These Body Positive Throw Pillows Are What Your Home Needs

If you are a body positive warrior, there are plenty of ways to show it, like with Tess Holliday’s new #effyourbeautystandards tee. You can even show your love for the movement when it comes to decorating your home. Rachele Cateyes is an artist and body positive activist who lives in Portland, Oregon. She started a pro-inclusivity line of pillows, mugs, bags and more that she cheekily dubbed “Glorifying Obesity” that promotes self-acceptance. When we asked her about the inspiration behind her art, she told us, “All fat people deserve to be treated fairly whether or not we meet arbitrary health or beauty standards. The body positive movement should be inclusive and doesn’t require fat people to justify their behaviors.”

There are some out there who might recoil at the use of certain words like “fat” or “obese” when describing the body positive movement, but that’s all part of Rachele’s bigger picture. Like any disenfranchised group reclaiming slurs or derogatory terms, that is Rachele’s objective — to reappropriate these terms and use them in a positive way. “Glorifying Obesity is about reclaiming fatphobic words and challenging the good fatty trope,” Rachele tells us. “Surrounding ourselves with positive and empowering fat art, like a throw pillow that says Death Fatty, makes it easier to navigate this world as a fat person.”

Oh, and Rachele also happens to create some badass body-positive art. She has very handily put her work on some adorable throw pillows ($29) you can purchase online at Redbubble, which, frankly, every home deserves. House-warming gift, anyone?

Check out some of the awesome designs below.

We asked her what she hopes people would take away from her art, and her message was simple. “Take up space. Eat whatever you want. Be vain. Flaunt your rolls. F–k the haters,” says Rachele. Yaas, girl.

Body shaming is for bums. And though we’d like to imagine a world rid of unwarranted hate – especially hate towards the way somebody looks – it still runs rampant in the celeb world. That’s why we’re thankful that Lizzo exists. She doesn’t skip a *single* beat to shame body shamers, and her outlook on body image gives us endless reasons to be confident in our own. And though there’s no excuse for criticisms like this to even happen in the first place, we can all learn a thing or two from the icon’s responses to the haters.

Lizzo Live Tribute to Tina Turner

Most recently, the singer-songwriter and rapper publicly slammed a hater that had put her size under fire. The lowlife tweeted a video of Lizzo’s tribute performance to the late Tina Turner, writing “How is Lizzo THIS fat when she’s constantly moving this much on stage?! I wonder what she must be eating 🤣.”

Replying with fierce aggravation (and rightfully so), Lizzo asserted that she’s “tired of explaining” herself and “seeing [her] name in some bulls–t.” Valid.

“I’m not trying to be fat,” she explained. “I’m not trying to be smaller. I’m literally just trying to live and be healthy. This is what my body looks like even when I’m eating super clean and working out!” Which is a wonderful reminder of the beautiful differences between all women’s bodies – that should be *celebrated* not hated.

Moving past the mindset that smaller = better *still* proves to be a challenge for society, and there’s no doubt that women get the roughest of the rough of it. Lizzo has always been one for the girls – uplifting positive messaging about body confidence, and quickly shutting down the haters that have something to say about it.

“I know I’m not the only person who experiences extreme negativity thrown at them from the internet — there are people in high school right now who have a whole high school talking about them, and they don’t know how they’re going to get through it,” Lizzo told Vanity Fair in 2022. “So if they can see me get through it on the level and the scale I’m experiencing it, maybe they’ll think they can get through it too.”

Lizzo - About Damn Time & Special (Live at the 65th GRAMMY Awards)

In an IG Reel she posted yesterday, Lizzo showed us again why we’re so lucky to have a star like her at this moment in time.

“I don't just speak up for me, I speak up for everybody, man,” she said on-stage. “Somebody tried to tell me, ‘well [hate] comes with the territory.’ No – this should never come with the territory of being a person, a human being, of existing.”

In a slew of comments, many fans (that can relate to the internet-driven negativity) thanked Lizzo for being so open about all the hate.

“Thank you so much for posting this,” one fan wrote. “After being literally bodyshamed for wearing a Yitty Catsuit at your Sacramento Concert by a random girl, I forgot who the f—k I was for a second!! You always inspire me to be real with myself and not let the haters phase me!! We are trailblazers, and you are an absolute leader and queen to us all 🥹💘💘”

Unsought negative comments will always be a thing, but what matters is how we deal with them.

“The love definitely do not outweigh the hate on social media,” Lizzo said. She admitted she’s close to “giving up on everyone and quitting and enjoying [her] money and man on a f–king farm.” Which honestly, sounds like the move.

Need an outfit for an upcoming wedding? How about a beach-front dinner? Or tropical destination vacation? Well this one clothing item can take you to all those places and more — slip dresses. They're tried and true, timeless and stylish, and functional and fashionable. And hey, Carrie Bradshaw boldly rocked one, very classically coined "the naked dress."

If you've seen the return of the naked dress trend, you're not alone. Even Sex and the City's Kristin Davis posted a cheeky little throwback of herself in a slip dress to "relive trends." And while the current dresses aren't that different from their predecessors, slip dresses really do come in so many different styles. From your typical black satin slip dress to a fun halter, blue slip, here are my favorite options for staying on trend now — and when it inevitably comes back around again. 😉

Shop Slip Dresses Here!

This simple black, satin slip will be great for so many occasions whether you want to dress it up or down with sandals; options are endless here! Plus it's listed at only $28! Talk about a bargain!

Reformation Aara Silk Dress

This blue silk number is #1 on my vacation wishlist. I think the lace detail is such a great nod to a vintage Chloe dress that Kendall Jenner was seen wearing this past year. Chic and timeless — my favorite combo!

Target Women's Lace Trim Maxi Slip Dress

The dark forest green color in this slip looks very elegant and luxe, but the price is very reasonable. This target slip dress is affordable yet stylish. I think this one would look great styled for a wedding with nude strappy, gladiator heels and a nude clutch.

Abercrombie Slip Asymmetrical Midi Dress

This Abercrombie dress might be one of my favorites on this list because of the stunning yet sexy detail on the lace on the ends. I think it would be styled perfectly for a night out or dinner with black pumps and a red lip!

Target Women's Midi Perfect Slip Dress In Pink

This Target pink slip dress is so versatile but it also has the bonus of having sizes from XS all the way up to XXXXL so it can fit many different body types. The color is also perfect for the summertime!

Reformation Provence Silk Dress

This dress had to be added to our roundup because it is such a popular and trending style at the moment. I've seen so many influencers and fashion girlies wearing it recently and I understand why! It's such a classic go-to style that is also very flattering. I love this one and will absolutely be getting it for myself, too!

Abercrombie Satin Slip Asymmetrical Midi Dress

Abercrombie is THE place to shop for any of your slip or satin dress needs. They have endless styles and so many cute options. I love this one because of the unique color and asymmetric shape of the slip. So cute and will be adding to my wishlist for sure!

Reformation Barrow Silk Dress

The blue color of this dress is so divine! The shape is also very flattering as well. I love Reformation for their silk dresses because they last so long and feel so high quality. I feel like a million bucks every time I wear one!

Abercrombie Scarf Slip Mini Dress

Another Abercrombie find that is too good to pass up. This one is donning a super chic style with the scarf around the neck. It looks like it belongs in a castle somewhere in France. Tres chic!!

J.Crew Petite Plume Women's Silk Cosette Nightdress With Lace

And to end, I thought I'd add this classic LBD with a typical slip style and a bit of lace on top. I love this one because it's an investment into your future wardrobe and will be worn for so many years to come.
