Here’s another entry in my list of Fat Idols, Ellen Naomi Cohen, better known as Cass Elliot. I love her face so much. It’s hard to peg down her size, exactly, since most of the photos I could find online are of her in tent-like clothing, but I’d probably peg her at around a 24 or 26, the same size or just a little bit bigger than me. I’m thinking of forsaking my annual spring haircut so my hair will be long enough to dress as her for Halloween this year.

The other reason I love Mama Cass is that we have very similar vocal ranges, which means I can totally sing “Dream a Little Dream” and “Words of Love” really well. :D If I had time, I’d record myself singing karaoke to share it.

Hopefully I’ll make a color version of her sometime this week. ^_^

My post with one of the pictures from The Athlete totally went viral!  That’s pretty awesome, and I’m really glad that the picture resonated with so many other people. ^_^ Getting reblogged by some of the bigger fat-positive tumblrs probably didn’t hurt, either.

Though I kind of wish I’d said something a little more profound, what with all the reblogs…  Oh well!

I’ve been quite busy working on Alex’s Guide, as well as starting concepts for a potential new longform comic based on the stories I made when I was an early teenager.  More fatshion art will come when I’ve had opportunity to put together and wear some more fabulous outfits… :D

If you’re in the Columbus area this weekend, I’ll be in the Artist Alley at Ohayocon, Ohio’s largest anime convention!

Athletic Body Diversity Reference for Artists.

Athletic Body Diversity Reference for Artists.

The amazing Nina “Space Coyote” Matsumoto shares some photos of Olympic-caliber athletes and the diversity of their bodies, in hopes that her fellow artists will step up and stop using the same body types for their athletic characters.

My favorite picture is this one, which includes female weightlifters Tara Nott and Cheryl Haworth, who couldn’t look more different from each other, right next to one another.

tropigalia my dear, this is what the LimeCrime lipstick looks like on me.  I don’t know how I like it just yet.  The colour’s beautiful but I can’t mush my lips together or it’ll muss it up :(

OMG, I JUST bought that tank top yesterday! (And got it on clearance!)  I love it.
