Stop the presses! Torrid's breaking the latest news in fatshion -- STARS ARE THE HOTTEST NEW TREND OMG.

Seriously, is there a buddy system I can get into? I have no style, unfats. None. I have long hair that is long simply because I can't be assed to get it cut off and learn how to style it (I like sleep, k?) and I think I might have a small panic attack at the thought of someone taking away my jeans and t-shirts.

Problem is, I need some style. I'm half professional at work. I live for the jeans and a button down or pull over shirt. I need more! I NEED HAIR STYLING TIPS!

Anyone have ideas here? Anyone want to adopt a dumpy girl? Really. I had two older brothers and a mom who had 80s secretary hair..also, being socially unacceptable to my super tiny neighbor kids I didn't get to giggle at sleepovers and put on makeup at age 8. I'm fashion stunted!

..on the flip side, I can put together stunning looks for other people. So somewhere deep inside my the ability to choose and match clothing is glowing as a delicate ember.

What the fuck am I looking at here?

I love how she insists that she IS smiling. No, no honey. No you're not. And that haircut is new? Seriously? It looks leftover from 1984.

Let’s have a public entry for all those who check expectantly but would never join!

I’ve been mulling this over since that bat-shit Spanx-lovin’ lady asked this and the discussion a couple of entries back made me more curious about what you all think.

So here’s the question.

Is there a difference between telling someone they should wear Spanx and telling someone they should wear a better/more supportive/etc. bra?

Both suggestions imply there’s something “wrong” with the poster’s natural body and that their clothes would look better if they altered it.

Discuss! Debate! Argue! As much as people like to use the term “hive-mind” to describe everyone in this community...we sure as hell know we’re never in full agreement!

I have the feeling that if I have to ask that question, the answer is probably "no".

However, I have come to you for your wisdom and guidance and criticism and general snarkiness. And honesty.

Can I rock this dress? It *barely* starts to gap in the front. It is a vintage 18 1/2, and it fits my bust a lot better than my belly. And yes, the colors are horrible and ugly, which is part of why I like this. I'm mostly concerned that the lines emphasize my gunt. Which is not to say I don't love my gunt or think that gunts should never be emphasized, but I almost feel like it might be making some sort of upper-level camel toe. Like gunt-fold toe. I'll let you ponder that.

Anyway, the dress:

I don't mean to look pissed off, I just am! :P

Leggings are NOT pants.

PS: What the fuck is that thing on that blouse? It had better be a pocket, because dog knows there's none on those leggings.

ETA: HAHA! Is that the sun shining out of her ass?!

FATSHIONISTA HASN'T BEEN ABOUT FASHION IN A VERY LONG TIME. Who wants to take paypal contributions for a rename token?

Discuss.

Why the hell are people trying to join unfatshionista when they aren't even fatshionista members?

Dear Unfatshionistas,

After my post was rejected by the mods at Fatshionista, I realized that you were really the people to whom this should be directed.

I love the fatosphere and the fat acceptance movement in general, but it's gotten a bit repetitive and depressing. So I started superfatastic as a much needed antidote. I'm looking for fatastic posters who don't mind writing the occasionally fatfunny, fatinteresting, and well, maybe a bit fatsexy posts.

So please join superfatastic and post and comment away!

I thought some of youse guyses might get a kick out of this illustration of mine. I'm thinking of making a series out of the utterly ridiculous things people say to fat people. I'm also going to illustrate one of my all time favourites "You're not fat, you're beautiful".

and_old_lace should have some kind of fatshion tv show, something where she can teach all the other fat girls how to dress. She consistently looks amazing and has an great sense of style. I can count on one hand the number of people whose posts I can always count on and she is definitely one of them.

When will people learn - smart dress (which fits alright I guess though not my fave thing ever) with a slouchy jacket does not a good outfit make!

On an unrelated note anyone know if lj can ban an ip and what it takess for them to do it Some clever stalker keeps c**t-ing me this and that and I log the ip's but lj is usually a - to quote my stalker - douche bag (I hate that term).

I posted pictures from the Aria Awards (music industry) to ONTD and later, as I was going through the flickr account I got them from, I realised that we have a few role models who wear over a size 12 in Australia.
