just finished fat girl # fourteen!

fat girl is a 1/4 size zine dealing with body positive imagery and writing, specifically where fat is concerned. FG is a 1/4 size, 20pp zine. this zine is photocopied in black and white on text weight paper. it is hand sewn with a japanese stab binding, and a heavy weight thread.

FG#14 includes a personal essay by Patricia Amos about medications and weight gain, struggling with body image, and her own self acceptance, art by Ang West, art by Nicci (of course!) and some short pieces by Nicci such as body love, food love, and dispelling the 'if'.

Excerpt: "Representations of beauty differ depending on time and culture. What is considered beautiful and desireable changes. Define your own beauty. Defend it. Love your face; love your body."
