Yeah, so I’m featured in The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune today.
Here’s the weird part: In my other blog, I used an image from a 1954 Pillsbury ad of a little girl enjoying a big piece of cake in the header graphic. The now 61-year old woman tracked down the Times reporter and contacted me, surprised to see her young image splashed on The New York Times.
I mean, what are the chances, right? I emailed her back and asked if I could do an interview with her via phone or email.
Kate Harding, who was also interviewed in the Times story, got an invitation to appear on The Today Show tomorrow to talk about fat acceptance. Unfortunately, it appears as if the tragic and untimely death of actor Heath Ledger has changed the show’s scheduling plans.
Sigh… I’ve been in secret love with Heath Ledger since Megan and I watched “10 Things I Hate About You” (which we saw about 20 times, btw – love that movie). Most recently, Brandon and I watched “Candy,” starring Ledger and Abbie Cornish. Most tragically of all, Ledger leaves behind an infant daughter.
Why couldn’t this happen to someone like, say, Ashton Kutcher?
