Fat Studies: A Critical Dialogue was INCREDIBLE. I truly can’t put into words how wonderful it was but I’m going to attempt to at a later stage. There were so many fabulous people to meet and ideas to action and a buttload of fun and friendship. In the interim please accept a video of my…

The Finders Keepers Brisbane and Curvy 2010
The Finders Keepers are coming back for the Brisbane Spring/ Summer markets and I was asked to design the poster! The Brisbane markets will take place on November 6 and 7 at The Old Museum. Applications for stalls are still open at the moment, so if you want to go sell your wares make sure…
Off to Sydney (again)!
Last night I put the finishing touches on my presentation for the Fat Studies Conference! I scanned a bunch of photos and this was one of my favourites – I got very sunburnt on year 12 camp and one of my friends put a spider in my lap when she came across the photo in…
My radio debut on 612 ABC Brisbane
This morning I had a chat with Chris O’Brien on 612 ABC Brisbane and we talked about fat acceptance and the burgeoning movement within Australia. I’m still really sick so I sound all sultry and crook, so I invited Nick to come with me because I was worried I’d pass out or trail off into…
My feral leghair, and why I’m going to grow it.
Shaving unwanted bodily hair has been an act of femininity I’ve been performing since I was 13 or 14 years old. At the time I wanted to shave my legs like the other girls, because those who didn’t were teased and considered masculine or ape-like. Fitting in was important, but very quickly the novelty of…
Free to loving homes: your September desktop
September is here, only four days late… can you forgive me?! I hadn’t forgotten, it’s just I was busy you see and I have a funny feeling the first few days of the month are going to set the trend for the next few weeks. The colour inspiration is quite obviously taken from a juicy…
Chambord Shine Awards – Finals Time!
Sponsored by Nuffnang The finals for the Chambord Shine Awards were held on Tuesday night in Sydney and I was down there amongst all the glamorous people! It’s been such an honour to be involved in blogging the Shine Awards over the past few months, and to have access to some of Australia’s best fashion…
Kayser, feel my fatty rage
I don’t normally do this sort of thing, but right now I’m mopping up tears of frustration. After searching for sheer black pantyhose for a long time I went into Myer the other day I was surprised to find that the Kayser Plus Resilience Pantyhose size chart would accommodate my legs. This afternoon I tried…
Ridiculous outfit, serious topic.
After simply forever I finally got the t-shirt and dress I bought from the Asos Curve sale weeks and weeks ago. I’ve been sick this week, so it took me a while to try everything on and I can’t say I was very enthused about my purchases. The t-shirt, just a simple long white number,…
Flowering plants, fanciful people and a fabulous pig
When you saw this pretty piggy did you clasp your hands together and squeal?! That’s what I did. Apparently this is part of a jewellery spread for Vogue Russia featuring Cartier and Chopard. There are some more photos over at fashionologie! (I just hope those earrings are clip-ons…) I’m pretty sure watermelons have the best…
