I’ve been wondering ...You rock for making all this! I’ve been wondering how the heck I can pull off 18th century undergarments (stays will be a royal pain in the waist.) and a robe a la francaise in blues and grays. Now I know that it won’t be a pointless venture because I know I can rock the sacque back like nobody’s business. :)H A Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406264997971398566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240267005733893290.post-82101536386170820362014-05-12T23:24:53.211-07:002014-05-12T23:24:53.211-07:00here, here!

So take your lemons and make lemonade. My go-to re-enacting character is Queen Victoria! I mean, she's 'fat' and 'old' but also 'rich' and 'powerful'. You can add more descriptives; 'empress', 'queen', 'ruler of a world-spanning empire', 'longest reigning monarch' and a lot of other stuff. <br /><br />The only thing I disagree with you about is that it's NOT the accessories (although goodness knows they help! I mean a diamond crown goes a long, LONG way) it's the ATTITUDE. Whoever you portray (Catherine the Great, anybody? Not exactly a stick-insect either) OWN it. ROCK it. Know in the deepest part of your soul that you look AMAZING and that nobody can touch you for fabulousness.<br /><br />That's the real secret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240267005733893290.post-74138363776552256872014-04-21T22:02:59.125-07:002014-04-21T22:02:59.125-07:00thanks! appreciate it!

I have one little teeny, tiny request, and if you chose not to do, I completely understand. Would it be possible to use a larger font? My eyes are getting old and I had to get up close to read. Again, if you chose not to,it will not hurt my feelings. You are wonderful and I enjoyed reading your "About You." Also, I thought of Kirstie Alley's "Fat Actress" when I first read your title.Sassy Countesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529142423534090084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240267005733893290.post-91772248070844437162014-04-06T11:43:56.936-07:002014-04-06T11:43:56.936-07:00Thank you!

I am not a skinny woman and never have been...and always feel uncomfortable around these women who have never dealt with body image problems...not to mention the medical establishment !
