What is cellulite? - by Celluliteexpert.com

Cellulite is a common term used to describe superficial pockets of trapped fat, which cause uneven dimpling or “orange peel” skin. It appears in 90% of post-adolescent women and is rarely seen in men. Common but not exclusive areas where cellulite is found, are the thighs, buttocks, and the abdomen.

Who gets more cellulite? - by Madison (June'05)

The answer is surprising. Since cellulite occurs just beneath your skin - not deeper down where access fat is stockpiled - even stick-thin types can develop dimply thighs. However, cellulite can look far worse on heavier women. Getting to a healthy weight (but not below it) will probably improve your appearance. Avoid crash diets too as these can often be a cause of cellulite. Sudden weight loss or weight gain will make cellulite look worse.
