Those who believe in the decline and ultimate collapse of
Western civilisation might point accusingly for evidence at a woman
who lives in ramshackle series of apartments in near-rural New
Jersey, and seems perfectly normal except for her often-stated
desire to increase her weight to 450 or so kilograms, or one old
fashioned half a tonne.
Donna Simpson is making an Everest of her own body, and pulling
herself to this pinnacle with her mouth. Or she's digging her grave
with it; though she avers that she is healthy.
Currently her weight hovers at around 270 kgs, or 600 pounds.
From now on I'll give the imperial equivalents because they seem
more imperial. Donna Simpson is soft-spoken. She is fond of pop
music. It wouldn't be unfair to say that she is enjoying the
attention her quest has provoked. When we visited her last week,
she was excited that Reuters would be following in our footsteps
several days later. She likes to recount the television interviews
she has done, with whom, and what the interview was about. They are
variations on the theme of, "Sit back, and look at this extremely
fat woman."
Having received encouragement from the FA, or "Fat Admirer"
community, Donna believes she is a sex symbol.
FAs favour all different kinds of women. Your chubby women
(around 120kg) who are pursued by, yes, chubby chasers. Then your
BBWs (Big Beautiful Women) tip the scales at anything under 400
pounds. SSBBWs are over that mark. The SS is for Super-sized. Such
physical bombshells are able to earn, as Donna does, money over the
internet from websites, posing in various permutations of gluttony
and subservience for FAs.
FAs are generally thinner men, but women too can be connoisseurs of
cellulite. I'm not sure these arrangements are as much about sex as
they are about ritual; some would argue the two are
indistinguishable, and they're welcome to do so. Anyway, Donna
recounted for me how one of her most popular "sets" or sets of
photographs involved her being shackled to a refrigerator, and
consuming the contents. In another "set" she was force fed through
a tube by a friend who weighs 650 pounds. She said she didn't find
this particularly arousing.
Well, we're agreed on that.
I found Donna polite, and able to laugh at herself. I'm not
convinced by her protestations that if you gorge yourself on
healthy food, it's more beneficial than eating rubbish. Whatever
she is doing, it's difficult to say the effect is anything more
reprehensible than the 10 plastic surgery procedures small-time
reality star Heidi Montag recently had in an afternoon. I'm not
saying the latter is sexy, either. What I did notice about Donna
was that everything slowed down around her. When you're 600 pounds,
it's impossible to move quickly. She needed items brought to her,
like tables and stronger chairs. She became the centre of
things.
