Jasmine: Roller Derby Beauty

June 19, 2013

Confession… nothing excites me as much as bad ass curvy women, rocking fashion and rocking life. I strive to surround myself with them, working beside them, being inspired by them, sharing their light with anyone I can my hands on. And Jasmine? Well, she’s one addicting curvy role model. On top of being a fashion [...]

Breaking Down in Fred Meyer

May 29, 2013

On our way back into Seattle from a nice, relaxing visit with the in-laws (no, really), my wife and I decided to stop at Fred Meyer for some much-needed household supplies. As Lindy was busy filling the basket with useful sundries, I foolishly thought, “Hey, we’re going to a film festival in a few days. [...]

Swimsuit Bravery?

May 21, 2013

Last week, I casually mentioned I needed to go bathing suit shopping and thousands of people (or maybe just my six remaining friends) told me how “brave” I was. I started worrying about why bravery was required to go bathing suit shopping, and then I remembered that my ass looks like it lives down the [...]

Apple Girl

May 17, 2013

Apple. I know it’s kind of a hard name to hear, I mean, have you looked at an apple lately?  It’s not the sexiest fruit in the produce aisle, but you’re not an apple—you’re an apple shape, and that’s something you can make work (“werk” even).  For starters, you’ve got a great rack and some [...]

Abercrombie & Fitch, aka The In-Crowd

May 7, 2013

It could be the new hashtag, #afhatesfatchicks. Social Media has placed upon our doorsteps the latest in body hate news, Abercrombie & Fitch and their distaste for fat people. No wait, fat girls. Just girls. You see, Abercrombie doesn’t make girls clothes past Large, but goes up to XXL for men. You know, for the [...]

Chelsea McGowan: Picture Perfect Curves

May 3, 2013

Hey you, curvy girl over there, did you know you can be fashionable and have a blast doing it? I think sometimes we forget that, because for so long, the style choices just weren’t there for us. And even as more and more options open up, it’s admittedly a bit of a learning curve trying [...]

You Be The Judge

April 23, 2013

I have 42 dresses clawing for space in my closet these days (coincidentally, that’s one for every year of my life). People have made assumptions about what that means, but the simple truth is that I own 42 dresses because that’s how many I’ve found that fit me. Just like those girls (and by those [...]

Triple Dare: Put On A Bikini, Take A Photo Of Yourself, Publish It On The Internet

March 18, 2013

When Brittany told me this weekend that she A) bought a few bikinis, B) was going to have her picture taken wearing said bikinis, and C) post those pictures on the internet, way too many emotions flowed through my heart. I love my dear friend, and because I love her, I was immediately D) scared [...]

Skincare Through the Ages: Your 40s

February 27, 2013

Hello friends! This will be the last post in the Skincare Through the Ages series. I’m wrapping it up with what I hear is the best age, 40-something women! (At least according to The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which in the most recent episode exclaimed that “40 is the new 20!”)  I just turned 33, [...]

Skincare Through The Ages: Your 30s

February 6, 2013

I had relatively few skincare problems until I entered my 30s. But when I turned 30… man, I wished for my perfect 20-something skin. It all started when I got pregnant at 30. Pregnancy does a real number on your skin! I did experience the so-called pregnancy “glow” but I also had a horrible case [...]
