Hey, there’s a reporter for a local paper here doing a story on me/the blog/the book, who would like to talk to some Shapelings about how the blog has affected them.
If you’d be interested in talking to her, please e-mail me (katesblog at gmail) with “REPORTER” in the subject line before 10 a.m. central time tomorrow. Please include your name, screen name, e-mail address, and a bit about how you found the blog and why you keep reading. I’ll forward the responses to her, and she’ll get in touch with you if she wants to know more or quote you.
Thanks so much in advance to anyone who takes the time to do this! (Oh, and I should note that this reporter is supernice and seems genuinely open to the concept of fat acceptance — it’s not going to be a “gotcha” piece unless she’s a reeeeeallly good actress.)
You are too modest. We should be posting here how this blog has affected us and why we keep reading, too. :)
Aw, thanks, car. Honestly, though, people post kind words often enough to keep my head pretty fat (ha!) already. I don’t need a whole thread. :)
I thought of this blog while watching this Guardian interview:

Hadley Freeman talks to the psychotherapist author of the 1978 classic, Fat is a Feminist Issue, about her new book, Bodies
Cool!
That’s awesome :) Happy to do it if it helps you out, as you have helped me so much. I already emailed you.
Ah, i see the comment is awaiting moderation… and i have a different avatar now… probably cuz im logged in now and also updated my email but it’s really me, the same cggirl
POO!!!!!!! How did I miss this!?!?! Arrgh. Sorry.
Quite all right, A Sarah, but thank you. Got the perfect amount of responses — enough to give her a range of options, not so many as to overwhelm her (I hope) or make me hopelessly arrogant. Moreso than I already am, anyway.
Damn it, I missed the deadline! I was in a rush when I first saw it and meant to do it later, then forgot.
aww, missed it. Poop.
