Speaking of curves, last week I attended the Curve Collective’s Fat Babe Pool Party, a joyous, gender-neutral celebration of fat babes and their fat bodies at He Puna Taimoana, which are five glorious hot pools by the ocean, about a ten minute drive from my home.

(Have I mentioned recently that I love my city? I love my city.)

A fat Pakeha woman in a raspberry pink swimsuit with absurd and delightful ruffles, and a Māori woman in a navy and white striped swimsuit (so chic, super French) stand cleavage deep in water, clearly having a terrific time. Behind the white-and-navy suited woman, a MYSTERIOUS STRANGER has hidden her face, but holds up her fingers in bunny ears. — Moata and me, looking good as hell.

We floated! We soaked! We danced! Some of us (not me) plunged into the cold pool! I came home that evening slightly wrinkly and all buoyed up by this lovely event, and then I had half a glass of wine and fell headfirst into the deepest sleep I’ve had in weeks.

ALSO ALSO speaking of fat babes and Persephone in Bloom:

Muna and Broad, an excellent indie pattern designer for fat bodies (who created my beloved Tarawi Shirt and the extremely handy Nullabor Cami) have started running a Fat Book Club for their patrons. And lo! Persephone in Bloom was selected!

I’m right chuffed. This is going straight to the pool room. And other phrases that indicate I’m delighted by good opinions of my work from people whose own work I like and respect.

Not a bad job, this. Reckon I’ll keep it.
