Venus of Willendorf

The Venus of Willendorf was sculpted approximately 25,000 years ago.
It is one of the earlier works of art ever discovered.

Carl Jung considered her the archetype of The Great Mother. He wrote,
"Her pendulous breast can nourish all comers. She swells with abundance--she promises
fulfillment of need (Jung, 1969, p.26).

Dimensions!

Dimensions Magazine is one of the best ways to find a penpal, friend, date, life partner, or soulmate. The magazine is primarily composed of the personal ads of BBW’s and their admirers, lovingly known as "fat admirers," or "FA's" for short. These are people with a decided preference for fat partners, and generally, the bigger, the better.

The magazine features a few BBW models (no nudity, sometimes lingerie), in each bi-monthly issue, as well as many interesting articles and columns. You may write to them at: Dimensions Magazine, P.O. Box 640, Folsom, CA 95763-0640. Highly recommended.

Dolphins!

In 1996, I fulfilled a lifelong dream by swimming with dolphins for two days in the Florida Keys. It was magical. I wish I could do it every day!

If you would like a dolphin adventure of your own, I highly recommend Dolphins Plus, located in Key Largo, Florida. They accommodate persons of supersizes, like myself, and have wheelchair access. They also have a platform that lowers and raises one into the water, so one doesn't have to worry about how to get in and out of the enclosure. If stairs are a problem for you, let them know in advance, and they can take you to the site via a different route than the rest of the crowd.

You may jump directly to their web site from here: Dolphins Plus, or contact them later at http://www.pennekamp.com/dolphins-plus/.
