This morning I was enjoying my morning coffee with Brad, and he told me about the Christina Hendricks controversy. (I mean, first we talked about how she is hot, then we moved on to the controversy. I mean, come on.) She was wearing a dress by Christian Siriano that got a lukewarm response from T. [...]

I knew about Madison magazine from Project Runway Australia, as it is the Elle/Marie Claire of that show (“The winner of Project Runway will receive a spread in Madison magazine…”). Now Beautiful You has a post about the plus-sized celebrities who posed nude for their October issue. More pictures at the link; mildly NSFW.
The woman [...]

I just found out there is a second season of Project Runway Australia, so of course, I had to look it up on YouTube. Watching the opening credits I spotted a fat chick, who reminded me of the awesome Jessica Biffi on Project Runway Canada. Then I started watching the episode, and I found [...]

It’s Fashion Week, which means we get things like this amazing collection by Christian Siriano and another look at the size zero model phenomenon. Apparently, they’re back in style this season. (So much for Whitney’s victory on America’s Next Top Model.)
Spurred on by a spike in reality TV shows promoting extreme dieting, women are once [...]

My favorite reality show that nobody but me and Kim watches is The Mole. (The first host of the show was the amazing Anderson Cooper; the current host, Jon Kelley, is equally fabulous and hot. You heard it here first.)
The premise of the show is that a dozen or so contestants are competing in complicated [...]

I read blogs daily, and bookmark a lot of links for you guys, but don’t always manage to write about everything. So this week I’m going to try a little links roundup… in case you missed it.
First up, Fatly Yours, about the idea that size-acceptance blogs are just “fat people sitting around making excuses”:
I won’t [...]

I was in Vegas this weekend, and at one point I think Weetabix said something drunkenly about Malan from Project Runway and Nikki Blonsky, but I didn’t really understand, as I was probably on the third pitcher of mojitos at that point. But I have Googled [...]

Project Runway Canadia Originally uploaded by mo pie
Am I the only one here obsessed with Project Runway? I didn’t think so. (If you want to talk about this season and whether you love or hate Elisa, Christian, and that one guy who looks like David Brent, [...]
