Where The Action Is
Sorry for the dearth of posts this week, but there's still plenty of excitement happening in the comments. For instance here, where Linda puts the smackdown on Mark. (And thank you, Mark, for giving us something to talk about.)
"You can't look at this issue without looking at how larger women are trained from infancy to treat themselves like shit. They are -- we are. And for many of them, they grow up buying what fits and getting the hell out of the store because they are made to feel like they aren't worth better. But when some of that 500-pound millstone of judgmental bullshit is lifted off their chests, they'd be perfectly happy -- and they'd prefer -- to dress attractively, distinctively, and stylishly, to the same extent as everyone else."
Also, Beth points us to another source for ugly plus-sized clothing here. And a whole lot of people think that I am Mo'Nique. Tragically, I am not.

That is *really* funny how many people thought you were Mo'Nique.

I think that your "Mark" is the same tool by that name who was over at Pasta Queen's joint recently going on about how women use pregnancy as an excuse to--gasp--eat whatever they want! And become big fat arses and thus not appropriate subjects of the male gaze.
Dude spends an awful lot of time trolling weight loss blogs, as was noted below, for someone who hates fat people so much.
Dear Gods. The orange satin "poncho" type item on the front page of that site is a complete atrocity!
"Here, you plus size ladies must have always wanted to look like a halloween novelty lampshade with an oriental twist!"
So, is volumpious the piety of voluptuousness? Or could it be a verb? I am going to volump down the hallway right now!
