Just as Beautiful: Britain's first plus-size... →
weighty:
This is an interesting standpoint. Do “plus size” magazines, shows, websites, etc. do more to help body acceptance, or to hurt it. Is compartmentalizing people based on body-size beneficial, or should we look for a more inclusive approach? Or a blend? These are great issues, and I think Holesintheground makes some great points. I do think though, it’s nice to celebrate the beauty of...

This is from her interview with that awful woman! I wanted to transcribe it but it happened too fast but this is what I was talking about when I said she was introducing ITV2 to fat acceptance.

Huge & The Future Of Fat On TV →
Whether Huge will return is unclear. But it was an engaging, thoughtful, heartwarming show that should have gotten more attention than it did. The program gave us a chance to talk about weight in a different way from Dance Your Ass Off, The Biggest Loser or More To Love. The characters (based on those in the book Huge by Sasha Paley) were not only painted in a human way, but a humane way. The...

UMM most amazing interview I’ve ever read. A creative team writing for a show on cable television that actually GETS fat acceptance and wants to promote self-acceptance in ALL of its forms in a nuanced, not overly-cheesy way??? RADICAL, AMAZING, AWESOME, ETC.
For example:
Lesley: Give us a little background on your relationship with size acceptance and...

I always saw heavy people as ugly because I was raised that way. This website has made me change my views on beauty. Everyone is beautiful, people don’t always see that. I got very critical of everything wrong with me when I turned 12 and wasn’t built like others. I’m beautiful, and you are too.

Spanx or tights work, but in a pinch sometimes lotion helps. I read about Luvees on Frock and Frou, but haven’t tried them yet. One of my friends uses deodorant also, but I haven’t tried that.

I know a lot of larger people who are Harry Potter fans, and I’ve heard horror story after horror story of larger guests being turned away from some of the lines, usually rudely, and usually after waiting in line…
