Curvy Girls Rock Fashion Show Photo Album!

6/8/2014

Not 24 hours after I debuted the Tracy Turnblad roach dress homage (see image, ghurl!) with, yes, the matching nails (see nail blog asap) as the co-host of the Second Helpings Fatinee extravaganza in SF that I was out on the town for another fat positive soiree with one of my main femmes Kitty. This time our love of all things Fat High Society took us south of San Francisco to the Curvy Girls Rock Fashion Show where we got the VIP treatment from host and Curvy Girl Lingerie mastermind, Chrystal Bougon.

We talked to some press, got some ridiculously sexy goody bags from Lelo and had some soft cheeses, chicken skewers, chocolate martinis, cake and crudites. Ghurl love her some crudites.

Then the show started!

Full house!

Mother + Daughter do their thing!

After mingling and eating more cake bites I made a new friend named Shae!

And then Kitty & I took to the runway OF COURSE.

Ok ok. Me and Shae took a #bitchface photo I was gonna share with you but then I realized that would be serious emotional blog infidelity so here it is.

Whew, ghurl, time for me to go to Chevy's and get a strawberry daiquiri to go so I can cuddle up with my boo and try the new stuff I got in my goody bag!

xo,

WHY IS THERE NO COMMENTS SECTION?
I have permanently closed the comment section on my blog as of 8/20/15 so that I can better utilize the time I had previously dedicated to moderating comments. I encourage folks who have thoughts about my work to go out and have a conversation with someone about what you loved (or hated.. boo) about my writing over coffee.

I want to say that I think your views and shop support in the cause of fat shaming. Love the pictures and the confidence in the models. Keep doing what you are doing and making a stand

Please stop using the word curvy to refer to fat.

Curvy implies a woman with attractive curves, not fat rolls.

If you are that egalitarian about being fat, then you shouldn't be offended when people call you fat, because clearly, you are comfortable in your fatness.

The curvy girls, on the other hand, lost their label, being appropriated by fat girls who do not want to be honest about their own size.

Plus, it makes internet dating incredibly painful. Most men enjoy a curvy woman -- someone who is in shape, with curves in the right places. Most men do not appreciate fat women, unless they are fetishists (or have no choice).
