Bøker av Brittany Gibbons

A sartorial follow-up to her hilarious memoir in stories, Fat Girl Walking, internet personality Brittany Gibbons once again deep dives into the world of the plus size woman, this time chronicling her love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with what fashion.From Pinterest boards and Instagram posts to shop windows and ad campaigns, fashion is everywhere. We shop and dress for practical reasons like job interviews or to make a good impression at the board meeting. We shop and dress for more adventurous reasons?for dates, to woo a lover, to catch someone's eye. Clothes are armor for women, and we wrap a lot of meaning in what we choose to wear. As plus-size spokesmodel and blogger Brittany Gibbons knows, what we choose to wear is especially important, and especially emotional, for curvy women. This isn't only because curvy women feel underrepresented and underserved by the fashion world. For the curvy woman who struggles with feelings of self-worth and a lack of confidence the feeling of "why bother" can come crashing in. You can't help but think "wouldn't leggings and a slouchy sweater just be easier?" Especially when we, like every other woman on the planet, are facing greater, real-life obstacles like raising kids, attending college, keeping your marriage together, paying bills, and a myriad of other daily struggles.Everyone has those days where they hate their body, they hate their clothes, but self-confidence and strength can come from a great outfit. Brittany is determined to help women, curvy and otherwise, embrace fashion and all the bumps and lumps that come with it. An "overdue love letter" to her body, Brittany delves into the hilarity and the humility of her quest to find her own personal style?to break out of a rut of maternity underwear and men's undershirts once and for all. From wardrobe malfunctions, to fashion advice, to mom bodies and the perfect pose, The Clothes Make the Girl (Look Fat)? is the empowered battle cry all women deserve.

Fat Girls Aren't Freaks of Nature. They're Just Like You. Maybe They Are You. With Fat Girl Walking, Brittany Gibbons wants to start a conversation. Or continue a conversation, one she inadvertently started a while ago when she took her clothes off on a stage in front of 700 people. A lot of people thought she was awesome for doing that. Now, she's made it her personal mission on her blog, in social media, on television, and now in this amazing book, to destroy the ridiculous myth that every woman who is overweight hates her body and herself. Brittany Gibbons, and the Curvy Girls she speaks to every day on the Internet, beg to differ. They love their bodies. They love fashion. They are in loving relationships, having lots of sex. They aren't just a fetish, they are normal women. Sure, sometimes they doubt themselves, they're not robots, but not anymore than EVERY OTHER WOMAN ON THE PLANET.Fat Girl Walking is a collection of stories from Brittany's life, her thoughts about the issues that she has faced as a woman, wife, mom, daughter, daughter-in-law, and Internet personality in regards to her weight. She has tried to be as honest as she possibly could?but hopefully any discomfort you feel will quickly be replaced by laughter. She also asks some tough questions, things like ?What if my husband weighs less than I do?? and ?Is my body hate ruining my daughter's life??Read Fat Girl Walking?start having those conversations, and maybe save all of womankind.
