excerpts: "I saw other women in my life forgetting their beauty, their worth--forgetting how to be loved, and to love without fear of rejection because of their size. I saw those women forgetting that a large part of being beautiful is attitude, and that no one, not even the women in magazines, really look like the caricature of feminine beauty on the covers."
"Sexy can have a double chin, thank you very much."
"FG is a validation, and a decree. FG is an attitude, and a reassurance--it is a battle cry. Sometimes, it is a soft whisper of reminder to women (and men) that to be happy is not to be thin, to be beautiful is not to weigh in at a lower number on a scale, and to be healthy isn’t to fit into single digit sized jeans."
"More than anything, it is important that we first accept ourselves so that we can begin to accept others. We accept others so that we can begin to accept ourselves."
FG#15 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.
