Rad Fatty Blog Alert: Sew Misunderstood

November3

Beej, of thebustytraveler.blogspot.com, suggested this blog and I love it both as a fat and as a beginning seamstress/DIY/crafty-gal! I was quietly catching up on some recent posts when I came across this one and just WOW & YES! More, please?! Ha-ha! I am falling for “Psycho Sue” and cannot wait for more fun sewing tips and “Fatshion for Wayward Girls!”

Rad Fatty Alert: Ari Stidham…ROCKS!

October7

So, a little while ago you may have heard something about a little show on ABC Family called,

“HUGE”

about some teens at a fat camp…yeah, it was awesome! And sadly they have decided (the network) not to do a second season. Although, there is a growing group of fats trying to bring it back!

Ever since watching the show and seriously falling in love with the cast I also started to follow them on Twitter. Well, what a delight! Some very cool people were in that cast and I have truly enjoyed following their tweets about their lives, careers and various events and adventures. And then Ari Stidham posted about requests for cover songs. Yeah, I know! How cool is that?! So I requested anything by The Pixies. And today? My request/wish was fulfilled:

Thank you Ari! You are incredibly talented and give much hope to fats like me who have always wanted to be in a band but just haven’t had the courage to actually do it! (I’m working on it but damn musicians are a flaky/picky group.) Thank you for putting yourself out there and persuing your passions and being an overall Rad Fatty! You made my day with this song and I just know that big and wonderful things* are in your future! =0)

*Also, Ari? If you’re into it? I’d love to post a pic of you for my Tank Top Tuesday post! I’ve asked Harvey, too, but he never responded. Ha-ha! You can email it here: notblueatall@notblueatall.com
