giant invisible club sandwich on Flickr.
photo caption contest! the winner gets underwhelming prizes like a big thumbs up from me.
this is another great frock from Gussied Up in TO. I think of it an updated Kelly Kapowski dress.
Was asked recently which contemporary Canadian plus designers I was into, and I had no answer because I only know of two. Jane Bonbon is no longer designing and Jessica Biffi’s latest line is… not singing my song. Who am I missing?
fun with neutral shades on Flickr.
Though this photo is less-than-perfect, I share it because I want to help spread the word about a brand new fatty clothing store in Toronto! Gussied Up is one of the most exciting plus boutiques I’ve had the good fortune of visiting.
The owner, Victoria, is great, and has an excellent eye: the store is expertly curated— everything in it was so fresh and wearable and inspired— when is the last time you used any of those words to describe a plus-size shop in Canada? What a pleasure to try things on IN PERSON for a change. I want her to be madly successful so she can open shops across my fatshion-deprived country.

i haven’t shared an outfit photo in aaaages. it seems a lot of the fat outfit sharing is happening here on tumblr… i’m willing to give it a shot (hur), but i can’t imagine totally abandoning my flickr pool & wardrobe remix roots. it’s where it all started for me! (wanna chat on icq later?) blazer is le chateau, jeggings & tunic are pennington’s, jellies are marc jacobs (old), chains are vintage and the leather leaf earrings are made by my genius friend jenny.

Dear Tumblr: Do you like me? Check yes or no.
Full disclosure: I made this Valentine for my work—it’s an image from Venus With Biceps: A Pictorial History of Muscular Women —but I loved it so much I printed & mounted it on some nice card stock for D as a gift. This image depicts strongwoman Kate Brumbach (known as Sandwina) with her husband, circa 1900. Such adoration between those two!
Stewie: “Yes, and there’s the Aurora Boreanaz.”
Aurora Boreanaz: “Hi there. Things are kinda beautiful up north, huh?”
I dream of boots like this for fat calves. I have been searching for years but nobody seems to have caught on that fatties would enjoy a wide calf boot that doesn’t have a square toe and a clonky 90s block heel. My kingdom for a sleek fat-friendly boot.
i have been patiently awaiting this gif. it is everything i hoped it would be.
