Lesley’s Late-Season and Therefore Possibly-Not-That-Useful Guide to Tights
By Lesley | February 10, 2009
There are three things I hear really, really often: 1. “Whoa, how many dresses do you own?” 2. “Do you EVER wear pants?” 3. “Where do you get your tights?” The answers are: 1. A whole lot. I haven’t counted, but I would guess it’s more than a couple dozen. 2. Yes, but generally only […]
A few days ago I got an email on a subject I’ve actually gotten several emails and comments about recently, and which (for my own stupid reasons which are delineated at the end of this post) I have avoided discussing: As a wheelchair user the biggest insult people seem to throw my way is that […]
Are you heavy or healthy? Is this a message we’re still trying to answer? Haven’t we addressed this in some lecture hall, some street corner conversation, some text alert or bulletin board message? I seem to recall t-shirts or buttons, some bumper sticker I threw away. I swear we covered this already. Find your weight. […]
Two links today: Link the first is this delicious post from Fillyjonk on the perpetual Exception: One thing that claims of this nature have in common is, of course, a particularly navel-gazing kind of hasty generalization — “because something is true for me, it must be true for everyone.†Of all the common informal fallacies, […]
Click through to Flickr version for outfit info.* Today, this blog came up in conversation with my coworkers.** I’m pretty lucky to work in an environment where I can mention my blog where I (alongside my fellow bloggers) post potentially-narcissistic fatshion photos, profanity-riddled rants about challenging expectations (AKA the “fuck you” factor), and notices about […]

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. Self-consciously clever wordplay aside, it is evidently less an illustrated personal story and more like a weight loss book with drawings. But I’m less interested in talking about the book, which I […]
