When Hot & Heavy: Fierce Fat Girls on Life, Love and Fashion was about to be released by Seal Press last November, my publicist at the time, Andie (who loves alliteration and earnestly preparing for the zombie apocalypse), recommended we brainstorm a campaign in anticipation of publication. At first I thought 30 days of fat-something... And Andie suggested 50. Since "fifty" and "fat" both start with "F." And so 50 Days of Fat Ferociousness was born. I asked about 35 people to tell me what made them hot and heavy, and then I added some major fat figures/ illuminati to the mix. Here are some highlights... What's that? You want to leisurely enjoy each and every postcard from the 50 Days of Fat Ferociousness? Well you can do it by clicking right here.
