She Hung No Fat Men by Bruce Dean
Whiter Coloreds and Slimmer Fats
I saw them eat. I ate with them. I was an apprentice and I had learned the ways of the slovenly.
Talk interfered with consumption. The TV was often on when we ate – loud, to be heard over the sounds of our multiple mouths masticating. If there was just too much food to fit on our laps, my family would move to our custom-built extra-large teak dining table with parallel buffet-style teak hutch, which provided more surface area for food. The table had room for eight large diners.
I’d gradually grown less impressed with the large human body. For too long I’d witnessed too many pounds of flesh that watched too many hours of TV haven eaten too many bags of chips. There’d been too many inadvertent naked revelations of masses of bulged, rolled, and dangled pale-white flesh.
Sleepless at midnight in a dark house, the basement bathroom occupied by a frequently masturbating brother, I trod up the tall cold tile stairs only to have been startled by the rush of white undulating fat; my mother scurried naked out of the bathroom. The harsh loo light followed her mass of shaking cellulite across the hall and disappeared into the darkness of the bedroom she shared with my father.
My mom was a sweet lady with red cheeks that blushed even redder if there was liquor nearby. Her short sensible black hair was not too short to be curled. She was short, with slender legs that protruded from a beach ball body; big boobs, big gut, big but not lazy. Her eyes were big, dark, and always hopeful, like a sad puppy in a velvet painting. She’d always worn a painted smile with a touch of matched bright red lipstick on her teeth that complimented the loud rainbow of colors which embellished the large floral pattern on one of her many constant muumuus.
When mom was too busy, or too depressed to cook, we’d have frozen TV dinners, casseroles, or lasagna, with sides of garlic toast – and always dessert. When my father was around, mom had to be up and was obliged to perform domestic – and we would eat feasts. Dad’s anger would fly if we didn’t eat some of everything. His backhand and bare knuckles would glance off my skull if I spoke with food in my mouth, if I didn’t eat in the correct order, or if I couldn’t eat everything on my plate – and there would always be plenty on my plate. There would be choices of meats and potatoes, often pastas and sauces, with sweet beets, buttered corn, tins of sardines, and jars of pickles – sweet baby gherkins were my favorite – and there always was dessert, but not until I’d cleaned my plate off into my oral garburator.
Salads didn’t attend our table until after the TV and mom’s magazines spoke to her about weight loss, women’s liberation, and the super women who were now expected to have it all. On every radio and TV, Helen Reddy would sing,
♫I am woman hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore.♫♪
I’d just discovered the opposite sex, and my brothers’ porn stash, when I’d found a woman who wasn’t too big and who was difficult to ignore; who didn’t remind me of masses of cellulite that undulated in the spotlight of our midnight hallway. Twiggy was one of the world’s first supermodels. I was a hormone addled boy about to enter my teens. Many of the girls in my age group resembled this waif-er thin model, my new ideal for a woman. Twiggy, this skinny woman on the cover of every magazine that entered my house, wouldn’t fight for too large of a portion of food to fatten – and wouldn’t take any crap from my father. I was in love.
Trapped in a brutal and loveless marriage, she strived to meet the new ideal of woman-roaring; so mom started to teach interior design at the university, attended women’s lib and Weight Watchers meetings, volunteered to help elect Pierre Eliot Trudeau as Prime Minister, helped Morgentaler fight for abortion rights, and raised her five children and a dog. It was a heavy amount of pressure to place upon anyone. She had already endured a strict and abusive religious zealot of a father. She had escaped him to earn a University degree, only to marry back into abuse. Her husband was a son-of-a-bitch, literally. After my dad’s nasty mother had kicked her husband out into the depression’s poverty, she raised a pod of cruel apprentices, our father apparently the worst.
My family were all pretty well fat. Obesity and diabetes the common thread that has been fed by sedentary lifestyles filled with meat, potatoes, strokes, and heart attacks. Mom was always on a diet, in a house of five children who demanded desserts and Kraft Dinner. Diet programs like Weight Watchers and Slim-Fast provided mom and her chubby daughter hope. The magazine, newspaper, and TV advertisements had told them;
“Give Slim-Fast a week, and see the weight come off.”
“…a shake in the morning, a shake for lunch, then a sensible dinner.”
“Weight Watchers; some talking, some listening, and a program that works.
“…this very week you could be on the road to a

Nolan was initially hesitant about returning to the series for a second time, but agreed to come back after developing a story with his brother Jonathan and David S. Goyer that he felt would conclude the series on a satisfactory note. Filming took place in various locations, including locations in Jodhpur, London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh. Nolan utilized IMAX cameras for much of the filming to optimize the quality of the picture. As with The Dark Knight, viral marketing campaigns began early during production to help promote the upcoming film. When filming concluded, Warner Bros. refocused its campaign; developing promotional websites, releasing the first six minutes of the film and theatrical trailers, and sending random pieces of information regarding the film’s plot to various companies. The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled for release in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada on July 20, 2012.[3][4]
Having assumed responsibility for the crimes of District Attorney Harvey Dent in order to protect his reputation, Batman is chased into exile by the Gotham City Police Department. Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the appearance of the mysterious Selina Kyle sets in motion a chain of events culminating in the arrival of Bane, a ruthless terrorist with plans to destroy Gotham City. With the future of the city at stake, Batman must emerge from his exile and confront Bane to bring about an end to his reign of terror.[5][6][7]
Cast
Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman:[8]
A billionaire socialite dedicated to protecting Gotham City from the criminal underworld. Nolan has stated that, due to the eight-year gap between the events of The Dark Knight and those of The Dark Knight Rises, "he’s an older Bruce Wayne; he’s not in a great state."[5] Bale employed a mixed martial arts discipline called the Keysi Fighting Method, but due to Bruce’s current state and Bane’s style, the method had to be modified.[9] Bale has stated that The Dark Knight Rises will be the final film in which he plays Batman,[10] and describes the character’s arc as finally confronting the pain of loss that he has deferred for years by fighting criminals balanced against the need to internalise that pain lest he give into his emotions and become the killer the city already believes him to be.[11]
Tom Hardy as Bane:[12]
A terrorist leader intent on destroying Gotham City. The character was chosen by Christopher Nolan because of his desire to see Batman tested on both a physical and mental level.[5] Bane has been described as "a terrorist in both thought and action"[5] and is "florid in his speech, [with] the physicality of a gorilla".[9] Hardy stated that he intended to portray the character as "more menacing" than Robert Swenson’s version of the character in Joel Schumacher’s Batman & Robin and that in order to do so, his portrayal entailed creating a contradiction between the voice and the body. Hardy gained 30 pounds (14 kg) for the role,[13] increasing his weight to 198 pounds (90 kg).[13]
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle:[12][14]
Selina Kyle is a cat burglar described as "an associate" of Bane[15] who establishes a relationship with Batman that "takes some of the somberness away from his character."[9] Hathaway auditioned not knowing what role she was up for, admitting that she had one character in mind, but only learned that the role was Selina Kyle after talking with Christopher Nolan for an hour.[16] Hathaway described the role as being the most physically-demanding she had ever played, and confessed that while she thought of herself as being fit she had to redouble her efforts in the gym to keep up with the demands of the role.[17][18] Hathaway trained extensively in martial arts for the role, and looked to Hedy Lamarr — who was the inspiration for the Catwoman character — in developing her performance.[15]
Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth:[19]
Bruce’s trusted butler and confidant. Alfred has acted as a father figure to Bruce, and continues to aid Bruce on his missions as well as supplying him with useful advice. Christopher Nolan emphasised the emotional bond between Alfr

One Sunday afternoon, as she unloaded the dishwasher, Gretchen Rubin felt hit by a wave of homesickness. Homesick—why? She was standing right in her own kitchen. She felt homesick, she realized, with love for home itself. “Of all the elements of a happy life,” she thought, “my home is the most important.” In a flash, she decided to undertake a new happiness project, and this time, to focus on home.
And what did she want from her home? A place that calmed her, and energized her. A place that, by making her feel safe, would free her to take risks. Also, while Rubin wanted to be happier at home, she wanted to appreciate how much happiness was there already.
So, starting in September (the new January), Rubin dedicated a school year—September through May—to making her home a place of greater simplicity, comfort, and love.
In The Happiness Project, she worked out general theories of happiness. Here she goes deeper on factors that matter for home, such as possessions, marriage, time, and parenthood. How can she control the cubicle in her pocket? How might she spotlight her family’s treasured possessions? And it really was time to replace that dud toaster.
Each month, Rubin tackles a different theme as she experiments with concrete, manageable resolutions—and this time, she coaxes her family to try some resolutions, as well.
With her signature blend of memoir, science, philosophy, and experimentation, Rubin’s passion for her subject jumps off the page, and reading just a few chapters of this book will inspire readers to find more happiness in their own lives.
