[Note: The following post is intentionally vague, because I think this is advice that applies in lots of real-life situations. Do with it what you will.] The mechanics of both offending someone, and being offended, are incredibly complex. This is especially true in online correspondence, in which things like tone and inflection (not to mention […]
Outfitblogging: When there are only three possible answers to the question, “Hey, where did you get that?”

Click through to the Flickr version for outfit info. I’ve talked pretty extensively in the past about the fatshion scarcity one discovers once one has to shop over a particular size. There’s just not much out there. A corollary to this is that there’s always the real possibility of running into someone wearing the same […]
I was not able to attend Full-Figured Fashion Week myself, being in the wrong city at the time. I was fortunate that our own Tara kindly volunteered to operate as Fatshionista correspondent for a few events, and will (I hope) be piping in with her thoughts. For my part, I would like to take a […]
Click through to Flickr version for outfit info. In spite of having a few posts in the works on a few different subjects, I’m just having a dickens of a time finishing anything lately. It could be the long-in-coming summer weather finally taking shape here in Boston, but the last thing I’ve felt like doing […]

Earlier this month I twittered about my new obsession with procuring a pair of desert boots to wear with summer dresses, and a buncha people (both on […]
Click through to the Flickr version for outfit info. Earlier this week I had the pleasure of communicating with a delightfully thoughtful and well-intentioned columnist over at the Daily Beast (Hi, Daily Beast readers! Comments here are moderated!) for a piece she was writing about plus-size fashion. The finished product – which I call unequivocally […]
This morning I had an email asking me to respond to some (very common, but worthwhile nonetheless) questions. Excerpted below: I used to be over 300 pounds, as many fatshionistas are. In principle, I believe in Health at Every Size. I thought I ate healthy and was not inactive, and my weight never went down. […]
Last week I skimmed an interview with Beth Ditto, talking about her upcoming Evans line. Though I don’t expect to buy anything from it (I’d be happy to be wrong! But it would take something impressive indeed to convince me to deal with the international shipping), I’m excited to see this happen for a few […]
Let’s get one thing straight, let’s bust this “beauty” myth, let’s all promise to stop saying it: “Black is so slimming!” Since I started a job that has an all black dress code, I have heard every variation on that tired nugget. “You’re so lucky! Black will totally slim you/Take X pounds off you/define the […]
