I ran that 5k that I was talking about. Here I am, at the finish line, with Claire, my amazing trainer that helped me get up the guts and stamina to do it.  Fun Fact: would do again. will do it again, actually, in May, with classmates.  Some of my goals for 2013 have been fearlessness. I’m not afraid of a 5k anymore, and one day I’ll show a 10k that I’m not afraid of it either. I’m also not afraid of looking like a tie-dyed mess in front of thousands of people and putting pictures of it on the internet.

coat: French Connection from 5ish years ago HUE polka dot tights: gift from mom glasses: c/o Classic Specs flats: Urban Outfitters OCC lip tar backpack: Urban Outfitters (uh, turns out le new roommate has the exact same one so that’s already proven to be an issue) dress and cardigan, not pictured: Urban Outfitters and American Apparel Whoah, this was one of those weird/rare not-wearing-vintage-anything days. Feels kinda like being naked in public, though, I’m pretty proud to have my tights match the gum-speckled subway platform. A happy accident. I wore this outfit pretty much all weekend via finding the most perfect (cheap cotton summer) dress on Friday, adding tights, and not taking it off. I leave for Austin in less than a week so my wardrobe choices have been questionably anticipatory. Can’t wait to pack warmer weather clothes and throw my camera in my bag. Austin is truly Babe City USA. Over the weekend I saw The Ruby Suns, and at SXSW some great artists I’m working with are playing: The Virgins, Bad Cop, Local Natives, Pissed Jeans, a buncha the Daptone crew, and so many mooooore. On a semi work related note, I started this blog for cool secret job and roommate listings mostly. Follow it!

I wasn’t really planning to take outfit photos today, just like, eat some fried chicken and be the fifth wheel meandering around Bushwick with my roommates and their sweethearts. It was cold so I wore a lot of stuff - isn’t winter fucking boring? I need belly shirt and bike season.

At least I got to do some yoga next to this pile of garbage! 3 weeks ‘til Austin.

I’ve been asked by people on different ends of the fat lover spectrum about advice being a good ally. From the “My lover doesn’t see how beautiful she is and won’t have sex with the lights on,” to the “My lover uses the term fat to describe themself but I’ve always thought of that as a derogatory word… isn’t it?” For FAT SEX WEEK I’ve highlighted some of the best ways to be a good ally to your fat lover. This is all from my limited perspective, you should obviously be in good communication with your lover to find out what works for them and how they operate in the world. Communication is an essential sex toy! This advice applies to folks of all sizes, not just thinner folks partnered (in all the myriad ways one can partner) with fat folks. And a lot of it is good advice for sex in general, regardless of whether or not your partner is fat.

“It’s time for a girl to infiltrate the boys world of rock n’ roll and grab it by the balls.” words to live by from Sallie Ford (via distillerpromo), one of the greatest broads of all time. Note: this record (Untamed Beast, out on Partisan) is also in the running to be my absolute favorite of 2013, and it’s only February.

shape of: a hug. form of: a thought.

I’m training for my first 5k and duh it’s hard. Not just because omg-running, but also because it’s a new chapter in the book of My Relationship with My Body. It’s weird, sometimes it’s sore, sometimes it feels empowering and awesome, but overall there’s just a lot of feelings all over the place.

Reframing has been a major part of my road to happiness. It doesn’t matter if I’m slow. I got up on Monday morning and ran a mile by 7:15 AM, and that’s amazing.  When I first saw this picture, I saw it as, “oh god, I look like such a dork, that’ll never go on Broadist!” But here it is. Reframed, I see a big smile and the rush of friends, doggies running in the woods, and endorphins. I also saw a picture of my dad taken the same day, 400+ miles away, making the same face, wearing basically the same colors/outfit. 

You don’t have to take things as they are. It might be momentarily uncomfortable, but feel around in the darkness of your insides and find a slightly more accepting way of looking at what’s around you. Maybe I’ll think of it as a hug-shaped frame. It might be cheesy, but so are nachos and I fucking love those.

I forgot it’s almost fashion week. Erin came to town and Nicolette invited me to this blogger thing and Nadia was there, without heels for the very first time in her young life. I drank a lot of fancy things and went to a bunch of shows (concerts, not fashion). It was good. So, here are some pictures of our joyous embraces. Wish I got one with Erin. NEXT TIME.
