new large belly dance community

[keryx]

Belly dance has been catching on among the fat women I know online for awhile, so I figure it was only a matter of time before someone started a fat bellydance community (well, they call it BBW, but I like FAT, so there). It looks like it could be cool.

Big Beautiful Woman. I think it's kinda anti-feministy and euphemistic. Others disagree.

Yes, heaven forbid we should refuse to identify ourselves as beautiful, for whatever reason.

(I am homely as a mud fence, thankyouverymuch.)

Yep. Someone ought to be advocating for our right to be as ugly as we like. Sadly, I am not that someone. I'm way too bought into the beauty myth.
