Oh, how I wish Youtube hadn’t turned off the embedding on this amazing video (SFW), but you’ve got to watch it because these three girls? Are awesome. And I love them.
And now it is my quest in life to be able to do the splits again.

I’m happy today. Very very happy. I could be happier, but right now, I’ll take this amount of happy. And because I’m so happy, I absolutely loved this clip from a cable access show called “Goddesses” and because I love you too, I’m sharing it. Consider it a follow up to the jawdropper that [...]

Tangerina wrote in wanting to talk about my favorite television show, The Office, and their season premiere, called “Weight Loss.” I thought it was an awesome idea, and got permission to reprint her e-mail here.
Hi Mo! Love the blog. I was just writing because you asked for ideas, and I know this is a tad [...]

We had an office party today involving cake. And as I stood around with my co-workers making awkward conversation and enjoying my slice of cake, I overheard comments that felt very familiar.
“This cake is sugar free and fat free, right? Ha, ha!”
“Hey [Guy Doing South Beach], is this South Beach cake?”
“Oh, can I just have [...]

I work in a giant, brightly decorated cubicle with two other people, and we often pass the days sending each other links to amusing things or dorky things or talking about the latest episode of Project Runway. Actually that all happened today.
But the other thing that happened today was one of us, and I’m [...]

I think it speaks for itself, don’t you? Thanks, Mychii! You rock!

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 [...]

We wrote about Deborah Voight all the way back in 2006. You might remember her as the opera singer who was fired for being too fat, and who had gastric bypass surgery. She was recently rehired to sing the same role that she was fired for, back in the day. The New York [...]

Quiconque e-mailed me to alert me to a Subway commercial, which she blogged about, that implies that people who eat fast food get automatically fat and that, among other things, this means they smell bad. I know, I almost can’t believe it either. (As soon as I or anyone else finds the video, I’ll add [...]

This Video took alot of courage and I HOPE that other girls seek some comfort in this. It’s dedicated to any girl who’s ever felt fat, felt ugly or felt stupid for being herself. For all the girls who’ve ever starved, purged, or cut themselves. For every girl who’s ever felt a failure [...]

In the comments to this post, a number of people brought up Chris Farley and the Chippendale’s skit he did with Patrick Swayze (we love you, Patrick) on Saturday Night Live. (Video is here.)
Bina said:
the joke in that was that the fat guy took his dancing and mad skillz seriously but was obviously never, [...]

Those of you out there who have seen Fantasia and who fondly remember the hippo ballet sequence might appreciate this rare glimpse into the history of Disney animation: photos of actress Hattie Noel, who was the live action reference [...]

The first thing Esteban said when watching the new Alltel commercial was “The chubby guy is missing!” I almost never pay attention to commercials (unless they contain A)badgers B) childish references to flatulence or C) songs that I love), but he was right. The chubby guy was missing and in his place, a new svelte [...]

It’s a hit song and dance on the Ivory Coast, and it’s all about shaking… well, your bobaraba.
While the dance has been embraced by both sexes, DJ Mix says it was inspired by women. “We made it as a tribute to women, because African women are defined by the shape of their bottoms,” he [...]

Here is a little hard-to-hear clip of Mika (as in “Big Girl, You Are Beautiful“) with Beth Ditto at the Brit Awards. (Thanks to cynth for finding this better quality clip for us!) Here’s a better picture of Beth’s red dress.
Hopefully that will make up for the fact that there was a porn link embedded [...]

Leonard Nimoy was on The Colbert Report last night talking about his book of photography, and why his book should be on every coffee table in America. It was so exciting!
The audience cheers for the women pictured (note that these are nude photos and might not be work safe), Nimoy makes some great points, [...]

As promised, I wanted to talk about the appearance of Morgan (aka Fatgrrl) on the Mike & Juliet show. Here are the videos (are you guys getting tired of Mike and Juliet yet? To think, two weeks ago I had no idea who they were).
There are also blow-by-blows at Morgan’s site and at Rachel’s site. [...]

Donna writes, on the Facebook group wall:
I watched Regis & Kelly yesterday. They are putting some of their staff on a diet. “Every few years we like to lighten the load around here”. They showed the people who were on the diet 3 years ago, their starting weights and end weights. Then, their starting weights [...]

Thanks to Cate, we have been alerted to a performance by Wyclef Jean, captured on video. I can’t exactly make out what he’s saying at the beginning. He wants 30 of the something-est girls to come up on stage and shake their things. But then I guess he decides he only wants skinny girls. [...]
