To cleanse the palate after the nasty aftertaste that a post regarding “The Biggest Loser” inevitably leaves, I offer up Dawn French, the original Fierce, Freethinking Fatty, in five parts:

I … seriously can’t find words to describe the love. I have SUCH a big girl-crush on Dawn.
Admittedly I am not comfortable with the couple of thin-bashing parts. But I love Dawn’s combination of smartness and sensuality and merriness and that lovely steely, determined PERSONness that comes through in this.
This has completely made my day - thank you.
And I have SUCH a big man-crush on Dawn. She is so awesome.
As far as the thin-bashing, the only thing I can say was that this was made in the 90s before Fat Acceptance became as widespread as it is now, and the connection between fat-bashing and thin-bashing was probably not as broadly considered back then. That’s my theory.
And you’re welcome.
Peace,
Shannon
Sounds like a resonable theory to me!
I absolutely adore Dawn French.
This made my day!!!
Dawn French kicks ass! I admire women like her and Beth Ditto, both fierce, free-thinking, fabulous Fatties! I am sorry to admit that I will not post pictures of myself because there is still a part of me that is ashamed of my size, although I would never condemn any other person for being large. It’s so deeply ingrained that I am triggered if I see my weight on a scale-which is why I avoid scales!
