Damn, I wish I could pull off something like that purple Mae West-y number. Or sheer nude lace over a coloured bra! Of course I wouldn’t have dared back when I had the figure.

I think her stuff is GORGEOUS 💃🏾.

I really loved her collection - and a lot of stuff shown on runways is a little more daring than what you would buy off the rack - so, that purple dress? Just line it, and it’s gorgeous and special event-worthy.

Counterpoint: I wear a 24/26 and I think Tim Gunn should shut the fuck up about what fat women want to wear, because we are not a goddamned monolith.

Counterpoint, part two: I am 43 years old and I love almost everything Tipton makes. I want to wear pretty much allll of her clothes.

“When I was 12, my feet were so small I wore my sisters’ glitter shoes. My dad would whoop me: ‘You’re not going to school now, you’ll embarrass us!’”

Christian Sirano had several plus-size models on his runway show

This -in tandem with Tim Gunn’s recent critique of the industry’s disdain for plus-size clothing (which is, ultimately, a disdain for plus-size women)- is giving me hope for accessibility in fashion.

Goddammit.

It’s Countess Crackerjacks!

Yes! Definitely incorporating that into my vocab. My friends and I coined a related term “D2G.” In this case, you’re aware and acknowledge the guy is a total piece of shit, but you sleep with him anyway because that dick too good.

“dickmatized”

I live 15 minutes from the Colonel’s 2nd home Shelbyville Ky. As a child i can remember Mr.Sanders in his suit and white convertible going through town everyone knew him and he was the kindest gentleman you could ever meet. They bought a old mansion and built a restaurant (Named after his wife Claudia Sanders.)

To avoid all the click bait
