What is going on this week?

First, Entertainment Tonight did it.

Then, this morning, The Today Show did it.

And I found myself to be so damn irritated, I couldn’t see straight.

What did they do? Well, ET dressed Vanessa Minnillo up in a fat suit to simulate a 350 lb woman. And The Today Show dressed Rebecca Mader up in a fat suit to resemble someone “twice her normal weight.” BTW–Mader’s suit was much more believable.

Why do I have my XL panties in a wad over this? Because the way they portrayed these women. They reported that the stares were harsh and that people treated them differently. They wouldn’t wait on them in stores or give them directions. Mader went to a restaurant as herself without reservations one day and was seated immediately. She went as her Fat Self the next day and they told her it would be 30-40 minutes.

They both reported that people seemed to look through them, if they looked at them at all. At one point, Minnillo was asking perfect strangers in a park if they would help her tie her shoes. You know what? I’m pretty sure I would walk away from you, too–no matter what size you are.

My favorite thing that happened on camera was when a strung out chick at the subway came up to Mader and just yelled “You’re fat!” at her over and over again. I laughed so hard I nearly cried.

Mader just stood there–stunned. I guess The Today Show writers forgot to write a snappy little comeback in case of emergencies.

I’m a big girl and I’ve been a big girl for a while now. One time I had some frat boys “moo” at me in the grocery store. And I handled it very well, thankyouverymuch. They’ll never moo at anyone else again.

But that’s not my point. My point is, normal people don’t just approach us fatties and say, “You’re fat.” They’re either paid to do that or they haven’t put the crack pipe down.

It’s not your weight, it’s how you carry yourself. These undercover fatties were not walking with their heads held high, making eye contact, smiling. Hell, Minnillo was wearing a VELOUR JOGGING SUIT. That’s why she was being ignored. LOL

I wear clothes that fit. I have my navel pierced and occasionally, expose my soft belly. I laugh and strut and make eye contact because I’m not ashamed to be me. At 36 and overweight, I still get hit on.

So, next time you big time news shows want to do a show on fatties, how about you make it about real women instead?

And somebody PLEASE feed Minnillo and Mader a sandwich, bless their bony little hearts.

This shit only happens to me.

Tonight, I’m getting ready to retire to the bedroom. As always, I walk to the boys’ rooms and kiss them on the forehead and turn off every light in the known universe. Then, I come back to the living room, grab the cordless phone and my drink and head toward my bedroom.

I get into the kitchen, stop to turn off the lights and when I do, the cordless phone flips out of my hand and smack dab into the trashcan. Hahahaha, I think. That was funny. I couldn’t have done that if I’d’ve planned it. (I’d’ve is the best contraction ever, btw)

Well, I reach into the can (which appeared empty) and pull out the phone–THE CHEESECAKE covered phone.

Oh yes. Cheesecake AND whip cream.

DISGUSTING.

Who does this? Who the hell else would this happen to?

I downloaded it at work this morning and now I’m all flushed and thirsty. Could somebody please turn on the air?

Eden’s Pleasure By Kate Pearce
Eight years ago, after a summer of sexual dalliance with Gervase Harcourt and his twin brother Gideon, Eden was forced into marriage. Now widowed and twenty six, she is eager to enjoy her freedom and explore her deepest sexual desires.

When she crosses paths with the delectable Harcourt twins again, they offer to make amends for their part in her miserable marriage by fulfilling her sexual fantasies. They introduce her to Madame Desiree’s House of Pleasure where any erotic dream can become a reality. She also learns love has its darker side and that for Gideon, not all the fantasies played out at Madame Desiree’s are pleasurable.

As Eden explores her sensuality she realizes her heart still belongs to Gervase. But is she more than just a sexual plaything to him? Forced to consider another unwanted marriage and convinced that her barren state is why Gervase hasn’t offered to marry her, Eden flees from Gervase and the sensual web he’s spun around her. But Gervase has learned his own lessons at Madame Desiree’s…

Have you ever just been in the mood for a good storm?

Well, I am in one of those very moods right now. It’s been far too long since we’ve had one here.

My little weatherbug sounded off an alert. “THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION” it said.

Bring it on.

Football season ended last night and this mamacita is one happy camper. We’ll have a slight reprieve until basketball season starts–if you can call the holidays a reprieve.

Now we just have three school projects to complete between now and Christmas Break. I can live with that…I don’t know if Ian can, though.

All this talk about movies lately has gotten me all revved up for the latest installment of Harry Potter. Goblet of Fire opens Friday. I already have our tickets. Does that make me a goob? Yeah. Probably.

But guess what?

I. Don’t. Care.

Here is my top 15 list of favorite movies (not in any particular order). I’m so easy to please it isn’t funny. I go to the movies to be entertained. Period. I want a love story or LOL humor.

1. The Little Mermaid
2. Dirty Dancing
3. American President
4. Better Off Dead
5. Sixteen Candles
6. Bridget Jones Diary
7. Titanic
8. The Parent Trap (doesn’t matter which one, love them both)
9. The Replacements
10. Under the Tuscan Sun
11. Office Space
12. Dodgeball
13. Bull Durham
14. Sound of Music
15. Top Gun

So, how cheesy does this list make me?
