Lizzo's Detox

12/15/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
There's been a lot of talk in the last 24+ hours about Lizzo's IG stories showing off the 10-day detox she did. 
 First and foremost, The Fat Girl Show believes in body autonomy. 
Secondly, as a marginalized community, fat people should never intend to bring someone else down. To that end, to ensure no one is being torn down, The Fat Girl Show is sharing some of the many incredible voices speaking up regarding the situation. We encourage you to check out Saucyé West, Stephanie Yeboah, and Tiffriah Grande. 
Thirdly, while a variety of points are being made regarding the inherent politics put upon celebrities, as well as the difference between body positivity, body neutrality, and fat liberation, a discussion that has yet to be reflected upon is the social media aspect of this all.

Julie Murphy pens Plus Size Cinderella: 'If The Shoe Fits'

10/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Fresh off the release of Faith: Taking Flight, an origin story about the plus size super-hero, author Julie Murphy is reimagining Cinderella for Disney's Meant To Be, a publishing line aimed at adult readers.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, If The Shoe Fits "is the launch title for the new Meant to Be banner, intended to feature updated and contemporary takes on classic Disney princesses, and also the first Disney intellectual property to be developed as an adult publishing project." 

From #1 New York Times best-selling author Julie Murphy [Dumplin’, as well as Faith: Taking Flight, the prose adaptation of Valiant Entertainment’s popular comic book character] comes the first in a brand-new adult series inspired by the classic fairy tale stories we all know and love, perfect for adult readers who crave contemporary, escapist rom-coms.
“After having just graduated with a degree in shoe design, and trying to get her feet on the ground, Cindy is working for her stepmother, who happens to be the executive producer of America’s favorite reality show, Before Midnight. When a spot on the show needs filling ASAP, Cindy volunteers, hoping it might help jump-start her fashion career, or at least give her something to do while her peers land jobs in the world of high fashion.
“Turns out being the only plus size woman on a reality dating competition makes a splash, and soon Cindy becomes a body positivity icon for women everywhere. What she doesn't expect? That she may just find inspiration — and love — in the process. Ultimately, Cindy learns that if the shoe doesn't fit, maybe it's time to design your own.”
If The Shoe Fits will be released Aug. 3, 2021.

Thick Thighs Save Lives

9/25/2020

0 Comments

 
A new study from The Times UK announced this week that thicker thighs and wider hips might actually lead to a longer life. This news, although not expanded on, comes after years of news and media shaming plus size bodies. In fact, up until this article came out there were countless studies claiming the opposite - that thick anything and wider whatevers would actually shorten a life span. 


Picture

"Researchers suggested that thigh and hip circumferences were 'inversely associated with mortality risk'. Each 10cm increase in hip circumference was associated with a 10 per cent lower risk of all-cause mortality, and each 5cm increase in thigh circumference was linked to an 18 per cent lower risk."
Perhaps instead of frivolous studies based on nothing and irrelevant to everyone, these news sources could report on actual news and stop commenting on what's right or wrong with our bodies.
