Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture

I'm glad I ordered the book Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture by Amy Farrell yesterday. I've been putting off buying it for a few weeks but my husband told me to just go ahead and put the order in for that, and a few other books.

She did an interview with Steve Colbert a few weeks ago:


Sure, he didn't give her much chance to talk, especially about the book itself, but at least her name and the book got out there to the general public.

And now this morning I log in and see there's a thread on the Big Fat Blog about it, too.

I'm glad the regular television season is over - I have way too many good books stacking up that need to be read!

I Miss Richard Simmons

 The voice, the hair, the outfits, that laugh - I miss every single thing about that glitzy, ditsy, outrageous person. Oh, yes, his workouts...
