Red No. 3 →
The “Fat Acceptance Only for the Acceptably Fat” crowd are just invested in getting us to consent to them drawing a line. It doesn’t really matter where they are trying to draw it at any given point. What they really care is that we let them draw a line, because then they turn this not into a discussion of rights, respect, and dignity, but one into a negotiation of who they get to deprive of...

Daily Fatspiration: In Defense of 'fatspiration'. →
eatingpaint: According to the media, according to a lot of people, I am a headless body. I am a specter drowning in layers upon layers of ‘flattering’ clothes. I am the boat, floating in a sea of small barges, lithe little vessels who out work, out do and out succeed me in every way. I am a mound of fleshy, ugly flab. Melting and oozing on to sidewalks, subway cars, airplanes, sinking and...

I know, I know. I don’t post an ootd for aeons, then I post two back to back. What can I say?

Most of my waking hours are spent incarcerated in what I laughingly call my study - a boot cupboard room measuring 5’ 11” by 7’ 6”. Over the past few weeks I’ve been working flat out on the second edition of...

This frock must be one of the best kept secrets on the fatshion blogosphere right now. Rocked by Georgina and Charlotte Doull on their respective blogs, it came courtesy of online outfitters very.co.uk which, given my dislike of shopping online, I’d never so much as looked at before.  Despite appearances, the dress isn’t white, it’s a delicate, girly shell pink.

Perhaps it’s just the fact that every other 2012 blockbuster threatens to be yet another reworking of a classic fairy tale, but every time I tried styling it another way, whimsy kept dragging me back through the forest towards gingerbread houses and big bad wolves. (Admittedly...

Re-posting in the hope that UK fats and allies...
fuckyeahfatpositive: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/31382 Hello. I’m not sure if this is the sort of thing you normally would post or not, but I figured it was as good a place as any to seek a signal boost. This is a petition to create a law against size and weight discrimination in the UK…. Attention UK based fatshionistas, allies, fat friends and relations! When I tell...
