Layla LaShelle, who weighed between 350 to 450 pounds during her porn career, pioneered fat-focus videos such as Big Bad Bertha, Big Mama Jama and the Fat Ladies of the Evening, Let Me Tell Ya About Fat Chicks, Fat Ends - with Trinity Loren and Ron Jeremy, and Sumo Sue and the F.L.O.W. (Fat Ladies of Wrestling) with Brandy Alexandre.

Hans Hornstein writes on RAME that Layla "blazed the path for later and current fat porn actresses like Teighlor (who was her protege), SinDee Williams, Eartha Quake and Melanie Anton."

In 1994, the Newbury Park porn actress celebrated her size and sexuality with a cunning 14-year old boy who turned her into the police.

Laurie Arden - Layla's real name - picked up the lad through a youth employment program. She hired him to help her move.

After the 14-year old told the police about their encounters, Laurie was arrested at the E-Z 8 Motel in Newbury Park on July 27, 1994. The boy testified that Arden showed him images on a computer screen and in magazines of nude women, including herself.

Laurie pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, one count of sexual penetration with a foreign object (he used a dildo on her) and one count of showing explicit photos to a minor (video Big Bertha). The judge was going to let her off with probation but changed his mind after he decided that Arden showed no remorse for her sins.

After reading statements Arden made in a probation report, Superior Court Judge Charles W. Campbell said he was particularly distressed over one statement in which Arden said she seduced the boy because she had felt sorry for him.

The boy had testified at a previous trial of another older woman charged with statutory rape.

Laurie Arden served one year in jail for her crimes.

Layla got her first starring role as Thunder Thighs in 1988's Jane Bond Meets Thunderthighs. "The whole thing is so awesomely gross that you can't help laughing," says Bob Rimmer. The 300-pounder meets a 100-pound character Wimpy who speaks in a "scared-to-death, high, squeaky voice. Naked alongside Shayla, whose tits hang over her delta and whose ass is really a moon, Wimpy looks tiny enough to crawl into her vagina and disappear - if he could find it... He can't, and finally has to use a dildo."

After engaging in earnest thrusting, and quivering orgasmically, Wimpy is told by Layla that he'd been in her belly button.

Thunderthighs wraps things up at dinner by singing new lyrics to "I'm in the Mood for Love," to "In the Mood For Food."

In Mark Arnold's (Ed Powers) Fat Ends, she stars with 150-pound Trinity Loren. Ron Jeremy, almost as obese as Layla, does her in this 1989 video. "His ten inch schlong isn't long enough to find it's way through her mountainous buns," reports Bob Rimmer, "but she has no trouble deep throating his dong as she lies on her bed looking like a puddle of jello. Jeremy squirts all over her ass."

"He could reach my buns allright," says Laurie, "and I have the pain in the ass to prove it.

"In 1990 Ron and I did standup comedy routines for a little-seen video The Naked Truth, which stood standup convention on its ear by having the comics wear almost nothing."
