Yeah, I honestly find them super bleh. I know that, as a fashionable fat gal and leader of an org for fat women, I’m supposed to worship anything fashion-forward that happens in plus-sizes, but I can’t.

I have some nice side-tie brown trunks and a black and brown bikini top from Love Your Peaches and it’s a fab,

Come now. Their breasts are totally covered.

Why do I think the headpieces et al weren’t Bobby’s idea?

Have you read Alice Walker’s book about the making of The Color Purple? It’s called The Same River Twice. She talks a lot about Out of Africa, with its themes of colonialism, taking all the awards. I’ve never been able to sit down and watch it, either.

And you know what? In this last year I realized that, yes, I owe them gratitude for my life and respect for their struggles and
