[No. 1] (Aug. 2005)-

Issue for Aug. 2005 lacks numbering but constitutes no. 1.

This perzine talks about being a fat, queer, biracial Latina and the discrimination that comes with each label. Shannon, a recovering bulimic, shares personal stories about intimacy and body image, Camptrans, and being stalked while she was an exchange student in Amsterdam. Visual images include photographs, photobooth photos, art, and clip art. Issue two addresses Shannon's difficult relationship with a man, discrimination for identifying as femme in both straight and queer communities, her personal fat politics, and how her Latina identity informs her being fat. This zine contains cut and paste and a photograph of author Shannon and her friend Andie Lyons, the author of Already Too Much, Never Enough showing off their stomach tattoos. Issue three was created after the author moved from Denver to Seattle, which she describes as "the catalyst [she's] needed to start thinking about some things in new and exciting ways." She discusses anti-capitalism, her relationship with God, her foray into the world of medication and self-care, and an update on her breakup. The author also looks at cultural appropriation and attending a fat positive event called Fat Girl Speaks '07.
