My friend Roberto's designer "pants" came in handy last night. They were see through mesh. Who knew Spandex mesh could make a girl look so, well...toned. I am now a HUGE fan. I'm going to the fabric district to see what I can design out of it. I haven't seen it down there, but I never looked either. West Hollywood is always a blast for Halloween. There are over 1 million people on ONE street in LA. Santa Monica Blvd. is packed. If you are claustrophobic, don't go. I'm not, but I'm also taller than the crowd.
I am such a huge fan of the rainbow community. Everyone has fun and is so accepting of all sexes, shapes and sizes. Thank god they help run Hollywood. It wouldn't be so amazing without them. And fashion would be dead as well, so CHEERS to my Fabulous DRAG QUEEN friends, Twinks and Leather Bears. They always shock me with their love for my large mammary glands. lol
You boys inspire me to go all out! We got up on stage and did the catwalk. Which was fun, if you don't mind getting roasted by the host. He was most interested in Batman that he was me, so it was even better! Next year I think I'll sing. I'll get my Halloween songs together and rock out.
I always hated being big until a few years ago...2009 literally is when it started! Over the last 3 years, I've surrounded myself with good people who have given me a whole new outlook on life. I always coveted the skinny girls wishing and hoping that my latest diet craze would pay off, thinking in my mind a size 8 wasn't good enough. (What BS! I needed my head examined)
Now, I realize (thanks to some very important people in my life. Mr. Kelly, thank you! I just wanted to shout out to my favorite writer/friend. He reminded me Hollywood is big enough for me and my body) I learned to strut my stuff and not worry if a little cellulite is showing or not. (Trust me, this is a huge breakthrough! I am so damn modest and shy inside. That religious upbringing doesn't go away even with the help of a corset) I learned no one is looking at your flaws but you, and some people even think what you consider flaws are SEXY to them! I am now living what I've learned. Practicing what I've preached about self esteem. I had a few down years and now I feel happier and better than ever. And NO, I don't need a breast reduction or more liposuction, (which always comes back anyway, btw..don't do it!) just a healthy lifestyle and a little workout at the gym for an hour 3 times a week.
I may never be a size 4 again, but I smile when I look in the mirror. God made me big and bodacious. I accept that and thank God and my friends who helped me embrace it this year.
Love you all!

I love the Bat-family shot.
It's a crazy part of the country where you could possibly be considered "big". You are FINE!
Thank you Dan. I STILL have your hell raiser jacket. Now I've moved to the real city, I must find it in the warehouse and ship it to you. Damn my schedule. Thank you for all your work on my sites in the early days. I appreciate it so much. I love you all.
