Fat Girls Are More Beautiful & Desirable Than Skinny Girls - Mikel Ruffinelli

With a bumper backside that measures 8ft around, Mikel Ruffinelli is the owner of a bottom that is large enough to make even Kim Kardashian’s pale in comparison.

Yet despite being just 5ft 4″ and tipping the scales at 30st, Mrs Ruffinelli, 39, from Los Angeles, says she is healthy and has a shape that other women envy, reports DAILYMAIL UK.

‘I have an extreme physique,’ explains the mother-of-four, who has a proportionally small 40-inch waist. ‘I love my curves, I love my hips, I love my attributes.

I love my shape and I see no reason to diet because I don’t have health problems. Men don’t fancy skinny girls, they like an hourglass figure.’

Now she is to appear on a new documentary, World’s Biggest Hips, alongside three other women who boast supersized rear ends.

Among them is Austrian Claudia Floraunce, 40, who also lives in Los Angeles and tips the scales at 23st, and Las Vegas native, Denise Souder, a 56-year-old grandmother-of-two with 74-inch hips – and who, like Mrs Ruffinelli, has turned her ‘curves’ into cold, hard cash.

‘Growing up, I was the chubby girl,’ explains Mrs Souder. ‘I was always the chubbiest girl in the class but I never let it stop me from doing whatever I wanted to do.

‘There are challenges – I can’t get on a rollercoaster. You learn to get around your hips, you learn to embrace your hips, you learn to shop for your hips.
