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 […]

1. Plus-size model Velvet D’Amour emailed me about her new photography site, Velvetography, which features both “regular” and plus-sized models like the one pictured here. Some of the photos are nudes, so consider this your NSFW warning! 2. I think I’m in love with Amanda Piasecki, who coined the term “Fatshionista,” after reading this interview […]

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 […]

Feel-Good Friday: April Flores, You Can Make Me Feel Good Any Time

November 13th, 2009

Are you feeling down, low, sad, lonely, lacking in happiness and needing a tiny little boost to get you through that last patch of Friday and boost you into the weekend? Are you feeling cynical, hateful, sure that the world is bigoted and there are no positive, body-friendly messages left on earth and that everyone […]

A Two-Minute Dose Of Va-Va-Va-Voom

We get a LOT of e-mail from PR folks about random […]

Shapely Women

The Merchant’s WifePainted by Boris Kustodiev, 1918 After reading our Miss America post, Jane e-mailed me and mentioned she had her own blog dedicated to “classical pictures of sensual and lovely women with body types that are rarely seen in modern media.” I can relate to this; I took a picture of this picture in […]

"I'm Fat And Nobody Likes Me"

June 29th, 2009

So this is a teen (tween?) band called Chair, with a song called “I’m Fat And Nobody Likes Me.” Finkbuilt describes it as “Awesome teen angst comedy mischief pop by Chair. Kind of NSFW, sophomoric and juvenile.” On YouTube, they are being compared to everyone from Jack Black to Moldy Peaches. Take a look (again, […]

"You Do Not See Fat People In Concentration Camps"

June 8th, 2009

We’ve all read ridiculous examples of hate towards fat people, and I know I shouldn’t be surprised or indignant at this incredibly stupid argument, but OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS. This woman, Deborah Coddington, actually comes out and agrees that anyone can be thin, because people in Nazi concentration camps were thin. I know we’ve […]

BBWOMGWTF?

May 19th, 2009

Does anyone remember BBW Magazine? The founder, Carole Shaw, coined the term “BBW’ back in 1979, meant to be an attempt at fat pride (although one could argue that the message was hidden behind an acronym, much like the models inside said magazine hid behind tunics and drapey jackets) but has been taken over as […]

Self-Conscious During Sex

March 5th, 2009

I received this letter from Sara, and immediately asked if I could post it here and get your feedback. Hello Ms. Pie, I am having a bit of a dilemma. I am about to lose my virginity (at 22) to a man who I really love. That’s not the problem. The problem is that I […]

Ricky Gervais Continues To Break My Heart

January 6th, 2009

Ricky Gervais—creator of my favorite television show of all time and another show that makes me enjoy, of all people, Chris Martin from Coldplay—must you keep making me sad? I feel like we’ve talked about this before—his description of himself as a “fatty,” his standup routine where he mocks Dawn French’s weight, his self-loathing, and […]

Somehow I think "around the clock" wasn't the original lyric

November 5th, 2008

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 fat […]

I'm Henry The Eighth, I Am. Sort Of.

September 2nd, 2008

Henry VIIIOriginally uploaded by mo pie In the BBC Miniseries The Tudors, the creators have decided that lead actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who plays Henry VIII, should not gain weight as the time period advances. Why? Because he will no longer be “appealing.” (And apparently audiences will be too dumb to figure out why on […]

This Entire Post Is Probably TMI

August 11th, 2008

It’s true that culturally, the responsibility for having an adequately-sized sexual organ is all on the guy, but a growing movement is noticing that hey, it’s not like a vagina only comes in petite. One girl’s hooha might be snug while another girl might get labeled as “cavernous” by guys in private. After all, it […]
