Top Ten Sexiest Fat Chicks in Music

I'm into fat chicks. I run a blog about this subject because, even though I'm not alone (oh, not even close) it's still rare for dudes to come out and say it. Last year, LA Weekly's sister paper Village Voice did a whole story about me and some of my friends. And while the phrase "fat chicks" makes some people wince, I use it to counter the "No Fat Chicks" bullshit you see on t-shirts.

So the chicks I consider hot didn't exactly have a shot at our Sexiest Female Musicians poll (in an L.A. paper? Are you nuts?), but my editor was nice enough to let me pay tribute to ten women who make a pretty good case for hotness at any size.

10. Jill Scott
Jill Scott's sensuality is so casual -- easy, suave, comforting -- that she's a role model for millions just for coming off like, "Oh. Am I fat? I didn't notice." This is all done while sitting on your lap and rubbing her home-designed bra-fitters in your face. Adele could learn something from Scott's ability to look tasteful without abjuring the bodily fluids.

9. Missy Elliott
So what if she donned a garbage bag and tried to de-sexualize her image for years before creating some of the best, horniest hits of the 2000s? "Work It," "Get Ur Freak On," "One Minute Man" -- there is no one freakier, and, what's more, she made selling points out of her "thick legs" and "chubby waist." She said it, not me: "Keep your eyes on my badompadomp-domp."

8. Ann Wilson
I'm sure plenty of horny '70s boys pulled their barracuda to Nancy. But I absolutely guarantee you that half the ones who told you they did were really jerking it to the thought of Ann "down on [her] knees."

7.Beth Ditto
Pose on NME's cover butt-naked? Check. Shoot transgender porn (link NSFW) for a lesbian mag while on her period? Check. Jiggle her belly rolls in your fucking face dripping in showbiz sweat? Check. Beth Ditto don't give a fuck. You'll like it and ask for more.

6. Maya Ford/Donna F
The Donnas are so much cuter than the Spice Girls ever were, not least because of their chubdorable bassist, whose shy pout and pigtailed hotness aren't seen nearly enough in the "40 Boys and 40 Nights" video, or -- come to think of it -- any of their clips. Come on girls, share the girth.

Renata Celidonio is an amazing Brasilian singer/actress/comedienne,started in the theatre, then moved on to musical theatre(she has a wonderfull voice!) and most recently had ground breaking sucess in a Globo Network ( the most important brasilian tv network) "Novela" (the brasilian version of american soup-opera's...much better actually!) becoming a national "plus size" (I hate that label!) celebrity...besides all that's been said, and knowing her personally, I must say she deserves all the attention and glories she's been collecting.... for Renata's a talented and WONDERFULL human being!

Someday I feel that women, regardless of size will all be considered sexy, and perhaps there won't be a need for article's like this, as the list will be about sexy women, PERIOD.However, this is not the future, so I applaud Mr. Weiss for showing the world that women with real curves are sexy, and that he certainly not alone in this perception. Kudos, sir.

I believe the term is: ”badonka-donk-donk”, re: Missy Elliott's ”Work It”.

Lowest of the low, right here. LA Weekly's lowest common denominator lists are not only stupid, condescending and insulting, they really take away from music coverage that the city deserves. Remember when LAW actually talked about local music? Instead of trolling for hits, find us a good act to listen to.

I am really trying not to be offended by the verbiage used and to instead take this in the vein the writer seems to intend, but why is this a completely different category than the plain ol' "Sexiest Female Musicians" list that ran a few days ago? Especially since at least half of these women are far sexier than friggin Avril Lavigne could ever dream to be.

One might think themselves more "highly evolved" or whatever because he can see beauty in larger body shapes, but to separate women because of their body size and not even consider them as part of what is acceptable as "sexy" by mainstream media and popular thought just adds to the shitbowl of superficiality we as a culture suffer from.

Ikss: I am a fat woman, 300 pounds. I am grateful for the work DanWeiss has done to promote his preference as something acceptable andnormal, rather than something sick and weird. I don’t think a preferencefor overweight women makes anybody highly evolved, but your lack ofself-awareness doesn’t give me much hope about the state of your own mentalevolution. You judge Avril Lavigne for not meeting your standards of beauty andalso condemn anyone who finds her attractive. Yet, you are offended by others who indulge in appearance judging behavior, and you don't seem to perceive any hypocrisy.

Superficiality is not a cultural ingrained trait. It issomething that is genetically innate in male sexuality, and often femalesexuality as well. Appreciating superficial appearance is also not mutuallyexclusive with respecting women as human beings. Some people even fall in lovewith people they find superficially sexy. It happens all the time. Plenty ofpeople have types. They are attracted to one body type more than another type. Some guys are into tall blondes, some are into girls with a sweet cute demeanor, some art into fat singers. It's not a sin to have a type.

Admittedly, you have a point about Avril Lavign. It was not my intention to disparage anyone's personal tastes, not even the author's, even though I have an issue with the term "fat chick." By including her name, I'm sure I was doing so.

Other than that, you missed my point, entirely. I understand that men (and plenty of women) are visual creatures. You seem to have misinterpreted my comment as a personal attack on the author and his blog, which is untrue. I have no issue at all with his glorifying the female form - here or on his blog. And I agree - it's cool that he's glorifying a form that is not often celebrated in media. Where in my comment did I disparage anyone for being, as you say, "superficial" or indicate that one person's "type" is more acceptable than another's?

What I take issue with is separating women who are not a size zero, as if they must be viewed differently to be considered sexy; as if they could not be included on the original list, because of their size.

You write of Mr. Weiss' efforts to view larger women as "something acceptable andnormal." That's exactly my point and I don't think we disagree at all, really.Therefore, I'm not sure why you felt the need to question my self-awareness and my "mental evolution" simply because I feel that women should be viewed as WOMEN rather than being designated "fat" or not.

I suppose I did miss your point then. I'm used to seeing the same type of knee-jerk negative reaction over and over again so as soon as you said you were offended I assumed your comment fell into the same category. Sorry. You are right, society has a narrow scope of what is considered beautiful. Our standards for beauty can change, but they never seem to widen. Once something is trendy, something else is no longer acceptable.
