O hai! My blog is about body acceptance, with a focus on skinny chickas (I used to be depressed in high school because I was scrawny and had no boobs and thought guys didn't like me etc. etc.) because I would like to help other poor teenagers with poor self esteem. Because we have a similar goal in the promotion of body acceptance and loving who you are, I followed you, as well as a number of other blogs in the same vein. I realize it does seem kinda funny and ironic at first, haha.

Next: Hey Natalie, have you seen the comments here (http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/snippets/issue16/gala_darling )? I found them to be interesting, if not illuminating. I have a long-standing fascination slash love slash hate of Gala Darling that began when I stumbled on her blog years ago. On some level, I admire and am curious about her "brand" of blogging, and on the other I've been irritated by how... flippant and fluffy her content is, and I've had comments where I've questioned/criticized some of her wording or whatever be deleted. Whatever little trickles of vulnerability she lets out make me not outright hate her, so I hope she comes across some of this neative press and takes accountability for herself. I cannot see what I'm typing right now so I hope I haven't made too many typos..

I want to clarify that I don’t have a tumblr or blog that focuses on setting up competition between body types. That is an unproductive motivation in my opinion, because skinny body types are well represented however larger body types (and differently abled and non-white bodies) are indeed under-represented and therefore coded as ugly. 

You can see a white skinny able-bodied woman everywhere in western society. The bodies that are not widely represented are the bodies that I seek to represent on my tumblr.
