A Little Doubt Goes a Long Way

In response to Heather's question, and because I never have explained it on here:

When I mention "The CGB" I am talking about The Chubby Girl Brigade. Which started with an 2003 performance of Eric D Snider's to which Audrey, Zannah, and I planned to attend. Audrey referred to herself as "the chubby girl in the back with glasses" (or something like unto it), I referred to myself as "the chubby girl in the back with orange hair" (it was soon after my bad dyeing experience), and I believe Zannah referred to herself in the same basic way.
Laura said something like, "I'm sorry I'm going to miss the Chubby Girl Brigade" because she wouldn't yet be in town. Therefore the name was coined. Everyone loved it. It was decided that we should have shirts, haha. Jerilyn, being the awesome graphic designer chick she is, created cool logos that everyone voted on. Along with the hot shirt she sent everyone a membership card, magnets, a window cling, etc. (She's rad, what can I say?) And it was discovered she also created a website. ChubbyGirlBrigade.com is a blog-formatted site in which Jerilyn and GAF post almost-daily hilarious articles on everything from GAF's grey sweatpants and easily-breakable New Years Resolutions (#1- Travel To Mongolia) to the hatred of Rachael Ray ("perky little food whore".) They're great.



Every time I wear my CGB shirt out I am complimented at least 3 times. Usually more, never less. Which I think is great. It's a darling shirt and it shows that I am obviously not in some strange denial where I think I am a Paris Hilton-like thing --short, skinny, blonde-- when I know I haven't been THAT since I was 3-years-old:
