Famous FAs?

[Orso]

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?

pop culture related:

Judge Greg Mathis. his wife is a gorgeous small BBW and he is very verbal about his preference

[StarWitness]

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

[Dr. Feelgood]

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.

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.

Yeah, like in the book "Thinner" and to some extent in misery too. I always thought parts of the book "Thinner" were sexy..though i guess that should be on some confessions thread or the "you know your an Fa when" thread..

I also remember the hugely obese (yet both kindly and beautiful) sister of the pool hall owner in the story "Low Men in Yellow Coats" from the book "Hearts in Atlantis". She's obviously well over 300+, and dresses in tight clothes, flashy jewelery and bright makeup. She's sweet and much smarter than her brother.

Also, I liked the scene in "Word Processor of the Gods" (a story from the book "Skeleton Crew") when the fellow tests the powers of the Word Processor (the first Master PC?) by erasing his horrid son from existance. Reality resets about him, and his wife - who was overweight already - swells to almost 300 lbs. You see, as she'd never had a child now, her lifestyle was different, and she'd now always been an overeater...

If this thread is still running in 6 years, I hope someone will be nominating me :-)

Yes, the some of the women in Fellini films were BBWs. But Fellini himself was married to Giulietta Masina, a slender lady.

[pjbbwlvr]

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

While I hope this is the case,I always just thought that King held a special,irrational, hatred for fat people.Years ago,I read quite a bit of his stuff...This was before he started pumping out the vast amounts of schlock he has since become known for and I always found his treatment and descriptions of fat people to be terribly off-putting.Even though I was mostly a young teenager when I was reading him and I knew nothing of fat acceptance, I understood that his hatred and disdain towards the fat was just blatant prejudice.

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

Well I've been reading a book called Lords of the Horizons and it's about the Ottoman Empire, and there's a very short section on Sultan Ahmet I that interested me, to console him about his army's failure his Grand Vizier as his book puts it, provided him with 'hugely fat african girls'.

Strange what you can stumble accross.
