what do I have to say about that Bbsize article

I was violated...I'm not going to tell you where as I do not want to introduce traffic to her page

Ok wasn't really violated on the general scale of things this is pretty frickin' low, but miss L.Rigdon writer for some unheard of rag BBStyle used my picture next a picture of a model of a girl from a 2006 Jean Paul Gautier show claiming both of us and several more plus size girls as examples of what not to wear

Look this is minor but there were three things I am very upset about

a) the Author claims to be a professional writer... she has a website pimping herself out per word, professionals do not steal.

b) I had the photo in question posted to my flickr but not posted to any actual public flickr pool such as fatshionistas or death fatties, So Miss L.Rigdon not only stole a photo of me for her own use she had to go sifting through my whole personal gallery to find it in order to steal it

The picture was taken about ten minutes after I got my Jane BonBon Dress and I wanted to tell an online friend about it... I'm an idiot for adding it to my flickr, but on  the scale of things it wasn't so bad, I've seen some pretty fug outfits on the internets and looking at the the selection of people she chose as the what not to wear fatties I would rather be one of those than one of her recommendations of what to wear.

it has been taken down now though

"On request of people whose images we were using, we have decided to take down those images. Since the article was based on those images, we are taking the article down for the time being.

We are leaving your comments though. Thank you for taking time to post your comments.
Check back next week. We have another article that we will be publishing.
Once again, thanks for all the comments."

Or as the French say Le sigh.

Outfits: another bloody high wiasted skirt/ cardigan combo a.k.a what I wear to work most everyday

 

Headscarf: thrifted

Earrings: thrifted

Tank: Kmart $6 singlets

Cardigan: Moda for Target

Skirt: Lily0808168 via ebay

Stockings: dunno?

This is fast becomign my stock standard work outfit, because a) it makes me look responsible...ish (worki is conservative..ish)  b) it's frickin hot and muggy here in Sydney and wearing skirts give my beloved corporate box the fresh air it needs and c) I can usually fart out an outfit like this or similar in ten minutes in the dark in the morning.

I like the combo I do I mean anytime I whack on a high waisted skirt my tits look spectacular. but i feel like every fat chick lady skirt-wearing individual is wearing the exact same thing!

  

Headscarf: Thrifted

T-shirt: Thrifted

Cardigan: Sara

Skirt: Evans

Hosiery: dunno

Earrings: Thrifted

I'm not really that upset by it but I want to figure out something a little more unique outfit wise, maybe a cape? or some sort of nipple adornment.

Anyway in other things the skirt in picture number 1 whilst it wrinkles like a 94 year old you have shoved into a suitcase, it is a great length, has pockets and is really well made, and if I wasn't so skint (poor)  I would buy me few in different colours to rotate it is a good skirt the waistband is versatile and comfortable (theres elastic in the back)

Shit I want: Plus Sized Shit

A Marina Rinaldi Velvet pantsuit 

 A cute dress with cut out back  from Evans

Something Stripey from New Look

A bold sassy colour-block dress from Marie Denee 

But alas I am poor/ super poor for the forseeable future (I stupidly in my flu medication induced stupor purchased lots of iphone acessories on Ebay)

Any benefactors who wish to purcahse one or all of these lovely items for me, please leave a comment, especially the suit, I want to slip into that light up a cigarette and go all Marlene Dietrich on somebodys ass

Yeah just like stretch it out in MS paint and add an afro and that would be me.

Well because every other bloody blogger has talked about it

One Size fits all shoot for the Jan Issue of V Magazine

I wanted to talk about the most important thing in (in my humble opinion) about this shoot, yes it's goroundbreaking and breaking down barriers for fat chicks and size acceptance and some generic quote about self esteem and real women. yadda yadda yadda

If you want opinons on that side of things go here and here and here

But Nobody has bothered to mention the brilliant flashes of Clusterfuckery that these outfits are in Spades, I really like some of the acessories and the overall styling, I mean politically (fashion and body image politics not real politics) these shots are important and I think style wise this is an excellent representation of what 2010 is going to be like Crazy Poly blend fabrics, bright colour, avante garde styling and unique shoe and accessory shapes, and a hell of a lot more Clusterfucks of Colour

Stuff I want/ need/ On Etsy this week

a gorgeous, unique sweater vest

A personalised silver necklace, that doesn't scream look at me I copied carries one from Sex and the City

A simple, pretty custom made summer dress that will take me through to winter

A cool, unique, whimsical print

 A red houndstooth suit that would make me feel like I was in the movie 9 to 5

One Pair of pants = a million ways (ok only actually three ways)

all the following outfits are featuring the same pair of pants a pair of Skinny leg stirrup pants I got on sale from Evans ages ago I never wore them except under boots as the stirrup was stupid beyond belief, but a pair of scissors and a needle and thread made them into my favourite pair of pants, hooray for rudimentary sewing skills. Dont mind the face most of these have been taken on the way to work and I feel like a right twat smiling into a camera on my mantelpiece at 6am


Cardigan: thrifted
Headscarf: Thrifted
Necklace: Tree of Life
Top: some generic black singlet
Pants: Evans formerly stirrup pants with the stirrup cut off them
Handbag: Ebay
Shoes: black skimmers from some cheap shop in Sydney CBD


Headscarf : Thrifted
Cardigan: Jane Davenport
Belt: Evans
Pants: Evans used to be stirrup pants with the stirrup cut off.

Headscarf: Thrifted
Cardigan: Moda for Target
Tshirt: New York subway tourist t-shirt found at thrift store
Pants: Evans formerly stirrup pants with the stirrup cust off them
Belt: Evans

Oh I could talk about this outfit for ages, It features my new favourite t-shirt (other than my lime green Toshiro Mifune t-shirt) It's a t-shirt of the New York Subway map, and a lovely cardigan from the new revamped plus size Target range MODA some of the range is well onstructed and gorgeous (like my cardigan) some of it is dog fugly example

 taken at my local target
anyone else seeing aqua alien vaginas in the print

most of it however is an improvement, and the new buyer certainly has had an impact, I just wish there was more more classic, simple pieces instead of tribal printed kaftans in aqua spew, but the cardigan is so divine
and I paid full price for it, something I avoid doing like the plague at my local target.

What I hate about plus size fashion in Australia: Part One

All the above available at City Chic

I don't hate Big City City Chic/ Citychic whatatever it is nowadays, they are doing alot for plus size stuff in this country, but for crissaskes who is the blind 'tard who tought up these tops/montrosities?

How can three separate tops manage to maker this poor girls tits look misshapen uneven and deformed, she is gorgeous she has great breasts and these singlets do nothing for her, imagine how horrible they will look on someone that has really uneven breasts (like myself) or good few metres of duct tape to hold the girls up

I appreciate the attempt at fashion but if you are going to make clothes or bigger girls with bigger breasts, with bellies there has to be even an idea of what I girl needs, look at the straps on any of those tops none are an appropriate width apart to accommodate a bra or wide enough to hide a bra behind them , you have cut the bust generously enough to accommodate a DD bust but not generously enough to accommodate the bra required to hold them up at a comfortable level for a days wear, yes there are strapless bras but once over a certain cup size (that being a D) a good quality, comfortable strapless bra in Australia is as rare as hens teeth.

I think this is why so many times when fat girls attempt to follow trends they look inadvertently slutty.

but that's just my opinion, does anyone find those tops flattering/ suitable/ wearable?
