By | October 31, 2009

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, […]

Friday Tuesday Outfitblog.

By | September 29, 2009

This should have gone up on Friday, but I was out of town for a long weekend, so better late than never. Black dress is pre-pink Torrid (I think it’s the only pre-pink item I have left; it used to have red tulle that poked out of the bottom but I cut that shit off); […]

By | September 18, 2009

I’ve been doing quite a bit of shopping-in-my-closet (and, truth be told, on Etsy) lately, as well as revisiting my slightly-embarrassing goth past. Which of these things is invoking the other, I have no idea; it’s a real chicken-or-the-egg scenario. Brown shirtdress is LB by way of AJ Wright; purple cardi is from Torrid; leather […]

By | September 8, 2009

Another Tuesday, another handful of MODE scans. For the record, anyone interested in these scans is free to take them and do with them as you will; obviously I can claim no copyright restrictions on these materials. On to the scans! Even the premier plus-size fashion magazine had to occasionally cop to the fact that […]

MODE Time Machine: Fall 1998

By | September 1, 2009

Remember when Emme wasn’t a host on a terrible and depressing reality show? More MODE scans after the jump. Before she hosted More to Love, Emme was a model! She also wrote an advice column for MODE that was often insightful, positive, and smart. In the example to the left, Emme discourages plastic surgery, offers […]

Fatshion History: Remembering MODE

By | August 25, 2009

For the uninitiated – MODE was a US-based mainstream plus-size fashion magazine that began publishing in 1997 and ceased in 2001. In my estimation it was the only plus-size fashion magazine that ever had any style. Information on MODE can be hard to find, but this Wikipedia article offers some insights. I loved MODE and […]
