In the interest of full disclosure you need to know three things: I'm fat, I'm a lesbian and I love sex. Woah, too much? Too soon? Sorry about that - but for the purposes of this post I think it's better to get these things cleared up sooner rather than later. Besides, taboos? The world … Continue reading Fatsexual…

NO RULES, NO PROBLEM Over the past few weeks FATshion Faux Pas has covered a whole variety of supposed clothing “don’ts” for fat women.

Fat shaming? Yeah, it exists…
Nicole Arbour’s arbitrary video ‘Dear Fat People’ has hit the news after going viral this week. If you haven’t seen it then I’d suggest that you don’t even bother.

The plus-size community shouldn’t be let down by its own brands…
This is an article that I penned for The Independent, you can see the original here. As a plus-sized woman I feel let down, underrepresented and seriously pissed off.

The Writer’s Block Made Me Do It…
Writer's block has hit me like a ton of bricks this evening. I fully intended on writing something outspoken and rational about body positivity (as per my usual style) but my brain simply isn't connecting...

FAT AND FOXY For week seven I thought I'd take us to seventh heaven (you lucky people!) Fat women are told every day that we are not sexy and that sexiness is reserved for those who fit into societies ideal when wearing a slinky nightie or goddess approved day-wear.
