Me onstage during Super Art Fight at ConnectiCon 2011. This is my second Art Fight, and I participated in the first ever ROYAL RUMBLE with 12 other artists. Sadly, I only lasted one round. Next time, Gadget, next time.
I’m wearing Lane Bryant. :3

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!
Cardigan: Avenue sz. 18/20
Shirt: Avenue sz. 18/20
Jeans: Merona sz. 22
Shoes: Dansko sz. 42 (US 11)
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.
This OOTD is actually of my sister on her wedding day, which I made her as a birthday present. ^_^
Dress: David’s Bridal
Veil, Bouquet, Hairpins: eBay
Jewelry: Don’t know.
Sandals: Birkenstocks, because my sister is that awesome.
Coming soon: an OOTD of my Maid of Honor dress. :D

Kneepads: Lowe’s (hardware store)

OKAY. This hot look requires BACKSTORY.
So I’ve been working overnights for the last month, since the store I work in is being remodeled and they need extra help and HEY more money because of the shift differential. Last Thursday night I was dicking around on Facebook before work when I see a post by one of my daytime coworkers proclaiming that Fridays henceforth would be Anti-Casual Friday, and we should all don our professional attire instead. I commented that if I had a red tie, I would’ve totally donned it at midnight to join in.
Cut to 10:30 when my shift started, and my other coworker, Mark, brought a tie for me to wear! As well as one for himself, as he’d also seen the exchange on Facebook.
So this is my Anti-Casual Friday OOTD. No, really.
Check out those sexy kneepads.
Outfit from 11.9.2009.

This is one of my favorite shirts, which I wore for a job interview.
Today’s picture is of Mellie, a character from Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. Mellie was played by Miracle Laurie, who as you can see, has a most adorable smile. ^_^
This is the outfit she was wearing during her first appearance, in the second episode of season 1. After freeze-framing it about a million times, I think I got it just right. :D
