A prickly pear chair! I had to look a few times before I understood what I was looking at. I love this chair style, and I adore that the back has been used to replicate a cactus! It’s by Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers, and her site is currently down but I’ll link to the Design*Sponge post…

Confessions of a former snarker
To know me is to watch me change. I’ve had about five different hair colours in the last year, but that’s not what I mean. I want to talk about changing my mind, my outlook, and my behaviour. It’s highly unrealistic to have a picture of someone in your mind that never changes, yet it’s…
No more Frock Watch Mia, please
Mia Freedman is an ex-editor of Australian Cosmopolitan magazine, and now a blogger and supposed advocate for body image. Recently she came under fire for a post about gainerism and using language that painted all fat people in a really awful way. She did not moderate the hateful comments on the post, and in fact…
Wanna make a pretty frock?
I’ve been a fan of Burda patterns and BurdaStyle for a few years now, and love the idea of open source sewing patterns. Unfortunately in recent years, the BurdaStyle site has deviated from the open source ideology however there are still a bunch of talented users on the site uploading their own patterns! When I…
The Problem With Tights
I am a lady who loves tights. Several of my recent (and most popular) posts are about tights. Or leggings. By now you might have noticed that I use those words interchangeably but yep, I mean the stretchy tubes you put on the lower half of your body. I’m sorry if that annoys you but…
DIY Project: Fringe Skirt
Heyyy, wanna make a fun fringy skirt that flicks when you move your hips? I have been a bit sad recently because I don’t have money for things like new clothes, even if they are awesome clothes like City Chic‘s fringed skirt (which has now sold out on the website!) See how rad this skirt…
It’s nice to share
Climb on your bathroom vanity and do your daily affirmations like this awesome young lady! I’m not a huge “affirmation” person but this is too cute. “if all you needed to get fat was eat an order of pancakes we’d all be fucked” by Natalie Dee Well, well, well…isn’t this interesting… Bri from Fat Lot…
lovedrobe: here to save me from black?
I wear a lot of black because it seems like it’s the only thing I can buy a lot of the time. Imagine my utter delight when I came across lovedrobe – a UK plus size clothing retailer who sell pretty, whimsical, femme garments in a number of lovely pastel colours! Frills, florals and rosettes!…
The Australian Fatshionistas
Australian mainstream media is slowly becoming aware that plus size fashion is a hotly discussed topic but it seems they know little of the Aussie fatshionistas writing about plus size fashion on the internet. After seeing Gabi from Young, Fat and Fabulous on The Morning Show last week I wanted to do a comprehensive list…
It’s nice to share
Look at me, again I’ve really enjoyed reading Hazel Dooney’s blog, and this post in particular hit a nerve with me. On the odd occasion I feel a little shame for being so “out there”, and using the internet to promote myself and my art (also: my politics!) but Ms Dooney reminds me that I…
