This is me doing my best Lori Beth Denberg impression.

Since Tumblr doesn’t really want to embed the YouTube video in the body of this post, ya’ll should really go watch this clip from All That: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOBKkLiw0hw

Looking back, Lori Beth is a big inspiration to me now that I’ve found fat acceptance.  I was a rabid fan of All That in its glory days, and to make it even better, here was this girl on the show who actually looked like me.  She was on another show on the CW when the CW was still a thing, and also got a small role in Dodgeball as a fat cheerleader.  According to her IMDB page, in recent years she has started to go by L.B. Denberg. I hope to continue seeing her pop up now and then in Hollywood!

I walked into a nearby Avenue last month to find just about the entire store was in Winter Clearance Mode. I got hearts in my eyes.

Sunglasses: Don’t know
Shirt: Avenue sz. 18/20
Shorts: Avenue sz. 20
Sandals: Avenue sz. 11

I bought these shorts on a whim and was surprised at how short they were on me.  Still, body acceptance is about pushing one’s comfort zones, so I wore them several times.  I would look down and see legs as far as the eye could see.  This t-shirt is incredible, and one of my favorites.  It’s actually made of a slightly thicker material than regular t-shirts, so I wear it pretty much year-round.

I’ve actually had this drawn and inked for months, but since the t-shirt has such a detailed design, I didn’t get a chance to sit down with it and make sure I drew it accurately.
