Interesting article/interview with Beth Ditto who is a fat, beautiful woman. She is the lead singer of a group called The Gossip.
She wears everything on stage including spandex. I love a lot of her fashion as well as her willingness to be who she is, with no apologies. She is a woman (along with others, famous and not) that I can show to my daughter and nieces and say "Look, she is fat and it isn't she fantastic." She is talented, and hasn't let some idiot idea that you have to be thin to be on stage and out in front stop her from sharing that talent.
That said, nooo I don't see me in a spandex cat suit just yet. But you never know :)

Obviously, one doesn't look to UK celebrity nudist Katie "Jordan" Price for fashion tips. And yet: My question is, considering that this is the woman who once said she wouldn't wear any skirt longer than 9 inches, does she think...
Maybe my heart is just soft because the drama of a sudden wedding is supremely soapy, or because Mimi has turned both her bodyguard and her new husband into frantic wranglers of gargantuan umbrellas. But I think she looks fantastic...
Face it: An event isn't really an event unless someone is handing out awards. So you're welcome, Met Ball. You're welcome. Sure, the awards we're handing out this week on NY Mag.com are totally facetious, but aren't those the most...
All sales final. Prices include shipping.
I accept Paypal and money orders.
Poor Roisin. I hope that thing turns out to be benign: [Photo: Splash News] It's starting to interfere with the part of her brain that usually knows well enough to leave Sophia Petrillo's Easter Sunday dress in the closet.

Many of you might scroll right on past this, but others of you may be as delighted as I am that I have just successfully ordered a cutsom GOLD BIKINI from this site that I found via another ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
fatshionista's recommendation!
I've wanted a gold bikini for a long freaking time, but kind of gave up hope until now. I was especially moved to action because I'm going to Puerto Rico on a work trip next month, and I want something that will look really awesome while I'm laying on the beach.
( Wanna see what I'm getting? Non work safe pictures under the cut if your work doesn't appreciate a fat girl in a bikini like I do. )
The cost came out to $65 after shipping, which is actually not so bad when it comes to bathing suits. Although it still baffles me that such a small amount of fabric can cost more than a party dress.
You know what other Crazy Bikini Logic bugs the shit out of me? That they don't just make bras in bikini fabric so that I can have the same awesome support of my favorite bra on the beach that I do everywhere else. Halter tops are ok, but they really make my neck hurt after a few hours. If I were more of an entrepreneur, my first product would be a balconette bra bikini top. And then maybe a plunge bra top. And I would get very rich very fast because unlike other bikinis, mine would be fashionable AND offer support!
Anyway.
The best part of this is that the woman who makes them promised that it will be here in time for my trip. WAHOO!

So, it's Friday, which means it's Embarrassing Admissions Day here at GFY. Usually, this is where I talk about something horrifyingly shameful, like how I sometimes give myself a beehive when I'm home and bored, or how I cry at...

BBC sends legal threat over fan's Doctor Who knitting patterns.
The fan has not been selling the patterns or resulting knitted plush Ood - just posting home made patterns for others to use if they want.
From the legal threat they received:
“We note that you are supplying DR WHO items, and using trade marks and copyright owned by BBC. You have not been given permission to use the DR WHO brand and we ask that you remove from your site any designs connected with DR WHO. Please reply acknowledging receipt of this email, and confirm that you will remove the DR WHO items as requested.”

Eep!
I has sisters!
But seriously, several people have made the valid suggestion re
hairline.
I agree.
However, I am totally unsure of myself as to the best way to proceed.
So, if anyone has the time (and Gimp or Photoshop) to save, edit and
email one of those pictures with an example of the best hairline to use,
I'd very much appreciate it.
Note, to save my poor in box, I'm keeping this comment open for one
hour (pleze thanks moderators for allowing this post).
Love you all.

Yes, I want feedback.
And thanks to Michelle who made this possible.

*edited to add* I wrote this earlier today in my personal blog, but realised it might actually be of interest over here as it involves what i believe to be a politically sensitive fat issue - i give you "BMI and adoption"
Hello!
Okay, so i kind of have this problem, i freaking love shoes, but i find alot of shoes really, really uncomfortable! As in, they pinch my feet, they don't have enough arch support, and they create blisters, they rub my heels painfully...My feet get sore quickly in anything other then basic sneakers. My sneakers are the only shoes that i can wear for long periods of time that don't make my feet hurt. D:
Does anyone else have this issue with shoes? Are pretty shoes always uncomfortable? I thought i'd ask here, see what others think....
Another thought, is it because i'm too fat and starting to place too much strain on my feet in anything with a heel (? does that happen ?) I am 5'10 and weigh 280 lbs...
