About Fatshionista! Print E-mail
Written by Lesley   
Wednesday, 03 October 2007
In December of 2004, Fatshionista was founded by Amanda Piasecki as a community on LiveJournal , with this mandate: "Welcome, fatshionistas! Here we will discuss the ins and outs of fat fashions, seriously and stupidly -- but above all -- standing tall, and with panache. We fatshionistas are self-accepting despite The Man's Saipan-made boot at our chubby, elegant throats. We are silly, and serious, and want shit to fit." 

Functioning as a broadly inclusive (and occasionally contentious) space for discussing the intersections of fat politics and fat fashions, Fatshionista's LiveJournal community has since grown to include over 2500 members.  Fatshionista.com is intended as an extension of that community, meant to recapture the best of the LiveJournal content by presenting smart writing on fat and by engaging a broader web-based community of Fatshionistas to educate themselves, deconstruct cultural assumptions, and demand  respect for their choices and their bodies, as well as fabulous clothing that is well-made, well-fitted, and widely accessible.  Fatshionistas are fat, and loud, and not sorry. 

This site is beginning with the launch of the GroupBlog (which you are reading now), which has some amazing contributors signed on already, but there are Big Plans in the works for many more fat fashion tools and resources as time goes on.

As always, we represent a prickly, political, diverse, fat-positive, anti-racist, disabled-friendly, trans-inclusive, queer-flavored, non-gender-specific community, open to everyone.

Welcome to Fatshionista.com!
