Here's my formula.
*"Teggings" = tights/leggings, I don't want to type that out fifteen times.

'statement' teggings -> very toned down everything else. Black or grey tunic, tunics with minor detailing that match the colors or a color of the statement thing are okay, as are accessories that match the same way. Not too much thought,


What's a statement tegging? Especially compared to wild or colourful ones?

I wouldn't care if I'd been married to some guy for 25 years, he still wouldn't be allowed to see me all whiny and red-faced. Workouts are secret. You are brave.

I don't think it's weird, but then maybe I'm weird. I find it really motivating and push myself a lot harder. Plus, being sweaty and red-faced from exercise is hardly the worst someone would see of their spouse.

Speaking of women's fashion in "WTF how is a size 8 a large" category (also known as plus size), I've been thinking of starting another blog, for fashion. Not fatshion, I don't want my entire blog to be a political statement. I just want to share good info, advice, brands, etc for women around my sizes, and talk about fashion, and review handmade clothing.

My main blog right now is about cosmetics, and has 'graffiti' in the title. I want to make the new blog with the same name, except 'grafatty' or 'graffati' or something. It sounds neat when said all together (I'm not posting the name because I don't want people making GBS threads on my blog), but I don't want to offend a bunch of potential readers by having 'fatty,' however spelled, in the name. I prefer 'fat' as a descriptor to 'chubby,' 'curvy' (unless the person is overweight and curvaceous), 'husky,' 'queen-sized,' 'plump,' and all the others, but I know not everyone does.

Please give me your opinions/advice if you have it, ladythread.


There will always be some people who get offended at whatever you say or do, regardless of your intent or what you mean or how hard you try to avoid it. Some people just like getting offended and taking things personally. If you mention the word fat in your new blog, there will likely be some people who are offended by it despite not using it as a slur. If you use the word curvy or plus-size or chubby or husky or anything else, there will probably be some people who get offended by it. There are always going to be people who take things as personal attacks, even if you are saying that you personally prefer the term fat and not going around calling other women fat and therefore bad/ugly/whatever people. These people will probably find reasons to be offended by other things you say about fashion or other advice you give because they are always on alert for things that offend them. You'll probably be a lot happier writing if you stay true to yourself and your own voice and personality and write what you believe and feel rather than trying to avoid the possibility of offending anyone because you'll never manage it. What you do with the tile is up to you, but making a pun on the word fat for a blog where you are going to talk about fashion tips/brands/reviews/etc for people around your size is something most should be able to handle.

People online seriously seem to take offense to everything (tumblr so magnified that) and if you want to make a fashion blog with "fat" in the title then go for it. I think you'll get more support than bad news over it.

I can't believe 10/12 is considered plus size. I used to be a 24, and the other day I bought a pair of size 12 pants after almost crying for joy in the dressing room. I am stoked to be a 12!! And hope to keep going down to maybe an 8. Cannot even believe I see that as a real possibility.

Girl sizes are so weird. Girl clothes in general. So many different materials, different scales of measurement, different specific washing instructions, etc. I do the laundry in my house, so I need to pay attention to that stuff, and still fairly often screw up and shrink or dye something by accident. :(

Even though I am "female", most of this article doesn't apply to me. I like to keep my hair short, so washing it doesn't take as long ad I don't use any special products. I've been tempted to try the "no shampoo" thing, but I'm worried about the horrible greasiness I will have to endure.

I also don't shave anywhere besides under my arms, and I have a giant, fluffy bath sheet and a fluffy robe. On a really cold day, I will use my hair dryer under my towel or stick my hair dryer in my pant legs before putting them on.

I did hate to shower when I was a teenager, but that's because I was a teenager who was never taught proper personal hygiene and I lived in a hoarder house, so...

You all know the dreaded moment when you have to turn off the water and all you want to do is collapse in a ball on the floor, wrapped in your towel. The second you open your shower door/curtain and that first gust of air hits your face, it’s HORRIBLE. Why is this something that females only seem to face? Life just isn’t fair. We get our periods once a drat month, can’t we just leave it at that?

It should be the same as pants sizes but I generally go down a size or two in skirts since they're more forgiving of my ginormous quads.

I take the kitten to the pet store to get her nails trimmed because she is too wiggly. The older one lets me, but I haven't done it in a while because I am a horrible mother. She's been running around the house all day and she sounds like velcro.

Just decided to make product slightly less awesome by doing recording on smaller screen from home rather than going into work because it is snowing and Sunday and gently caress that forever. This would be the 4th Sunday in a row spending half a day in the office. Now I'm just making it the 4th weekend in a row working 15+ hours.

I would be interested in both these blogs actually as I am terrible at being a girl and I've recently decided to try to be better at it. I'm not going to lie, being fat prevented me from putting in effort as I would think 'what's the point' but I'm trying to put effort in both being healthier and looking at myself in a more positive light. /emo
