Last weekend I had the unqualified pleasure of visiting with Deb, the brains and beauty behind the up-n-coming Re/Dress, which is soon to be NYC’s most amazing plus-size vintage resource (and possibly the world’s, considering the neverending struggle it is to find fatty vintage). The shop’s not open yet, but Deb has been vending at […]
I have an obsession with the color red. Some would find this odd since I can’t see red. Some would find it odd since red is such a vibrant and hard-to-match color. Some would find it odd because they simply don’t care. Which I can respect. I’ve also discovered an obsession with peep-toe shoes. As […]
Give me your sticky, your sweaty, your tight and revealing; give me your cowhide and vegan-wear. Calls for leather-wear fattie style go here!
I had a Moment today, at the doctor’s office. I saw the nurse practitioner that I’ve been seeing since having the flu back in February. I love my actual doctor, but the nurse practitioner is easier to get an appointment with, and has been nothing but polite and wonderful in general. Add to that my […]
Now that spring is here (or in any case, I can be relatively certain that it isn’t going to snow) I’ve been thinking a lot about fat and cycling. I bought a new bike this year, for the first time ever—all of my previous bicycles had been chosen for me, first by my folks, and […]

I’ve been trying to write something about this book – Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir, by Jennette Fulda – but I just can’t get past my incoherent babbling and frothing-at-the-mouth phase, into my articulate and calm critical-discussion phase. I haven’t read the whole thing, just excerpts. I’m not sure I can read the whole thing without […]
One thing I hate is that the term “regular sizes” seems to imply that anything outside the size 0-12 range is “irregular.” At my retail day job, I bite my tongue and use the actual size range to answer any questions when asked where “the regular sizes” are. The snarky demon in me, looking for […]
I generally avoid discussing medical studies and/or “BUT FAT WILL KILL YOU!” type media here. This is for a few reasons. One is that I vigorously believe that my health is nobody’s business but my own, and that other folks’ health is no business of mine. So I tend to just shrug and turn the […]
I’ve recently been rediscovering the joy and despair of scouring eBay for plus-size vintage (motivated by the ever-fabulous stitchtowhere’s powerful thrift-fu), and while I do occasionally find something in my size that does not cost a million dollars, most of what I uncover is stuff that is just barely too small for me. In that […]

Here we will discuss the ins and outs of fat fashions, seriously and stupidly — but above all — standing tall, and with panache. We fatshionistas are self-accepting despite The Man’s Saipan-made boot at our chubby, […]
