Ruben Esq's SketchBlog: Short Cuts If you haven't seen his work yet, you are missing some keen BBW erotica to tickle the fancy of that special man, (or woman) in your life. - Unita
------------------------------------------

I've gotten a few comments that I should draw women with short hair. I personally prefer long hair on women. I like seeing it and I like drawing it. I don't have too many drawings of women with short hair. If I do, it's because it fits a specific character, or I couldn't think of an interesting long style to draw.

Are you ready for Mo'Nique's F.A.T. Chance? — Full Figure Plus

I must say that I am looking foward to the debut of the third season of Mo’Nique’s Fat Chance. If you haven’t had a chance to see the winners of the America Votes video contest check them out. These lades will have a chance to be part of the group heading to Paris.

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!

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.

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.

Girls, all y'all need to watch this even the skinny girls (and in some cases, especially the skinny girls!) This woman is right on the money with her analysis of plus-size women. Though, in most cases, I have been a confident plus-size girl, this video makes such good points and it brings to light the mentality that we as plus-size women impose on ourselves. Society and the media are contributors, but we need to take responsibility for our own attitudes about ourselves, the people around us, and the people with whom we choose to socialize.
There are more and more venues available to THICK women and we are a market that is just waiting to be tapped into. I believe it will come soon, because more and more of us are plus-size now than ever before. We still need to be healthy though. It's still detrimental to be very overweight and eating healthy and maintaining some sort of regular activity are key to us plus-size ladies being healthy and being HEALTHY.
