Mikel Ruffinelli: World's Biggest Hips Might Just Be Right Here In Los Angeles

L.A. resident Mikel Ruffinelli sidesteps through doorways and shimmies into her shower stall.

That's because she has nearly 100-inch-wide hips, perhaps the largest in the world. And she's proud of them, calling her look "unique" and "feminine."

But her double-wide life isn't without its challenges:

Everywhere she goes, Ruffinelli says, people whip out their cellphones and take pictures of her 8-foot hips.

Even so, it appears Ruffinelli's worldwide behind isn't official: We couldn't find a record listed at Guinness World Records. But maybe they should be.

Ruffinelli says she got it, of course, from her mama -- that her shape is genetic. She says her hips exploded with each child she bore. She now has four.

"With every child came more hips," Ruffinelli says.

"I love being unique."

@Rabbi_Pedro_Goldstein It fightens me to think that you are a rabbi. You spew such hateful words. Yes, this woman is obese but to imply that she is on welfare and her children are monkeys, is repulsive. The facts show that more white people receive welfare in America than any other group. Additionally, her children are no more monkeys that your children or grandchildren. I implore you to look in the mirror, pick up the word of God and reflect on your sincerity as a man of the clothe and repent. We are all God's children.

I bet her real name is Reggin

Rabbi_Pedro_Goldstein

she must be getting close to $12,000 a month in Welfare for all the little monkeys she popped out.

@Rabbi_Pedro_Goldstein Goldstein, I know this woman and I just would like to say how dare you insult her and you call yourself a Rabbi. Let me also say that if the world had more people like her then this would be a much better world to live in. And lastly you would not appreciate if someone made an Anti Semitic comment towards you or your children. GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH YOUR BIGGOT INSULTS!!!!

How many children did she have? 20?

I wish you would stop glamorizing our nation's obsession with accepting obesity as the new normal.

Entonces tu ya cuantos tienes escondidos? (Griselda, I think this insult worked out better than the last one. Although now I feel like saying the last one on a regular basis.)
