Like on FacebookI wanted to talk about the idea of flattering clothing but I wasn’t in the mood to do a lot of typing so instead I made a bit of a rant video. Beware – I say fuck a lot. You can buy one of Gisela’s Fuck Flattering shirts here.
And you may have noticed a new sponsor on the right hand side there. My girl Dani recently started an awesome pop culture/celebrity gossip blog called Pop Culture Major, make sure you check it out. If you would like to advertise on Fat Aus click here.

haha I hear you on this. I personally like to wear things that looks good on me, but not to others, to me. Of course, i would not wear something I don’t like on me, still I hate it when people come to my blog and say ‘you shouldn’t wear this’ (I accept ‘I don’t like it’, but not ‘you shouldn’t), how dare you tell me what I’m supposed to do or wear?? haha… funny. Anyway in Italy there is this kind of ‘fashion police’ which is really disturbing at times!
by the way… you look great!

I can’t even describe how much I love this video. I’ve never been tiny and have been fashion obsessed since I was a little girl and I always had this mindset of “Well I can wear those things I love one day when I’m thin.” because none of the things and trends I liked were “right” for me.
Letting that shit go has been one of the things I’ve ever done for myself.

This is so empowering!! I’ve always loved looking at clothing and fashion magazines, but always felt limited because the styles I liked wouldn’t hide my stomach or thighs enough. So, since I was old enough to care, I’ve had this inner style that has never been showcased in any way because of my fear to wear “unflattering” clothing. I never felt like I was “allowed” to wear SOOO many things because I was too big and when I finally found something that fit and was totally adorable, I would often put it back because it was just a tad snug in this area or that. In the last year, I’ve been working extensively on loving myself for who I am and this video just put an idea in my head that I’d never really had before. And it is SUCH a liberating idea, too! Now instead of dreading going shopping because I have this ongoing stream of societal bullshit in my head telling me not to get something I love because I look too fat in it, I can buy things that I like that fit me however I want them to fit me. I’m going to watch this in the mornings before I go to classes so I can remind myself to say “fuck you” to my inner voice that’s telling me that I should try to find something a little more slimming. Thank you SO much for making this video and for being a strong woman in general. =D

Just saw your commentary on “flattering.” I am 50+ and always have been larger than the “norm.” My take has been sexy is not about how long my hair is, how much makeup I have on or “who” I am wearing. Being true to who you are, not a “fashion” will go a long way to being a happy woman, self possessed, and smiling wickedly back to the “boys” who think you are an amazing woman. By the way, I am Jezzy Belles Mom

Thank you so much for this video. I completely agree, I’ve heard people comment on what other people are wearing and I can’t help but feel who gives a shit if you don’t like what that person is wearing, there isn’t a should and shouldn’t for clothes, it should only matter that the person wearing the clothes likes them. I don’t know why so many, especially women, buy into this crap. If you like it, you feel good in it, who gives a shit what anyone else thinks. I also like to curse a lot, if you couldn’t already tell.
Thank you so much for this video.
