The National Eating Disorders Association has teamed up with Spoonfed Art for an online charity auction. There’s already some great stuff up on the site, and the Spoonfed jewelry is truly gorgeous.

I also want to encourage supporting this for reasons obvious and not so obvious. Not all plus people have eating disorders, just as [...]

Clean out your closets for a darned good cause: the wildfire victims come in all shapes and sizes. Whoever said there are no plussies in Orange County both lied and did not take a good look around.

Working Wardrobes, a nonprofit organization out of California, equips those in need of a boost in life with the [...]

Evidently, the “epidemic” (quote marks are used because the math demonstrates that the rate of obesity in the US and the UK doesn’t even come close to qualifying) has prompted the US Department of Health and Human Services to launch a series of anti-obesity ads. My question is, why? I know the reason given: large [...]

For those in the DC area, there’s a Fat Flea Market today.

Here’s an interview with the organizer, Beth:
First, how long has your flea market been going on?
this is the first time we’ve done it.

Where are the donations coming from?

If you’re in the extended alphabet end of bra sizing, you have a new option: Fresh Pair. Sizing goes up to a GG, allowing for a 56″ bust, plus up to 8x for bottoms. The larger choices are straight-up grannyesque, so this is not your stop for that special night, but for those situations [...]

I have to admit I’m a little weirded out by these boots of the near future I found over at FabSugar. Part of me wants to cringe. But the longstanding boot-wearer in me really likes ‘em, just as I’m equally enamored with the Hugo Boss Bootie, despite the likelihood of personal injury given its [...]

Old Navy has been piquing my interest lately. I had a chance to try out their tank tops this summer, and they’ve lasted my abuse well enough that I’m considering adding a few more pieces to my wardrobe.

The release of their winter line doesn’t reveal much new - the usual style fair, maybe a detail [...]

Plussize.about.com has a fab interview with author Michele Weston. She talks about her new book, redefining beauty, and related plussie-positive stuff - like how to take it into the branding market place. It’s a smart move, since going at being plus positive from a business angle is the most effective way to change [...]

Here’s another case where we must band together and say “No!” to the fashion dictators. Sitrrup pants, as reported by Styledash.

And stirrups are still a plus catalog standby. Seriously, have the designers run out of ideas? Is this why they’re pitching the absolute worst of the 80s? At least in the 80s, it was original! [...]

I may have mentioned that I’m running WAY behind on catching up on the plusosphere,  so bear with me. I found this link to the LA Times Obesity Dust Up on Sizenet. Good reading for us all - bookmark it for your lunch break, or maybe after dinner intellectual stimulation.
