the BBW World Blog

Hello nice people!

I am going to be on Public Access TV with Nancy Goddess on her show GODDESSES LIVE on Thursday, June 5th at 8pm on QUEENS Channel 34! I think it will be a hum-dinger as we will be interviewing each other!

I am not sure if these shows are available online or not, but maybe someone lives in Queens, NY or has a friend who does.

Nancy Goddess is the hostess of Goddesses, a weekly dance party for BBWs in NYC. She and I were both laughing on the phone during a pre-interview because Nancy did not want to believe me that we have known each other for over 14 years! I am not even sure I want to believe it!

We have always had a nice relationship, and I think she is a pioneer for BBW social clubs. After all, with the help of her son Joey and her staff, she has had a weekly party since 1984! Longevity definitely says something!

IF you live in Queens, New York and have Time Warner Cable and access to Channel 34……. we will be on LIVE at 8pm.

Unfortunately, from what I understand, this channel is available in QUEENS ONLY.

It is a CALL-IN show as well, so if you’d like to call in— dial 718-886-8160 and ask to be put through to the LIVE SHOW. However, you do not have to be in NYC or Queens to call-in– you can call in from anywhere!

I have traveled from Los Angeles to Moscow, Russia on my own dime and own time to interview women (and the men who love us) across the globe who are forming, formulating, or participating in the fat and size acceptance/HAES movements. I have testified at the Massachusetts State Senate on bill H. 1844 proposing an anti-discrimination law against height and weight.

“As your storyteller– I still am interested in telling YOUR story. We can only let America know what we want by what we say– and no, it is not our only forum or avenue, but film is a powerful media. Be courageous enough to tell your story of fun, frolic, wow or woe.”–Nerusskaya

Warm regards,

Fat hatred and nonscience stupidity seem to be the content dujour today.

In part f the few listes to which I belong, I found this quote, giving the auther her credit– and just think it sums up everything on the subject quite well!

Editorial note– had difficultly linking the links, so you may have to cut and paste.–KN

Of course he ends his article by saying that he isn’t sure if acceptance is the offer based on the THREE people who protested the bash.

Bythe way, the NRC one appears in Dutch, fyi.
