OMG! I’m beyond excited to share this post with you. It’s part fat fashion, part fabulous femmes, and part giveaway for TWO of you! Yay! But I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. So almost a year ago, I was contacted by Rachelle Abellar, who is AMAZING! Not only has she written an amazing self-care zine but she also founded Pacific Northwest Fatitude. She’s an intersectional feminist of color and I absolutely adore her. So when she contacted me to be a part of her upcoming project featuring fatshion bloggers, I knew the only answer could be YES YES YES! Then something even more amazing happened. I found out that my dear Ilse from Full Figured Potential was contacted to be a part of it too! Naturally, we got together to shoot photos for Rachelle. It was a super fun day and the photos came out beautiful. You can see some of the ones Ilse shot of me in this post and some of the ones I shot of her in her blog post about the book here. We shot these actually right before I modeled for these photos for Aurora Lady. So it was a double photo shoot day for me! But back to the book The Little Book of Big Babes is an amazing compilation of beautiful fat babes showing off their amazing style. I couldn’t be more proud to be included in this anthology among so many other amazing babes, including people like Ilse that I hold near and dear to my heart, people I have followed online for years, and new folks that are inspiring me with their fat bodies and their rad clothes! So this is the first time I’ve worn this outfit. I have sheer and lace shirts that I always feel too self-conscious to wear. Shooting with Ilse meant a very safe space of queer femmes in her back patio. I also knew I wanted to wear something that showcased my body type because this book is all about being a fat babe. I just had to! And amazingly, wearing this helped me gain a bit more confidence when it comes to wearing things out of my comfort zone. Because fuck flattering, right?
