I still thought Kristy Alley was hot.

I still thought Kristy Alley was hot.

But, but she's FAT!!!

And everyone knows, all fat people are smelly, entitled, unhealthy, selfish and vile.

Did I forget any adjectives? There's soooo many, it's hard to keep up.


Hope we're all on the same page now.

Whoops forgot about her. Also don't forget Oprah and Magda Szubanski (for those of you who get the original version of Kath and Kim, she plays Sharon on the show)

To answer the question on fat people being attractive, I can come up with a few celebrities who have weight issues and look amazing: Queen Latifah, Aretha Franklin, Christina Schmidt, Velvet D'Amour, Luenell I can't remember her last name...all of these are big women but also end up knowing how to show off what they do have so they look absolutely amazing.

Christina Schmidt also gets a special mention: for those who are unfamiliar, she was Terri in the first three sessions of Degrassi: the Next Generation, playing a character who had self-esteem and body image issues, but wound up working as a plus-size model. When she left the show, she became a model full-time.

I always thought the model story line was far fetched. Even ignoring her weight she was incredibly plain, pale, and had straggly hair. She looks better now that she is finished with pubery and has photoshop on her side but she is still not better then a 6.

And just naming off fat celebrities doesn't make them an example of a good looking fat person. Not all celebrities are hot, especially when they are fat. I'm surprised Rosanne and Chris Farley haven't been mentioned yet. "These people are fat and famouse!!!! I proved my point somehow!!!! All fat people must be super duper smoking hot!!!!!!!!!!!"

Well, of course the people mentioned aren't going to be enough to someone who believes fat people are hideous and cannot be good looking simply because of their weight. Didn't y'all know only skinny people are allowed to be considered good looking?

Tell that to those who find BBW to be a fetish (and they're not all 300lb folks either). Funnily enough, my boyfriend finds me good looking, hell, Nyoibo thought I was good looking when I met him (he is actually quite handsome himself ), and even though I didn't stack on the kilos until AFTER I finished high school, quite a number of people thought I was good looking at around 80-90kg, although not exactly falling into the "hot" category.

Also I should add as well, that according to some weight sites, my weight in pounds is 221lb. Just so you know...

Mod Warning: Above link may not be safe for work.

Check out this blog, there are tons of pictures of very attractive "fat" girls. Though I'm sure you'll think they're all disgusting because they're over 100lbs.

*edit* Sorry a warning, some images here aren't work safe. Should have put the warning beforehand!

Not all celebrities are hot, and not all fat people must be super duper smoking hot!!!!!!. What makes you think we ever said that?

Rosanne is not an attractive person, ether in looks or personality. I did like her show growing up, but she was never attractive by my standards, and I love strong women.

As for Chris Farley? He's a corspse. Only the necrophilics of the board would ever consider him hot now. Back in the day? Maybe.

Queen Latifah

I still thought Kristy Alley was hot.

Both of these are good examples of attractive larger women. Even "thin" Kristy Alley looks big (she looks like a tall woman with a large frams?).

Also, please, if you're going to post links to sites with pictures that are not PG or "safer" - PLEASE post a warning (and please go back and edit - or can the mods please?). Some of us are at work and don't want to get flagged for viewing sites we shouldn't. So far two of the links fall under this.

Queen Latifah shouldn't even be considered "fat" anymore.

But even when she was, she was gorgeous.

and for other overweight actresses who are good looking (which, I will not argue that there are some overweight actresses who are hideous, Rosane being one of them), I'll also put forward Nikki Blonsky from Hairspray

Really? Her? Her arms are all weirdly proportioned and her face looks like a troll.


Apparently all it takes to be good looking is to have a vaugly human shape and not be covered in fur if these examples are anything to go by.

I'm sure you'd be considered a hero for filling up the eating disorder wards then....

Nah, overly skinny people are also kind of gross. Too many people go with extremes rather then taking things in moderation.

[blas87]

Too skinny is disgusting, on both males and females.
