Its this sort of up-to-the minute topical debate that keeps the weight board thriving LOL
While we're at it, whatever happened to that lovely President Kennedy? He was such a nice fellow - does anyone know why he quit politics? Anyone?

This woman's presence always seems to haunt these boards at least twice a year, and very undeservingly.
To answer your question, Voidhead, Kelligrrl was somewhat of a pioneer for us. When I first came around here in 1999, there weren't many women who maintained personal websites, but she was one of them, and her weight gain was certainly a treat for all of us. HOWEVER, she also ran a subscription magazine called Bulge. This was before the golden age of paysites, it was a different time back then. Anyway, Bulge had many subscribers, and all of them lost money when Kelligrrl decided to disappear off the face of the earth. Without warning, she closed her site, stopped putting our her magazine, and none of her customers were refunded. At least that's what I remember, I was never a customer. She was pretty and some of her pictures were mezmerizing, but that all goes out the window when she virtually robbed her customers. Be thankful that we have the Big Cuties and the Big Fat Chics and the BBW Pinup girls and our collective Goddesses and everyone else and forget about Kelligrrl...Dimensions has moved on and upward without her. |

A bit more info: Kelligirl posed for the cover of BUF (a defunct bbw mag) in 1994, unnamed, with no accompanying photos inside the magazine. Readers freaked over her, but BUF, never exactly super-communicative with readers, stayed mum. That was it for 4 years until she popped up on the Weight Board, 100 pounds heavier, with her website and fanzine. She disappeared again in 2001, so she's due for a return any minute, provided the rumors of divine ascension or WLS aren't true.
Like many on this board, I was lightly singed by her disappearance - she still owes me 2 or 3 issues of Bulge. All will be forgiven though if she posts a current picture of herself at 600 pounds. Last edited by altered states; 11-18-2005 at 07:13 AM. |

....over at the Bunion that it was alien abduction? LOL Actually, there was a very interesting post on a Yahoo club somewhere not too long ago that some lad had seen a woman out in a Western state that could have been a vastly slimmed-down Kelligrl....we do know that she moved West...who knows? I think it is clear that she probably did give up the gaining thing, which is probably why there was such silence. It was a blow to the gaining community, though, as well as a frammus to those who had given her money in good faith...there is a point where folks' private lives take precedence over their public persona and she certainly had a heck of a persona, but a simple communication would have saved so much emotional frammus and rumor!

Bully good attitude there! I think you hit the nail on the head...things have changed and it is a whole new world for FA's....Gaining Goddess and Natasha come to mind as women who have more than filled the gap left by whose-her-name! LOL
Thanks for putting it all in perspective! ![]() Quote:

Fascinated in the late 90s by Ms. K---I don't even remember where I heard about her---I purchased several issues of BULGE, which was a cheaply produced, photocopied 10 -or-so page affair with recipes and pics you couldn't really see too well. I exchanged several pleasant emails with Ms. K, and then, one day, she didn't return one, two, and then three emails, nor followup emails months down the line.
Here's an email address, which apparently still works in that mail sent here doesn't bounce back: becauselifeisnotadressrehearsal@hotmail.com Here's a link to her website as it is---no mention of weight gain, etc.: http://www.geocities.com/kelligrl_/ |

It's perfectly okay for someone to decide they want their life to go in a different direction, but this disappearing without a trace and without warning is uncool and a pain. |

I too remember KG pics from 1998 when i first discovered the Dimensons Board. I recall staying late at work and printing a huge amount of pictures in black and white as I had no internet access at home - and being terrified I would leave a print by mistake for a colleague to find the next day./.. Such exciting days, I was simply mesmorised by the beauty of the sumptuous bodies.
Does anyone actually know if Kelligrl is OK? Presumably she had close friends / acquaintances in this community. Hopefully she simply decided she had had enough rather than something unpleasant happening... People may be understandably miffed, but imagine a dual paysite with Brooke and Kelligrl, a license to print money. If her prime motive was money and 'ripping people off' she could have generated huge subs from a paysite. So maybe there is more to it. Besides, I've joined some pretty poor paysites that are advertised around these boards without updates for months. Last edited by fred_elliot; 11-18-2005 at 04:48 PM. |

Of course, there are new people finding Dimensions everyday, so I try not to be rude. My message to them is that they simply came in at a much better time. Plenty of sultry ladies to admire now, and THEY ARE LOYAL TO THEIR FRIENDS, ADMIRERS, AND CUSTOMERS. |

I disovered Dimensions in 1998, and there were two things that had a big influence on me: Melanie Bel's stories and Kelligrl.
At the time I was just over 200 lbs and felt like I was a WHALE, the fattest woman ever! Then I saw Kelligrl, this beautiful, confident woman at well over 300 lbs - it was a revelation! I loved her site and her journey, and it's a shame that she never said goodbye to give us all a little closure. As far as the folks who didn't get all their issues of Bulge, well, I guess you guys didn't have any money in World Com or NorTel? I lost more money than that when MODE went under... ![]() fg33

Not to stir up any more trouble but I found an image of the out of stock issue.
November 1991. Those were better times indeed. |

That's her in 1994-ish. By 2000 she had passed 400 pounds. Here's a better representation:

Bit before my time, I caught the tail end of it, before she ducked off the radar. Never really paid that much attention to it. Ah, how niave and innocne back then.

The cover of that bulge issue is was brought me here in the first place and I am desperately trying for years to find somebody to scan issues of Bulge that way, we could also help those people who didn't get their issues. Of course her leave was not a good way to go, but considering the climate that sometimes is built here I can understand that she burnt all bridges.
Please somebody scan. |

I always think Kelligrrl looks like a fat Nicola Bryant from Doctor Who.
I agree with the earlier post, I would love to see her at about 600 lb |
