Hot summer afternoon- exposed luscious flesh, and 1st totally handmade garment

Hello my darling!

I've been neglecting this blog, my apologies. Things are going full-force over at www.fatglamkitchen.com, I've been devoting most of my time to cooking up a storm and sharing it with the world.

Not much is new besides fitting in some thrifting when I can, and getting outside as much as possible. Today is one of the warmest days we've had this year, and I dressed appropriately.

I thought I'd share my outfit today, not only because I love it, but it was wonderfully empowering to go out in public with my midriff exposed. Yes, fatgirls can wear tummy-tops, too. Suck on that, haters.


Also, I'm proud to say I made the skirt myself, from vintage 1950s fabric I scored from an antique shop for $10/a bolt, sewn with a slightly altered vintage pattern. It was the first garment I've made 100% from scratch, while it isn't perfect, I'm very happy with it!



My hat is vintage , which I embellished myself with lots of flowers to cover a hole. Make do and Mend!



Happy Summer, everyone!

Lenora- In PRINT!






My darling bunnies!




I'm so thrilled to share this with you- today I was featured in our local newspaper!






..."I'm saying, have the body you're comfortable having, enjoy it, make the most of it, be passionate and eat great food. Live your life. Who cares if you're not a sample size. My blog is very political in that sense. I'm not just cooking, I'm breaking convention about what good food can be and what fat people are and can be."

Thank you so much to the lovely Victoria Handysides for the wonderful interview!
