Fat Talk! Plus size fashion promotes obesity? Whatever!
Hi! I’m Natalie and I am obese. I am fat. I am also female. Gemini. A Daughter, Sister, Auntie. I am human. I am pretty healthy. A lot healthier then a lot of people. I am human & I deserve fashion. I have the same right as any other woman, be it a size 4, 12, 32, to have clothes that are made well and are fashionable. Gorgeous plus size ladies at the Gisela Ramirez Encore performance. The Australian‘s fashion editor, Damian Woolnough wrote on Wedneday The models were gorgeous, the clothes were unremarkable and the message about health was dangerous. Professional models, including plus-size pin-up Robyn Lawley, strutted and…

Fat Positive Manatee!
I’ve recently stumbled across a new favourite Tumblr blog. Fat Positive Manatee. Totally in love. I figure my spirit animal would probably be a manatee or dugong. So combining a few of my favourite things, animals, and love of fat, is something right up my alley! Check it out HERE! But I’ve posted a couple of my favourites below! Pet Peeve – It really frustrates me when a person tells me I’m not fat. I have no problems being who I am, I know i’m fat. But when someone says to me “You’re not fat”, I just kind of give them a quizzical look and ask “Really?”. FAT IS NOT A BAD…

We deserve fashion!
I have to admit, over the last few years, plus size fashion has started taking steps in the right direction, but it’s still not as diverse or prominent as it deserves to be. When I stumbled across the below film clip, I was moved. This beautiful black and white silent film speak volumes. Showing the gorgeous plus size model Fluvia Lacerda embracing who she is & demanding that she deserves fashion. While I’m not a huge fan of ‘demanding’, the aim of this short is so true. No matter what size we are, be it 30, 22, 12 or 6, we deserve fashion. We deserve to dress HOW we want, in…

XL as Life mentioned in Cosmo!
The wonderful Frances of Corpulent has been blogging for Cosmo! It’s been a breath of fresh air to see her fat positive articles gracing the columns of the site. In her latest post ‘In the name of FATshion’ I feel honoured to be mentioned in the blogs to read recommendation! Thanks Frances! This article is my favourite so far because fashion is something I’m passionate about & I agree with everything Frances wrote. Make sure you check it out HERE! Other Cosmo articles by Frances you should check out – “A fat woman saying NO to Fat talk” & “Aren’t you worried about your health?”

You don’t need to be thin to be…
There is a whole lot of negative assumptions when it comes to being fat, and quite honestly, i’m sick of it. Sure, a few things may be true, but every single person in the world is different, just because 2 people may be the same weight does not make them automatically have the same problems. It’s not just with fat people either, I have friends that are thin, who don’t gain wait & have some horrid accusations thrown at them. I sometimes wish that people would wise up & realise that no 2 people are a like & at the end of the day, we all have feelings! You don’t need to be…
