Fatshionista in the Globe
Just discovered that blogger behind “Fatshionista” was profiled in today’s Globe! Her name is Lesley Kinzel and she lives in Revere.
I love her prediction (on her blog) for what will be in the comments section of the story:
… some people passionately wishing me ill by some fat-related doom; some people passively-but-ominously observing that while they don’t actively wish me fat-related doom, fat-related doom is coming for me nonetheless; some people wondering how the Globe can possibly justify publishing anything not on the subject of unemployment, the economy, and/or local sports right now in These Troubled Times, and bemoaning this evidence of irresponsible journalism; and some people exasperatedly opining that if SOME people can’t handle a little snow during a New England winter, then SOME people should move south and shut the hell up about it.
Heh. It’s funny ’cause it’s true.

“some people exasperatedly opining that if SOME people can’t handle a little snow during a New England winter, then SOME people should move south and shut the hell up about it.”
This is so true (and there should be something in there about “marking” one’s on-street parking space with cones, lawn chairs, and the like). The comments section of many Globe articles often turns into a middle-school cafeteria free-for-all, with most of the remarks having little or nothing to do with the topic at hand… no matter the topic! I love the Globe and I adore boston.com, but some of the responses to articles just make me shake my head.
I only looked at a few of the responses to the article on Lesley–they were predictibly obnoxious, so I hit the “back” button in a hurry.
