Winter's been hosting the Carnival of Bent Attractions this month (some very good reading, people) and it's just been brought to my attention that the fine, fine folks at Alas, a blog, recently put out a call for submissions for the first Big Fat Carnival, which they'll be hosting February.
From Alas, a blog:
The Big Fat Carnival is a carnival for collecting some of the best blog posts regarding fat pride; fat acceptance; critiques of anti-fat bigotry, attitudes and research; celebration of images of fat people; practical difficulties of being fat; fat love (queer and otherwise); feminist views of fat and fat acceptance; the health at every size movement (HAES); and whatever else each edition's editor feels fits into the theme.
So to all you loud, proud, large and in charge creampuffs out there, round up your best fat posts (or write some new ones) and send them on over. Myself, I can't wait! 'Cause where there's a carnival, there are mini-doughnuts.
p.s. I found this fantastic flamenco dancer painting on a site called www.bigbeautifuls.com. I spent some time there, checking out all the other paintings and there is some gorgeous stuff. Special to Katr - if you're on my computer later and bigbeautifuls.com shows up on the history - it's NOT PORN. It's ART. Besides . . . we all know where I'm getting my porn from these days.
