Sometimes I feel guilty about my lifestyle. That I should answer the call to man up and settle down with a white American woman to crank out white American babies. And then I see stuff like this:
She’s known for having a much fuller figure than the average Hollywood starlet.
But Huge actress Nikki Blonsky really doesn’t worry about being bigger than the average girl.
The Hairspray star was spotted today in New York grinning and looking anything but downcast.
Nikki’s new TV show is called Huge and is about a young girl forced into fat camp, but unlike other shows about obese or overweight people, Blonsky’s character will not be trying to lose weight or treat her curves as a problem to be solved, but will celebrate them.
‘Everybody wants us to hate our bodies,’ her character Willamina says at one point. ‘Well, I refuse to.’
The first episode started with her doing a racy strip-tease to flaunt her body at the beginning of the show.
Nikki says: ‘I relate a lot to this character, the way she carries herself, the way she acts and the fact that she doesn’t care what people think about her because her opinion of herself is really the most important.
…and my guilt vanishes like ice cream down a porker’s gullet. I can’t get to Rio soon enough.
Hat tip to Tarl for the story. It wasn’t stupid enough for the Stupid Girl of the Month award, but it sure was for a separate post.

i wonder if she’ll celebrate her stumps when her legs are amputated due to diabetes.

“I’m a skinny girl, I care about what other people think.”
“I’m a big girl, I care about what I think.”
“I’m a man, I do things.”
In my weaker moments, I have banged women who were “pleasantly” chubby- but never that fat.
I have a sister, a cousin, and two sisters-in-law fatter than that. All from “Christian”, relatively conservative families. One of my wife’s midwives was an actually devout Christian and homeschooler at least half again that size.
On the other hand, my wife lost 70 pounds this year and is now wearing small size clothing for the first time ever. Combination of a Keoni Galt-style diet change and stopping being a crazy bitch.
On the gripping hand, my wife’s porker sister recently also lost much of the lard, but it appears that she was working up to a divorce.
America. Fuck yeah.
I would like to see how a lot of these foreign ladies hold up when their active lifestyles are replaced with inert service jobs and agribusiness lobbyists distort the food supply with subsidies that result in a tsunami of delicious ranch-flavored corn-derived snack foods.
I haven’t decided whether the modernist compulsion to convert people with syndromes and defects into self-satisfied identity groups or the neo-puritanical compulsion to self-flagellate our own tribe with exaggerated and moralizing accounts of our alleged flaws is more obnoxious. I will let you know when I’ve made a determination.
Besides, I prefer denial as a coping mechanism. For instance, I think it’s bullshit that I’m classified as “obese” because I have a “BMI” of “30″. Both my mother and grandmother have assured me that I look very “healthy” and am “not fat at all”. I respect their opinions more than those of some “experts” with their charts and salads and studies and skinny jeans and single chins.
Uh, I was under the impression that Brazilian culture was far more appreciative of women with big asses than ours…?
[Big asses, si. Spare tires, no. - ed.]
that’s too bad, and I really loved Hairspray, too. I have a copy of it and I think it’s one of the best written movies I’ve seen in a long time. I haven’t seen the broadway, but I heard it’s good. It can’t possibly be as bad as Cats, that’s for goddamn sure. I can’t believe how inane and pointless that musical was, I felt violated after watching it.
“I relate a lot to this character, the way she carries herself, the way she acts and the fact that she doesn’t care what people think about her because her opinion of herself is really the most important.”
There’s never been a woman alive who didn’t care very deeply about what people think. Case in point: Ms. Blonsky has intuited that people will think of her better if she constantly pretended not to care about what people think.
Sad part is, the generation of thuggish bastard spawn will gladly fuck that whale.
Dude that’s not a spare tire, that’s a whole truck.
Aaron:”i wonder if she’ll celebrate her stumps when her legs are amputated due to diabetes.”
That’ll be a great opportunity for her to reflect on her eating habits…
…and to reach the conclusion that it was all the fast food/ice cream/chocolate companies fault and to subsequently sue them for all they’ve got.
I wonder how long it will be until sumo wrestling becomes popular among American women.
This reminds me why I decided not to stay in America. Not only that. Most obese women think they are princesses and they treated with contempt and hostility.
Bye Bye, America. I don’t miss you at all.
Buy your plane tickets to Brazil, ASAP
If you don’t leave in time, these fatties will become so big their gravitational pull will make it impossible for airplanes to takeoff.

Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac Dies In Chimney Trying To Break Into Boyfriend’s Home
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/31/dr-jacquelyn-kotarac-dies_n_701355.html
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A doctor involved in an “on-again, off-again” relationship apparently tried to force her way into her boyfriend’s home by sliding down the chimney, police said Tuesday. Her decomposing body was found there three days later.
Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, first tried to get into the house with a shovel, then climbed a ladder to the roof last Wednesday night, removed the chimney cap and slid feet first down the flue, Bakersfield police Sgt. Mary DeGeare said.
….The man’s identity was not revealed by police, but the man who resides in the home is William Moodie, 58….
On the subject:
http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2010/09/01/fat-and-health/
Yesterday I had a videoconference with a female friend of mine.
She is European and lives in America. When she arrived to the States, she was slightly overweight.
She loved America from the outset. Some years have passed, while she has integrated in the society and adopted American culture. She works as a kindergarden teacher.
Now, she has become a whale. Completely obese with a belly similar to that of a pregnant woman. She has double chin. Furthermore, she has a disgusting tattoo, on the shoulder, which is vulgar and low class. She has colored some of her hair with poor taste. She dresses with poor taste. She has become the perfect example of white trash.
I am 40 and she turns 28 next week and believe me that I keep myself a lot more fit and attractive than her.
Her character has also changed. In our country, she was the perfect girlfriend: she stood with a guy for years, trying to make a family with him. In America, she has done lots of casual sex, ridden the “alpha cock carousel”, cheated on his boyfriend.
This is what makes American culture to a nice foreign girl. I remember how nice she was. Now I am ashamed to be her friend.
So many things, combining in the west (mostly America) to create women that are…an island unto themselves. If I had to pick the major ones…
- More fast-food conglomerates than there are people in California, one on every corner.
- Any attempt to shame any woman for anything results in a discrimination lawsuit (My Daddy Government can beat up your Daddy Government!).
- A culture of self-importance that extols hedonism and excess, without regard for the consequences.
- A complete absence of nutritional education (I don’t remember the last broad I met (my age or younger) that can cook better than I can, and I’m good but not great…)
- Corn syrup in everything.
I’d say those are the big 5. Speaking of big…that Nikki Blonsky is a huge bitch (its sad that can say that without irony)
This is why I dropped out of pop culture… or I should say one of the many reasons. The really unfortunate thing is that I’m not anti-fat by nature. There have always been obese people throughout history. But before everything went to hell and obese became the norm, you could feel bad for fat people and also appreciate them for whatever other good qualities they had. Now you have to be careful not to offend the oh so sensitive feelings and the fat is like an intentional challenge to polite society. Ugh.
There are so many issues at play here. To me, the biggest factors are nutrition and exercise. On the nutrition side, we have to look at reducing consumption of grains, starches, corn syrup, and refined sugars.
Here is a really good lecture on the evils of fructose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
On the exercise side, the fact is that most people simply don’t have a clue and the health club/fitness industry doesn’t help that situation at all. In fact, the business model of the typical globo gym relies on that ignorance. Go to any LA Fitness and look at the amount of space taken up by useless exercise machines, treadmills, and ellipticals, and compare that to the space given to free weights. The free weights are what help people get stronger but it’s all the other stuff that gets people in the door. Crazy. The real kicker though is that most people simply have no clue what they’re doing in the gym. They don’t understand the concept of programming – of setting goals and working towards them systematically. Nope. If you ask them, they’ll tell you they’re just their to get a little exercise and get “toned”. What a crock of shit. Makes no sense whatsoever.
OT: If you want a decent gym, search one that trains bodybuilders.
“Fat Beauty” is not the major offender: Hairspray advocated EVERY Liberal, PC pro-gay, pro-minority propaganda that destroyed America.
Guess no one wants to see her dance, cover up her insecurities and be entirely unhealthy.
