Prettty Porky and Pissed Off
I cofounded the performance/education group Pretty Porky and Pissed Off in 1997 with Mariko Tamaki and Ruby Rowen. We grew to include Abi Slone, Tracy Tidgwell, Joanne Huffa, Lisa Ayuso, Zoe Whittal. Over the years we have danced, sang, eaten, lectured, interviewed and performed to expand and create positive messages about fat bodies.
We are no longer performing but we continue to lecture and write about our experiences as fat activists. For more information visit our website or check out the essay I wrote about our history in Fat: The Anthropology of an Obsession.
