Lol.
A girl can dream.

To be honest, he has no choice. Ever since he came out as wanting to do a gay role, I decided I will one day have sex with his face.

actual entry from my journal:

Amen sister!

Oh Daniel Radcliffe, I love you! I want to have sex with your face.

Great movie. Too bad that had him institutionalized for being an FA.

i think it wasn't so much just that he was an FA but that he attacked Anita in the office because she just had too much sexy to resist

[Buffie]

I'm pretty sure Chris "Coop" Cooper leans toward the FA side. Maybe he's not internationally famous but he's a celeb in my book.

http://www.coopstuff.com/ I've got his book and some prints of his art and honest-to-goodness BBWs are not an uncommon theme.

Here's more info on Coop himself - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coop_(artist)

Okay...so...I was watching Marry Poppins at a sing-along recently, and saw that during the song "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" there is a fat woman who plays the tambourine in the backup band, and at one point, this interchange takes place about her:

So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay (here, here)
Just summon up this word And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully Or it may change your life
ah..for example (yes)
One night I said it to me girl
And now me girl's my wife!
And a lovely thing she is too, hehehe
She's.........
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

I think when the guy says the last line, "And a lovely thing she is, too" it shows he's a definite FA.

[LalaCity]

Well, this isn't exactly uplifting, but Stalin's evil henchman, Lavrentiy Beria, liked fatties.

[Donnybrook]

I wouldn’t go so far as to say Tom Ford could have FA tendencies, but he did make the following statement in this article:

“Fat women almost always look better without the constraint and lumpy pinching of clothes, all the straps and elastic squeezing and sucking.”

Those are some respectful and fat positive words coming from a fashion designer.

He’s probably saying that people should looking good, whether they’re thin or fat, and whether they are wearing clothes or not.

[lovelocs]

Whether he's an FA or not, what he says is frequently the truth.

I've always said the same. When fat women try to squeeze into clothing, it makes them look even bigger and like a sausage in a casing. Not as good as if they got proper fitting clothes. There's a difference between "form-fitting," "skin tight," and "OMG how do you breathe in that thing?!"

Screw your lungs, I want some eye candy!


Just kidding. This thread is one of my favorite threads on dims though. Sadly it seems like there aren't many more to list

[CarlaSixx]

There's most likely at least twice the amount posted in here, just that they're in hiding.

I had a discussion recently about this with my mother. She believes that many celeb men really are FAs only that because they're in the spotlight, they feel like they have to "do the right thing" and date those they aren't actually all that attracted to. In fact, she believes this is the reason behind continuously failed marriages and marriage-hopping.

And the more I think about it, the more I believe it's most likely true, too.

That would be awesome and hilarious. The marriage hopping is probably better explained primarily due to their celebrity status, constantly being in the spotlight and such (tabloids and other form of media)

Both of you make an FA album together so I can bump it in my car. Please. You both got beats and vocals. I'll spit too if you give me time. lol

along this vein Alber Albez of the house of Lanvin is not an FA but a pretty good advocate for fat women and fashion. he's also a cute lil BHM

Notes of a Pianist, by Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869)
Edited by his sister, Clara Gottschalk; Translated from the French by Robert E. Peterson; London, 1881

Feuilleton du Siècle, Paris, 1 November 1850

The American pianist, Gottschalk, has very recently obtained in Switzerland one of those successes which one may, notwithstanding la banalité of the formula, qualify as difficult to describe. Jenny Lind has almost been surpassed, for we have never heard that she was carried off bodily. This accident has happened, it is said, to Gottschalk. A young, pretty, and robust Genevese girl waited for him at the coming out of the concert, where the pianist had been covered with flowers, and enveloping him all at once in a large mantle took him in her arms and carried him off, which the frail and delicate nature of her victim permitted her to do easily, to the general consternation. We do not know if this is true; we tell it as it was told. What is certain is, that the young pianist precipitously left Geneva after having been the delight of the elegant society there, by playing with charming grace his favorite compositions, "Bamboula", "la Savane", "le Bananier", and his caprice on "le Songe d'une nuit d'été".

The generously-proportioned young woman drove away with Gottschalk in her carriage, and nothing was heard from him until he reappeared some 5 weeks later.

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

This one sparked my interest because I do the same thing for women who gain weight
but upon further investigation about Farouk and Narriman, it doesn't seem to be true and in fact the OPPOSITE.

Extremely plump, she was put on a weight-loss program to please her future husband and schooled in court etiquette.

That's from wikipedia which you can't always trust but in all the photos of her she's pretty damn thin and all other sources mention she lost weight before they married (to please him) as well.

Fail

On the other hand, Anna Wintour does not like fat people.

It was also revealed that Gabourey Sidibe was rejected from appearing on the cover of Vogue because of her size.

I would actually buy vogue if Gabourey Sidibe was on the cover

I was browsing through this thread earlier this evening, and after watching Lopez Tonight for the first time...his intro....he might be married to a bbw, but he is MOST DEFINITELY not an FA. That or he is just another who makes fun of bbw's for ratings. His monologue was riddled with fat hatred tonight in my opinion.
