THIS FAT OLD LADY’S ALL ABOUT ME MONDAY – GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT

I used to read self-help books. I’ve read some very useful ones too. I particularly like Shakti Gawain’s Living in the Light, where I learned that reality is what you make of it; or it’s all about your own perspective. And there’s another one, that I can’t remember the title or author, but what I…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINES

Here’s the deal. We are frequently told how fat people are at risk for high blood pressure. Okay. So it behooves us to have it checked now and again. Righty-o. Want an accurate reading – use an old-fashioned sphygmomanometer. That’s that thing that used to hang on every doctor’s wall, and they’d put it on…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S TBT – SHE WORKS HARD FOR A LIVING

My first job-job was at a fat lady clothing store called Nancy’s Place. I say, my first “job-job” because before that I had made some TV commercials for Nancy’s Place, but I was paid in clothing, not $$$.  Which was fine with me, because I wanted clothes more than I wanted $$$. When Nancy’s Place…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S WTF WEDNESDAY – FLU SHOT TIME

Kaiser strikes again. It’s that time of year, folks. Time to roll up your sleeves and confess whether or not you are allergic to eggs and get your flu shot. So I’m at my HMO (Kaiser) for an appointment, and there’s a line for the flu shot, but I figure, “what the hell”. I know…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S THEATER TUESDAY – OKLAHOMA, OH MY

I was in a production of Oklahoma in Burbank, California. I had agreed to be in the ensemble because they needed someone to sing the high soprano parts. I had not auditioned for the show because I had just done three shows end-to-end and I wanted/needed a break. I agreed to sing the part. I…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S ALL ABOUT ME MONDAY – BROADCHURCH

Anyone else watch Broadchurch? I just finished it, and holy crap, I love this show. Yes, it is depressing and dark AF, but the writing and the acting is so wonderful. And the scenery is spectacular. It’s a show about regular people put into horrific circumstances, and it’s all heartbreakingly believable. And the actors actually…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – CURVYCON

Has anyone heard of theCurvyCon before? I sure hadn’t, until I was working on the NAAFA Newsletter Roundup – and it was mentioned in an article talking about NY Fashion Week. I was intrigued. I visited their website. theCurvyCon.com theCurvyCon takes place the same week as NY Fashion Week and provides a safe place for…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S TBT – THE GAMES I LOVE TO PLAY

One thing many people in Michigan grow up doing is playing games – in particular card games. Maybe it’s the long cold winters that has instilled this love of sitting down with a deck of cards. That’s as good of an excuse as any, I suppose. Fuck if I know. My Grandma taught me Canasta,…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S WTF WEDNESDAY – WTF WORLD

This is a very sad WTF Wednesday. I am asking WTF world?  How could you, world? A dear friend of mine (and some of you) died yesterday in a solo auto accident.  The authorities say she was killed instantly. Linda Dodson is no longer with us. The Hot Cross Nuns no longer have our beloved…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S THEATER TUESDAY – LEAVING OUR MARK

Our high school (John Glenn HS) put on a variety show (Kaleidoscope) in the Spring of each year. I participated every year; sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much. And, of course, my senior year, I was very involved. Our school benefitted from a school board that was very pro-theater and music; so this year,…
