I found this list of terrible gifts. I think my favorite is Fart Insurance pills. (the list includes classist commentary on Mama’s Family. My apologizes) I tend to give gifts that are fun, but somewhat useful. For example, my step-dad is a Loctor (an MD who is also a Lawyer) and a rabid sci-fi geek. … Continue reading »

Hidden Plus Sizes on Etsy
You may already know that Etsy is a middle-class fat girl’s dream when it comes to stores like Jane BonBon, MissBrache, and SelenaEon (reviewed by stitchtowhere on Fatshionista), all of whom specialize in or at least explicitly advertise plus sizes. If you’ve got the money to buy new clothes but don’t think you have the … Continue reading »
Midweek link roundup
When I was in school I always used to get in trouble for talking or passing notes with my friends instead of doing my work. Little did I know it would prefigure my blogging habits. Sure, we haven’t turned in a lot of essays, but here’s a peek at what we’ve been passing notes about … Continue reading »
Petty gripe of the day: Underwear size vs clothing size

More Friday Fluff/Fatshion: Oh gosh, this shirt
It only goes up to a girl’s large and guy’s XXL, and I hate the color, so I’m not sure it’s for me, but… oh gosh, this shirt. (Click the image if, like me, you feel a little faint and you just gotta have it.) I do wish that Mr. Chubosaurus didn’t look so sad, … Continue reading »
Un-doom your rack
We here at SP are a buxom bunch. Kate, of course, has her Rack of Doom; FJ and I, pseudonymous as we are, have not shared our chestiness with you, but rest assured, our bosoms are as big as our brains. A lot bigger, actually, if you picture that literally. If any of you Shapelings … Continue reading »
Friday Fatshion: Igigi Yoke Wrap Dress
Devoted readers might remember that back in July, I ordered my first Igigi wrap dress. If you don’t remember — or if you’re a brand new concern troll who doesn’t understand that when a blogger links to something, you’re supposed to go read it — please allow me to quote myself: Ever since I started … Continue reading »
Listen, All Y’All, It’s a Sabotage
The last couple of days, while riding the el, I’ve been thinking I need to put together a new blog project: going through a day of relatively normal activities and photographing every image I run across that’s meant to trigger anxiety/feelings of inadequacy. It’s not even just the weight loss ads, though there are plenty … Continue reading »
