The Fat Positive Lounge

[Soft*Silver]

jen sent me a lovely card, with a photo of a naked BBW on it. Its so tastefully done and I adore the photo, so I hung it on the wall next to my desk as art.

It is also the area I spend time with consigners. Some are notably uncomfortable and do all they can to avert their eyes. Some smile as they notice it. Others dont make any facial gestures and thankfully, none have gone screaming from the room. (do any of you remember the article on "what not to do when you meet a lesbian? That last phrase was taken from there..lol)

I plan on getting more art. Clothes and naked. I am discovering that there is a puzzle of responses I get from this photo and I want to offer my customers and visitors ample opportunity to respond to all kinds of shapes. I think we are so bombarded with thinness, we cant see fat as just another shape. We see it in judgemental terms. Bad. Ugly. Distorted. Lazy. And we of size, know these arent true.

Do you have postcards, posters, greeting cards, etc of Positive Women? (the plus sign + means positive, right?) Can you send me some more? PM me for my address if you can...
