Michael K. over at Dlisted is one of my fave gossip bloggers. He is straight up hilarious, but he manages to be snarky without being a total ass like Perez Hilton. Anyway, I’ve lusted over the coveted title of caption contest winner for a while. So far just first runner up…always a bridesmaid, and all … Continue reading

Weighting Time
I was a bit hesitant to post this poem, because I’m not one to advertise my weight issues. I think I always felt like if I didn’t call attention to my weight, people might be able to forget that I’m fat. Chubby. Plump. Blah, I don’t like any of those words. I prefer thick, curvy, … Continue reading
PippaGilly Middleton
I’ve had this image of Pippa Middleton in my head for a while now. I saw a pic of her on Celebitchy – I think she was drunk but maybe not – & she was making this face. It reminded me of someone, but I didn’t know who. I finally figured it out…sometimes, Pippa = … Continue reading
The Trick
The trick is not how much pain you feel – but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses. -Erica Jong

Will.i.am.NOT.a.fan
First, the quote: ELLE: If you walked into a woman’s house, what one item would convince you that you weren’t compatible? W: If she had condoms in her house, that would just f-ckin’ throw me off. That’s just tacky. Wait, what? I don’t even know where to begin with how all kinds of wrong he … Continue reading
More (But Not Too Much!) Than Just A Pretty Face
Marie Claire urges its readers to be “more than just a pretty face”, but the magazine’s recent editorial decisions indicate that there is a limit on just how much “more” a woman should be. Maura Kelly’s article, “Should Fatties Get A Room? (Even on TV?)”, for MarieClaire.com revealed the author’s personal prejudices, and in turn … Continue reading
