Somehow I don’t think Paul McCartney would find this guy particularly amusing.
It’s one thing to dress up as a woman. That I have no problem with.
It’s sick when you feel the need to dress up as a woman and pretend to be fucking HANDICAPPED. :mad:
Enlighten me… why’d you mention just McCartney? Wouldn’t everyone find this guy sick? What event am I ignorant of?
I was just reading something about this (fetish?) in an alternative newspaper. (The Wave)
One of these guys actually shot off his leg to be handicapped.
Very gross to me.
I’m sorry-my message was unclear. They have this fetish described as “wannabes” and “devotees”
I didn’t get the McCartney ref either…
scott, those links were sad. Why? Not because this guy dresses like a disabled woman but because he’s SO tacky.
If one’s going to pretend to be a disabled lady one should do so with style.
lieu; McCartney’s new wife is an amputee.
Ah, you beat me to it, Kal. Heather Mills had her leg amputated, correct?
F_X
Yep, below the knee after a car accident, F.
Yep F_X, she was run over by a police motorcycle and lost her left leg below the knee.
Firstly, may I be the first to mention DORRANCE #9 STEEL HOOKS?
Now that that’s over with:
The fetishising of amputation is called apotemnophila and is recognised in many fetish and medical circles. Here is a decent brief description of it. It’s a very controversial area, with the majority of people unfamilar with it quick to label it “sick” and “perverse”. I’m not sure where I stand on the issue; while I do recognise it as a legitimate fetish and a large part of me wonders what right I have to dictate what other people should do and feel about their bodies, I don’t think it’s just a case of saying “different strokes for different folks.” It’s an extreme fetish and I think before any actual steps are taken towards physical alteration people considering it should have some therapy to discover what the reason behind their fetish is and whether alternative ways can be sought to satisfy their fetish.
However, a large group of apotemnophiliacs feel they certainly don’t need therapy - this is just the way they want to live their lives. Your gut feeling of outrage and nausia may be valid, but what’s it to you if they do? Why are you so outraged?
Looks like Vicki here prefers Dorrance #5. Different hooks for different kooks, I guess. Haw haw.
I wonder what happened to the gal who liked the #9’s. This whole scene is so morbidly fascinating to me, these threads get me every time. In the FAQs, Vicki talks about the inconveniences of wearing different types of apparatus, so I think it’s more of an attention- getting thing that it is an “I don’t want hands any more” kind of thing. I guess I can *sort of *understand that. Kind of. A little.
How do people who HAVE to wear braces or hooks feel about these people. I think I’d be pretty annoyed that they got to pick and choose their prosthetics depending on their mood. If they wanna-be just like me, I’d want them to be more committed. 
Actually they both like Dorrance #5X.
I only remember that because “Carole” (whose Web site has disappeared at last report) had it on EVERY FREAKIN’ PAGE!
“TWIN BODY POWERED PROSTHESES WITH DORRANCE #5X STAINLESS STEEL HOOKS!”
Ah yes, Carole, that myopic little firecracker. I wonder if she ever went through with it.
Shit, you guys beat me to it!!!
I wonder if this moron had SEVERE MYOPIA!!!
Those photos are the punchline to this very bad joke:
What do you get when you cross a Transvestite with a Transformer?
If you have enjoyed reading this post half as much as I have actually posting it, then I’ve enjoyed posting it twice as much as you have reading it.
Sometimes, words just escape me. :eek:
Reminds me of that scene in Crumb, where Crumb reveals that the reason his brother Charles used to go around town in a hat and long coat with his leg tied up like Long John Silver was that he was sexually fixated on the kid who played Jim Hawkins in Treasure Island.
On Thursdays, I’m a poodle. A very bad poodle.
Sure you guys all sit around and criticise this man’s sickness…
but will anyone give him a hand?
:cough:
I gotta hand it to ya, jar, that was bad.
