Thanks for the mention of my blog post about the extraordinary photographic self-portraits done by wooferstl (not "woofers.") Usually I read more carefully than this! Thanks for your continuing coverage of fat people in the arts, as well.

Lori, thanks: added it to the post. I should have known you were the person who brought it to my attention.

Dolia, also (very embarrassed) thanks. It’s fixed.

Zaftige, yes. Just so.

Oh lord, those are great. It’s so, so WONDERFUL to hear actual fat people IN THE PUBLIC EYE (and especially in entertainment) saying everything that we say EVERY DAY in the Fatosphere. That’s the kind of impact I want to make, if I get the chance.

The artist’s name is Beryl Cook, not Cox. See also the work of Martin Leman.

If anyone remembers where Debbie saw the great countering article about the fat female model who is taking on the entire fashion industry, please put the link in the comments.

Did you mean Velvet?
