WAY more fun than a summer in fat camp

Big Fat Celebrity Gossip: Links

October 19th, 2010

1. Kirstie Alley’s new “weight loss program” is probably based on lies, according to the ever-reliable National Enquirer. (Hey, they were right about John Edwards.) (Note: the article uses slightly fat-phobic language.) [Alley] recently bragged on her Twitter site that she’s lost 50 pounds with exercise and her Organic Liaison weight-loss program. But those close […]

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 […]

Fatbook: A Thursday Links Roundup

June 11th, 2010

1. April catches grief because she doesn’t want to follow someone’s weight-loss diary on Facebook. I’ve already “hidden” posts on my news feed from folks who seem to think that a running litany of everything they ate/didn’t eat wanted to eat/didn’t want to eat or weight they lost/gained inexplicably was the utmost in fascinating conversation… […]

My Lovely Lady Lumps: A Hump-Day Links Roundup

June 2nd, 2010

1. We all know I get ridiculous PR spam, but a real doozy landed in my mailbox yesterday, featuring the top five “Flabulous Celebrity Love Handle Offenders” who can fix their “offensive” love handles with a Spanx-type product that we should all run out and buy too! (Don’t worry, I wouldn’t dream of mentioning the […]

Round-Up! BFD Links

May 24th, 2010

1.    I thought this was really fascinating: A professional model talks very personally about her body image issues and the modeling industry, in a guest post on the always awesome Already Pretty. I started modeling in 1998, at the age of 19, at 5’11” (180 cm) and 120 pounds (55 kg). I grew up hating […]

Rotundities: A Links Roundup

May 6th, 2010

1. Thanks to La Wade for this link: Chelsea Clinton asks her dad to lose 15 pounds before walking her down the aisle. “She doesn’t think I’m in shape to handle it. You know, she told me the other day, she said, ‘Dad the only thing you gotta do is walk me down the aisle […]

Rotundities: A Link Roundup

April 22nd, 2010

1. The new Oprah biography contains a shocking allegation about pecan pie (and, perhaps, an opportunity to become educated about food addiction). From Michelle Coppola: Oprah once ordered two pecan pies from room service and *shudder* ATE THEM BOTH!! And what, Kitty Kelley? The earth tilted on its axis from Oprah’s subsequent weight gain? As […]

Roundness Roundup: Links!

April 8th, 2010

You can click the “Links” category for our previous links roundups, which so far have a different name each time. Maybe one of these days I’ll do a poll! Okay, let’s not go crazy. But anyway, here are some links! 1. Celebrity gossip and internet drama, two of my favorite things! But seriously, an interesting […]

Fat Cells: A Links Roundup

March 30th, 2010

Trabb’s Boy suggested this title in our previous links roundup. I can’t decide if it’s cute, scientific, or terroristy! In the meantime, here are some links for you, and a picture of cute animals, after the jump.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

5 Things We May Want To Talk About

November 26th, 2009

I’ve been alternately sick, or busy, or sick and busy. In the meantime, here are some things that have been going on lately… In Case You Missed Them! Even though you most likely didn’t. 1. Shapely Prose leaves the Fatosphere! As we’ve tried saying a gazillion times, [Shapely Prose] is not the movement. It is […]

Happy Time Clothing Shopping Fun on Etsy

November 12th, 2009

We’ve totally been talking about Etsy as a plus-size resource for ages and ages (up to and including bad-ass bikinis), and the site continues to not disappoint. I mean, seriously. Via the incredibly cool Deena of Fat Girls Like Nice Clothes Too, who is fabulous and upon whom I have a crush, comes this absolutely […]

August 11th, 2009

I’m writing this post in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, after a long and taxing Monday that those of you who follow me on Twitter are sick of hearing about, I’m sure. So my brain is broken, and instead of a real post, I give you… the five Google Alert e-mails that I clicked […]

Best Links Ever

July 18th, 2008

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”: […]
