The Fat Apple

The Big Apple is bigger and juicier than you thought!

This is a space for my plus sisters out there who, like me, don't apologize for their weight & plan to enjoy what NYC has to offer in style!

Women's Group to Discuss Renn's "Hungry" and Build Self-Esteem

I have always been thankful for the people who come into and through my life. I can honestly say that I would not be the person I am today if it weren't for the folks who helped mold me. One such person is life coach, Melissa King. The funny thing is that I don't exactly remember how I heard about Melissa and her life and wellness coaching. I only remember how, like yoga, I always felt refreshed after we had a session and even more so while being a part of a young woman's group more than a year… Continue

Plus-Size Teens Compete in Beauty

Last year, while watching "America's Next Top Model" I was excited to see that Tyra Banks decided to change up the model competition by focusing on petite models. I am all about challenging the status quo. Half jokingly I tweeted "Dear Tyra, next season on Top Model...Plus size Models please..."… Continue

Fat is the New Black : Golden Globes Style

The Golden Globes Award show was preceded with much buzz, "Who will win?", "What will the stars wear?"
Not surprisingly, much of the fashion reporting centered around women's bodies and what they wore. From the New York Times image distortion of Christina Hendricks and New York Times Magazine writer Andy Port claiming that Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and Kate Hud… Continue

Saks Holiday Windows and Large Lady in a Fur Coat

I'm a very Christmas-y person. I love the holidays, caroling, decorating the trees and holiday gatherings with friends and family.

Imagine my surprise when in the Saks window I see a fat woman being compared to a bear!

For 2009 the Saks windows, a holiday tradition… Continue
