But let me tell you something. From a performers point of view, it has always protected me. It has allowed me to always play the funny fat girl roles. It has allowed me a buffer when I did stand-up comedy.
Hey! I brought up the comments everyone was too embarrassed to say but they thought them anyway and screamed with laughter when I broke that barrier.
None of this is ideal. It's self depreciating but hey - I did what I did out of a love for the arts, live theatre, comedy etc in a way that allowed me to bring up my fat before others did.
Why? Well I am starting to do little girls birthday parties. Nail parties through my business "You're Gorgeous Darling". For girls between around 8-16. Lots of goodies. Lots of creations. Lots of bright nails and nail art (plus some education thrown in) and I want to wear a tu-tu. If you really know me, you'll get it.
I got the inspiration from an Etsy Seller who makes the most incredible tu-tus for grown women. Given that I'm about to lose a collosal amount of weight in the next year or so, it wouldn't be smart to spend the money she's asking on her devine creations, so I found this online tutorial and I'm off!
You're NEVER tu-tu fat to wear a tu-tu.
Hell, if you're game, do the bloody cleaning in it <---- LOVE this photo!!

Fantastic idea - every girl (of every age) should have a tu-tu
that is just, fantastic! A great idea for the business too! Totally you ;o)
you go babes....... :)
you go girl :)
brilliant business idea and i think you'll look mighty fine in a tutu! as for the self depreciating comments - i hope a time will soon come when they don't even come to mind!
WOOHOOO I would love to see your tutu. xoxoxox
I sooooooo love tutus. If you check out my facebook pics youwill find the most unflattering pic of me in my pj party fairy costume - Can u tell I just went through a major break-up?!?
That's it, next week when Noddie goes back to school I'm making one :)
hehe - I can't wait to see the finished product. I agree though I think as a performer you will have used your weight to your advantage before someone else got in. However I think you are a fabulous performer regardless of what shape or size you are. To me you will always be a star!!
Would love to see your tutu! What a fab idea for the little girls parties... would never have thought of that!
You are an amazing performer, no matter the outer package, but go you - finding your authentic self!

Bloody fantastic! I have been eying of some on Ebay but they were just so expensive. I am hoping my sister can make me one so would love to hear about your sewing experiences.
Love the photos ... I remember when you made that shirt (sitting with Trevor)... I loved it!!
You hit the nail on the head with the whole "first to bring up our weight issue" ... I have to get in before they do too :(
I am soooo looking forward to sharing this with you .... can you flick the switch in my head too please??
