Rubb My Chubb

If you’re a Torontonian, and hip to the fat revolution, you can’t have missed the recent explosion of the Fat Femme Mafia. Call them what you want. Large and in charge. Larger than life. These women have been hitting the city with the strong words of politics of size. During the inception of the Mafia, we could only gossip with possibilities. Soon there were rumours, whispers, and boisterous claims about the phenomenal event that was to be Chubb Rubb: A Fat Cabaret. This short documentary follows the Fat Femme Mafia, their fat co-conspirators and allies in the days leading up to their first and highly anticipated event. Through interviews, asides, and performances, “Rubb My Chubb” lays the groundwork for these fierce fatties to continue to make their politics known to the rest of the world. Since then, FFM have graced the cover of Xtra! Magazine, MTV, The Toronto Star, and many Pride performance stages, and the appetite for these luscious ladies continues to grow and grow.
