Confessions Of An Obese Woman

The Sassistas!TM would like to acknowledge and thank Westsista who dished today's sass. I'm not much of an art critic, but I am a news junkie. When I saw the story headline, "Overweight Nude Sets Art World Record," I followed the link. I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. For a long time, I tried to figure out how I felt about it. Was I repulsed by it? Happy that a fellow obese woman was the model for such a highly valued painting? Disturbed by the idea that someone my size is being portrayed as a freak? It was auctioned for $33.6 million last month, setting the record for the most money ever paid for a painting by a living artist.
