Outfit from 5.28.2011

Dress: Lane Bryant sz. 22/24 (borrowed)
Belt: Lane Bryant, don’t know size (also borrowed)
Sandals: Avenue sz. 11
Fat Necklace: Definatalie

Wore this to my cousin’s wedding last spring.  I didn’t have anything new and exciting to wear, so I borrowed things from my sister.  Luckily we’re similar sizes, though she is a bit shorter than I am.  She’d actually hemmed this dress due to her height, so on me it was more like a minidress!  With the belt, I totally had a Joan Holloway caboose on me.

The bow is there because I made the decorations for my cousin’s car for after the ceremony.  Ribbons and bows EVERYWHERE.

Outfit from 10.28.2011

Dress: Domino Dollhouse sz. 24
Shrug: Pure Energy sz. 2 (Target)/
Tights: Assets sz. 5 (Target)
Boots: Funtasma sz. 11 (eBay)
Necklace:  Thrifted
Wristlet: e.l.f. cosmetics

I love love love the strawberry dress– the only drawback is I cannot wear it by itself!  The neckline is cut a little strangely for my shoulders and the straps wont stay up at all.  But the shrug works well enough until I can take it to my seamstress friend to see what she can make of it. ^_^

Back on the OOTD wagon! o/

I got two new outfits drawn while on my lunch break last night, so I inked them up when I got home.  (I will hopefully color and post the second one tomorrow.)  I tried something new and inked them with a real actual brush and pot of ink, too!  And I only smudged this one in ONE place! ^_^;;

Anyways, my favorite part of this (both the outfit and the drawing) is from the knees down. DOSE LEGWARMERS.

No one will ever take my legwarmers away from me. *clutches them to the chest*

Outfit from April 9, 2011

Dress: Domino Dollhouse sz. 22
Necklace: Paperelle @ Etsy
Sandals: Avenue sz. 11

This dress was almost sold out by the time I ordered it (as my birthday present to myself!) so it’s a size smaller than I would have liked to get.  Hence, it cinches my torso in quite a bit!  I simply couldn’t resist it’s cupcakey wiles.

I’m super excited about my Strawberry Dress!  I can’t wait to draw it.  I’m hoping it will come in time to wear it to a wedding I’m going to the first weekend in October. ^_^

As always, your model is 5’7" and 265 lbs.

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.
