Real Life Woes of Plus Size Models

Very funny, guys…

Seriously, stealing my clothes while I was in the tub, hilarious, I mean it. Now hurry up and take the picture, the suckers on the other side of this bathmat are beginning to bruise.

Queen of Fattitude

Oy Vey!

Someone – I don’t remember who—has borrowed my precious copy of Camryn Manheim’s hilarious and inspiring memoir, Wake Up, I’m Fat!

I must purchase a new copy so that I can refer to it and quote from it and share with you, my Big Sisters, the wisdom of this talented and beautiful actress.

I suggest that you, too, purchase a copy. Read it. Learn it. Live it. It is the Fat Girl’s Bible.

And while you are waiting for your very own copy to arrive, you can admire this crochet tunic sweater and Irish Linen skirt, both available in Womens and Womens Petite sizes at Talbots.com at well over 50% off!

Happy shopping and happy reading!

No. Freakin’. WAY.

No Freakin’ WAY

Thanks to superfantastic Style Spy for spotting these!

Plumcake’s Secrets of Fabulousness: Walk Right this Way

I don’t French kiss inanimate objects, it’s just a personal policy. Sure I might get a little snuggly with some flats at a traffic light, and okay if there’s a guy you know who’s in a coma but has a hospital wing named after his family, let me know, but otherwise the rule remains: no pulse, no pucker. That’s just the way I roll.

That being said, I totally want to kiss these things with tongues, and so should you.

The Footpetals “Stiletto Survival Kit” is a revelation and quite possibly the only reason I don’t fall face-first onto asphalt more often than I do (which is to say, more than once a day). I’ve used just about every insert on the planet and these are by far the best.

I don’t know how they do it, but I suspect it involves human sacrifice and harvesting unicorn horns at midnight, and you know what? I am totally okay with that. Well, not the human sacrifice because y’all know how I’d hate to see our readership go down, but seriously, what was the last thing a unicorn ever did for you?

I’m just sayin’.


Typically they’re 49.95 and worth every penny, but they are on super sale at www.footpetals.com. Bonus: use coupon code FPVIP207 and get an additional 20% off your order!

A shoe for waning summer days

If paired with an exceedingly simple white summer dress, these Shannon Britt sandals pay homage to summer so prettily, without quite crossing the line to ridiculous. And they are 30% off!

Although not available in wide widths, they do run through size 12.

Simplicity of the dress is paramount!

Remember to put on a spritz of floral perfume!
