you could put a spin on “Thinner”… and go around whispering “Thicker” to everyone you meet.

The buttcouch is a particularly nice touch.

Had I already not designed a costume (and a scary one at bat), I would do this. I could so design this.

I would borrow maternity clothes from a friend, and stuff them to make a pseudo-fat suit. I would then take one of those toy sized couches (those teeny toddler sized play couches) and glue it to my newly inflated ass. I would then stain my maternity clothes with Cheetos and chocolate (I know, waste of perfectly good chocolate, but still), make my hair look all frumpy (not a challenge, naturally curly +bedhead FTW!). I would paste a very obvious picture of an ailing heart, and have signs like DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, INSURANCE COSTS, NO EXERCISE, and NO VEGGIES on it. I’d carry around an old McDonalds bag and a TV remote.

Oh. I’m covering my head with a paper bag. For the whole “headless fatty” crap you see on TV.

Too bad I didn’t find your blog, and this post earlier.

“I’m going to get my husband a t-shirt that says “I’M WITH THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC ——->” and then stand next to him all night.”

I suppose I should say, I especially love the labeling the different “cuts” into what caused them. My husband and I, for a little while, would joke about that once in a while. “Man, I can’t believe we used to eat at Chili’s so much, just because that jerk we used to hang out with loved it there. I swear, I’ve /still/ got some Awesome Blossom hanging around here somewhere….” while grabbing a thigh or a love handle or something. Your costume idea is like the logical extension of that. :)

BTW, on the subject of Wierd Al’s music video:

Kate, I think you should use one of the lines in that video for your tagline sometime:

Don’t you call me pudgy, portly or stout
Just now tell me once again who’s fat?!

Or wait, wait, how about this one?

Just watch your mouth or I’ll sit on you

I really like that one. Tells the trolls who’s boss lol

LMFAO Thorn… I LOVE the chasing people down bit.

Now, if I had the time, energy, and money, I’d make myself a fat costume (yes, I know, I’m fat already, but I’m talking like Eddie-Murphy-in-The-Nutty-Professor or Weird-Al-in-the-music-video-for-Fat-type costume), and make it a NAKED one, with just a string bikini on, and section it up (you know, like how cow diagrams are sectioned up for cuts) and faintly color each section, and label it with the reason for it and/or the consequence of it… Like have the right butt cheek labeled “No exercise” and the left one labeled “Cheetos” and the love handles labeled “fried butter” (that one ala Kate217 :-P ) and one boob labeled “Diabetes” and…

OMG I HAVE to make this one now!
