Miss Piggy & Kermie
Since I was about 4, my grandma would lovingly tease that I had the sass and style sense of Miss Piggy. While I'm not as self-absorbed as Piggy can be, I love hard when I love and I have a sass about me.

The Size Experts – Tights Haul
I've never been a fan of pantyhose or tights. Growing up I just remember being forced to wear them due to school dress code and the digging in + thigh rub would leave me in such pain. So when I first found out that the "cure" or management of Lymphedema was compression stockings, I wanted to cry. I was so afraid I was going to basically be sentenced to a life of constantly raw thighs. Luckily so far, my PT feels knee high compression stockings are the best course of action for my Lymphedema. However, the Lipedema makes finding regular pantyhose a nightmare... Well, the Lipedema + my short height makes it a nightmare. With hips almost as wide as I am tall, getting pantyhose that are not so painfully tight and don't have almost half a leg in extra length is a miracle. Thigh highs have never had enough "thigh" in them to fit and knee highs dig in so tightly at the back of the knee that I feel like I'm going to lose feeling in my legs. I basically gave up on hosiery and switched to leggings under dresses. But as I embrace the girlier dresses, I'm…

#makemyownwings
As I’m sure a lot of you have heard by now, Victoria’s Secret isn’t fat friendly. I’m not sure why this is still shocking to some people. I have never once shopped in a VS as I knew from the start nothing would fit me. So I never really thought about them not using plus size models before. I mean why would they model something they don’t sell? I think what shocks people is that we are almost done with 2018 and a higher up in a major brand would go on the record discriminating against plus size and transgender models. Not so much what he said but more the fact that he had the balls to say it. Ed Razek said that trans and plus-size women do not exemplify the “fantasy” that Victoria’s Secret is trying to sell. Well guess what Ed.. we don’t need to be your “fantasy”. We are #realwomen, day to day women that most people will actually interact with. Where as your Vicky’s Angels barely exist outside of the runway. I love that the hashtag #makemyownwings was started. We need embrace the curves we have no matter how big or small or uneven they may…

Statler and Waldorf
I have loved the Muppets since I was 2 years old. Muppet Babies was one of my favorite shows as a child. So much so that at the age of two, I named a kitten Muppet. When Tyree and I started talking about what my next tattoo project would be (while finishing up the Disney Villains sleeve), I said the only thing I ever really liked enough to tattoo on me would be the Muppets. Once I decided to add a Muppets thigh piece to my tattoos, I knew I had to start with Statler and Waldorf. Their back and forth sarcastic banter is something I look for in all relationships. (I realize that is probably not healthy.. oh well.)

The Size Experts – Panty Haul
I received some plus size panties and tights from The Big Bloomers Company, which is part of The Size Experts family in the UK. They are a small company with one of the nicest group of people for a staff I've ever encountered. Their website is really easy to use or they do phone orders if you'd rather talk to someone. The Size Experts specializes in plus and super plus size underwear and tights. In this post, I will be reviewing 3 different pairs of panties.
