Fat RayRay!





I don't know Rebel Wilson as a comedian nor have I seem her in any other movie than Pitch Perfect but the character she plays 'Fat Amy' in Pitch Perfect is hilarious!  Rebel plays her so well.  And I mentioned 'Fat Amy' in my last post I wanted to share with you why I love that fictional character so much!



This film wasn't about her being plus size but somehow she carried the flag so well.  Fat Amy remains true to herself throughout the movie and ends up being the one in the group who helps push the group to accept themselves!  This clip in particular is my favourite because she/ script writers challenges people to face the kind of behaviour towards plus size people they have behind the scenes.  When she's asked you call yourself Fat Amy?" she responds "yes, so you twig b****** don't d it behind my back."  Take that!   



Some will argue she shouldn't call herself the word fat in the first place.  She is just Amy.  That's true.  But I see it as when she calls herself Fat Amy she is doing it in a way that just is and not nastily the way they would do it.  She takes away their ability to do it and to me that's a win!



I wore my new Keep Calm I'm Fat & Friendly t shirt to lunch with some friends in Camden, London where there are many Keep Calm shirts and I got so much attention!  It was great.  You could see people were like "what?!" and some people said "well done" some frowned and to those haters I might as well have been Fat Amy daring to call myself fat.  That's their job and I robbed them of the joy of being nastily judgemental behind my back.  When my friend posted it on my personal facebook it blew up!  Friends and family loved it!  So even if not one of my t shirts sell I am pleased with what I accomplish myself by wearing it! 







So beyoutiful  bigYoutifuls!
