Jam out with your ham out

Reason #87858 that the world still needs Buffy The Vampire Slayer

November 10th, 2010

There are two new Uwe Boll films coming out: one is a documentary on Auschwitz and the other? I am not making this up: “a film about an overweight half-vampire who takes her hungry vengeance out on Hitler and his band of Nazis.” You’ll love the title. Without further delay, I give you the official […]

Marie Claire Thinks Fat People Are Gross

October 26th, 2010

Remember back when Glamour had the Girl on the Bottom of Page 194 Lizzie Miller? It seems that we take two steps forward and three steps back when it comes to the glossies. Witness this latest post on Marie Claire’s sex and love blog, straight (and apparently without being vetted by a sane editor) from […]

Does Being Fat Make You A Good Chef?

October 22nd, 2010

A Sunday morning ritual at Casa Bix involves a cup of coffee, the New York Times and a pug in my lap and Food Network on the TV, where Esteban and I provide a running MST3K commentary on Sandra Lee and Rachael Ray. We love Ina the most, mostly because unlike several TV chefs, her […]

America’s Surgeon General Is A HAES Rock Star

October 5th, 2010

We’ve spoken a lot about Health At Any Size, the myth of the fat lazy person and why BMI is bogus so it does my heart good to see an official stamp of approval from the government. Check it: “…We can be healthy and fit at any size or any weight.” While Dr. Benjamin isn’t […]

Do Kids Learn To Be Sizeist From Watching Disney Movies?

September 28th, 2010

Apparently I’m on a movie kick, but I couldn’t resist sharing this great article in Newsweek exploring the subtle sexism in recent kid movies. …One in four female characters was depicted in “sexy, tight, or alluring attire,” compared with one in 25 male characters. The female characters were also more likely than men to be […]

Women Can Only Eat In Movies If They Look Like They Don’t

September 24th, 2010

We’ve talked about how much we love Mindy Kaling here before. In this great interview, she talks about the problem with writing realistic women characters and the rom-com she’s writing and how much she loves You’ve Got Mail (me TOO! OMG Mindy Kaling, let’s be bffs!) She touches upon this interesting trope of the fictionalized […]

Are You Sassy?

September 10th, 2010

Remember Sassy magazine? The little inside notes, the sardonic voice, the amazing pulse of an under-appreciated cultural uprising, it was all there in the glossy pages of Sassy. It’s almost like Karen Catchpole, Christina Kelly, Catherine Gysin and Mike Flaherty were bloggers a decade early. I don’t think the staff understood it at the time, […]

First rule about Tight Club…

August 26th, 2010

The days are growing shorter and the air smells like freshly-sharpened pencils. After Labor Day, bare legs are verboten if you adhere to Miss Manners, so what’s a girl to do? Tights, baby. Tights. Finding a decent pair of plus size tights is a bit of a challenge. Sometimes tight purveyors make gigantically long tights […]

Cass Elliot–Vintage Size Discrimination!

May 26th, 2010

Last week’s performance of “Dream a Little Dream” on Glee reminded me that it’s been 40 years since Cass Elliott sang that song. She had one of the most beautiful voices of the mid-1900’s, right up there with Streisand and Karen Carpenter, but she almost never makes the lists of amazing influential female singers. I’m […]

Dearest Mabel…

January 5th, 2009

Out of the ashes of the late, lamented Elastic Waist, a phoenix has arisen. A phoenix with one feather that is me! It is a web portal called Dearest Mabel featuring the writing talents of Weetabix, Jen (aka Anne) and Kim from Elastic Waist, as well as me and Jennette. It will feature links to […]
