That’s pretty much going to be the gist of every post and article about Kirstie Alley’s virgin dance on Dancing With the Stars Monday night.

In reality, she did amazingly well for any chick. She danced her fat ass off.
Her lemur-loving, crazy-like-Charlie-Sheen-before-there-was-Tiger-Blood self fox-trotted all over that dance floor and scored herself a 23 right out of the gate.
I’ll be honest – I don’t normally watch Dancing With the Stars. I’ve kept up with the seasons and caught dances from time to time, but as a whole, it’s not a must-watch for me. But, seeing that Kirstie Alley was going to be out there on the dance floor with her normal-looking, every-woman body in sequins and Spanx, I had to check her out.
She did not disappoint.
Kirstie got out there with the sexy man meat that is Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and danced for every woman who was mocked, stared at, targeted as the butt of fat jokes, gained weight, lost weight, gained weight again, and is now getting healthy.
We stand with fellow Curvy Girl, Kirstie Alley, for being brave and dancing on the backs of the haters.

Amen!
I didn’t see the show, but I have to comment that I’m at a conference this week so I’m reading from my iPhone and OMG you guys have your site up to be mobile. You guys are so awesome we need a new word to describe you.
YOU are Awesome.
I did go back and watch her on You Tube (as soon as I snuck back to my hotel room). Man, she did fantastic!
I thought she looked and danced fabulously… And she’s 60 years old!
i know – crazy that she’s 60.
I thought she did great! The best of the night. I love Dancing With The Stars! I’m rooting for her all the way.
i’ve loved her since Cheers. i hope she keeps it up!
AGREE!!
She did a great job…for anyone. End of sentence! Great post Angie.
exactly. and thanks!
I’ve been a fan of Kirstie for years. I love her. She kicked some ass last night and she is the only reason I am watching DWTS.
I actually read an article a couple of years ago that studied larger women who were taking beginner’s ballet, and the author argued that at the beginner level (he did not study more advanced levels), bigger women actually have a great deal more grace while dancing than many skinnier women because they have had to learn to move with grace throughout their lives. Big or small, Kirstie moved with a great deal of grace and skill. Well done for her!
She did amazingly! I was so proud of her. She is the reason that I’m watching this season! I hope she continues to do great!
My Mum can record it for me but we don’t get the right channels on our TV to watch DWTS here in the UK.
I’ll probably take a look at the clips on YouTube if they are still there
