'decided to become gay' = not how it works

my tattoo isn't actually from oranges are not the only fruit, it's from written on the body
i haven't read it yet but i have a very long list of things to read but i pretty much like everything she writes and think she's fucking brilliant so i will probably like it -
why thank you!
i think a good place to start would be with the bajillions of uber-fashionable amazing inspiring plus-size bloggers out there, since it's bullshit that the media doesn't present larger body sizes with inspiration or the suggestion that, you know, fashion and style is for them too. fitting into sample sizes doesn't have anything to do with looking incredible all of the time, and there are so many folks with so many body types who look fierce and are major style inspiration regardless of how much you weigh.
my friend nicolette is one of the best-dressed ladies i know and has a whole column for Marie Claire, basically about your question exactly: http://www.nicolettemason.com
and there are tons of other fab plus-size folks out there, like:
http://www.gabifresh.com/
http://jaymiranda.com/
http://girlwithcurves.tumblr.com/
http://www.fashionhayley.com/
http://inthethickofit.tumblr.com/
and that's only a very small beginning.
For shopping: ASOS and Forever 21 both carry a wider variety of sizes in some of their looks, and redressnyc.com carries a lot of awesome fashionable pieces in larger sizes as well. I'm not super helpful here since I'm lucky enough to be able to shop at most stores, and I know that unfrumpy options are often infuriatingly limited in larger sizes.
And beyond that -- or just an easy way to start -- if you have a hard time finding clothes that fit well or if you just tend to prefer more basic styles anyhow, punchy accessories fit EVERYONE and are really what make an outfit anyhow. A colourful scarf, statement earrings, a great necklace or arm of fun bangles, sparkly shoes, a killer handbag, or some bright red or pink lipstick goes a long way! -
it's the alphabet, it's sort of a reference to a jeanette winterson book, here was the post when i first got it: http://morningmidnight.com/post/834892083/written-on-the-body

i think i need to qualify here that i actually dress like a respectable adult when it is required of me which is most of the time, and that i don't really think "trashy" is a bad thing and hilariously i don't actually think i look all that "sleezy," maybe i am delusional here, i mean obviously decorum isn't my primary concern but i dunno, i don't think "trashy ho" is entirely my main steeze and it sorta bums me out if "slutmachine" is the only vibe i give off, that is sorta unchill
i guess i should also say "thank you" -
there are like a bajillion "unmodelly" photos of me on the internet, especially on twitter and facebook and stuff, i think it also has more to do with "me having gross dimples and a marginally similar body type/mannerisms and very similar eye shape and hairstyles and having style similar to a lot of characters she plays" than "my bone structure is identical to hers," i do not really think i look exactly like her but i get where people get it from, why, who do you think i look like
also, like, "casual unmade up" is not a thing that happens in my life super often, if only because it takes like a week for my usual amount of eyeliner/mascara to wear off and because i use tinted moisturizer

here is a picture of her i put as my facebook profile picture that people believed was me for, like, ages

there also, like, not a great picture but i get how that looks like me, like as compared to http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/401296_631360845725_8400050_33165204_928962621_n.jpg

I feel fine about it since I don't think they're ugly, and I also don't base my entire self worth over whether or not I bear passing resemblance to people who anonymous folks on the internet find attractive? Don't be a jerk.

well for the first disclaimer, much of the "carrying on" here you will note is in direct response to very pointed questions about it, which is not reflective of what my daily life conversations are actually like
there is this thing that happens where when you are not straight, as soon as you talk about your relationships, people think it is "obvious" or that you are "showing it off" or "carrying on" or what have you, like how when (homophobic) people say "oh, i'm not homophobic, i don't mind gay people i just wish they wouldn't flaunt it?" like 99% of the time it's not even "flaunting" it's just "not hiding the truth." so when straight people talk about their relationships or who they date or whatever nobody thinks of it as "flaunting" it or "carrying on," because it is seen as "normal." furthermore they don't need to qualify it as "a straight thing" or "i went on a straight date" or "i went to a straight bar" because of the fact that it's presumed it's straight, because that is what is "normal" and the "dominant culture."
if you think about how often straight people make jokes about sex or relationships -- that happens all the time too, pretty much constantly, which is fine, because sex and relationships are a part of everyone's lives and why shouldn't they talk about it? so it sort of sucks that if i do the same -- which is just part of my life! i'm dating a girl, people ask me about that, people talk to me about it, a lot of my friends are gay, there's some sort of culture surrounding that which i participate in, there are a lot of gay issues in the media/politics right now which i am obviously interested in, etc -- it's, like, a problem or weird or offputting or annoying or carrying on or me trying to convince someone of something. which it isn't. it's just my life.
and for a lot of queer people it feels really crappy when people tell them stuff like that. the whole spectrum of "why do you have to talk about it all the time" "why do you have to hold hands in public" etc, etc are all different methods of silencing. and that sort of silencing also does a lot to push back queer visibility, issues, and rights -- if you think about it, in many ways not "carrying on" is also called "being in the closet," which sucks. and if seeing me be able to be open about my relationship and life and interests helps or reassures one single sad closeted gay teenager or something, anywhere, then i'm fine with it annoying you. -
i can never tell if you people are trying to be funny, or condescending and mean

whoever is still in the bathroom I REALLY NEED TO PEE AAAAHHH

nothing super noteworthy yet
if you know someone who wants to publish anything i write in a printed magazine or book BY ALL MEANS -
i didn't find it necessary to indulge that question with further detail since it's beyond preposterous to suggest that i haven't read books by men and because i'm sure i've written a bajillion things before about books by dudes that i think are fucking brilliant
furthermore writing one personal piece about how i was upset on a personal level by one essay by one male author has absolutely nothing to do with 'hatred,' let alone of half of humanity, and it is kind of illogical to assume that it does, see also 'straw man' -
i mean technically probably the longest is the colour my hair grows out of my head since it was that colour until i was 14 or whenever i started dyeing my hair
i sort of just do what ever i feel like, there isn't actually a whole lot of science or thought behind it other than my capriciousness
for a while i also hair modelled so was like "do whatever you want, i don't care at all" and that is how i ended up with a lot of the colours -
