Have you seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It’s horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels, I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not realistic. We need to address real women with real needs.

RIP Adam Yauch of the Beasties. All Beastie Boys, all day in the office now.
I grew up in a conservative part of Indiana, so I couldn’t listen to Beastie Boys when I wanted to, and I couldn’t buy any either because of trying to find their stuff and getting their music past my parents. Heavy metal — yes; rap — no. Odd, I know. But now I’m an adult and I can listen to all Beastie whenever I want to.
When I saw JJ’s Star Trek, I was the only one rocking out to this in the theater. I got a lot of odd looks. Odd looks from Trek fans. Yep, that’s me.

I have a date Friday. Saying this out loud because I’m stunned. Haven’t been on a first date in awhile.
Chelsea and I are going to start an online magazine with a strong emphasis on young girls and women of color, trans girls, disabled girls, non-heteronormative girls, queer girls, fat girls, mentally ill girls, etc etc.
We (Chelsea, also known as popca on tumblr, and…
That’s Christopher Hart teaching us how to draw men. Seems like a lot of variety. He even includes non-muscular thin men and fat men. Looks good. I’m glad that we have an artist who gets that there’s a variety of characters you might have to draw and that different body shapes adds to the differentiation of characters! How refreshi-
Um… So we have one thin athletic large breasted woman… one thin slightly smaller breasted woman, and a whole bunch of thin large breasted women… and apparently pants are banned in the Hart-verse.
My brain boggles at how he could create those 2 pages and not have his head explode from the double standard.
sigh…..
