Being that I have always been dancing along the borders of Fat Town, myself, (You know, I’ve been a little fat or very fat, and once I was the Mayor of Fat Town, too. Or maybe I ate all the mayo in Fat Town…I dunno.) I thought that it was important that I shed some light on a little-known truth. You see, as a chubby girl I get away with a lot because the good spirit in the sky not only blessed me with being a big girl, but he also blessed me with some big tools I would need to survive in this big world; a big mouth, big brains and really splendid, big breasts. So, I kinda rule in my own way and I do not suffer from fatscrimination, like some less-blessed, more-large folks do. That’s why I have to get this little-known truth out there, big time:

Fat people are kind of dope.

Yeah, I said it.

Fat people are kinda dope, for real.

Now, I am not saying that their fatness makes them dope, but you gotta kinda question the whole, “Large and in charge,” thing.

Because seriously, fat people do not get the recognition that they deserve a lot of the time. Turn on the TV…unless you are watching a commercial for McDonalds or about cleaning products, you are not going to encounter fat people on the tube. Look at most “famous” folks out there in HollywoodLand…not a lot of fatties there, either. And when was the last time you saw a fat person gracing the cover of a major magazine that wasn’t about, yeah, wait for it…fat people.

It’s a damn tragedy! A fucking outrage!

Fat people have done a lot for our society and here at AntiSteez we think it’s about time that they stand up and be recognized! (Or maybe I think that it’s about time that they get some props, but Lou gave me an Admin password to this site which kind of makes me feel like God and I am going to stand on this Antisteez soapbox and speak to the fat masses and rile them up!!!! So there.)

So, Antisteez (and ms. goobs), are declaring October 14 – November 14, NATIONAL FATWARENESS MONTH. (Who cares that Fatwareness Month doesn’t fall in just ONE month? That’s how we fat people do it. We spread it out. We need TWO months to do our thing.)

Yes, a whole 31-day special on Fat History and Awareness where we revel in all things portly! Where we inundate ourselves in big folks and we celebrate their rolls and their roles in popular culture. (Yeah, I said their “rolls”. So what? I have rolls. Most fat people do. Get over it. Eat some rolls and get on my level, Stick People.)

We are going to celebrate the biggest big people around. Bigs who made it big and did it big in a big way. Each day we will feature a fattie who has made the cut. Yes…31 FATCONS for you to get to know about. Fatcon, meaning Fat Icon, of course.

And with that said, we would like to introduce our first Fatcon for Fatwareness Month on Antisteez:

#30:

ALFRED HITCHCOCK

A look at Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock was not a small man. He wasn’t, like, a hefty dude either. No, he was rather…portly. In fact, his chub-rock profile was famous! Alfred Hitchcock was a Fatcon for sure. The man who brought us thrillers like The Birds, North by Northwest, Psycho and The Man Who Knew Too Much was, in fact, a man that weighed too much. He was a fat and he was great. In fact, he was even knighted and was Sir Alfred Hitchcock for a few months before he died in 1980. And he did not suffer from low self-esteem, either. Just because he was not a dashing leading man, type, didn’t mean that he wasn’t on camera all the time. In fact, he often gave himself little cameos in his movies…just to let his presence be known. That is some swag-type ish and a sign of a fatty with lots of confidence! Hurray! Mr. Hitchcock had an amazing career and because he was unstoppable when it came to making films, his legacy lives on today. Thank you for being an amazing and inspirational Fatcon, Mr. Hitchcock.

Please enjoy this video of Mr. Hitchcock’s cameos and get a glimpse of the man who made #30 on our Fatwareness Month countdown.

And so we move on to #29…
