Our second meet-up last night was nothing short of queertastic. The Middle East was like a packed can of dapper. Packed as in, I had to escort my friend to the coat shelf so she wouldn’t get trampled. And act as messenger between FFAF and wife who were two feet away from one another.

And oh… the outfits!! So many ties, suit vests, suspenders, sparkly things. We’re already thinking up amazing plans for the next one; so stay tuned, stay cute, and thanks for being you.

So much curly haired cuteness. I can’t even.

Karen on the left is the Phat Ally!

Suit vest? Yes please.

I love this.

My second night with these lovelies… yes! Also. Hellllooo in the background.

Rae on the left is one our fabulous consultant who knows shiz about overalls! 

I look a little crazy eyed. Must have been all the queers…  In the middle is Matt. You may remember him from this. Rhiannon on the left felt a sudden urge to chop off her hair after being there for 10 minutes.

Eyes open or closed, I love these folks. Missy is totally wearing the Coach Tour Dress Modcloth that I was drooling over for months.

cute cute cute cute

Had to take a photo of the outerwear before they left! And those hand sanitizer folks will be really pleased. Isn’t M’s hat fantastic?

I’d like to interrupt my regularly scheduled programming to tell you about my friend Karen’s blog about fat phobia: phatally.blogspot.com. Her thoughts and explorations have raised my consciousness around all the ways in which our society stigmatizes fat. And it’s gotten me thinking more about how important it is for us to celebrate our bodies, rather than degrade them. She even addressed androgyny in this post! I’m her anonymous friend :) Regardless of your size, I think you’d love her blog. To quote her, “Stigmatizing fat hurts every one, regardless of what their body looks like.” 

In honor of Karen’s efforts — and all my readers — I want to shout out a special invitation to all curvy/big/fat/plus sized folks to SUBMIT photos of some fabulous outfits! Can’t wait to see all of your lovely selves.
