Comments on: Mermaid Parade 2008 http://unapologeticallymundane.com/2008/07/08/mermaid-parade-2008/ Entirely Unembarrassed to be Fascinated by the Boring Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:43:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Emily http://unapologeticallymundane.com/2008/07/08/mermaid-parade-2008/#comment-1166 Emily Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:26:36 +0000 http://unapologeticallymundane.com/?p=54#comment-1166 Yeah, fat is still the one thing that it's socially acceptable to be prejudiced against. But no, I'm not really into joining the fat acceptance movement. I'm too busy vacillating between shaking my fist at the heavens and shouting, "Why, God? Why do I have to have bad genes and PCOS?" and enjoying a Mediterranean pizza and Frank & Angie's going, "Fuck it. I like food too much to go on the recommended diet for my medical condition." I do yoga, go on walks, and go swimming regularly. I'm stronger and healthier than most people I know. That's good enough for me. If there's an extra-thick layer of fat over my muscles, who cares? Life's a lot more fun when you're not trying to meet the expectations/standards of men and mainstream society. Yeah, my fat acceptance is largely rooted in misandrony. I don't think that goes over too well with the fat acceptance movement. Yeah, fat is still the one thing that it’s socially acceptable to be prejudiced against.

You don't cry on the inside. You laugh. Laugh because you know you're better than all them bitches. Upon further inspection of those pictures, though, I've come to realize that the most hideous ones, to me, are not the fatties (although, seriously ladies, have some self respect), but the almost-skinny girls with the pasties on their nasty, oddly-shaped breasts. And come on, what mermaid has a 'fro? Sheesh. Oh, you’re not fooling anyone. You don’t cry on the inside. You laugh. Laugh because you know you’re better than all them bitches.

Tracey has been really interested in them lately and is trying to turn me on to them, but I already accept my fat so much that I worry reading them might send me over the edge toward gaining 200 pounds. It'd sure be an interesting world if fat was fine, though. Do you ever read any fat acceptance blogs?

The make-up freaks me out a bit, but her midsection is actually really cute. Kamran's been all into working out lately, and I keep swearing I'll leave him if he loses his little love handles. I only make fun because I'm crying inside. Or something like that. I totally didn’t mean it about her. The make-up freaks me out a bit, but her midsection is actually really cute.

Totally undeserving of your criticisms. So what if she has a little tiny spare tire sort of kind of peeking out at the hips there? She's in better shape than I've been since, like, my senior year of high school. Granted, I wouldn't ponce about in a polka-dotted bra and black ruffle skirt, but still...cut her some slack. The others, though? Totally deserving. Seriously, that first girl? Totally undeserving of your criticisms. So what if she has a little tiny spare tire sort of kind of peeking out at the hips there?

I'm so pumped for the Tracey & Jeff entries for just that reason. Though we will obviously be the only people who get it. Ahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I can see it now–you realize that plane tickets to NYC currently cost more than breast implants and instead buy us matching webcams so we can eat hot dogs in front of our computers with each other all cybersex-y-like.

I can't imagine how even more outrageously judgemental I'd be if I were thin, though, 4 realz. I'd probably stop everything I'm doing and devote this entire blog to posting pictures of slightly overweight people.

I need to work on a plan. Because I'm wicked jealous. Jealous of the hot dogs that I can buy in a store here in lil ole Bend, Oregon. But that's just not the same as buying them on CONEY ISLAND.
