I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what to do with this blog. I’ve decided that I’m going to rebuild it into a format more conducive to displaying images, just like the one above.

Dear Friends, I have decided that I don’t want to do this anymore. Not as is. Something has to change. When I started last April, I had set out with a catalog of photos, and few opinions on fatty love that I felt like expressing, but as the months have rolled on by, my eyes [...]

Start the new year off right, with the best calendar in the known universe! What better way to get your BBW love on, than with a years worth of stunning images from the inimitable Brenda Jean? This calendar is brimming with Tootsicle cuteness, featuring photos that are sure to bring a smile to every day [...]

The last few days have been crazy, and traffic to the site has increased by leaps and bounds. Thank you to all who visit, comment, forward, link, Tweet, ReTweet, Stumble or otherwise spread our message of size acceptance and fat hotness! This site is nothing without you, so don’t be shy. I want to hear [...]

For all you photo fans, the BBW Deluxe Flickr Photostream is finally taking shape. There are only a few photos online at the moment, but I’ll post a few more each week, and if you are a friend, you’ll be able to see even more. Some are of a racier nature than you’ll find on [...]

I decided to customize the look of BBW Deluxe’s Twitter presence to better match the site. Those of you who tweet, follow me!

I finally completed the new WordPress theme this afternoon, and couldn’t wait to install it. So far so good. If you see anything that doesn’t look right, or is malfunctioning, please let me know. Heck, I’d like to hear from you even if there is nothing wrong! Tell me your thoughts, send me your pictures [...]

I’ve been in a slump these past few weeks. With a close friend in the hospital, with the news of famous, and not-so-famous, people dying, and knowing that others still will soon be checking out, it’s enough to make a guy get introspective. Even before all this calamity, I had been taking stock of my life. I’m going [...]

Plus-size fashion is a subject of passion for BBW Deluxe readers and writers alike, and rightly so. The big women in my sphere are among the most stylish people around, yet they frequently get the short end of the stick when it comes to attractive, afforable clothing in extended size ranges. With sizes over 14 [...]

Special thanks to BBW Deluxe reader Lynne, for the heads up on this bit by ABC news, featuring fellow bloggers, and dishy big girls Marianne Kirby of The Rotund and Gabrielle Gregg of Young Fat and Fabulous. Having dated a number of self-loathing BBW, it’s very refreshing to see beautiful women like these not bowing [...]

One of the coolest things about doing this blog is getting to meet a number of talented, beautiful women. Please welcome Peeps Benoir, the newest contributor to BBW Deluxe. After exchanging a few emails, and seeing her photography, I’m so excited to see what she’ll bring to the table. I have no doubt she’ll be [...]

The timing was not so great. The prospect of being unplugged for over a week was something that I knew I’d hate, and it’s far from the the most responsible thing I could do as one who is trying to get his project (this site) off the ground. My grandmother is 84 years old, and [...]

Those of you who follow Dyxie’s photostream already know that her skills are not limited to taking photographs, but that she also writes great captions and descriptions for her photos as well. Personally, I can’t get enough of this talented young lady, which is why I am so excited to announce that she is joining [...]

Ok, I finally got around to setting up a Twitter page for BBW Deluxe. Let’s follow each other, so I can cringe anytime someone says “Tweet.” http://twitter.com/bbwdeluxe Do it. You know ya wanna…

I’m very pleased today because I’ve received my first non-photographic submission, in the form a piece by guest writer Sammy Emm. I couldn’t be happier about the news because it’s a step toward my goal of making this site a community with a number of different voices. Sam is a great writer, with a mind [...]

In spinning my Social Media web, I’ve decided to start with MySpace. Be a friend of BBW Deluxe, and you will have access to exclusive, full-sized, non-watermarked images. I just started this, so Tom’s my only friend. Hurry up and add BBW Deluxe, so you can be the first person to appear next to him! [...]

I couldn’t wait to get up today. I was like a child on Christmas morning. While the site has been live for a few days, yesterday was what I considered the official launch date, and I was chomping at the bit to see the stats on the number of visitors. I’m happy to report that [...]

In a major marketing coup secured by BBW Deluxe staffers (Ok, it’s just me), we’ve landed an official endorsement from Flickr Rock Star and BBW diva, Dyxie! This is an exciting development for the crew here at BBW Deluxe (me), and is the first step in what we hope will be a long, fruitful relationship. [...]

Did you know that the average American woman weighs 162.9 lbs, and is a size 14? I sure didn’t. I have to really focus to recall a woman I know under 200 lbs. I was just reading an interesting article recently published by the L.A. Times, about the uneasy relationship between the fashion industry and [...]

A famous proverb says “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” I have been doing my best to keep this idea in mind, while finding one way after another to procrastinate the writing of my first post. I bought this domain a year and a half ago, not knowing exactly what I [...]
