This week has been super busy with extra long hours at work, some amazing giveaways (enter here, here, here and here) to celebrate my blog’s 2nd birthday and just generally bringing the hustle. With this in mind, it’ll come as no surprise that my Aussie Curves: Denim post is coming in at the last minute…
I’m inspired by other fatties being fat. I started reading fat blogs when I moved to South Korea, and until that point I had honestly believed that being fat meant I wasn’t entitled to being happy or living a life I enjoyed. It kinda sucks but it was a revelation I didn’t have to equate fatness with misery.
I’m totally feeling the Amber love this week – this woman inspires me so much (plus, she’s super fun and I love spending time with her!), so here she is in a second feature for the week. Missed her earlier? Check out our Chubby Cartwheels editorial shoot from earlier in the week here.
This is the first photo I ever took of Amber, and if you made it along to my recent exhibition, you’ll recognise it as being one of my collector’s item postcards. I chose this to be one of my two postcard designs because for me it really embodies what Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes is all about – feeling comfortable in your own skin, being confident, and embracing fashion despite being told certain things are “not for you” because of your size
Last Thursday was the opening of Unitec’s Grad Show, and with it the end of my studies at Unitec. I wanted to share my outfit from the night, as well as a few snaps of me with my work for those of you who have been unable to make it in to see the exhibition for yourselves. Just a warning that this post includes photos of one of one of my pieces that involves four incredibly gorgeous, incredibly naked ladies – so if you’re not okay with ladies who are comfortable with their naked selves, or you are at work, you probably should just stop right here… View Post
