, and the medical term is posterior rugae. == History == When faced with indecency issues back in the 1930s, W.G. Cassidy explained in an essay titled ''Private Parts: A Judicial View'' that exposure of a buttock cleavage may come under "other private parts" in Australian law, though indecency generally involves exposure of the genital area.〔Cassidy, WG. "(Private parts: A judicial view", ''Southerly'' (Vol. 34, No. 3), pages 315-319, Sep 1974 )〕 In the early 2000s it became fashionable for young women and men to expose their buttocks this way, often in tandem with low rise jeans.〔Brown, Janelle. ("Here come the buns" ), ''Salon.com'', URL accessed March 12, 2006.〕〔Jennifer D'Angelo, "(Cleavage Fashion Flips Upside Down )," FOXNews.com, December 5, 2001, URL accessed 12 March 2006.〕 ''The Cincinnati Enquirer'' called it the "new cleavage", and expressed views that "It's virtually impossible to find jeans to cover your hipbone".〔Daugherty, Gina. ("Thong spotting gets easier" ), ''The Cincinnati Enquirer'', May 29, 2003.〕 In August 2001, ''The Sun'' celebrated a "bum cleavage week" claiming that "bums are the new tits".〔Davies, Anna. ("Bum deal: Suddenly, women's bottoms are everywhere. It might seem like jolly, harmless fun, but actually there's nothing innocent about it" ), ''The Guardian'', August 27, 2001. Accessed February 19, 2008. "Last week was bum cleavage week at the Sun."〕 In reaction to this trend, ''Saturday Night Live'' aired a parody advertisement in their April 16, 2006 episode for a product called ''Neutrogena Coin Slot Cream'', in which host Lindsay Lohan appeared. British designer Alexander McQueen was particularly mentioned as the originator of buttock cleavage-revealing jeans, known as the "bumster", in cultural critique Sheila Jeffreys' ''Beauty and Misogyny: Harmful Cultural Practices in the West''.〔Sheila Jeffreys, (Beauty and Misogyny: Harmful Cultural Practices in the West ), page 98, Routledge, 2005, ISBN 0-415-35183-9〕 United States Patent 6473908 from 2002 registers a design for trousers with a removable buttock cleavage-revealing portion.〔(Garment having a buttocks cleavage revealing feature ), Patent Storm〕 In the mid-2000s, ''Good Morning America'' reported on a rise of popularity of the buttock cleavage among celebrities.〔("Celebrities Are Showing Off Butt Cleavage" ), ''Good Morning America'', July 25.
