Musical Interlude: “Dream a Little Dream of Me”

By | November 23, 2009

Given this is a holiday week here in the US, and I’m expecting an influx of out-of-town family for most of the week and into this weekend, I don’t anticipate having time or energy to post much of substance for the next several days. So I’m re-sharing a video that was among the first things […]

A rare moment of (literal) fluff.

By | November 17, 2009

Hello, my loves, and apologies for my prolonged silence; my husband and I were out of town for a short vacation last week, and, unsurprisingly, my blogging has suffered. In other news: This is Rufus. Rufus is one of a pair of abandoned cats my husband and I adopted from the Northeast Animal Shelter in […]

Contexualizing the invisible: How people are talking about Precious

By | November 5, 2009

Tomorrow, the long-awaited and much-buzzed-about (not to mention awkwardly-titled) Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire opens in theaters, and unsurprisingly, the reviews are overwhelmingly effusive thus far. As much as I’d love it if Hollywood felt compelled to send me a screener of every movie with a fat protagonist (c’mon Hollywood, it’s not […]

Returning to the well: Tights and belts and cardigans

By | November 5, 2009

I had reason today to thumb through the archives on this site, something I do embarrassingly infrequently. It’s as though the archives are a cluttered attic and I keep finding shit waaay in the back I’d totally forgotten about. In my time-travels I ran across a few seasonally-appropriate posts that may appeal to some folks […]

Video: Beth Ditto interviewed on Style.com

By | November 3, 2009

A couple of interesting points about this. First of all, it’s on Style.com, the internet version of Vogue, and a site hardly known for their thorough and exhaustive reporting on plus-size-accessible fashion. It’s actually on the front page of the site today, which is pretty fantastic. More than that, however, I love Ditto’s candor about […]

Friday Outfitblog.

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, […]

Links & reactions

By | October 28, 2009

In the absence of my own content as of yet this week, here is a delicious link buffet. First: Why Fat Studies (and All Identity Studies) Hurt Higher Education*: The author argues, in a nutshell, that when it comes to identity politics and academia, ne’er the twain shall meet. Or at least that when they […]

[Guestblog] The Politics of Side Boob

By | October 28, 2009

There’s a quaint little shop that’s opened up in my ‘hood that I’ve discovered I enjoy. Though it has no knowledge of two whole cakes it does carry whatever my fellow hoodlums sell or trade in. In bright green and annoying font I passed by grudgingly, surely they’d have nothing for me. I had just […]
