Fat Chicks Are The Final Frontier

April 14, 2010 2 Comments

Want to hear something really gross? Really perverted?

Some guys are into fat chicks. No, seriously. They have, like, a thing for them.

The main stream media is just catching on, and is not sure what to make of it.

BBW stands for Big Beautiful Woman. Plug it into your search engine and you will find lots of pictures of these voluptuous women indulging themselves, either with food or with sex.

Sassy Thomas was featured in The Sun today. She makes over £2000 ($3092) a month selling pictures of herself eating food. She looks like a statue of an ancient goddess, the spheres of her breasts and stomach completely overtaking the rest of her frame.

She said: “I eat super-sized portions for a photo shoot or video. In the past I have scoffed three pizzas the size of dustbin lids, a Chinese take-away for four and a whole death-by-chocolate cake, with a tub of ice-cream.

“It’s the perfect job for me. I get to guzzle my favourite foods all day, and get paid for it.”

When she entered the world of BBW she didn’t know what to expect, but she was soon embraced by the community.

“I couldn’t believe it – there were so many men who went mad for big girls. I was in demand and I felt like a goddess.”

The Sun is famous for it’s freak-show profiles, and Sassy’s interview definitely falls into that category. This will come as no surprise to film-maker Raymond deFelitta. When he needed a shameful secret for an adolescent boy to keep in City Island, he had him fall in lust with his 400lbs. neighbour, Denise. Many taboos were old news, but this one had yet to be mined.

  • But the existence of the BBW community — its members and their admirers — is still taboo. The notion that men might prefer fat women to thin ones remains disturbing and — to many — not quite believable. But it’s the truth. Witness the many “fat acceptance” Web sites, dating services and photo galleries you will find on the Internet. Indeed the prevalence of these sites and the pride expressed within them might suggest that the whole “fat people are gross” epidemic is as dead and gone as the “gay people are gay because they had a bad experience with the opposite sex” thing. (Something I was shamefully told in my long-ago youth.)

He discovered this sub-culture by searching for pictures of Elizabeth Taylor when the internet was new and finding her in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?: “slightly frowsy, not delicate, in full ownership of her outlandishly elaborate body.”

He found magazines that celebrated the fuller form: “It was a culture that celebrated freedom from shame and delight in all things sensuous. Once again, beauty equaled confidence. And vice versa.”

So when his screen-play needed a deep, dark, shameful secret, he knew where to turn. But unlike the British tabloid, who gloried in the gross, he attempted to strip it of the stigma.

  • Maybe the supersized will begin to appear in movies and literature not as object lessons in what not to become or as simple comic relief, but as people who are simply that … people. Erasing prejudice is a tedious and sadly directionless pursuit. But it does seem to happen eventually. Who knows? Maybe one day a fat chick will become president.

We have not heard the last of this, but smart money is on a shame-fest over a political rally.

    It’s about as gross and perverted as some guys being into skinny chicks. Obesity is not any unhealthier than emaciation.

    I agree with you Siu. My words sounded more sarcastic in my head. (Mick)
