Liposuctioned Fat (Photo : Weibo)
What a Chinese woman named Xiaoxiao did appears to be another form of ex-sweetheart revenge but does not involved naked pictures. It's not revenge porn, but perhaps revenge fat.
That's because Xiaoxiao broke up with her boyfriend, Yang Xiaoei, because she was overweight. Incensed at the separation and likely inspired by a character in the book "Fight Club," the chubby woman underwent liposuction and used the fat taken from her body to make a bar of soap, reports Mashable.
Xiaoxiao then sent the soap to Yang as an advanced Chinese Lunar New Year gift. In a letter she sent to her ex-lover, the spurned woman writes that the only ones who should use her gift are Yang and his mother, who, presumably the once-fat lady had an axe to grind also.
She made sure that Yang did not only get the note and the soap, but also ensured that the whole word knows what happened by posting on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, the whole process from her "fat" photos to Xiaxiao holding the syringe full of fat and the finished product.
Yang responded by chiding her in a text message for pulling a publicity-generating stunt on the internet. He reminded Xiaoxiao that they are no longer a couple. She initially also posted his text message and then deleted it eventually.
Besides Tyler Durden, the character in the book who manufactured soap taken from human fat sucked via liposuction, Orestes de la Paz, a performance artist in Miami, also produced 20 bars of soap using three liters of fat from a liposuction. However, the fat only comprised about 25 percent of the soap, and the remaining 75 percent was from other ingredients and oil.
De la Paz used his own liposuctioned fat which was sucked out of his body in December, reports Huffington Post. The bars of soap produced are on display at the Frost Museum in Miami and he would sell it at a whopping $1,000 per piece. Like his Chinese counterpart, doing so reverts to a line in the "Fight Club" where it was Durden was quoted as saying, "We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them."
When the exhibit opened, de la Paz also washed the hands of those who attended the exhibit - which runs until May 19, 2016 using the soap.
