F: is for Fat... or not!

I took off a week due to holidays and the new issue of the paper coming out. To see that go to: www.t2conline.com

We are so proud of this endeavor. We were given 10 newspaper boxes so we are officially legit and are a presence in Times Square!


With the death of Brittany Murphy, Margaux Laskey's previously acclaimed, award-winning and hilarious SIZE ATE returns to Off-Off-Broadway January 14 through January 16 for five (5) performances at the wild project (195 East 3rd Street – between Avenues A and B). Chronicling Ms. Laskey's humorous struggle with body and food issues she journeys towards self-acceptance. This is not just for women with "eating disordered." SIZE ATE explores universal themes of obsession, addiction, redemption and recovery through drama, song and imagery. Like the Dove billboard girls and plus-size model Crystal Renn's recently-released autobiography Hungry, offers a counter voice to the thin obsessed people like designer Ralph Lauren who fired Fillippa Hamilton, a 5'10" 120 pound model because she's "fat" and the supermodel Kate Moss who recently quipped, "Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels."

SIZE ATE premiered in NYC in November 2005, and won New York Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Solo Performance.
Since then, Ms. Laskey, a recovering anorexic and compulsive dieter, has toured the show performing at colleges and conferences - including Columbia University, Barnard College, Pace, and SUNY New Paltz - as an alternative and entertaining outreach tool. Using nine life-size body forms labeled with the dress sizes that she has been at one time or another in her life - 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. They serve as props, as punching bags, as dance partners, and the push and pull that tug at a woman's sense of self-worth.

"If you refuse to look at things the way the world tells you to see them, you realize that anything is possible. The possibilities for your happiness, for your life, are limitless. Infinite."

Each January performance will include a 30-minute post-show discussion and special guests.
