Linkdump Part 3: Body-positivity/Fat-activism
It's pretty amazing the things you find on the internet, isn't it? Especially when someone like me, who has fought to accept myself the way I look after years of bullying in school. Something I still to this day struggle with, even though I'm 36 years old now. I've gotten past much from my years as a bullied kid, but accepting the way I look? Harder. So much harder.
But then I stumbled upon this movement online... What FANTASTIC women!!! That's all I gota say about this... Just... Follow the links: Read, watch and enjoy these amazing women! Such attitude!!! :-D
Eating out where others can see you is never easy when you're being fat or heavy. I know this very very well. And these two posts describes this so very well it's bloody scary...
STOP! IT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON FOOD POLICE!
Eating while fat
This was also a very interestingly written piece... WHY do we really wanna lose weight? To be happy? To fit in? Or why? It sure made me think a few times more...
The Fantasy Of Being Thin
Then there's those thin people who wants to help us poor fat people... Because we sure need help, right? But why do they wanna help us? Really? This also made me think.
You can not help those you loathe
Fat Heffalump is a pretty kickass fat lady, by the way. And I am so grateful to have found her. :-) Thanx snowstormskies for sending me the link to her blog. :-)

Another interesting blogger is The Nearsighted Owl. Not only is she really cute and posts some awesome outfits of the day now and then... She is clever and fun to! And sports some ROCKING tattoos as well! :-D

Then I got a link from an RP-friend of mine from New Zealand who follows this blog that has a really cool project. She's a fashionwriter and photographer, so this project... it's called Fat Girls Shouldn't Wear Stripes... And the girls she shoot picturs off are really REALLY cool! Not to mention the other posts she makes are usually fun and interesting as well. (If you like nailpolish, you should check it out for sure!)

And then there's the sex... Because fat people can't have sex, right? Or enjoy it? And it's disgusting when fat people have sex, eh? Or it's used for comedy in movies... Fail. This was a fun, if NSFW! post on the subject. HOW can a fat girl have sex and actually enjoy her sexuality with a partner that enjoys her and her body? :-) I lvoed this, especially since it's written with such warm and flirty tone! So much win...
FAT SEX: What everyone wants to know but is afraid to ask
Lastly I'd like to point out the really awesome community fatshionista. It's a really cool community! A lot of nice Outfits Of The Day, discussions about reactions from society... where to buy nice clothes... etc, etc.. It's just a nice place all around. Highly recommended!
Promised a LARP-friend to share these links, so now I did. She is, by the way, a damn gorgeous young woman... And I haven't seen a woman rock a corset like her in a LONG time! And the amount of stuff she can hide in her décolletage is downright scary... o.O Yes, I have breast-envy. Shut up. *lol*
