Firstly: the Fatshionista Twitter feed is being revived through the combined efforts of myself (insofar as remembering it exists) and the inimitable etana, who has fully embraced the art of blogging things in 140 words or less. Prior to today it hadn’t been updated in nearly a year, but if you’re into Twitter you should […]
Big news, y’all; according to a new study, it turns out being fat will kill you. I know, I was shocked too. Gary Whitlock, possibly not a real doctor, asserts: “Obesity causes kidney disease, liver disease and several types of cancer, but the most common way it kills is by causing stroke and, most importantly, […]
Reading List: Meghan McCain, Unexpectedly Broad-Minded (If Not Broad-Assed)
By Lesley | March 16, 2009
Via Jezebel, Meghan McCain responds to attacks on her weight both on The Daily Beast and on The View. The backstory to this is that Meghan McCain, daughter of Republican Presidential nominee John McCain, recently posted to her blog on The Daily Beast with some disparaging comments about Ann Coulter, and how McCain believes Coulter […]
I am behind on everything lately. I owe responses to two-week-old emails; I have things from both B & Lu and SWAKdesigns to review. And yet here I am, fantasy shopping. Something about this dress is just screaming at me. Possibly it’s that the light cottony sundressy flounciness that represents springtime, which I have on […]
I’m now the proud owner of these high-waisted lamé shorts (in silver dots/back) and I intend on wearing them… IN PUBLIC. My birthday theme this year is “the future” which i’m choosing to interpret as amped-up-hipster-meets-ziggy-stardust with a bit of superhero twist. (the beauty of this theme is that it is very, VERY, LOOSE). Lamé-curious […]
Click through to the Flickr version for outfit info. My long silence is explained! I’ve been off on holiday in Florida, hence the mirror photo above. My vacation was fabulous in spite of the fact that Disney-licensed Crocs were, hilariously enough, involved (I wonder how many people will never trust anything I say about style […]
Click through to the Flickr version for outfit info. I met my husband on the first day of classes in January of 1998; I was a junior, he was a grad student. A compulsive flirt, I (inadvertently) tipped my hand early on in our interactions such that it was plain that I dug him right […]
Via AdFreak, the creepily-named “Active Life Movement” organization is warning parents and kids of the dangers of fatness by… imagining what fat toys would look like. Click any of the images below for the giant screen-filling versions. The tagline for this campaign is “Keep obesity away from your child,” but I am failing to understand […]
Today I was on amazon.com – this is not unusual – and upon adding one of my purchases to my shopping cart, a bunch of weight-loss memoirs popped up as “recommended items”. Arguably the weight loss memoir is a very new genre, one that can probably be traced from the beginnings of large-scale (will these […]
There is no shortage of slut bashing in this world. I remember one of the first times my mother told me that what I wanted to wear was inappropriate. I was about 8, and loved wearing bright colors and crazy patterns (clearly, not much has changed!). I had this gorgeous white ruffled tank top that […]
