Fatshion February- outfits so far!

Hello bunnies!

So, this is the 2nd year that folks in the body-acceptance and fat-positive online communities have participated in a lil thing called Fatshion February! To beat the winter blahs, and to get some hot, fat, bodies out in the media- we try to wear our best outfits and document them every day and share them with the world. Mostly, this is taking place on Tumblr, but it can also be seen and tracked on blogger, Flickr, facebook, twitter, etc.

As you all know, I'm already an avid outfit-blogger, so I couldn't resist participating! I have to say, I love the sense of community that is going on right now. Radical self-love and support of each other is so damn fantastic, don't you think? This year there is a big push to see more gender-variance, people of color, and differently-abled folks as well! I love the diversity going on!

Here are some of my outfits so far this month

As you can see, one day I was dressed up as a cigarette girl- that was for a fundraising night at the bar for River of Pride. I passed out free candy, condoms and pride flag stickers!

You can see more of my outfits over on my Flickr page and as always, follow my daily musings on Tumblr and Twitter.

Are any of your participating in Fatshion February?

A furry lil hello as we creep into 2012

Hello my lil bunnies!

The holidays are winding down in the Nick and Lenora household. The Christmas tree and decorations have been packed away, our gifts have all been tucked away in their new homes, and we are preparing to ring in new year with close friends chez nous.

Christmas was wonderful. I was spoiled, and I am grateful for not only the material things I received, but the time I was able to spend with family and friends.

The weather in New Brunswick has been very odd and non-typical of the season. By now, we are usually buried by snow- but looking outside, not a single flake remains from our Christmas Day snow shower. No snow, a balmy 8 degrees one day, and minus 18 the next. Mother Nature is undoubtedly pissed at someone!

Today is one of those bitterly cold days- and I bundled up accordingly.

One of the very few reasons I look forward to winter is that I can break out my vintage fur.

Now, don't get me started on *new* fur- I am very much against it. However , being that I am the second, third or possibly even fourth owner of my fur, I feel ethically appeased. I also feel I am honoring the animal many decades past it's natural lifespan, anyway. So, PETA, you can kiss my fat ass.

Today I wore my beloved 1940s color block dress, with a 1950s mink ( or fox, I'm not sure!) fur stole, complete with head and legs and feet. I pinned on one of my favorite late 40s felt hats, pulled on some 50s brown gloves, and off I went.

As usual my entire outfit was purchased from antique shops, thrift shops, and flea markets and estate sales. That particular brown felted hat was part of a lot I scored from an estate sale last month.

Well bunnies, I must run, I have a hot date with an old friend who is only in town for a brief time! I wish you all a very happy New Year- may 2012 bring you all much love, adventure, beauty and more!
