First Fat Babe Meetup

I can't believe I'm only just now getting to this! Lame, I know. But, I guess, as I forgot to take pictures myself, I've been a bit lazy about putting up some of the photos from the album on Facebook. Hideously enough, I can't remember the name of our sort of (official?) photographer, but that will be rectified the second I do. (Cameron. That's the photographer's name.)
After the Renegade Craft Fair, my compatriot (who was helping me out with LA's public transit (did I tell you that I took a subway and felt irrationally sophisticated? That happened.)) and I headed over to Grand Park and found that there were people already there.
There was talk of purple leg hair, anger and overalls, glitter, and urban exploring, as well as more serious issues pertaining to fat people (like healthcare, stupid clothing companies, and internalising self hate). Long story short, it was fantastic. Now, there's talk of a beach meetup soon, so if you're interested, be sure to check out the Facebook group. It's private, but if you're game to meet up with a bunch of fat babes, a request to join is no big deal. There's also an official tumblr! Oh, we're all over the internet.
(And I'm basically only including pictures that have me in them, because those other faces aren't mine, and next time I'll remember that I have a camera.)






I'll keep you guys up-to-date on the future meetups I'll be attending, so don't feel bad about having missed this one! I don't think they'll all have these stellar pink tables and chairs, but we can all hope.

Only one photo was taken by me, and that's the Fat Babes in LA banner thing. I made the banner altogether, actually, and am quite proud. I can't claim any of the others, though.

Bit of an Adventure

I'm lame and didn't take my own pictures of the Fat Babe Meetup (sorry!), but I'll post some of the group's pictures eventually. It was as wonderful as you'd think it would be!
I met up with one of the babes, Clare, at Union Station. While it was nice to just have someone show me how to do the whole LA transit thing (I thought I was good at public transit, and now I know that I was a fool), it was really fun to wander the Renegade Craft Fair with her. I do have a few pictures from that, so enjoy!
More about the Fat Babe Meetup soon, guys. For now, enjoy some silly pictures!
(Also, my Marvelous Monday post will be a little bit late, but it will happen. It's all good.)
