i'm in los angeles. i'm on my last business trip. a few weeks ago, i totally buried the lead about the fact that i am leaving my job. in 10 days. 10 work days that is. i guess i've been trying not to dwell on it too much. i have to keep working, after all. and i'm a classic overachiever, so as much as i'd love to just phone in the last few weeks - i really can't. and honestly, the world i work in is too intense. it would be harder for me to try and slack off than it would be for me to just...

this ad popped up on okcupid. do you think the site is smart enough to know i'm big boned? i appreciate that there are niche sites - BBW, jdate, you name it -- you can narrow down the type of people you want, and people who want you. but the tag? single and fat? thought it was kind of crude.

in februrary, i did a performance of 'the vagina monologues' in buffalo as part of eve ensler's annual campaign, v-day, to raise money for local women's charities. this year there was also a spotlight on the women in the democratic republic of the congo, and all of the challenges they face on a daily basis. the play ended with the phrase: be the change you wish to see in the world for some reason, it's been resonating with me lately. i wish i could close my eyes and wake up one day and be...

people.com snagged the actual creative. what do you think? too racy for tv? not really compared to the vicki secret ads, imho. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20363508,00.html Read Full Story

i know i always appreciate the soft-core porn that is victoria's secret commercials, but apparently lane bryant's chubster commercials were initially rejected by some networks: NEW YORK (Adweek) - Lane Bryant's controversial new lingerie ad, featuring busty, plus-sized models, will finally air on Fox next Wednesday, during the closing minutes of the 9 p.m. edition of " American Idol ." The women's clothing manufacturer had claimed both Fox and ABC objected to the commercial's content. Though... Read Full Story

i found this new plus-sized clothing website called "fashion to figure". i'm finding it to be an interesting alternative to lane bryant, old navy and torrid. they have a great simple website and i've found the prices are VERY reasonable. they're also running some great promotions right now: free shipping on $65 or more orders: 15% off your order: i personally think i'm going to order some new pants and shirts since the warm weather has finally hit buffalo!! AND that yellow sundress is SUPER... Read Full Story

so, abc family is apparently penning a new show about fat camp starring nikki blonksy (hairspray) and hayley hasselhoff. (yes, that hasselhoff.) jezebel had the article here: http://jezebel.com/5499909/four-huge-reasons-to-look-forward-to-a-fat+camp-show and like jezebel said, winnie holzman? my so called life? as long as every single joke isn't about lane bryant, donuts and muffin top - i'm game. .....and i'm also finding out who the casting director is and i am sending them my headshot!

i'm sorry that i haven't posted in a month. i've sat around and thought about a lot of different things i could say. but, most of all, i'm sorry that i don't have anything worthwhile to tell you. i'd love to tell you that my food plan and my exercise plan were going well, but i can't. i can't because i spent the last week on a beach, eating bacon at nearly every meal. i'd love to tell you that i'm in a good mood and the grand plan was on track. but i can't. i can't because i'm definitely not...
