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

I Need Affordable Birth Control for LEGITIMATE, MEDICAL Reasons
And so do a whole lot of other women. It’s hard for one little blog to make an impact, but I’m trying to do my part by sharing my story. Birth Control is NOT exclusively used for preventing pregnancy. It is also used for addressing medical concerns. Since employers/schools/etc don’t know what prompted the need for … Continue reading
In Defense of Reality Television
Reality TV is really, really easy to dislike – we all know this. I’m pretty tolerant of craptastic shows, movies, etc, but there are some that even I can’t handle. I’m talking to you, Teen Moms, Toddlers & Tiaras, and Real Housewives of any city! But I can’t take the high road, because I indulge … Continue reading
Dear Sarah Palin – Your Family Completely Refutes The Logic Of Abstinence-Only Sex Education
Hey Sarah, I admit that I find you to be basically ridiculous, what with your playing the martyr card every chance you get, fame-whoring, not serving full terms that you’ve been elected to, shooting wolves, & trying to act like you’re a revolutionary woman in politics when women like Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, and Susan … Continue reading
Dating Is Like A Job Interview For A Prison Cell
I saw this quote highlighted on theFrisky and it made me smile. I have been blessed with extra luckiness in almost every area of my life – finding parking spaces, winning at slot machines, etc – but that hasn’t quite extended to the area of romance.
How I Met Your Mother (& How I Know She Won’t Be Fat)
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. It’s impressive.” Quotes like these make it difficult for me … Continue reading
“I Never Planned On Marrying A Fat Girl”
That was the description/episode title for the premier airing of Lifetime’s new show “Love Handles: Couples In Crisis”. That statement was also the only reason I bothered tuning in. Why would that attract me? Because, unfortunately, I’ve heard similar things before. So I gave this show a whirl, fully prepared to hate and despise the … Continue reading
A Bone to Pick with Bones
Alright Bones, here’s the thing. I love you. Like so, so, so much. I’m extremely forgiving when it comes to television that I love, so I’ve cut you plenty of slack. But Bones, this shit has to end. What shit, you might ask? I would be happy to share. SPOILER ALERTS ahead for Bones up … Continue reading
But Gaga, You Weren’t Born That Way
I don’t get it, I really don’t. I mean, I understand the general appeal of Lady Gaga, and I think that she has a good message, more or less. I also think she rips off her supposedly original sense of style, but if Madonna and David Bowie aren’t complaining, why should I? Her music is … 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
