Fat Gals get the Colbert Bump

[wednes]

fflo reminded me that I wanted to post about last night's Colbert Report.

Legendary chubby chaser Leonard Nimoy was on. We all remember Leonard from his brilliant work on In Search Of, and his awesome role in 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Hint, he was in on it.
Anywhoo, he was on Colbert last night talking about The Full Body Project which is mainly Leonards own photography of Women En Large*. They are some beautiful, brave women. I know no one's getting near naked Wednes with a camera, although I did let H take lingerie pics when we'd been dating for about six months.

Nimoy and Colbert talked about body image while Colbert professed his distaste for anything that goes against traditional standards. That Colbert is such a funny guy. It was a great interview and the audience seemed totally supportive to Nimoy and his message of beauty at any size.

I'm always pretty quick to post when fat gals are getting a raw deal.
It's nice to have something positive to post on the subject.



*Another splendid book of this type.

I'd love to see that Colbert (well, any Colbert, really). What I've heard of Nimoy and his latest book (and exhibit) has been pretty cool.

I guess I could have embeded it

My MIL bought the Full Body Project for my husband for his birthday. GORGEOUS. BREATHTAKING. He was actually disappointed that there weren't *more* photos in the book. Of course, I've had a crush on Nimoy for ages - he has an *amazing* face.

I've heard nothing but great things about the book. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

Yeah, that Nimoy is a good one.
