		<title>Beth And Gabby And Oscar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back from vacation and trying to catch up! Did I miss anything exciting? If so, leave a comment or Tweet me up!
In the meantime, here&#8217;s the Fug Girls&#8217; take on Gabby Sidibe&#8217;s dress at the Oscars. I have to say I don&#8217;t love it; I don&#8217;t love the color and I don&#8217;t love the applique [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Put The &#8220;Round&#8221; In Roundup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I still haven&#8217;t committed to a name that isn&#8217;t Fattie Quickies, although I did enjoy your suggestions. (And Emily also came up with the Round pun in the comments. Yay, Emily! E-mail me; I&#8217;ll send you a present.)  
Anyway, I&#8217;m going out of town this weekend and am teaching classes up until the [...]]]></description>

		<title>350 Pounds: Weight Ain&#8217;t Nothing But A Number</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was looking up some info on recent awards fashion, I came across this story, about the NAACP Image Awards, where Precious director Lee Daniels made a comment about Gabourey Sidibe&#8217;s weight.
&#8220;No one in Hollywood told me they wanted to see a movie about a 350-pound black girl who had HIV,&#8221; Daniels blurted out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smashing Plus Size Fashion: Shopping Roundup!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Commenter Punchy says, how about a round-up of plus-size fashion options? and we said, hell yes! Let’s do this thing! Fashionable plus-size dressing tends to take more time, energy and creativity, because options are way more limited, and generally you have to hunt through offerings to find what you want and what you need. There’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Screenshots At ABC.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I just had to share something I noticed as I was browsing ABC.com.
The picture they use to promote their &#8220;Is It Okay To Be Fat?&#8221; story is of two &#8220;faceless fatties&#8221; (better than the headless fatties, for sure); the picture they use to promote a story on &#8220;Fat Acceptance&#8221; is&#8230; of two rail-thin models. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fat Debate On Nightline Tonight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People are still letting MeMe Roth say things on TV, whereupon fat people say things back.  Ah, memories.  Thanks to Rosemary in the comments and KMc in e-mail for reminding us that the Nightline piece is on tonight! 
From plus-size to big boned, pleasantly plump to succulently shapely, and Rubenesque to curvy, no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wake Up, Carnie Wilson!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just want to shake Carnie Wilson when I read articles like this.  She had weight loss surgery a while back and since then has regained some of the weight she lost.  And she&#8217;s still flagellating herself for it.
The Wilson Phillips singer, who currently weighs 212 lbs. despite undergoing gastric bypass surgery in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Age Acceptance: How Do You Grow Older Gracefully?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a lot of experience with body acceptance but, it turns out, not so much with age acceptance.  I almost titled this post, in all caps, AGE ACCEPTANCE: PLEASE HELP ME.
In approximately a month, I&#8217;ll be turning 35. I&#8217;ve been noticing more gray hairs, a few wrinkles on my face. 35 is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maria&#8217;s Manifesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maria sent in this piece, called &#8220;Bigger Than My Body,&#8221; which she wrote &#8220;after spending a great deal of time lurking BFD.&#8221; She graciously said I could repost it here.  There are references to sexual violence, so consider this a trigger warning.  Thank you for your bravery, Maria; thank you for sharing this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kevin Smith Kicked Off Southwest Flight For Being Fat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just caught wind of this on Kate Harding&#8217;s Twitter feed (asking how many followers the average fat person would need to have in order to garner the same, apparently apologetic, response). Then I went over to Kevin Smith&#8217;s feed and saw his Tweets, some of which were in multiple parts, outlining the situation:
