<p><font color="purple"> Yesterday, I had a fat field
trip day. Marilyn and I went to </font><a href="http://www.makingitbigonline.com" target="_blank"><font color="purple">Making It Big</font></a><font color="purple"> because they were
having a sale. Shopping was such a drag for me for so many years
so I am still like a kid in a candy store when it comes to a
store full of cloths which actually fit! I got a couple of pair
of pants, a jumper, a dress and some socks. And then we went
to </font><a href="http://www.peglutz.com" target="_blank"><font color="purple">Peggy
Lutz's</font></a><font color="purple"> show room. Her cloths
are fantastic but a bit more expensive than I can bear. And
this goes back to that stuff I was writing yesterday. There
is a way in which I don't feel as if I'm allowed glamour. And
I sometimes think that when I, or any other fat woman gets all
dolled up, it's a positive thing because we take back that right,
that kind of womanhood. And that butts up against my sense that
make up, high heels, unwieldy dresses are a way of keeping woman
as dolls. So, it's a bit context dependent for me. On her site
there is a section in which Patti, of </font><a href="http://www.tuckandpatti.com" target="_blank"><font color="purple">Tuck
& Patt</font></a><font color="purple">i, models some Diva
wear. Very cool. And then we went to see a performance of fat
dancers, </font><a href="http://www.bigmoves.org" target="_blank"><font color="purple">Big
Moves</font></a><font color="purple">. There were three
companies performing, </font><a href="http://www.kkde.org" target="_blank"><font color="purple">Kendra
Kimbrough</font></a><font color="purple">, </font><a href="http://www.fcbd.com" target="_blank"><font color="purple">Fat
Chance Belly Dance</font></a><font color="purple"> and </font><a href="http://www.bigdance.org" target="_blank"><font color="purple">Big
Dance</font></a><font color="purple">. Big Dance was interesting.
I've seen a lot of modern dance and this had moments of brilliance.
It was challenging to watch fat bodies dance. One dancer was
a really good mover and did a fantastic solo. And I feel like
she could have done more and was, perhaps, under choreographed.
One dancer was not a good mover, not in her body, not committed.
There are often better and worse dancers in any company and
I was mindful of this while being troubled by her lack. We hadn't
eaten dinner, I was starving and it was late so we ate at a
Jack in the Box. I don't eat fast food and now I remember why.
