Skinny Jeans may cause nerve damage and other wonders from the World Wide Web

Some things I found this week on the web that I really enjoyed. Have a great weekend!

  • Doctors Say Some Skinny Jeans, Thongs and Boots Really Can Cause Damage.
  • Jezebel’s answer to “LOL she’s too fat to be a Judge!”
  • Sewing at any size!

    • JoGeek I wish you could have met my seamstress grandmother! She would have grabbed you right around the middle, said “Oy! So zaftig! You should have many babies!” And then she would have poured you a shot of scotch while spending hours looking at your sewing patterns.

  • Harriet Brown on the insidious damage done by thoughtless, repetitive shaming.

    • Harriet, I love you. I have your book Feed Me!: Writers Dish About Food, Eating, Weight, and Body Image, and as soon as I finish it I will post something about it but I can tell you right now that you are brilliant because you are so full of love and outrage and calm and motherly goodness that every time I read you, I feel like I’ve been hugged. So thank you.

  • My friend Deb on the rocks wrote a book and you didn’t

    • Seriously, Deb is hard core. She takes wrestle naps with Mrs. Wilson next door (you always suspected, didn’t you?) and is pretty much a genius. But I don’t want you to know because she is my precious and I refuse to share. So don’t buy her book called 5 Ways to {blank} Your Blog, which is all about your blog, how to write one, how to get people to read it, how to make purple frogs rain from the skies…ok maybe not that last one. That one is all me.

  • I really really want you to buy this for me ok? And if you do, then I promise to invite you over, pour you a lovely glass of old vine red zinfandel (because white zin is an abomination) in a gorgeous wine glass and we will tell stories and laugh in my organic garden while I make you Coq au Vin. OK? Thanks! You’re the best!

  • Want this. OMG. Yes please.

    • Edited Saturday morning before coffee: OK I just realized I put in the wrong bathing suit link. Whoops! Here is the one I covet! And for $24? Well…come to mama!

      You have excellent taste in cookware. I would give a great deal to get that particular baker. I got my first Le Creuset pan a couple months ago (a lovely soup pot), and it’s my baby.

      I’ll definitely have to look into Deb’s book…but I would want it even more if it really did tell me how to make purple frogs rain from the sky. You really need to stop teasing me like that. Humph.
