Hello! My name is Starsha. I'm 33, a wife, a mother, and a graduate student in counseling psychology.


I believe that fat people are more than just the fat they carry. They are more than the stereotyped image of the fat person who is lazy and eats all day. They have lives and families. Yet they seem to be open targets for public shame and humiliation. It seems that so many people are all too willing to poke fun at someone who is fat because of some preconceived notion that all fat people choose to be that way. Just because fat is so obvious. It cannot be hidden. It can't be tucked away within ourselves or stuffed in a box and stored under the bed. It can never be a secret.


I'm pro-fat acceptance because I am pro-human rights. Fat people have a right to feel comfortable in their own skin. They have a right to leave their houses without shame or fear of being mocked. Other people do not have to like it, but they certainly do not have a right to make someone feel less than human because of it.

I hate it when people take other people’s works of art and defile it to be hateful. This work of art is from Leonard Nemoy’s, The Full Body Project.

Leonard is very disappointed in you.

I need a work of art that depicts Jesus and Buddha playing checkers (or chess or chinese checkers or some kind of board game). I don’t know why I need this, I just do. Someday I hope to have the statue representation of this artwork in my future rock/succulent yard (because it is Texas and grass these days just doesn’t seem worth the effort lol).
