Horizontal stripes – check. Skinny jeans – check. Baring fat, jiggly arms – check. To hell with the fashion rules that say horizontal stripes look terrible on fat women or that short women should avoid skinny pants.

That’s why I couldn’t resist fullbeauty.com’s offer of… Continue reading Adventures in Wear Testing: Perfectly Pretty Paisley

Society and the media love fat people as long as they’re… Continue reading Why Isn’t Gabourey Sidibe the Face of Body Positivity?
It’s the first week of June and feels more like April in New Jersey with cool, cloudy, rainy weather. But soon it’ll be HAZY, HOT and HUMID. Time for sundresses, tank tops and sleeveless shirts.
