FAT!
She's so FAT!
Look at HOW FAT that one is!
FAT!
One of the biggest prejudices in the world.
IF you have NEVER been FAT
you have NO IDEA what it's like.
You have NO IDEA about how
people sit in judgement of you
and the raised eyebrows and the
snickers behind your back...
that sometimes hit you in the face.
Why am I writing about this today?
Because of something that I came across
on the internet that made me raise my
eyebrows!
Yes! I can STILL raise my eyebrows
no BOTOX for this girl old lady.
Anyway-
I have always loved the colors
and simple fashion created by
Lily Pulitzer.
When I was young and lived in Florida
Lily Pulitzer's influence was everywhere on the
East Side of the Intercoastal in
Palm Beach and she dressed the likes of
Jackie Kennedy.
Lily Pulitzer was a lovely lady..
and gracious from what
I understand.
After her death,
her family decided to make her clothes
AFFORDABLE and market them through
Target.
And- Horror of Horrors-
She is selling
PLUS SIZES!
You can just bet the
Palm Beach Battalion
in up in arms!
Lily CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT
her clothes sold to PLUS SIZE people
~or would she~?
One of her STAFF MEMBERS didn't think so.
She had this posted in her cubicle.
(down at the bottom right it says
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY
JUST KILL YOURSELF)
Do you suppose she was a bully in school?
One of the people that made fun of anyone that
didn't fit her idea of perfect?
SHE DREW THIS ONE , too!
Hmmmm...how many
PLUS SIZE SALES
does it take to keep someone like that
employed and sitting in that cubicle?
Just wondering.
I have been up and down and
everywhere in between
over my lifetime.
Once when I was TEN POUNDS
over the LOW WEIGHT
on a chart a Florida Doctor tried to give me
DIET PILLS
because
"while ten pounds doesn't look bad at 25
it will make you look FAT at 35!
Seriously?
A DOCTOR?!!!
Anyway! I could show HIM what FAT at 35
looked like--but I don't want to go back there!
Now, before you get all riled up, ladies,
just know that I love people
NO MATTER THEIR SIZE.
I don't think someone's weight
defines them.
We are all just on a life journey and we are all
a little different
and I think we are supposed to
love and accept each other just as we are.
It is not our job to take someone else's inventory.
FAT? Actually I kinda love FAT.
because I do love a
FAT BABY!
Yes.I.Do!
And that BABY FAT will be gone
way too soon!
Next time I talk about
FAT I will tell you my
SWEET CHEEKS STORY-
But that's enough
FAT TALK for TODAY!
although
FAT CHANCE ANYONE IS
GONNA SHUT ME UP, HUH?
