[wc_row][wc_column size=”one-half” position=”first”] [/wc_column][wc_column size=”one-half” position=”last”] [/wc_column][/wc_row] Here’s the thing, I’m fat… I’m pretty sure my blog title gave that one away.

UNDERSTATED A-LINE

[wc_row][wc_column size=”one-half” position=”first”] [/wc_column][wc_column size=”one-half” position=”last”] [/wc_column][/wc_row] I have been a bit bored with A-line plus size skirts lately.

I know, that probably makes me sound like an asshole. I’m …

FAT GIRL DILEMMA #138 – TO CINCH OR NOT TO CINCH

The answer to the question posed is obvious… not cinch. I know, I know fat girls should be accentuating their curves with things like belts and A-line skirts, right?! Well, that’s bogus and I’m not having it. I love a big flowy dress that is way too short and requires no effort, and in the words of …
