Happy Halloween, kids. It’s been such a rollercoaster of a month, I have no costume plans, so if I do wind up throwing something together tomorrow (we have a couple of party invites which we may or may not accept) it’ll be a Wacky Surprise. Leopard-spotty dress is from Evans; purple cardi is really old, […]
In the absence of my own content as of yet this week, here is a delicious link buffet. First: Why Fat Studies (and All Identity Studies) Hurt Higher Education*: The author argues, in a nutshell, that when it comes to identity politics and academia, ne’er the twain shall meet.

There’s a quaint little shop that’s opened up in my ‘hood that I’ve discovered I enjoy. Though it has no knowledge of two whole cakes it does carry whatever my fellow hoodlums sell or trade in.

EDIT: The podcast is up! You can listen to it on the web here (click the “Listen to this show” button at the top of the page), or get it via iTunes here. While I’m waiting for the podcast of my radio debut (warning: some of those comments will cost you mightily in Sanity Watchers […]
Have you visited the Museum of Fat Love lately? I’m slowly catching up on submissions, and would always love to see more. Send me your story and picture to join the ranks of the happily fat-coupled. In other, equally exciting news, this morning I had a fabulous time participating in a roundtable discussion on fat […]
Ever wonder what your intrepid Fatshionista blogger sounds like? Tomorrow’s your chance to find out. Feel the performance anxiety as I resist my natural inclination to talk too much and too fast! Thrill as I try not to lisp! Yours truly will be joining national treasure Kate Dailey and an as-yet-unknown Medical Representative Kenneth Thorpe, […]
