Bombshell For A Day: The Bunny Retro Pinups Experience
Have you ever wanted to do a complete pinup photography experience? If you’re in the Greater Toronto Area, Bunny Retro Pinups is the place for you! Since starting Kitty Canuck I’ve had the great fortune of meeting so many great female entrepreneurs. Alana Wagner of Bunny Retro Pinups is one of them.

After Chrissy Metz’s open letter to her teenage self, I thought it might be therapeutic to write a letter to past me. Strange right? But self-love is an ongoing process, so let’s keep an open mind.

I’m Kitty and I’m a happy fat girl. I know it almost seems like an oxymoron in today’s society, but fat is just a word. You only give power to words through the way you react to them. I have fat on my body — I am not defined by my fat. If someone wanted to write me off simply for having fat then it’s no loss to me, but entirely their loss for not getting to know my awesomeness.
