The good news is that Instagram totally apologized and reversed their decision. You can see the pic live on the site here, and if you’re feeling brave, share your own booty pic with the hashtag #bootyrevolution. Yay!

If you liked what Meghan had to say and would like to hear more, you can follow her on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or Tumblr. No pressure though.
