Plus-Sized Pin Up

Here's the skinny (heehee):

I love music.  Great Big Sea will always be my constant.  Even though I've listened to them tons, they still make me want to sing at the top of my lungs.  My favorite word is "Heebie-jeebies," and I find myself randomly quoting Jay, "snoochie-boochies" and Monty Python, "It IS the rabbit!"  I will never become a Kindle user -- something about breaking the spine of a book for the first time, smelling the print, and reading during a bubble bath.  My video games gives me an outlet for geekiness.  Batman will be my ultimate superhero, but Remy LeBeau will have my heart.  Things I like include: reading graphic novels, drawing and doodling all over class notes, anime, high heels and ridiculous platform heels, girly skulls, black and hot pink, rockabilly, drinking breves, pin ups, Betty Page, soft blankets, and cold sheets when I first get into bed.

I am annoyed when people walk into class late, women wearing incorrect bra sizes, pushy "wrong number" calls, shorthand internet slang (especially when it finds its way into polite society), the banned book list, gristle, and burnt coffee.


Pin Up ♥:
The sad thing about love for pin ups is knowing that I will never be like Betty Page or Dita von Tesse.  However, they have stood as an awesome example of femininity and sexual power.  Taking a look around will show tattoos and images of them everywhere.  Interestingly enough, pin up tattoos appear to be common on women.  Case in point, I have a pin up Batgirl covering my right shoulder blade.  Looking at those beautiful women and watching Rockabilly (HorrorPops for the most part), I felt rather shutdown.  Being my size, it is hard to find dresses that will fit and patterns that go large enough.  But, you know what, I have the desired hourglass figure so desired on pin ups.  And I am a plus sized pin up at heart.

I am pierced and tattooed.  I feel that my body is a canvas, and I love having living works of art on my body.  I desperately want a labret piercing, but gum erosion is not worth it.  I have 3 tattoos: Japanese kanji meaning "wolf" on my right forearm, Batgirl cover my right shoulder blade, and the Cheshire Cat on my chest with his famous line "We're All Mad Here."  I don't see my desire for tattoos to be sated any time soon.  My only limitation is the chance that the tattoo could be distorted by my flux in size -- either bigger or smaller. 

I live in Wyoming.  I just received my BA in English with a minor in History.  The lightest I've ever been was before 2000, and I feel as though I am at my heaviest, over 200 lbs.

This is me and my journey.
