During Roxxie, Kenzie and Melody Nyte's BODacious Magazine shoot they took some off time and went to the Malibu Beach...and the water was COLD.

My husband and I noticed there was a deer in our garden and we were watching eat the leaves from this tree. We wondered what our cat would do if she saw it so we opened the blinds and she jumped up on the window sill. These are just a couple of pictures taken by amused parents of a curious cat.

My BBW Ladies I finally found some awesome black pants that aren't Old Navy(their pants are usually the only ones that fit me right!) At a local store I found they carried Dickies pants in plus sizes! Yes, you read correctly, Dickies! Because I'm a bargain hunter, I didn't buy them immediately after I tried them on(it was so hard not to.) So I went home and looked online to see if I could find them cheaper somewhere else. I had NO success finding them at all. Although, I did find that at dickiesgirl.com they have a whole plus size line coming soon. So I signed up for their mailing list in hopes that they'll come out with it soon!
The pants are low rise stretch and they have one, what they call a welt pocket on the back. There are no pleats in the front and they have straight legs. Of course they're too long for me as all pants are so i'll have to have them altered, but I'm extremely happy with my purchase and I wanted to share this wit y'all. Unfortunately, I was unable to find these anywhere online so I'm not sure how the local store found them, but be patient and hopefully they'll come to a store near you soon or at least come to the website soon!

I was saddened by the results of the voting on American Idol on Thursday night. I still can't believe it. To me, talent wise, she is one of the most memorable performers on the show. I definately know we have not seen the last of her! I mean, if Elliot Yamin can make it, Melinda Doolittle can. I must say I really think that the wardrobe they had her in the last few weeks was absolutely hideous and wouldn't doubt that might have factored in to people's voting. But who knows. I can't wait till her CD comes out. And now she doesn't have to wait until her contract is up with Idol to sign a real contract!

He knows that he is an unlikely champion for the size-acceptance movement; body image is a topic he never really thought about before. But for the last eight years, Mr. Nimoy, who is 76 and an established photographer, has been snapping pictures of plus-size women in all their naked glory.

He has a show of photographs of obese women on view at the R. Michelson Galleries in Northampton, Mass., through June; a larger show at the gallery is scheduled to coincide with the November publication of his book on the subject, “The Full Body Project,” from Five Ties Publishing. The Louis Stern Fine Arts gallery in Los Angeles and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston have acquired a few images from the project. A few hang at the Bonni Benrubi Gallery in New York. (Their explicitness prevents the images from being reprinted here.)

These women are not hiding beneath muumuus or waving from the bottom of the Grand Canyon à la Carnie Wilson in early Wilson Phillips videos. They are fleshy and proud, celebrating their girth, reveling in it. It is, Mr. Nimoy says, a direct response to the pressure women face to conform to a Size 2.

“The average American woman, according to articles I’ve read, weighs 25 percent more than the models who are showing the clothes they are being sold,” Mr. Nimoy said. “So, most women will not be able to look like those models. But they’re being presented with clothes, cosmetics, surgery, diet pills, diet programs, therapy, with the idea that they can aspire to look like those people. It’s a big, big industry. Billions of dollars. And the cruelest part of it is that these women are being told, ‘You don’t look right.’ ”

Mr. Nimoy, who divides his time among homes in New York and Los Angeles and on Lake Tahoe, in California, admits that before he began this project, it had never occurred to him that beauty might be culture driven, that a fat body in Africa is treated quite differently from one in the United States. “In some cultures their weight is a sign of affluence: their husbands can afford to feed them well,” he noted.

I just posted these Lagoon Chandelier Earrings on Etsy. I don't usually make vintage-looking jewelry, but lately I've been trying my hand at it since it seems to be very popular on Etsy.
I'm not sure what I would call my own style, but I guess I just try to make things that are in style or that go with things that are in style, so that my jewelry is more marketable. It's such a dilemma that I experience on an ongoing basis. Does anyone else experience this? On the other hand I also try to make things that are, what I think, very unique. This is also to try to raise marketability. Hence my dilemma. Any comments?

Today I have been tagged by FELTLAND. Just yesturday I was reading someone's blog who'd been tagged and I thought, "Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!" (waving my hand in the air, arm nearly stretched out of its socket). And today I was tagged. I must have mental telepathy over the blogger waves. I should use it to my advantage (((buy my jewelry))) (((buy my jewelry))) (((you are feeling very generous))) (((your money is burning a hole in your pocket))) (((you must have fabulous jewelry now))) okay, I'll stop. But it could work you never know.

Anyway, so I guess I'm supposed to tell seven things about myself that no one knows and then tag seven people. I don't think I even have that many people in my blog roll!

1. I like to listen to Justin Timberlake. So I guess you could call me a "Fan-a-lake" (I just made that up.)
2. I really hate working out. You're supposed to wear tight clothes and well, look my clothes are already tight!
3. I live next to a nursing home but elderly people scare me. I have to sneek off to work before daylight when they put their hearing aids in and peer out their windows to see who's there.
4. I like to break wind when nobody's looking.
5. The idea of S&M and bondage intrigues me but I really don't like pain.
6. I really enjoy picking my nose. (I was tagged so I'm letting it all out, or maybe I did that on #4.)
7. Every morning my husband starts to snore as soon as I get out of bed. I think it's because he doesn't want me to ask him to make me some tea!

So there you have it! Who knows if anyone will read this anyway. I just hope my husband doesn't read it. He doesn't know any of this!

I bought this beautiful watercolor today for my mother from bluedogrose on Etsy. I'm so excited because it just moves me and my mother loves horses. So I hope she loves this painting. I'm not even into horses but I really love this painting! I found it on a beautiful treasury made by cindyg called GREYBLUEGREEN(ISH). She really knows how to pick 'em and her collages are beautiful too! You should check 'em out.

Check out the necklace I made this weekend for my husband. I think it turned out great! A freind of mine asked me to make a necklace for her boyfriend, who doesn't usually wear jewelry, and my husband liked it a lot. So I made him one with similar beads. But since I started making make Vegas Lights series he's wanted me to do a piece of leather in the shape of Africa and since I was making him a necklace now was the time for Africa. So I made it. It has all kinds of cool beads like black marble, soap stone, coconut, bone, sandstone, jade, carnelian(the last three are what the scarabs are.) He loves it and feels proud to wear it!

Recently I decided to ask my co-worker who purchased this necklace if I could take it back to photograph it.
When I made this necklace I didn't have a digital camera yet, or a computer for that matter. It's one I really liked and I'm glad I got a chance to add it to my portfolio. And i'm posting it 'cause I wanted to share it with y'all too. this necklace has all kinds of goodies on it like pearls and vintage crystals, jade and Bali silver spacers. My favorite part is the wire work I did with coral branches around the cinnabar fish. I happy now that I can treasure it forever!

Fat Chic says, "Some wonderful soul on Etsy put together a plus size treasury. It’s for those over a size 16. Etsy designers also recently started a plus team, so I’m looking forward to seeing some good things coming out of there."

If i had to pick a favorite that is currently in the plus size treasury on Etsy I'd have to pick the Fire Lillies Tee.
I like the brown and the placement of the silkscreen seems like it might be flattering.

The assemblage of a plus size street team is very exciting, although I would really love to see the clothes designers on Etsy get serious about plus size clothing. It's definately a market waiting to be tapped into and thickgurlz like to wear more than just t-shirts. i'm not knocking the designers. There's some cute stuff on Etsy. It's just that as a thickgurl I would love to wear some things that are tailored and stylish and not just stretchy.

So after a few days of painstakingly tweaking, redesigning and trying to have some style while adhering to the parameters of blogger, my husband has me back on track with my blog. "Phew!"

On to American Idol. I always have to give props to my fellow thickgurl LaKisha Jones. I must say that this was the first week I really didn't care for the top she was wearing, but I did like the jeans. They've been dressing her in some fly clothes and I looked at the Idol website and they only show you like things and where you can get them, instead of telling you where the actual clothes she wears come from. "Phooey!"

And when Ryan offered her a seat and politely declined well...us thickgurls have all been there before.

I just want to say did you notice that the brown people were the ones who made through rock night. I think people and the contestants had their doubts, but they pulled through. It's not like rock and roll isn't their music. It surely didn't start with Elvis.

Anyway thickgurl props to LaKisha and to my favorite and the very best contestant on American Idol, Melinda Doolittle.
