Thank you to everyone who came out to the NYC Plus Size Clothing Swap at Katra Lounge on August 22, 2012. I hope that everyone had a blast! It was a lot of hard work, and I want to thank (from the bottom of my heart!) all of the women who worked hard behind the scenes and on the scene to put this thing together! Also, I wanted to talk a little bit about the things I learned at this swap and the things we’ll do differently next time to be sure the event goes as smoothly as possible.

When I shared with you my Instagram photos earlier in the month, I got a great reaction! So, I thought I would share again so that you can see what I’ve been up to. Follow me here! What’s your Instagram name? Have you tried Cinemagram yet? From BlogHer12, to trying on ALL the clothes in my closet to kicking my scale to the curb, to showing you what it’s like to do Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred as a fat chick, to asking you how I should dress for a rooftop summer Friday party … it’s been a busy August!

One of my favorite things about living in NYC is the concept of Summer Fridays. Perhaps I’m a little naive when it comes to other locales, but we never had Summer Fridays in other places I’ve lived, and not every place I’ve worked in the city has had Summer Fridays either. I’m excited for this particular Summer Friday because I’m headed to a party at Le Bain at The Standard. That’s the rooftop bar with a pool that has seem some very naughty action in it, I’m sure, over the years.
I will not be wearing my fatkini into the pool tomorrow due to a strong desire to stay away from other people’s bodily fluids, but I have been thinking hard about what one wears to such a divine honorable pleasure as this one. I’ve rounded up some pieces and looks to inspire myself for tomorrow. I mean … I don’t want to look like I’m trying too hard, but I have to look and feel cool. That means planning is a must.

who am i? petey pab motha … oops @nettaP. southern with a side of city: hush puppies and leather jackets.
i love to talk, first of all. which is why i write the content on this blog. i process the world through words and laughter. my second love is probably technology because it brings laughter and discussion and connection. and my third love is the pursuit of becoming a stronger individual while respecting my strong need for justice.
i'm learning to be myself faithfully and to trust myself with confidence.
i write a lot about being fat and feelings. i also write a lot about food and fitness. and i also write about fashion because it can be hard to clothe yourself appropriately at every hour of your life.
