I posted an update on my article “I Do Not Feel Betrayed When A Plus Size Model Loses Weight” which had some pretty scathing comments aimed at PLUS Model Magazine Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones. In my original post, I wondered whether this was some sort of joke, because it was hard for me to fathom that an … Continue reading

Is Your Body Mass Somehow Tied Into Your Self Worth?
Oh, I’m sorry. Did I insult you? Is your body mass somehow tied into your self worth? –Sheldon, The Big Bang Theory – season 1 episode 4 “The Luminous Fish Effect”
Does Zappos Really Offer “Fits For Every Body Type”?
This recent Zappos ad says that the brand is offering jeans for “every body type”, but the body types shown are all pretty similar. Flat stomach, long legs, nice ass. So my first reaction is, wow, their definition of “every” is pretty much the opposite of mine. All of those jeans seem to be for … Continue reading
Big Sexy, Episode 2: Wherein We Discuss Fat Bitches
First off, I realize I’m like two weeks behind on this review. The fourth episode is airing tonight and I don’t have the review of the third episode done, not to mention that I’m just now posting this!

TLC’s Big Sexy Delivers Big Smiles, Big Stress

Click here for a compilation of all the clues and theories about The Mother! “So fat, after you have sex with it, you don’t tell your buddies about it…” “Over 200 women, spanning six continents, 17 nationalities, 74 sexual positions, and not a single fatty.

Sad State of Search Results
I was looking at the search terms that have led to my blog, and (not surprisingly) many related to relationships with overweight women. This is good, because that’s what I was writing about in many entries. SEO success! But then I looked at the report in more detail, and started to think about what people … Continue reading
“I’m Fat, I Don’t Deserve Anything”
I will preface this by saying that, so far, I’ve been enjoying Love Bites on NBC each Thursday. Each week has offered more and more actors that I already love, and the characters are easy to connect with. I didn’t love this scene, though: Chloe: Why don’t you let yourself have some fun for once? … Continue reading
