Thanksgiving by Numbers.

14 - Number of family & friends in attendance.

13 - Times I loaded/unloaded the dishwasher.

5 - Nights we ate some sort of leftovers.

4 - Days of vacation spent at home working my ass off.

2 - Trips to World Market for chocolate and cheap wine.

1 - Attempt by 70-year-old father-in-law to demonstrate the "Moon Walk" which he referred to as the "Mars Walk."

Things we learned:

Parents will still chirp in your lobes about making your bed even if you haven't lived with them in over a decade.

Do NOT get in between dad and ice cream from Glacé unless you want to know what it's like to be run over by a city bus.

You can make pancakes but they'll never be as good as the ones your mum makes.

Cats can and do hold a grudge and will barf out of spite if your visitors fuck up their routine.

Apparently my family does not believe in Thanksgiving dinner without some kind of Jell-O "salad."

Old people typically don't quote from "Anchorman" so threatening to punch an annoying male family member in the ovary may cause your relatives to question your sanity and/or sobriety. Explain nothing, it only makes it worse.

It is safer to wander the streets unarmed and alone during a zombie apocalypse than it is to go ANYWHERE during Black Friday.

And some of you wonder why I call it X-Mess?

Maura and the Big Fat Horror

Do you know Maura Kelly? I didn't until today when my bestie Lisa posted a Jezebel link about her on FB. Maura stepped in a big fat pile of shit with a recent blog she wrote for Marie Claire.

Turns out Maura thinks "fatties" are disgusting. Granted, she later apologized but... not really.

This isn't the first time a chick rag has gone there. Cosmo does it all the time with their absurd diet tips peppered through issue after issue. I cancelled my sub to W magazine years ago when they ran the Nan Kempner story with a pull out of her quote, "I hate fat people."

Later that same week, I cancelled my sub to Elle magazine for a similar reason, although I don't recall now what the specific story was. Seems like it was E. Jean's column...

You know how hard it is for a makeup/accessories/fashion junkie like me to swear off all the mainstream girlie mags? I haven't touched a Glamour in years. And their constant fat bashing is why. I'm not going to give my money to any pub that preaches hate or discrimination. Note to advertisers, you might pick your placements a little more carefully. We're watching you.

There's a light in the dark though. -evil grins-

How about Twitter search results with THOUSANDS of tweets speaking out against Maura Kelly's unabashed size discrimination. Not just size acceptance peeps either. Folks from every walk of life were appalled. Men, women, all ages, all colors, all sizes, from all over the world. The message was clear - fat hate isn't going to be tolerated.

If you're looking for some excellent new people to liven up your Twitter stream, you'll find them. I found several. (Thanks Maura! ~winks~)

Reality check... We still have a long way to go. I saw an article this week about size discrimination in the workplace. But stories revealing the truth about manipulated images in magazines give me hope that fat bashing will cease to be socially acceptable someday.

Maura, I hope you can come to terms with your self-loathing. I know this experience is going to set you back a little but as a journalist, you should have thought it through better. Learn from it. Learn that no one is "disgusting" because of how they look. Learn that you're not "disgusting" because of how you look either.

Actions on the other hand... sometimes actions are disgusting and your 'Mike & Molly' blog was an example of that.

If you ever want to feel better about yourself and the way you look, my advice to you is stop reading magazines like Marie Claire.

Ever wake up five years later and go "what the fork was I thinking?!"

Ever wake up five years later and go "what the fork was I thinking?!"

Answer here

An indication that you've had enough.

You're right. It's all Obama's fault. The economy, the war, illegal immigration, the environment, broken health care system. All him. He writes all the legislation on his own, and he passes it on his own and those 535 people we call "Congress" don't actually do anything except read scripts given to them by Obama. There were no other people in office prior to Obama who made mistakes either. He's the only one who has ever fucked up ever ever.

In fact, he lies awake at night, scheming on ways to destroy our country and take away our guns and make us all slave vegan Muslims.

We the people have zero responsibility in this. None of us have borrowed money we couldn't pay back and spent it on things we didn't need. None of us live beyond our means. We are all highly informed voters who base our decisions on issues instead of blindly following flawed party lines and we show up at the polls for elections on every level and we diligently communicate with our lawmakers both to express our needs and to monitor their actions, demanding ethical conduct. We get our information from trusted neutral sources like the Library of Congress and VoteSmart.org.

We never start frivolous lawsuits after doing stupid shit to ourselves and tie up the courts and waste tax dollars. Not us! We're all fully accountable for our actions and the actions of our children. We would never blame someone else for our own mistakes, indifference or neglect.

We never try to pass or support legislation based on religious bias or our own personal selfish agendas and all of us who are able to work do work and we never defraud the system. We never try to force our personal beliefs on those around us.

We the people are perfect and innocent and that evil man in the White House is completely to blame. Him and him alone. Oh no, we cannot place responsibility on any of our local, state or federal lawmakers or ourselves. We are all merely helpless pawns in Obama's grand plan to ruin the world.

And I would never have come to this liberating realization without all the endless forwarded emails I receive and never ever try to verify because I fully accept them as fact by reasoning that if it's good enough to press the "Fwd" button, the person who sent it clearly did their homework.

If there is a single person reading this blog right now who failed to immediately recognize all of the above as pure and bitter sarcasm, please click that little "X" up in the corner and you'll be promptly redirected to a website perfectly suited for your level of intelligence.

And so help me gawd if I receive this, my own message, in the future as a forwarded email framed to represent researched facts and edited to omit my disclosure, I will see to it that the current sender and all senders before them die in a mysterious fire. The headlines will say "Homo-loving pot-smoking meat-eating baby-killing freedom-hating psychotic fat atheist bitch locks dozens of respected bigots in local church and torches it!"

Wow. I feel a lot better now.

Your Fluff Welcome Here

"Aw, look, poor thing, they won't let her shop. Yeah - like those salesgirls in Beverly Hills aren't bigger whores than she is." ~ Romy White, "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" (1997)

I bet more than just fluffies can relate to this:

You show up to an establishment you've never visited only to discover you're a fish out of water, like a group of Mennonites at a frat boy's bachelor party.

In my experiences, it involved discovering the hard way that a certain biz was either not fat-friendly or straight up fat-intolerant. Not naming names *cough*cough* The Plaza *cough*cough* but I have stumbled across a few such places and it never fails to surprise, disappoint and incense me.

As a gesture of consideration to my chunky brethren and... uhhh... sisteren? (That's not a real term is it? Pfft. Do over! See next sentence.) In support of mah fat peeps and their sizes-other-than-fat family and friends, I would like to give those living in or planning to visit my adopted home town of KCMO a little guidance to the more chub-accessible attractions.

Noms... this city has some good ones. Nice variety too, if you can tolerate the irritating lack of good Cajun food.

Asian food:

Saigon 39

According to some reviews, they serve substandard pho. I like pho but that isn't why I go to Saigon 39. Their chicken fried rice is wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-craving-it good and if you like peanut sauce, theirs is superb (but pricey).

Fat Tolerant: Has tables with metal chairs and booths. Chairs do not have arms and booth tables are not affixed. Crowd is always a mixed bag but not too teen-infested. Restroom is spacious. Staff is polite but don't show up close to closing time because you may have to get it to go.

Minuses: Not really wheelchair accessible and parking can be a bitch during peak hours.

*LGBT Friendly Bonus Points

Asian Tiger

Super yummy traditional and modern sushi, ah-mah-zing pan dishes and one of the best non-bar cocktail menus in town.

Fat Friendly: Has tables with wood chairs and booths. Chairs do have arms but they are wide-set and only partially the length of the seat. Booth tables are not affixed and seats are comfortable. Charming, pleasant usually-quiet atmosphere. Haven't seen a big group of teens dining unsupervised there yet, which is a Buffie-Bonus. Staff is polite and respectful. Wheelchair accessible.

Mexican food:

Pancho's

Simple but satisfying and inexpensive menu. Very casual local chain with 24/7 drive thru windows.

Fat Tolerant: I admit, I almost never dine in at Pancho's because drive-thru rocks and I'm always in a hurry. I view drive-thrus at places that aren't national chains as a nod (intentional or not) to the chunky monkey customer. The location I frequent has fixed-table booths only. I can squeeze into a booth if I can't avoid getting take out but it isn't comfortable. Staff is polite and respectful.

Minuses: The location on Main is not the best place to be for people traveling alone after dark. Have had close-encounters of the potentially intoxicated/violent/generally criminal kind one too many times in that area.

Sol Azteca (now called Sabor Y Sol)

I haven't been since they remodeled but I have it on good authority that it's the same management and menu, which leans Tex-Mex. *giddy* Excellent price/portion ratio and leftovers heat up beautifully for lunch the next day.

*UPDATE*  I've been to Sabor Y Sol a couple times since they re-opened and it's everything Sol Azteca was and more.  They now have made-fresh-when-you-order-it guacamole that will land your ass in rehab.  The interior is much brighter now.  Tables and chairs are still fat-friendly.  Staff is great.  FOOD IS INCREDIBLE and more than reasonably priced.

Fat Friendly: Has tables with metal chairs and booths. Booth tables are not affixed but the spacing can be tight depending on how busy they are. Ladies' room is spacious. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is polite and respectful.

American noms, like burgers and steaks, yo:

Courthouse Exchange

Best freaking burger on earth next to OKC's Belle Isle Brewery Honey Pepper Bacon Burger. Onion rings so incredible they won over notorious hater of onions, Mr. Buffie.

Fat Tolerant: It's down a flight of stairs in the basement of a historic building, so it's totally not wheelchair accessible. Has tables with wood chairs and booths. I think some of the booth tables may be affixed but I don't remember. Crowd is adult but can be lively later in the evening. Ladies' room is spacious. Staff is polite and respectful.

Hereford House

It's a KC staple known for incredible steak. Pricey but if you're craving a /real/ steak, it sooo fits the bill.

Fat Tolerant: I only rate it a "Tolerant" and not a "Friendly" because the staff (usually just the hostesses) can be on the rude teen/mean girl side. Has tables and booths. I think some booths have affixed tables. Crowd is sometimes overly yuppie but that's at every "classy" steak joint, right? Ladies' room is spacious. Wheelchair accessible.

Barbeque, (spelled the right way - with a q) also known as BBQ:

Rosedale Barbeque

This was my first experience with KC BBQ and it was love at first bite. Beef sammichs, ribs, burnt ends (which is a clever but unjust term for delicious chunks of smoked brisket), cole slaw and the most sinful french fries in nom history. Definitely has a "dive joint" vibe but isn't filthy gross or anything like that. Respectable selection of very cold beers.

Fat Friendly: Has tables with metal chairs that generously outnumber the fixed-table booths. Ladies' room is spacious. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is polite and respectful.

BB's Lawnside BBQ

Hybrid restaurant and blues bar that has, of all things, an amazing meatloaf dinner on the menu. Also try the BBQ nachos... yes NACHOS! Bar has both liquor and beer for those who prefer a cocktail instead of a brew with their smoked meats.

Fat Friendly: Family style tables with an assortment of metal chairs. Crowd is varied but never teen heavy. Ladies' room is spacious. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is polite and respectful.

Multifariousness for the multifattieousness...

More noms:

Waldo Pizza

I am generally NOT a fan of pizza but I am coo coo crazy for Waldo Pizza. My fave is a spicy beef and sun dried tomato pizza with honey-wheat crust and extra sauce. The ultimate combination of savory, cheesy, sweet, hot, crusty and chewy. Westport Room special ranch dressing contains crack, I'm pretty sure. Never tried to actually shoot up with it but the idea has crossed my mind. Impressive beer/liquor selection. This ain't your average Chuck E. Cheese folks.

Fat Friendly: Has tables with wood chairs and booths. I'm not 100% sure but I think the booths have fixed-tables. Crowd can attract teens and kids because pizza seems to have that effect but I have never been disturbed to the point of panic. Ladies' room is spacious. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is polite and respectful.

*LGBT Friendly Bonus Points

Movies:

Tivoli Cinemas

Mostly independent films. Some of my favorite movies I've watched here.

Fat Friendly: Theaters are on the 2nd floor but there's an elevator. Smaller size means every seat has a great view. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is wonderfully polite and respectful.

Minuses: Seats are older and on the small side but I'm able to wedge myself into them without much discomfort. Sit in the back if you need to stand up a couple times during the flick so you don't block the view of the people behind you. Decent leg room despite the seat width.

*LGBT Friendly Bonus Points

Bars:

Knucklehead's

If you're from KC and you long for the old Grand Emporium, Knucklehead's is a most suitable substitute and a regular Candye Kane tour stop. Blues, beer, liquor and noms. What else do you need?

Fat Friendly: Totally mixed bag of tables, chairs and booths. Crowd is fun but mature. No fratmosphere. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is polite and respectful.

Missie B's

Gay bar featuring delightful drag shows with unforgettable emcee - Dirty Dorothy.

Fat Friendly: Tables with regular chairs and bar stools. Ladies' room is spacious. Staff is polite and respectful, and in Dorothy's case, family.

*LGBT Friendly Bonus Points - Duh, obviously! LoL

Glamorousness:

Blo Salon Studio

If you think I have awesome hair, and I do (not bragging, just saying) then go to Blo and get some, too!

Fat Friendly: Salon seats have arms but they're wide set. Restroom is spacious. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is polite and respectful when it counts and devilishly hilarious the rest of the time.

*LGBT Friendly Bonus Points

Oasis Tan

Shut up, I know excessive tanning is supposed to be harmful, dangerous, whatever. I know, I know. But I don't overdo it and I cheat with spray tans. Speaking of spray tans, they have VersaSpa, and it's kickass.

Fat Tolerant: Variety of beds feature some larger, more spacious models. There is a weight limit and the staff I've dealt with answered my weight-limit questions professionally and respectfully. VersaSpa booth easily accommodates BBWs and most SSBBWs. Restroom is spacious. Wheelchair accessible. Staff is primarily young women who don't give off that "mean girl" vibe at all. That is a rare find in a tanning salon.

Shopping:

Mary Kay

Skin care and cosmetics that will rock your socks.

You know I had to put MK on my list. Hello! The consultant comes to /you/. Does it get more fat friendly than that!?

Lia Sophia

High quality costume jewelry sold via home parties. Like MK, LS consultants bring the shopping to you. Many of their necklaces are extra-long. Measurements for necklaces and bracelets are listed, eliminating the guesswork when it comes to fit.

And those are a few of my favorite things. By no means is this list complete. I would imagine there are many more fat friendly/tolerant places to haunt in the KC area and as I encounter them, I'll gladly share what I find.

Peace, fluff and equality,

~Buffie

Hi Buff, I'm a big fan of your modeling carreer. Do you wear also sexy cleavage and mini skirt in your daily.

Not really. Only in fat-safe/fat-friendly environments because the average group of people cannot be trusted to act respectfully. It's an unpleasant fact.

I live out loud as much as I can but I also realize there are boundaries I shouldn't push in public because society isn't ready to accept fat pride. We still have some fighting to do on that front.

Why ask why?

Are there any celebrities, actresses, or other such female famous peoplez specifically who you think gaining weight would be an improvement, E.G. improve there looks, make them sexier good for them or make em see the world through a larger girls eyes <;]

No specific person comes to mind; there are some who need a smack upside the head tho. (Spencer Pratt, Kanye, I'm talking to you.)

Not every skinny girl can rock curves... however I have to speak the whole truth and that is, not every zaftig lady can make skinny look good either.

I am never happy to see any celeb pimping sodium-laden over-priced horrors like Nutricrapstem or Jenny Crank. There are better ways to make money than by telling fat people they're hideous then preying on the ones who are unfortunately gullible enough to believe it.

However, it's probably unfair of me to hold a celebrity to a higher standard than the average person... but what the hay, it's fun so I do it anyway. Heeee!!!

Why ask why?

What's the craziest movie you've ever seen? The kind that just make you scratch your head and say WTF?

Probably a David Lynch movie... even though those are pretty tame in the big picture of creepy flicks. This foreign film I watched with my friend Regina was pretty out there. It was about a killer dog. And I think it was French. Baxter... Omg it has a Wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baxter_(film)

Your questions are so much fun, Cat! (((hugs)))

Why ask why?

Buffie, I think your a real sex bomb of the SSBBW and a model to "big" women. Would you like to pose on Playboy or similar?

That's nice of you to say. It's fun. =)

Playboy has some of the most consistently lovely nude glamour photography out there. And true to what people say - the writing is excellent, nice combo of fluff and important stuff. Sort of like a morning news show except for hipsters who like vintage designer clothes and expensive vodka. A little ad heavy but when you hire the best, you have to pay them what they're worth somehow. Straight subscription costs probably wouldn't begin to cover their expenses.

I don't necessarily think I'm the appropriate type of model for Playboy's audience. Obviously they cater to people who are attracted to a thin/barely curvy body.

While I appreciate it personally, I realize I would not be popular among the majority of their readers. I might even get angry emails from people who are offended by simple fatness, and unfortunately I've come across a few.

There are some magazines that have equally kickass photography that feature we of the fluffy variety. So if one of them asked me, I would be flatted and gladly accept. ^_^

Why ask why?

What is your all time favorite photo of yourself and why? If the photo is available online can you direct the world to it?

It's a photo of me when I was like 5 or 6. My grandpa (mum's side) was having professional portraits done. He took mum and me with him.

He lived almost 700 miles away but we would visit him a lot or he would come stay with us for a few weeks at a time. Like all kids, I was his shadow. Followed him everywhere.

So when he was having these portraits taken, I don't think I really knew what was going on, other than grandpa was sitting there by himself and looked like he needed some company. So I crashed his photo session.

The picture is above my fire place but not available on the net. I should probably get it scanned so I'll always have it.

Why ask why?

Do you take it in the ass? If yes, do you like it?

No, if I'm going to take it somewhere, I usually just put it in the trunk of the car and drive it there. Where I live, very few people own either an ass, a mule or an ox, so there aren't a lot of folks here who would take it in the ass, even if it were only a for a short distance. Urban zoning laws and such, you know what I mean.

To answer your second question, no. I do not believe I would like to take it in the ass because I like to get it there faster than that. I don't know the fastest speed for taking it in the ass, but I can't imagine it being quicker than 20 or 30 mph. Taking it in the ass just seems like a really inefficient way to get it there.

Not that I judge people who do take it in the ass. Modes of personal freight transportation are an individual choice and should be respected. Perhaps the Amish take it in the ass because it's not large enough for taking it in the family carriage and also because the Amish do not believe in owning modes of personal freight transportation other than things like asses, mules, horses and maybe oxen too. People like to take it in all sorts of ways. Some like to take it in the bicycle, some like taking it in the city bus.

Hope this makes my stance on taking it in the ass clear.

~winks~

C'mon guys, you all know by now I don't do questions like that. Waaay too personal. I'm cool with being open but that goes beyond my own boundaries. Just FYI for those who aren't aware.

Thanks tho. It was fun having the chance to give a silly answer. I enjoyed that part. :D Was it good for you? (snork!)

Why ask why?

You can have lunch with 3 people in all of human history, who you have lunch with and why?

Oh wow. This is just lunch right? Like I can still have dinner with 3 other people and breakfast with 3 more and then lunch again with 3 new ones?

Three people... does it matter if they're dead? I mean, I don't want to have lunch with dead people. So if let's say if these hypothetically dead people were still alive, k?

Alright, here goes.

Kevyn Aucoin - an amazing make up artist who left this world far too soon. I would want to just be in his presence in hopes I'd soak up a fraction of his talent.

Candye Kane - kickass blues singer and songwriter whose music make you feel like a rockstar yourself. Candye has the gift of good vibes and she shares it freely.

If I can't cheat and make the 3rd person a combination of all the people I love in the world, then I would have to pick... gosh... this is a good question btw... I'd pick... uhm... Ohkay, I know.

Hunter S. Thompson. If I have to explain who that is then you should smack yourself upside the head. He was batshit crazy. His insanity was only outpaced by his brilliance. There has always been something about his dichotomy that resonates with me. Significantly. Not that I'm genius or looney but like him, I'm uncomfortably content being stuck in between.

Why ask why?

What "clique" were you with in school?

In my opinion my friends were the best people on the planet and they still are. So I'd say I was in the "Super Awesome Rocking Clique of Excellent Peeps and Good Times".

People who were in the actual popular cliques were mostly assholes who looked down their noses at my friends and me. But they can eat shit because we totally had a blast together and there was nothing they could do to stop us.

Why ask why?

What is the next big thing that you are looking forward to in your life?

I'm really looking forward to doing more community service. Last year I started volunteering my time on a regular basis and there's something oddly addicting about it.

When you assist someone or contribute to a project where many people benefit, you feel like you've done something significantly valuable with your time.

Don't get me wrong, days spent chilling with the kitty cats, friends and family is time well spent for sure and I wouldn't give that up for anything.

But volunteering is a great way to mix it up a bit. You make new friends, learn things about yourself and gain more social awareness. When you want to support a cause but you don't have money, you can always give time. I highly recommend it.

Awesome question. Thanks for asking! =)

Why ask why?

Why is there such an ugly divide in the US right now?

You mean between political parties? I think it's because people focus too much on the "party" instead of the individual issues. The unwillingness for either party to negotiate or compromise with the other also polarizes us.

People don't take the time to verify what is forwarded to them in emails from their BFFs so they don't even know what the issues really are or how proposed legislation is actually written.

A lot of people also seem too interested in legislating what consenting adults do behind closed doors. This has got to stop.

If a same-gender couple wants to marry, for fuck sake, let them! If a woman gets pregnant and doesn't want to have the baby, let her terminate the pregnancy. If it's "immoral" that's no one's business but the individual(s) in question.

I think there will always be a divide because ignorance will always exist. Nosy asshole neighbors will always exist. Hate and greed will always exist. Best we can do is try to rise above it, try to accept that life isn't fair, show each other a little more kindness, patience and tolerance, even when we dislike someone or disagree with them. Within reason, of course. I'm not saying we go give Fred Phelps a hug but maybe if someone did, he'd be brave enough to come out of the closet...

Why ask why?

Is it okay to double dip?

In legal terms, no. It is never permissible observe and fail to report or directly commit such infraction.

Chapter 16 Paragraph 3 of the Germaphobic code states that no community dip shall be transacted from in excess of a singular instance via similar vessel for individual consumption.

Since I am a believer in faithful observation of the Germaphobic code, neither is it acceptable to commit a multiple-dipping, nor shall I be endangered from accidental consumption of dip that has been violated because people are required by law to report observation of such vile crimes.

Paragraph 4 defines "community dip" as any taco dip, ranch dressing, cream cheese ball, fondue, cucumber sauce, or related accouterment of delicious noms intended for ingestion by way of edible delivery device.

Clearly this is something I take very seriously.

Why ask why?

Otherwise I never would have known.

I'm fat?

WHAT???

Why, thank you for pointing that out. I was completely unaware until you so helpfully clued me in. I owe you a debt of gratitude. Because of your disdain for my size, I will immediately begin starving myself in order to gain your approval.

Tetas en Rosado

Hola mi amigos! Here's a new set from the Seattle Series. It's me! In pink! With boobs! YAY! =)

I'm barely in pink though. When I bought this top, I thought it would be just a little more stretchy than it really was. The boobs almost didn't fit. But we had a meeting, talked it over and came to a compromise. The boobs agreed to mush themselves into the top and the top agreed not to burst for at least a few photos. Everyone is happy!

I have become "memorably" numb?

Tonight I had my first "you might be fat if..." experience.

You might be fat if...

...The lady who used to work at the donut shop sees you 2 years later at her new job where she's a hostess and she recognizes you but you don't have any idea who she is.

That was my big clue this evening.

Backstory: I go to this one donut place mayyyyybeeeee 4 or 5 times a year. (Not saying I only /eat/ there 4 or 5 times a year but usually Mr. Buffie just runs in and grabs a half-dozen on the way to work while she-who-is-not-a-morning-person waits in the car. So I personally don't step foot in the donut shop all that much.) /end Backstory

Tonight we went to grab a bite after an obscenely long day at the office and the very nice hostess lady says "Hi! Haven't seen you in a while!"

I'm thinking "Hi, haven't seen you... uhm, ever."

Then she says she knows me from the donut shop, where she used to work 2 years ago.

What does that mean???? Who has a memory like that? Does that mean I'm memorably fat? I've always jokingly wondered if they have fat "Wanted" posters in places like Chinese buffets and donut shops (like John Pinette says) but now I'm thinking - do they /really/ keep tabs???

Mr. Buffie is the one who pops in there 90% of the time and she doesn't seem to recognize him at all.

Not exactly paranoid but definitely perplexed and possibly even intrigued....

What makes someone memorable? (I know what makes someone memorable to me but what's the general consensus? I feel bad for not remembering her. She was a nice chick.)

Are you "memorably" fat? What was your first clue?
