Top Ten Things I Miss About Being a Fat Punk
Right now, I am an office worker, ok? No American would accuse me of being "skinny" but definitely "hot." I'm wearing a tight black short sleeved dress, tan fishnets, and black heels with rosettes on them. Good lord. I used to be Mrs. Avant-Punk Drummer, working nights as a ticket-taker/security/accountant for a lapdance club. I was 200lbs, and 5'4" (oh that's so horrible, right?) but you know what? I miss it!
10. Nothing to iron.
9. No mirrors
8. Doc Martens broken at the little toe.
7. Throwing on my boyfriend's clothes
6. Torn skull t-shirts
5. Folding laundry? Are you kidding?
4. Eating, drinking, drugging my fill.
3. Shallow assholes avoid you.
2. Falling asleep in front of bands at CBGB
And the thing I miss most is...
1. Integrity!
What I really don't miss was the discrimination: fat chics, esp. get a really hard time from people. Maybe people take it as a kind of rejection that some women don't care about the mating dance. Who knows?

Sure, some people will hassle them but most of the time it's the way that fat chics act. It's too bad because I know some fat chics that are smokin' hot and super cool but at the same time I know some that could be but have a chip on their shoulder or are super-shy and because of that chip or shyness they aren't.
Attitude is everything. But on the other hand, there is discrimination against fat people. Gwyneth Paltrow got to see it when she dressed in a fat suit for Shallow Hal.

I was never that big, but I live in a very thin city.
