Run, Fat Boy, Run!

Ever see that movie? I think Thandie Newton is just beautiful, see:

She's mixed I believe.

So someone posted this on their blog and I loved it and it fits my mood slightly so I thought I'd share:

So true. I know I need to lose another...1,000 pounds, but still you can treat me with more respect >.>

Well here's an update:

I'm meeting some cool people, slowly. People that aren't sorority brats (and I have nothing again sororities and their members. I actually know some severly sweet/nice sorority girls and frat guys. But if you act like a stuck up brat with an "I am holier than thou" attitude, I may have some unhappy thoughts towards you) and I am finding it cool. Got on a dorm council. Met a BEA-U-TIFUL guy that I plan on...watching? Stalking basically, if ya wanna get down to the point. I am in love with his gorgeous blue/gray eyes.

Oh! And I got a few jobs working on costumes and make-up/hair for some upcoming shows. So I'm excited. And I also won't have to deal with my roommate soon (don't even get me started on the b.s. she pulled recently) so...yay!

So you know how I mentioned I'm having to deal with some racism? Well I don't feel like posting my experiences, but I am going to copy and paste what my sister said about her class today:

Whether it was serious or not its not okay. She says the student that said it was a ditzy/not so bright girl and that the teacher probably laughed because of something that happened in a different class and BECAUSE she wasn't the brightest. Still, such activity should have been reprimanded, in my opinion. I have witness plenty college professors confront students when they've said something racist, especially when its a class with a small group of minorities. And this is supposedly some big year for the school - 50 years since they stopped racism on their campus and allowed black students in. This should be more of a reason to watch for those kinds of comments.

But I still love this school. It has some serious faults, but all schools do. But I still may be heading to my dream school once I get some casshhh (you guys should donate, yeah? Yeah?)

And going back to the fat thing (though I prefer 'plus size'), take a look at these hot mamas!

All of these photos came from one of my favorite blogs: Viva Voluptuous

Seriously, love the blog.

And now I want to post some sites I found on the subject of men dating bigger women/how bigger women are better. Some were actually really offensive - which means I laughed so hard that I cried. It didn't hurt my feelings and I'm super sensitive but I guess I should warn you guys just in case you are easily offended. I'll separate:

BUT WAIT!

Another warning, their all kind of sexual too. But, yeah:

BPU: BIG PEOPLE UNITE! <----Our motto at my old school

Rant: Fat or Skinny (Feel Free To Ignore)

     So, this subject has been heavy on my mind lately. Especially this summer. And if you read this and feel I offended you and your size or something in anyway, its not my intention. I'm just releasing my thoughts. I'm a big girl - and take that anyway you want it. No, I'm not 400 pounds (though some people actually believed me when I said I was 426..?) but I am still pretty hefty. For years I have been ridiculed because of it. I've tried constantly to lose weight in my past, though it wasn't really successful until recently (when I wasn't even trying!).

     As I mentioned before, I went to a residential art school. There I met so many different people, and they all accepted me for who I am: Fat, cupcake & unicorn obsessed, "weird" outfits and accessories, and much more. It wasn't up until halfway through my junior year did I begin to be happy with myself - size and all. When senior year hit, I really felt confident because I began to embrace myself and my style. Now, my confidence levels are sky high. Yes, I am still self-conscious in some areas. Yes, I still don't think I'm all "beautiful." And yes, I still can't talk easily to guys I find attractive. But now, I don't mind walking into Wal-Mart with my cupcake headband on, having people stare at my make-up, and going pants-less whenever I feel rather than just at home. I even managed to happily skinny dip with all of my friends. I'm really comfortable in my skin and body now, and I keep getting more and more into it. The only thing I want is to drop a size or two more, and do some toning.

     But I find myself going back and forth between Toning Up and Losing It All. For so long I wanted to freely wear a bikini at the beach, and wear short shorts without having somebody, some where, mention my "fat thighs." What kills me is that I am HAPPY being bigger. I love that fact that I can say "I'm plus size" and "I have curves." I love my hips. I love my boobies. I love the butt that has been slowly forming as my thighs shrink. I mean yes, being skinny would be easier. Especially as far as shopping. I hate that to get a good/cute/durable outfit I will probably have to pay like $60. But I'm trying to be a costume designer, it wouldn't hurt to practice by making my own clothes, right? It helps me stay "unique." ;)

     I am no longer stuck on "If you're fat, you're ugly." One of the most BEAUTIFUL girls I know is about the size of two of me. Maybe more (I doubt it, but I'm bad with judging things like this). She has a voice to die for, amazing acting skills, kind/huge heart, and so many more great qualities. And she is in love with her size and does not hide it - she is actually like a role model for me.

     I think whats killing me is A) Society and the Media and B) The area I live in.
A).
    Are we not taught from the very beginning that we need to be skinny? The Jenny Craig commercials actually degrades bigger women in some of their ads. Just really pay attention to some of the things they say and how they attempt to lure you in. The first time I noticed, it really hit me and hurt. All I could think was "Wow, really?" Even with toys. None of us had fat Barbies, did we? Or fat dolls in general? Even the soft body ones had toned up bodies. All of the things sported in front of girls included skinny girls: Modeling, Cheerleading, Dancing/Ballet, and even Acting. Do you know how many people think fat girls can't cheer? I have a bigger friend who was captain of her squad of SKINNY cheerleaders. So many people say fat girls can't do dance. I know an AMAZING dancer that's bigger than me. Hell, I took a ballet/modern class and did better than some of the girls that were in the dance discipline. As far as acting, they never cast bigger girls unless the role was written to be for someone bigger. And that's something else that's killing me. I want, no NEED, to act along with doing make-up and costumes. I have gotten to a point where I want to do movies along with stage acting. I REFUSE to take a part written for a fat girl because they want a skinny girl as their lead. I'll stage backstage. I want a part that's good, and can be for someone fat or skinny. I refuse to conform to what the media thinks will sell better. I don't want my weight to hinder what I roles I get - especially when I know I'm good enough to get almost anything I audition for. And modeling. Look at her:

Tara Lynn. Beautiful and plus size. And as far as I can see (though I could be off) she is not rushing to shed her curves like most other famous plus size women.
Usually when they show "plus size" girls, they show the ones that don't even look it. Yes, she may be bigger than a 6, but still. In my eyes, they are aren't even true plus size. They are like, a different version of it - in a way. They're just curvy, I guess you can say.

B)
     I live 20 minutes from a college campus. Ole Miss to be exact. Look at these girls, enough said. I can only compete with them with my brain and personality. This one was short, ha.

Right now, I'm pretty happy with my size. I, of course, am working to get to where I can be truly happy (or as happy as I can get with these thoughts on my mind). I plan on just getting to one goal, and deciding the rest as my future plays out. Size really shouldn't matter, and I hope they stays true for me. But at the moment, I can happily say: I'm plus size and I'm happy.

Thoughts?

P.S: Favorite plus size blog - Curves To Kill

ASOS Crave!

So, its another late night for me and I'm  browsing shops! I decided to check out the sale items at ASOS and boy did I create a wish list:

Cute stuff, no? The dress I want..no, NEED the most is the pink one with the beautiful pastel stripes (between the color full dress, and the colorful tank paired with black skinnies).

All of the outfits are on the ASOS Curves part of their page. I love that they have hot, fashionable clothes for both plus size girls and smaller girls. For some, they are a little pricey, but hey! It all looks like its worth it :3 Check them out, if you haven't already. You'll love it<3

Tell me about some looks you are craving! Whether its from ASOS or somewhere else. Throw 'em at me!

Cupcake's Clothes

So I am a bigger lady, in both size and personality! I also tend to love crazy or "weird" things! One of my many personalities is that of a Lolita Girl. When I wear Lolita-ish garb (I haven't saved enough for a legit dress yet D: ) people look at me as if I'm...special. You don't see many plus size ladies that are A) Lolita. B) Confident to wear what they want. C) Both! I, myself, am very confident in my body (after being forced to by theatre - but I am happy for it!) and I love seeing other girls that are plus size and dress how they want!

I found Georgina's blog, Cupcake's Clothes a bit ago and the more I look at it the more I drool!

She's a 22 year old plus size girly from England and she is gorgeous! Her blog has almost everything I love. Lolita, fashion, jewelry, England, pink! And more(: I love all of the little tidbits of her life and fashions. And their are pastels everywhere on her blog...yes<3

I've been feeling down due to some life/family issues and she has given me inspiration for make-up and crafts! I'm excited now :3 Oh! And I am dying to have her outfits and shoes. Those purses aren't looking bad either(: I need to know where she gets them!!!!!

She has also directed me towards new blogs and shops! I am so glad I ran across her blog. I feel like an idiot for not know it before. Check her out, pwease<3
