First, I want to say thanks for supporting DTSYF. We are still looking for people to submit videos or mashups.

Second, I wanna say that we are planning the next Think Tank in Chicago and it is tentatively set for the middle of October. Details should be coming soon.

Finally, yes to your reply about Abby’s video. Abby got comments on her video that were similar to Kristin’s, and she has submitted another version of this video to The Fat Experience Project without that part.

Kristin I really do get it. Some of my best friends are skinny blonde chicks. Really they are – I live in NYC and I have friends who are fashion models and it tics me off when I read insulting comments based on someone being thin.

But I also think that with a lifetime of being put down by her own family, as she states in the video, Abby might be working out some issues. Her personal path to accepting and loving her body might include some stone throwing. I’d like to not throw stones back at her if you please, and give the girl some room to breathe.

I don’t know if any one person can say what the point of Fat Acceptance (FA) is, or is not. It’s not like we are given a handbook at birth on loving ourselves. I would like to think that with COFRA and the people who blog about this subject, we might, as a nation, come to find beauty in a diversity of shapes and sizes.

You can come over for lamb too, if you want, and we can discuss this over a lovely bottle of Spanish wine that I brought back from my recent trip to Barcelona.

And I’m totally coming over for lamb. Mmm, lamb.
