Thank You, Google Reader: Links

September 29th, 2010

With a special shout-out to Brianna, here are some links that popped up in Google Reader this week! 1. From Feed Me: Fat women are paid less than men in the workplace. So obviously, we should lose weight. Wait, what? Fat women are paid less than women who aren’t fat; fat men, on average, earn […]

Something For Everyone: Links

The Myth Of Fat In The Black Community

May 3rd, 2010

This post at Racialicious (originally posted at Red Vinyl Shoes) is about black plus-size models in mainstream fashion, but the part that really struck me was this (bolding mine): A popular (white) misconception is that fat is more acceptable in the black community. This is patently untrue. Hip-hop culture is often pointed to when one […]

Nibbly Bits, Sweetie Darlings: Some Links

March 17th, 2010

Still working on a final name for our Roundup feature, but in the meantime, here are some links for Wednesday! 1. Woman on a quest to become the world’s fattest woman. ‘My favourite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go,’ she said. ‘I […]

Beth And Gabby And Oscar

March 10th, 2010

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’s the Fug Girls’ take on Gabby Sidibe’s dress at the Oscars. I have to say I don’t love it; I don’t love the color and I don’t love the […]

We Put The “Round” In Roundup

March 4th, 2010

No, I still haven’t committed to a name that isn’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’ll send you a present.) Anyway, I’m going out of town this weekend and am teaching classes up until the very […]

350 Pounds: Weight Ain’t Nothing But A Number

March 3rd, 2010

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’s weight. “No one in Hollywood told me they wanted to see a movie about a 350-pound black girl who had HIV,” Daniels blurted […]

Wake Up, Carnie Wilson!

February 23rd, 2010

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’s still flagellating herself for it. The Wilson Phillips singer, who currently weighs 212 lbs. despite undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 1999, […]

Not “Fattie Quickies”

February 10th, 2010

I do link roundups from time to time, to try and cover links people send me or things I might otherwise miss. I was thinking of making it a regular feature, especially given how much I enjoy the Morning Shots at Monkey See and Fugs and Pieces at Go Fug Yourself. But I have a […]

Starwatch: Gabby Sidibe

October 1st, 2009

I’m giving Gabby Sidibe her own category because I don’t want to be caught unawares when she’s walking down the red carpet on Oscar night and we need to post about how hot she looks and/or what insane thing she’s wearing. Gabby is the star of the film Precious, also starring Mo’Nique, who is also […]
