Living Out Loud as a Plus-Size Woman

Heather Nelson: Living Her Dreams Until the End

All of us at Curvicality were saddened to learn of the sudden death of Heather A. Nelson this month. Before she died, she wrote this essay, which we share here as a remembrance of her. We offer our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved her. You can leave a kind comment for her loved ones. (We’ve included a link to her obituary at the bottom of this article.)

When Your Vagina is a Lot Like A Tractor

A friend is beginning a relationship that has all the markings of True Love.

Tooting While Dating: The Definitive Guide We All Secretly Need

Today, we must discuss one of the leading problems of our time: What to do about the fact that even though we all toot and we all know that we all toot, dating etiquette demands we take heroic measures to give the impression that we don’t? (Or poop, but that’s another column. I’ll get to it later. Hold it until then.)
