So, that Printed Cobalt dress I wore in the 3rd Fat Rant:
It’s from INES, a clothing line run by some friends of mine who have decided to hooook us UP, Internet. Let me tell you.
They’re giving me 2 pieces to raffle off to YOU, dear readers. All you’ve got to do is comment below, and on Dec. 4th I’ll use one of those handy random number generators like Gabi does to pick a winner!
The pieces up for grabs are the Deco Print Wrap Dress seen above and the Meridian Print Dress.
AND, they’ve hooked me up with a 40% off sales code for you too:

Spread it far and wide! , personally- I’m really into this Peacock print top: .
I’ll let you know what it’s like when it comes in…
I like that peacock print too. You know, the first fatrant changed my entire outlook on life. I have since learned to love and accept myself for who I am and to stop feeling bad about my weight. Keep making the world a better place Joy, one formerly self hating fat person at a time!
W00t! Sign me up! I love the INES stuff but haven’t been able to afford it yet. I would certainly love to win!
Thanks Joy!
I love the Deco Print dress – perfect for the party season!
I could not agree with Tiffany more. Joy you are a pretty fantastic woman,from your fashion sense to your wit. You’re pretty much a hero of mine
I love the Deco Print Wrap Dress, it is so adorable
I’m going to order something today!! As Tiffany said, I’ve finally learned to love and accept myself. I remember being the tall, fat, awkward girl with bad acne and a huge gap between her teeth while I was growing up. I walked with my head held down. I wore oversized clothing, way too much make-up, and I covered my mouth when I laughed. As I grew older, I got braces, my skin cleared up and you know what I was still tall and fat. One day I looked in the mirror and said you’re beautiful. I stopped wearing layers of make-up and layers of clothes. I learned to love the skin and the body that I’m in and I’ve never been happier. I hold my head up high and I refuse to let the opinions and judgment of others effect me. Thank you for fat rants. You’re an inspiration Joy
Sure, that would be a neat thing! But it’s really awesome that your Fat Rant was widespread enough that retailers see you as a person who reaches audiences they also want to reach.
Ooh! I want it! I’ve been longing for that dress ever since I saw the video.
Thank you to INES and to you Joy for doing this giveaway! I remember Fat Rant 3 . . . and I remember being so excited when I first saw it that I told dh all about it . . . rather rambled on, I’m afraid! LOL
A chance to acquire either of those dresses for free? Heck yes, I’m in.
I love the way the Deco Print dress looks on you – it’s seriously fantastic!
Niiice. I ordered from them before, based on the strength of your review in the fatshionista LJ community and was very pleased with the quality to price ratio. Count me in!
I’ve loved that dress when I saw you wear it, and I loved that Fat Rant video.
Love the clip, love the cute dresses… the fact that the wordpress preview gives me a link to gastric bypass… not so much love!
I have absolutely adored the Deco dress since the first time I saw you in it. Prints usually worry me, but it looks a-mazing. I keep telling myself that one day I will have one too, but still haven’t made it to said day.
Wow, fantastic! I think I’ll head over there for some shopping now… it’s the day after Thanksgiving, after all!
I’m in!
I came across your website thru the LJ fatshionista community. . . that dress is LOVELY. I don’t know how I can call myself a woman since I don’t even OWN a wrap dress. lol. I am tempted to just go and buy the dress, because with the coupon, it is only 50ish with shipping.
Both those dresses are gorgeous! Like Tiffany above, I also found your fat rants to be very eye-opening. I may still be a work-in-progress, but it sure beats standing still.
oh, good, i LOVE that dress!! it looks wonderful on you, and i love the video, too.
oooh i love the meridian print dress! but i ADORE the inverted pleat dresses, particularly the one with the bright red flowers.
I found your first fatrant on facebook awhile ago (has it been years already?), and sent it to everyone. LOVED IT. And I still think of it now, and am THRILLED to find that you’ve done more!! I hate on my own self a lot less, thanks to you.
Woo!
i have been lusting after those INES dresses for quite some time… Thanks for the code, and thanks for the chance to possibly win on!
xoxo
So that’s where that gorgeous blue dress is from! I’d been making do with the poor woman’s version from Old Navy. I’d link you, but alas… it’s no longer on the site.
The Deco Print dress is just gorgeous.
Here via Fatshionista.
The dress? HOT. I love the print too, it’s just lovely all around.
*crosses fingers*
Cool! I may have to snap up that peacock top.
These dresses are so pretty!
Awesome! They are beautiful dresses. :^)
What an awesome contest! I can only hope to fill out one of those dresses like you do! Keep on rockin’ it!
Thanks for the opportunity, I’d be thrilled to win one of those dresses! And if I don’t win, I’ll be almost as thrilled to buy one for myself, ’cause they’re gorgeous.
Thanks for your rants, too. I sent #3 to my mom… just a lil hint.

You are right, everybody looked so damn CUTE!!!! If I had known how hot I was I would have done more with it! ha ha ha You are right we need to live in the moment more and just have fun.

Hey Joy,
Just putting my name in for the draw.
I am a fat horseback rider and I have recently started an awareness/encouragement/resource blog for plus sized riders – I’ve posted your first fat rant in an entry that was about fat as a descriptive word and not a derogatory term. I’d love to chat more about your project and mine but understand you’re a busy gal!
Amanda
Squee! Love that dress!
How exciting! I love the Deco Print!
pick me like a nose!
Please enter me in the contest!
Lovin’ this blog and definitely enter me into this contest! =]
Love the dress! Your personality and advice is so empowering, thank you!
hey! i found you after stumbling onto your fatrant on youtube. thank you thank you thank you! you nailed my pet peeve about antrhopologie/h&m/you name it designer store – what is up with not having normal healthy sizes available? good luck!
wow…I’ve never heard of INES before. What a great intro. Thanks for your rants. They are awesome.
this site is amazing! i just stumbled across it today through gabi’s site. your message needs to be heard more often in the “mainstream”…whatever that means nowadays. great work and stay fabulous!
I love the videos. Thanks…is good to find beautiful people in this world. We all need it. And by the way…I’m fat because I cook so F…. GOOD and I love to eat!
ok, i’ll bite! would love to win, but mostly i just love your site.
I love your videos, I came across them from another blog called fatshopaholic. The last few minutes of your video was like the gospel to me, I still look at my prom picture and say why the hell was I so depressed back then I was cute as hell! You have to live life for today!
Oh and the contest, I would love either dresses, I dont wear them enough anyway, so I need to jumpstart my wardrobe.
Keep the videos coming they are truly inspiring.
I’ve got to toss my hat in — this diva needs to get herself some INES threads!
I love their clothes and you!!! You are fabulous!!! Thanks for all you do!!
Joy you are amazing. You have touched so many and empowered even more. You are asset to the plus community and a gift to the world.
Love you, love the dress, love the clothing line! You rock….
Ooh count me in.
That dress looks fantastic, both on you and the site, and I would LOVE to rock the hell out of it!
I LOVE that dress! Am I too late for the drawing?!
You are a gift to people everywhere. I am going to embed your videos on my site. I have been telling clients to watch you on youtube for the past six months or so since I discovered your genius gorgeousness. Thank you for doing what you can to free others from body hate. It is a horrible barrier to living life. People come to me for weight loss–they look at me like I am nuts when I tell them they need to love where they are, or they’ll never be comfortable with food. You are awesome–thanks for sharing your brilliance with everyone.
