I keep thinking your questions are going to eventually slow to a trickle and then evaporate completely. This may yet happen, but it’s certainly not the case right now. Recently I’ve answered questions on everything from Rufus’ current status to whether I wear dresses to the gym. So, as usual, if you have a question, […]
“This week, on a Very Special Unstapled….” Trigger Warning: This week’s recap touches on both alcoholism and WLS. Last week: Carnie is a giant fatass (though she says it like it’s a bad thing). Dallas tore through Carnie’s pantry. Carnie went back to work at The Newlywed Game. There was farting. We begin this week’s […]
Bigger versions and specifics after the jump. Navy polka-dot dress is by Jane Bon Bon on Etsy; brown cardi from Marshalls (FINALLY DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A DECENT BROWN CARDI); green & black plaid scarf from Marshalls; burgundy tights from We Love Colors; yellow flats from Target.

It’s Friday, kids, and that means it’s time for another installment of Kirstie Alley’s Twitter Wisdom! This week Kirstie gives us choices, and muses on the nature of power and oppression. Kirstie demands you choose. The saga continues… after the jump. Kirstie demands you choose some more. Choose! (Apologies, but… green or blue avatars? What […]

Oh, this is just what I needed today. As a counterpoint to the extreme self-consciousness of famous fat ladies like Carnie Wilson and Kirstie Alley, below is a clip of the always-wondrous Gabourey Sidibe talking about her Oscar nomination on Good Morning America. Gabby is a treasure because she is completely at home in herself, […]
Over the weekend, the lovely and talented Joy Nash left a comment on the Kirstie Alley’s Twitter Wisdom post that read, in part: “Your posts are forcing me to see her humanity and I don’t like it one bit.” Here, Joy has said something in a few words that would have taken me pages to […]
Here’s a shocking confession: I don’t really watch much television. There are but a few shows I follow methodically. Mad Men. Sons of Anarchy (SO underrated). Also, So You Think You Can Dance, when it’s on (when is it on next?). And there are other shows I watch when I happen to notice them. Man […]
First, I have a couple bits of housekeeping: This week’s Unstapled recap will go up on Monday. So try to catch one of the ten billion repeats over the weekend if you want. Also, on Wednesday I updated the Museum of Fat Love for the first time in, embarrassingly, a couple months. My sincere apologies […]
