🍗 Deathfat Tess Holliday / Ryann Maegen Hoven - Beached Landwhale model, Body positive and social justice snacktivist, and gigantic fraud

[Umaibae]

I make it a point not to buy athleisure clothes from companies who market to deathfats, but I gotta say, they do seem to be strong and well-made. Still won’t buy, but it’s impressive they don’t explode when she takes a breath.

Guess we’ll have to wait for her heart to do that.

I also make a point to not buy workout clothes from brands with lardass models and anything above, like, XL. Maybe 2XL, because fats gotta (please) wear something and if they’re trying to lose weight, good on them.

Would love to compile a list here of “good” workout brands — and bad ones as well. I need new shit.

Good brands (aka no fat models): Alo Yoga, Spiritual Gangster, Carbon 38 (their shiny line is cool AF)

Bad brands I will never buy from: Outdoor Voices, Girlfriend Collective, Athleta

Ash FatLip is already on it.
As for brands, we can revive zeppelin industry with material InfiniFit use for their leggings

These are the leggings. Tess says she's wearing a 3x in the top and leggings, and the jacket is a 4x (because she likes them roomy). Um.. she should be wearing at least a 4x, and the 4x jacket doesn't look like it'll zip up on her. How long until she sizes out, and what excuse will she have when she can't fit them any more?

I mean, I shouldn't be surprised — but wow Two Ton Tessy's skincare routine sucks. It's full of "trendy" brands that rely on low-tier ingredients and a bunch of shitty filler.

Tess has the most god awful pockmarked and red cheeks and nothing in her routine does anything to address it. She claims to use multiple eye products, but her product list is strangely devoid of anything restorative or moisturizing. She has something with squalene, which is basically olive oil and not going to do much for her skin in the state it's in.

Also, as a white woman, she needs to be paying attention to things like freckles and other "staining" of the skin. Nothing she uses addresses this either.

I don't see anything with retinol. At her age and given the condition her skin is currently in, that should be a "must have" product. Retinol generates collagen, resurfaces skin, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and helps with texture.

That shit-tier combo sunscreen + moisturizer she uses would be fine for a teenager — but for a woman in her mid-thirties, it's probably doing more damage to her skin. IT'S ONLY SPF 30. Horrifying. White women should use nothing less than SPF 50 on their faces. I mean, look at these garbage ingredients. Yeah, real moisturizing /sneed



There's no night cream, no base moisturizer like a hyaluronic acid, no quality oils — nothing the skin of a middle-aged white woman in dry-ass Southern California would need. Her skin is probably dry and thirsty all the fucking time.

As far as her "pore-tightening toner," she's a perfect poster child to show it's absolute garbage. We've all seen her pores. The product itself is, again, garbage suited for teenagers. Tess needs a more robust exfoliant, like lactic acid or mandelic acid.

Niacinamide would do her wonders.

tl;dr Tess' skincare sucks, and her skin is proof of this lol. It's just a bunch of shitty eye creams and Insta-worthy products for teenage skin that provide no benefits for a middle aged woman's skin.

White people need sunscreen. Everyone needs sunscreen, but especially us pale white folk. Sun damage is invisible, until it isnt. Then when it becomes visible, it is too late to do much about it other than lasers, peels, c02 ablation, etc. It is expensive to try to fix but can be completely prevented. It isnt just the sun but computer screens, tablets, phones etc that give off light and if you use these things outdoors, you can get damage because they act like a mirror and reflect harmful uv light to your skin.

Just thought I’d point out the insane pixelation, magical bloating bricks and wiggly wobbly wall in Two Ton’s Flabletics shoot lol.

Sweaty Betty, Zella, Vuori (caveat: I don't actively follow any of these companies on social media and can't say for certain that they've never partnered with/tried to woo massive fatties). Skechers brand workout leggings are also surprisingly awesome.

Anyway, in honor of Halloween and anorexia, here's a throwback pic of skelly Tess:

Skechers...I like their shoes, didn't know they made leggings and such.

I refuse to buy from any company that sponsors Tess. I think Fabletics has cute stuff, but I'm not putting a cent in her pocket. Same with any skincare line.

The difference in “guest” pricing, VIP/member pricing, and then the sale price discount was huge. I wonder how they can sell 2 for $24 when retail guest is $90. There's a few issues I have with a few brands Tess shills, regardless of whether I can buy them here. Like you, I wouldn't, because Tess.

Sweatshops and literal slave labour bothers me, so does fast fashion. It comes from China/various poor countries and is cheap for a reason. The thing is, even with Tess and her BIPOC spergery, if any of her brands (Bloom Chic = Shein rubbish etc.) were made this way, I doubt she'd care. Then again, she's pretty empty, so I doubt she thinks about it at all and would shill the fuck out of it for a desperate dollar. Realistically, it appears she only cares about people of a minority if she knows them irl, because she does fuck all aside from insta post.

Bit of a rant maybe. Sorry.

Isn't the membership fee nearly $50 a month or am I misunderstanding? Because that plus the perceived 2 for $24 "deal" probably makes it profitable versus the flat $90 for a pair of leggings for a guest. It's sort of ingenious but also sketchy.

Maybe it’s something like fast food places, that have pricing like “Mini size of X - $3, Medium size - $6, Big size $7”, where medium option exists solely to give a nudge for big option.
Except there is no Medium here; customer sees “guest price”, and goes all “ooooh, I’m going to save hyuuge monies on this one”, when no one actually pays this price. Scheme like that works for MLM ladies, who get hooked on the company prices - “ooh, I’d better become a consultant, I’m going to save sooo much”
And they all forget to add subscription/fee/whatever cost.

 

[Oscar Winner]

My understanding is you pay $50 a month, but get it back in store credit. Wouldn't take long before you had a mountain of clothes. It is a pretty clever way to guarantee a customer for a while though.

There was a huge controversy in the 90s of brands using children in sweatshops to make clothing and shoes (The Gap and Nike being the ones that stand out in my mind the most). I’m genuinely surprised that this issue isn’t talked about more (not even bringing up the environmental impact). All this polyester shit has to come from somewhere and you know the kid making it isn’t making $15 an hour, Tess.

I understand that a lot of obese people buy athletic wear just so it seems that they're working out and stuff, but what is really the best stuff for them to wear to work out in? I don't know much about athletic wear admittedly, so I'm legitimately curious.

Nothing. Morbidly obese people who are trying to improve their health should focus almost solely on weight loss at first. Going for walks is a great way to get outside and move, but honestly anything more strenuous than *existing* puts tremendous strain on their bodies. Obese people shouldn’t worry about taking up Crossfit or even going for a jog because they’re likely to injure something important and lose mobility altogether.

That’s not why they wear athleisure tho. They wear it because it stretches. For someone constantly gaining, unforgiving fabrics are basically one or two time use. Yoga pants might survive a bit longer than denim. Also I think psychologically they are attracted to athletic wear as a way to subconsciously signal that they are hulthy n shit.

 

[Gay Mouth]

Think of the feeling of her gunt pulling down all the time. Think of how it pools around her no matter what she’s doing or what position she’s in.

She wears skintight stretch material because it’s like having all her rolls bandaged up tight against her. It’s probably comfortable, if Tess is even capable of comfort in any capacity.

Keep in mind her painful looking bound biceps are always bound that tight- in skin.

 

[My cravat doesn't flutter]

I can see her panties. I thought a big selling point on work out pants is that they're not thin enough to show underwear.

I know Tess is stretching the thing as far as it can be stretched but she's getting paid for this.

Slimy-faced spokesmodel + slimy advertising (2 pairs of leggings for $24 - when you sign up for a $60/mo membership) = a match made in heaven.

Ahh, I have been lusting after Sweaty Betty stuff for a while! So expensive to ship here, but they have cute stuff.

Looks like Tess has been triggered again about her Anorexia doubters. Approx 2.5 minute rant of her being a sarcastic, smarmy bitch. Bonus eye rolls, calling people “basic” and “yunno, iT's ScIeNcE!!1!”. Imagine her turning even a touch of that attitude on people she was working with/for, no wonder her career is over. Still saying she only eats one meal a day, lol, we've seen her Instagram, she's always eating. How does she think it's believable that she's huge, “diagnosed anorexic”, and rapidly getting fatter?
I bet there's some gold in the comments, but I cbf reading through them.

 

[Smiling Honeybadger]

Can't claim to be a therapist for eating disorders, but if I see my atypical anorexic shooting pass the BMI stages for obesity like a rocket ship into uncharted territories of fatness, I would take it as a sign that something with the "recovery" is going very severely wrong.

Are in Tess' "one meal a day" all the snacks, ice cream, cakes, sugary drinks, and so on included?! No need to answer, I think we know the answer...
