Famous FAs?

Orso · 06-11-2009, 05:39 PM

I'm trying to write down a list of famous FAs, but it's very short and I'm not happy at all with it.

Of course, there is no sign saying 'this person was an FA', so one has to work on indirect evidence and on the little is know about some historical personage's tastes, based mainly on gossips. This makes the task a difficult one and in most cases there is no real proof that a specific historical personage was really an FA

In any case here is my list.

Pieter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), painter. The way he portrays BBWs shows, in my opinion, that he was not doing it because that was the way to paint women, he was clearly interested in BBWs. I feel thet this was not the case with many of his colleagues but of course I might be wrong.

Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), painter. Same thing, his Baigneuses are a monument to the beauty and sensuousness of BBWs, even more so because in that period BBWs were not in fashion.

Federico Fellini (1920-1993), film director. Practically in every movie he made there is a beautiful, exciting and sensuous BBW, from Saraghina of 8 1/2 to the tobacconist of Amarcord.

King George I of Great Britain???, formerly Prince of Hanover (1660-1727). When he became king of Great Britain and moved to London he took along with him countess Charlotte Sophia von Platen-Hallermund-Kielmansegg who, according to the contemporary descriptions, was definitely a SSBBW and was nicknamed 'the elephant'. The general opinion was (and is) that the countess was King George's lover, but some historians and genealogists maintain that she was the king's half-sister.

King Farouk of Egypt (1920-1965) - King' Farouk's second wife was Narriman, a very plump girl from the Egyptian bourgeoisie. Apparently the two met in a jewelry and the king decided to marry the girl immediately. In my teenage I read on popular magazines lurid stories on how king Farouk gave Narriman precious presents every time she gained weight and how he did the same with his lovers. After a coup d'etat king Farouk was exiled, divorced and moved to Rome, where he had a long affair with (and possibly married) an Italian opera singer who fittingly was also a BBW

As you see the list is very short. Can you add some names?

I remember reading about Charles Dickens being an FA, but I can't find a source for that at the moment.

Dr. Feelgood · 06-11-2009, 06:32 PM

As long as you're listing George I, you might as well add George IV, who gave his criteria for beauty as "fair, fat, and forty."

Chat show host Jonathan Ross always admits he loves big woman on his show. His wife is very hot and curvy.

CurvyEm · 06-12-2009, 03:18 AM

I know this probably sounds a bit strange but I think Stephen King has a bit of a thing for fatties. The discriptions he goes into about them are just too OTT for someone who wasn't interested in fat people.

pjbbwlvr · 06-12-2009, 11:53 AM

WOW! Lucky man his wife is a very beautiful lady!

King George I of Great Britain lived from 28 May 1660 – 11 June 1727. the only mistress i found was Ehrengard Melusine von der Schulenburg, who gave him three daughters after he left his wife. that is unless there is another mistress that is very secret

I think he likes more muscular big women. I remember reading an interview with his wife, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, and she said that fat women actually terrified him. Don't quote me on that, but I think that's what I read.

I think that plump was the desired shape for women around that time. You can also see it in paintings by, for example, Rembrandt.
But I also get the impression Rubens had a taste for BBW's. Take a look at his second wife, Helena Fourment:

He was an FA. You are correct!

paedrough · 05-09-2010, 07:30 PM

i actually don't think artists are necessarily FAs if they paint full-figured women. as an artist, it's wayyy more interesting to draw full curves than twiggy thin-ness. the fat creates great shadows and adds dimension to the subject. granted, i'm an FA and an artist... so maybe there's a confounding variable there? hahaha

Wow! really? I remember back in the 90's when i watched "waiting to exhale" gregory hines character was totally into lorreta devine who played a beautiful bbw who wasn't secure in herself...it was the first time i ever heard the expression "i love a woman with some meat on her bones"....and it was the first time i had the realisation that there are men who are exclusively into bbw's....for that reason I was sooo in love with him because it made me realise that beauty really does lie in the eyes of the beholder.

Most cultures from the Caribbean, Northern (the Moors) and Western Africa, southern Europe, the Middle east, Pacific Islands, India appreciate curvaceous and larger women.

Note: I did not say every single man from these cultures loved bbw, but these are cultures that celebrate the larger and curvy woman.
