It was bad enough that they banished fatties from their stores last spring. But now, as Colleen reports, they’re sending plus-sized customers coupons they can’t even use, because they’re only good in-store. And when you write to complain that fatties can’t use your goddamned coupons, because they can’t shop in your goddamned stores anymore, the … Continue reading »

Friday Fluff: What’s your tiny superpower?
In Kate’s post asking for volunteers to help out with the fat rights movement, Mary wrote: If you need someone to make phone calls, it’s a superpower I have to charm people on the phone. I can charm people with severe paranoia to some in to see me and I can charm frustrated family members … Continue reading »
Dolly, What’s Your Secret?
This seems like a nice coda to the last couple of days’ posts. And it’s Dolly! Via Shakes, who got it “via every gay blogger in the blogosphere.” Heh.
Toot Toot!
That would be my own horn — and Fillyjonk’s and Sweet Machine’s. (They let me toot their horns sometimes if I’m very gentle.) I started this blog (in its current form) on March 30. 7 and a half months ago. At the time, my Technorati ranking was a goose egg, and like all new bloggers, … Continue reading »

The irrationality of hopes pinned on weight loss is so striking that dieting … Continue reading »
Fat store review: Lee Lee’s Valise
If you follow fatshion and you’re lucky enough to live in New York, you’ve probably at least heard of Lee Lee’s Valise, a sweet little plus-size boutique in Brooklyn. But if, like me, you are only an occasional visitor to the city, you may not be aware of it, or you may be wondering whether … Continue reading »
Friday Fatshion on Monday: Pick Me a Holiday Dress
So, Fatshionista readers might recall my excruciatingly detailed comparison of an Igigi dress and a Robbie Bee one, done with an eye to the holidays. Unfortunately, that turned out to be useless, because the Igigi dress sold out in my size, and I decided there were others I liked better than the Robbie Bee one. … Continue reading »
