(Not really.)
On Sunday 15 August, Jackie from Fatuosity, Dr Samantha Thomas from Discourse, Bri from Fat Lot of Good, Dr Rick Kausman from If Not Dieting and yours truly were featured in an article in News Ltd’s Sunday Magazine. It gave a great overview of fat acceptance and I was very lucky to be a part of it.
As Sam wrote in her post, even though the article is overwhelmingly female (possibly because Sunday Magazine’s readership is overwhelmingly female), fat acceptance is for men too. In fact, there are a few male bloggers out there in the Fatosphere, including Brian from Red No. 3, Nick from Nicholosophy and Axis of Fat, Ivan from Fat in NYC and Shannon from Atchka! and Fierce, Freethinking Fatties.
Many thanks to Jane Hutchinson and my fabulous Sunday Magazine photo team: James Demitri, Felicia Yong and Hannah Mathew (my photo demonstrates how much fun I had during the shoot).

OMG I LOVE THIS!!!
you are too cute.
Thank you! I don’t know how to smize, so I jumped around instead.
You totally rock!
We are both mad famous now, missy. I propose we start acting like divas.
The guy who owns the cafe next to work recognised me at lunch!
Also: I am a little disturbed by how many closeted HS readers this has outed!
**gasp!** That is an awesome pic of you! Promise me you will frame a copy and put it on your wall to remind you each day that you are that gorgeously, fabulous woman in the luscious dress!!
Great shot, and great article!!!
WAAAAAAH!!! NICELY DONE!!
What a great photo of you too!! Did they give you the raw file?
Not as yet. I’ve asked James (the photographer) to send me a few of the pictures he took, so hopefully I’ll get them soon.
Congratulations on a good article! You looked really great!
Such a fabulous shot! You look glorious.
This is FANTASTIC. Love the dress, love the face more <3
Unlike every Hollywood starlet, you’re totally allowed to get a big head now that you’re famous ’cause it’ll just match the rest of you! WIN.
I allow you to be in my inner circle. We’ll be like Jenna and Sasha from 30 Rock:
You’re GORGEOUS! Oh…it’s been my childhood dream to be on the cover of a well-known magazine. I think it’s great. Congrats, I’m really happy for you!
Thank you! Sadly, I wasn’t on the cover – Miranda Kerr got that honour.
i am fuckinn in love with you!

Sort of – I’m wearing patent leather jazz shoes. Fancy, but still flat and lace-up. Everybody wins!
