This is a call to action. The Second Cumming
needs your sweet ass to strut on the fatwalk this
Tuesday, 12:30pm in front of McGill's redpath
library. There will be music and fattening foods
(cheesecake), food-involved sexy games and a
purple carpet. There will also be hotties in drag
and fatties in undies, fat erotica and educational
literature, whipped cream à go go and a celebrity
judge. If you're lucky there may also be
marshmallows.
Please come out!
For more info, contact thesecondcumming@riseup.net
Love always,
the second cumming
PS your sweet ass doesn't have to be fat

The Second Cumming, McGill’s premiere radical
queer group, cordially invites you to:
ABSOLUTELY FLABULOUS: A Body-Positive Fat-shion Runway
Tuesday, April 18, 12:30pm
Redpath Terrace (outside of the library), McGill University
The Fat-shion Runway will consist of a fatwalk, music, games, prizes, and
special guest drag MC, Ana Key. It has been organized to draw attention to
and resist sizeism and fatphobia, both in and outside of the queer
community. We believe that the mainstream queer community has followed
the lead of a broader society that discriminates against and desexualizes
every person whose body fails to fit its rigid definition of normality or
beauty. The queer community may only get wet at the sight of washboard
abs under a strobe light, but The Second Cumming thinks that every queer
body is fuckable.
We recognize sizeism, fatphobia, and other body-negative attitudes as
parts of a system of overlapping oppressions that deny us pleasure and
self-determination. We demand recognition of the beauty and sexuality of
all bodies - regardless of size, shape, ability and anatomy - and the end
of oppressive body norms both within the queer community and in broader
society.
The Second Cumming was formed in the fall of 2005 to provide alternative
queer voices in a system dominated by consumption and body fascism. In
January 2006, it organized an action against the homophobic, racist, and
classist policies of HemaQuebec resulting in HemaQuebec closing down the
blood drive and leaving McGill campus.
