    What are you reading ?

    Risible, I LOVED The Historian--one of those books I had to buy another copy of because I gave it away. A book that reminds me of that one is The Thirteenth Tale, sorry I can't get across the room to find the author because there is a giant cat blocking the way! Something about the flow of...

    gay guys and fat women

    Lady at Large, you make a point I can relate to, you say: I didn't realize that I had been separated from gay male friends by my husband (who became almost homophobic as his illness progressed) until he passed away. In the months after his death I found myself becoming very close friends...

    Supersize characters in books and literature

    I don't think anyone's mentioned and I don't know how I could have forgotten Sue Ann Jaffarian's Odelia Grey, the middle-aged, plus-size, humorous amateur sleuth. Sue Ann has accomplished an amazing feat with her mystery series, she self-published the first one or two, tirelessly promoted them...

    Supersize characters in books and literature

    For activistfatgirl, I'm also an avid student of fat characters in fiction-- BTW - I hope this doesn't post twice, I just edited spell checked and vaporized an email. This one will be rougher. A list I compiled a few years back of sleuths of size is archived here...

    Gloriously abundant teapots

    Thanks for posting those, Sandie! The sculptor is a woman--Karen Portaleo. It's a little hard to tell that because the website belongs to a male sculptor of teapots who is featuring her work. Clearly, Portaleo sees the sensual side of abundanat flesh. Another artist on another site...

    Gloriously abundant teapots

    Sorry my graphics skills aren't up to posting a pic of this supersized BBW belly dancer teapot (maybe someone else can post the actual jpg?) It's worth seeing. I found it at Lara Frater's at Fat Chicks Rule blog and someone on Laurie Edison's blog found the URL for the artist--Karen...

    Whats your age range?

    57 here--perversely glad not to be like totally the eldest, and recollecting a remark I made when I 25, "Oh, he's an older man, he must be 36." Lynne

    Fat Boy dating discussion...

    Hi Tim, I've been lurking more than anything. But I find the efforts to put together meetings interesting. I don't know how many people on this forum have been involved in various different events. For myself (and I am both an older person and an introvert, so "just being with people"...

    Fat Boy dating discussion...

    Wanderer, I just had to reply to the your message mentioning being a writer. I'm old enough to be your mom (old enough to be most everyone's mom here, it seems) but I am also an author and I was very amused to find out in one book on writing that publishing one's work is a good way "to meet...

    A passing has taken place.

    All that long msg and I got your name wrong (I plead not knowing how to go backand check without losing my longwinded message!) Take care! Lynne

    A passing has taken place.

    Dear Photoman, I am sorry you are suffering this loss. My husband of 11 years died in '91, and my father, who had also lost a spouse said, "it's like an amputation." The one thing you want is to have is that person back and that is the one thing you cannot have. I also had 5 cats at the...

    I'm TOTALLY FREAKED OUT RIGHT NOW!! Help!

    BBWDREAMLOVER, I am sorry you are going through this and I agree with others who recommend Gavin De Becker's THE GIFT OF FEAR--I have bought more than one copy as a gift for friends. I should say that I've had one minor experience with a stalker and I can testify that "being nice, being...

    I am NOT an animal!!!! (rant)

    Dagorat, I like your mom's "Take a picture, it'll last longer!" reaction to staring, because it's short and easy to remember. But I just had a horrible thought...with so many people having those camera cell phones, that might be interpreted as an invitation to really take a picture... The...

    "The Abject Body-Myths of Fatness"

    Thanks to Miss T (I know I'll spell it wrong and I had enough trouble logging in to risk backing up to check!) for this link,and congratulations to Maggie Macary on your dissertation, doctorhood and very interesting work! I feel moved to comment on the slippery nature of myths and dreams (in...

    Actors Playing Fat

    You have some very good points, Pattycake. (Enough to tempt me into a maiden post, so 'scuse me if I commit some weird error.) Putting aside the "actors in fat suits" situation, about which a lot has been written and probably still can be written. I'm always interested when an actual fat actor...
