Are you watching Big Boy Fashion? Not only is Bruce, the owner/blogger, posting mad-rad photos of fatshionable guys daily, but also compiling a retail clothing list for big guys! Rock on!

Have you tried The Daily Booth, yet? I have been taking a pic of myself every day (almost) but I’m not yet sure what I’d like to do with them. I had an idea in mind when I signed up, but I’ve sort of forgotten. Ha!

How To Eat Healthfully During The Holidays — Free 60 Minute Teleclass! As always, Go Golda Poretsky!!! If you’ve never heard of Golda & what she does, well don’t hesitate! I was fortunate enough to attend one of her “How To Feel Sexy At Any Size” teleclasses and thought it was great, especially for those new to Body Acceptance. Check out her blog, too! I love her weekly affirmations!

Brace yourself before reading, but you must read this from bigfatblog.com about how it seems nearly okay to kill a fat person.

Saw these (awesomeness!) on Tumblr.com:

“This is not just a fat people’s issue, and it doesn’t have a physical face. My fat body does not engender consumerism or over-consumption. My fat body is not an epidemic. My fat body is a combination of genetics and shame breeding compulsion and failed diets adding pounds I wouldn’t have gained had my parents known how to encourage me to love my body as it was. It’s also the empty calories of a standing in line for government cheese, working class, meat and potatoes, latchkey kid, TV as my babysitter kind of youth. My fat body is also a warrior that carries my tender heart safely through a world that judges it every single day. My fat body is not a signifier or a dark omen. It is not part of the fall of mankind. My fat body is mine and only I know its story. This is true of all fat bodies and lumping those of us with them together and calling us an epidemic is both insulting and dangerously oversimplified.”

“Self-loathing is not a fucking character-builder. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t make you better. It’s just an ever-deepening, creepy-ass trap; a trap that is a huge moneymaker for corporations that do not have and never will have good intentions. You’re not disgusting. You’re not freakish. You’re not ugly. And you’re never going to be perfect. And holy shit, that is so okay.”

As for me? Today, this is in my head and that is alllllllriiiiight!!!

(Shakes head realizing exactly where my personal dance-style is rooted! Ha-ha!)

What’s on your mind? Tell me all about it! =0)

Saturday evening I attended West Valley Light Opera’s production of  Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” in Saratoga, CA. You see, my ridiculously talented (but modest) BFF Jery TheActorvist was co-starring and we’d been hearing about the rehearsals and cast for weeks. I was dying to see it! So we went, opening night, and pretty much got our socks blown right the hell off! For reals, you guys? It was incredible! I’ve never seen the film in it’s entirety and I’m no fan of the Christmas (x-mas or otherwise), but I have to say? I was fucking moved! Yeah, that doesn’t happen often. Jery plays “Phil” or the Danny Kaye character depending on your knowledge of the film/show. Holy wow! I already considered myself his biggest fan (pun intended), but now? Now I think I wanna start and be president of his fan club!

After the show was a champagne reception and we all stood outside waiting (me positively glowing with excitement) for Jery to come out as the rest of the cast did to meet and greet their audience and adoring fans. Outside with us were the many several friends that had come just to see J in the spotlight. We’re talking 18 people that I was aware of. Yeah, fans!!! Somehow our friend Tom had no idea that Jery could tap dance. I was surprised since I knew J loved this style of dance possibly most of all. When J finally reached us, he gave us all great big emotion-filled hugs. He had worked so damned hard to do what he did for us that opening night. I don’t know how many realized that, but I had my sharpie in-hand for him to sign my program (it’s a tradition for me).

Since I had thrifted a fabulous dress earlier in the week I had been dying to wear it. It’s a 100% cotton (and soft!) blue/grey/black/white plaid dress by Converse from Target that I got at Goodwill, with tags, for $6! Yeah, crazy! And for me the strangest bit was that it was a size 3 when I’d never normally even try on a smaller size in the store. But hey, it fit and looked cute so I wore it! I paired it with black opaque tights (Torrid footless), my classic pearls and my Avenue Jalisa boots! And I was actually wearing make up, too! Ha!

Thank you Jery for dazzling us with your amazing abilities, skills and talent! May you remain humble even while the light of the world is shining upon you…and soon, it shall, I just know! <3

It’s Friday, I’m in a great mood and well, just thought I’d give ya a nice fluffy post to encourage you to indulge yourself while saving a pretty penny at the same time. I am in no way affiliated or being paid to endorse the following products/companies, I just think they rock!

I have personally given CustomizedGirl.com a couple of chances by ordering t-shirts and I Love them! They always have fabulous coupons and they carry plus sizes!Here are their two most recent coupons, check ’em out!

This is one of those if I knew then what I know now kind of moments. Ugh! So, here’s my deal, I bought two pair of these mega-rad jersey-knit capri pajama pants from Old Navy a couple of years ago. Had I known that they would be the most comfortable thing I own, I would have bought ten! They have this very wide elastic waist  band that’s actually too big for me, but I roll it over a couple of time and they are just right. They have split cuffs with lace trim. I have one in black and one in cream, both with a simple floral-ish print. They are my go-to when I’m sick or crampy or too tired to do anything at all or just wanna sleep comfortably. I have other pajamas and wear them too…but these ON Capri pants? They rock, y’all!

Since ON doesn’t make them any longer and I can’t find them on eBay (you can often find last season’s stuff on there) I started to look for other similar styles and fabrics and whatnot and well, I’m quite disappointed! I cannot do flannel, I do live in California and while it does get cold at night (I know not that cold as my Mother in law would say -she’s in Maine), but I also have a down comforter that keeps me plenty warm. I don’t like the typical flat cotton most pajamas are made of and I would feel just silly in satin. The jersey-knit is just right, I think. And would prefer the capri/cropped length since regular PJ pants tend to flow well over my feet and onto the floor (perfect lure for kitty revenge).

OneStopPlus has some things, but nothing like what I’m looking for and the ones that come close are a but pricey for what they are. Although, I had no idea Torrid was added to OSP, Awesome! (And damn, I love the brand Taillissime their entire line is too cute! I wanna own it all!)

These are close from Lane Bryant (Ugh! I really don’t want to give them my money though) and on clearance, but I would have to try them on and I don’t think my local store has much clearance right now. I suppose I could have them shipped to the store…but again I’d rather give my money to another store.

Target had nothing in my size. I don’t really know why. The highest their PJ’s go is XXXL, which sometimes, but very rarely works. But they do have cute stuff. *sigh*

Avenue has some cute stuff and I cannot believe that this is a robe, it looks like a friggin’ dress (and doesn’t come in my size, dammit)!

I did some eBay searching, but nothing popped out at me. I just don’t know. I mean, my two pair are fine. I just want more! I don’t know how many times one is supposed to wear a set of pajamas in a row, but generally 2 is my limit, depending. So this leaves me with having to wear my other pajamas the rest of the week and that’s fine. One pair of actual PJ pants I have are crazy comfy but the tags are long gone and I can’t remember where I bought them. Ack!

Maybe I should just try to make my own damn pajamas! Ha-ha! It could happen…maybe.

So, what do you wear to bed? What are your dream pajamas? Do you lean more sexy or comfy? Do you sleep in the nude (I used to and still do from time to time)? Do you have plus sized pj wishes? Lay ’em on me! Thanks! =0)
