When I started this blog, I wrote imaginary letters. It was an amusing rhetorical device, kept me entertained – and, more importantly, it preserved the idea I had that, really, I’m just s...
So, that was a MUCH longer hiatus than I anticipated! I am so sorry – and I am so thankful to the people who wrote to check on me. It’s been an eventful couple of months on the in-person ...
Thank you all for being here with me for another year. It’s been amazing – all this practice at living is paying off, I think. This is what 34 years old looks like, y’all! Love! ETA...
Food – we need it to live. In the comments to this post, there was a lot of conversation about how we can talk about food in a HAES-centric way. That’s an important discussion to have! As...
When I was a little girl, definitely in the 10 and under range, I was kind of obsessed with Barbie coloring books. I had a gajillion Barbie things, but I really loved the coloring books because there...
Note the first: I think we could all use a change of subject, at least for a minute, right? Then we’ll talk about food in fat acceptance, the ethics of food, and how to have a conversation abou...
It’s interesting but I have an opposite impression. I have only recently discovered FA and I love, love, love HAES – it was almost like I finally got a permission to focus on my health and not worry ...
It is pretty much always Lesley’s fault when I respond to something going on in popular culture. Here’s the breaks, y’all: I do not like Jess Weiner, find her inspirational, or cons...
There’s an article floating around Google+ that I haven’t had a chance to read yet – but the headline frames an interesting dilemma. It’s asking if young girls and young women...
We have casual Fridays at work – this can easily mean jeans and a t-shirt. But I’ve been trying to have a bit more fun than that – jeans still but kicked up a notch. This is what I ...
I’m trying to give people credit for not realizing the health issues that smoking can cause when they tried to sell cigarettes by promising thinness. *facepalm* Oh, history. (Via http://writing...
I went to Ross last weekend – if you don’t have Ross where you live, it’s basically a discount store. The racks are poorly organized and the stock constantly changes. But the dresse...
So, we talked about the problems with business casual – and one of those problems is that it is so damn variable. This is what I wore to work on Tuesday. Before I talk about the outfit, lemme t...
I work in a business casual environment. I often think business casual is the wishy washiest of possible terms for a dress code; it’s very much like pornography in the most important way: you k...
Over the weekend, as I played with Google+, I found myself appreciating more and more the ability to have more control over my audience. Not because I don’t want to reach a wide and diverse gro...
My love of LucieLu.com is no secret. In fact, I’d go so far as to say: I’d wear the beige (oatmeal) that’s part of their color palette. I know of no higher compliment. Seriously, th...
Does This Book Make Me Look Fat?” by Sonya C. Brown I’m thrilled to see some usernames I recognize quoted in this article – and I’m thrilled to see the article. It IS academic in to...
“No one wants to see a fat man at a techno show.” I read these words with a kind of horror, magnified because the person saying them IS the fat man in question. These words embody the kin...
I am not a fatshion blogger. I talk about clothes, sure. But the dedication to fatshion displayed by the actual fatshion bloggers is awesome and I just don’t have it in me. What I do have, thou...
It’s been a busy week around Casa De Rotund – but I wanted to say hello! *waves* Hi! In the interest of visibility, I’m going to be posting more images. JUST SO YOU KNOW.
Once upon a time, I tried running a group blog dedicated to makeup. It was fun, but really difficult to generate enough content for. It died, as many things on the internet do – with only the b...
When I get up in the morning and get dressed, I always check myself in a full-length mirror. I want to make sure everything is going together the way it did in my head – but I also want to stay...
Hey, this is pretty cool! My first post on class, fatness, and Southern identity has been syndicated on BlogHer.com! There’s a little conversation already starting if anyone wants to continue s...
Yes, it’s a continuing series. It’s a big topic, y’all. Part One I talk about my own class background not in an attempt to gain some sort of cred but to give this discussion a frame...
Alas, this is not a post about Doctor Who. Going to the gynecologist. Ah, that imperative ritual of having a uterus. It’s just about that time of year for me again – but because my doctor...
I was chatting with a coworker about rainbows today. (It’s a long story.) The end of the conversation was, essentially, me saying that sometimes I like to dress to piss people off – I lik...
Note: It’s important to stress here that, while I am discussing class, if there’s anything resembling a nasty remark about my family, I’m not putting up with it. I love them fiercel...
The time has come, the fat lady said, to talk of many things: of shoes – and clothes – and steampunk style – of epaulets – and rings – and why body con is so dang hot &#...
I LOVE GUEST POSTS. I especially love guest posts by Rebecca (she has posted here before) because I love childrens and young adult lit. Sometimes it is hard to talk about fat kids – because I d...
So. If you’re on Twitter, hopefully you’ve seen the stream of tweets about this Pschology Today article (Thanks to @racialicious for being the first tweet I saw on the topic) (Extra thank...
