I used fabric scraps from my mom's sewing projects, held on with a rubber band or some twine. Then I learned to sew my own Barbie clothes - my first outfit was for my younger sister, who was in the hospital for heart surgery. I made a delightfully unique Barbie hospital gown. So haute Barbie.

And Oregonians. Passive-agressiveness is the standard here.

I use Wantable.com for makeup, accessories, and intimates boxes. They run a little expensive, at $36 a month for each box (yeah, I spoil myself). The products are high-quality, full-size and name-brand. I always love what I get! I look forward to my boxes every month.

And he's bare-chested, cradling that 2nd amendment against his rippling muscles.

I asked Mr. CakePie to get me a skinnygirl cherry vodka at the booze store.

Alpaca head looks like it belongs in Donnie Darko's trophy room.

I love your style and philosophy, Katie! +1 facebook and blog follwer

Yes! My mum hides baby Jesus and gets up before everyone else on Christmas so she can sneak him into place. One year, we (the kids) put a plastic velociraptor in the manger late on Christmas Eve. Mum lost her shit and heaped the Catholic guilt upon us.

I go by the customer reviews. I will buy a 1x if it runs true to size or larger, and a 2x if it runs small.

I wish I needed a swimsuit! Gabi's collection makes me want to buy one and find reasons to wear it. Plus, I love that she features the pictures her customers send in. Real women in really cute swimsuits.

So glad that other people had the same reaction I did to those old racist tropes about locs. As soon as I saw Zendaya's red carpet look (beautiful!) I knew that the FP were going to comment on her hair. Especially Giuliana. She is so predictably horrible.

I have a girl-crush on Chastity Garner Valentine and Gabi Gregg. They are my role models for so many reasons! It is uplifting to see my fellow women of size (I am an 18 - 20) wearing beautiful clothes and sharing their beautiful personalities with the world. They have impeccable taste, contagious confidence, and an…

Yes! I love the Sally Hansen no light gel polish. They just came out with new shades. For me, it lasts 2 weeks and stays perfect (I type like an angry woodpecker, so that's a miracle). The best part is that it comes off like regular polish, no nail damage.

In part of her book, Ina May discusses how to stimulate a birthing mom's "button"at the height of contractions.

Leonard Lake and Charles Ng briefly rented a cabin on the property adjacent to my parents. This was in the early 1980s, when Lake was in the thick of his Northern California rape/torture/murder spree.

I was engaged to a man who, after proposing and moving in together and buying furniture etc., told me that my size 12 frame was "too fat to ever love" and locked the food cabinets. I broke it off and I sold the ring because fuck that guy.

All the stars belong to you!

Blind date sez to me on New Year's Eve, "Have you ever eaten human flesh? I have.". I excused myself to take a phone call and left him at the bar.
