Rad Fatty Alert: Ari Stidham…ROCKS!
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
ari sang “satellite” by guster for me. he’s so dreamy. i’m glad he’s 18 now because i feel much less like a creeper. *snerk*
Ha-ha! Yes, I feel a bit better about it, too! =0)
Hey, thanks for the link love! Momentum is building. We’re onto something here!
Peace,
Shannon
But of course! =0)
OMG THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!
I am still smiling about it! =0)
I am a fatty in a girl band and I get comments all the time like “oh wow you can really rock for a BIG girl”
pshshshshshshsh. You don’t even know what to say to drunks like that! All I know is, I can play guitar like Jimmy Page and it don’t matter if I have boobs or fat rolls because I am a TOTAL ROCKSTAR. LOLZ. people have actually told me that I will NEVER be famous because I am FAT. I dont want to change who I am. RECOGNIZE!!! My friend got a contract to play in a backup band for a well know artist. It’s in his CONTRACT to loose weight!!! They wouldn’t put race as a requirement would they? But weight? Oh yea! I wish I could show those poopy heads who ROCKS!!
When I saw the pics on your blog of you & your band? I was just so fucking happy! You have no idea! I have wanted to sing in a band since I was 12! I can’t believe they could legally put that into a contract, but I know how f-d the industry is, too. Ugh! Keep on rockin’, Sue!
