I have done something I swore I would never do again. I bought a girdle. Well, actually, a girdle and a pointy bra. But the girdle part is the part I had sworn off. I got these in black (probs NSFW). I’m buying them because I have been fantasizing about wearing a girdle and bullet […]
IMPORTANT: None of the links in this post are worksafe. None of them, not even a little bit. Click them at your discretion/peril. April Flores, professional naked lady, has given the world something magical: a fully penetratable cyberskin cast of her snatch. Given that April Flores is unabashedly plus sized, and the flesh surrounding said […]
Click through to the Flickr version for outfit info. I’m smelling a sea change in the air, lately. I find that these shifts happen, from time to time, every couple of years. I’m talking about the coming Dress Plague. Witness: Lane Bryant’s current selection is astonishingly overpriced and even if it weren’t… well, I’ll stop […]
Yesterday, Salon published an interview with Carol Lay, author of the so-called “diet-book graphic memoir” The Big Skinny: How I Changed My Fattitude.

Thus, in the spirit of both Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday, and the intersectional politics part of this blog, I submit for your consideration Simone’s beautiful tribute,: “Why? (The King of […]
1. It’s a shame you’re so underweight. You have such a pretty face! 2. Maybe if you just made a lifestyle change, you know, eating more fat and getting less exercise, you wouldn’t be so underweight. 3. I’m just concerned about your health. Being as underweight as you obviously are is dangerous. 4. There is […]
Awhile back, SWAKdesigns popped up as a subject of conversation on the Fatshionista community over on LiveJournal, as a relatively new and heretofore unknown option for plus-size clothing. Lots of folks seemed happy with it, and honestly, I looked at the site once or twice and then stopped, because it seemed like the offerings in […]
