I LOVE Beth Ditto. Seriously. Love.her.hard. The frontwoman of The Gossip has an amazing voice and punk rock attitude. And she's fat. And fierce. She's become an unabashed face of fashion for women of abundance, showing up front row at fashion shows and having straight size designers jump at the chance to fit her in something. ...

Ephiphany: Martinis

June 30, 2009

Dirty Martini

Even before I started trying to become Skinny Emmie, I gravitated to 2 alcoholic beverages. 1) Beer (Michelob Ultra is my fave) and 2) Dirty Martini's, straight up. I was laying in bed the other night and had an epiphany. I think the reason I like Dirty Martini's is because it's one of the few drinks ...

Hips don’t lie…

But you’re so pretty…

Christian Louboutin Hyper Prive Peep-Toe Pumps

It is quite common for Fat Emmie to love shoes, bags and jewelry. These are things that aren’t quite as hard to shop for when you don’t fit in standard sizes. Problem is that Fat Emmie=fat feet. I have quite large feet anyway, being 5’10. Feet are not immune to getting fat! And extra weight=feet …
