I love Europeans.  The respect for design.  The sophistication. The charcuterie.  I need more Europe in my closet.  I need thoughtfulness.  I need new cleaver concepts.  My biggest complaint with the plus industry has been unfocused concepts.  So many designers try to dress every fat girl and it always ends in an cheezy disaster.  Well, Carmakoma, a Danish line is very smart and dresses a specific girl in a specific color. 

Calling all Art School Rocker Betties (and I mean real betties, not the pretend betties that shop at Torrid), your all-black wardrobe is here!  I could buy out every last piece they've produced and be very happy with my closet. This line makes me want to dye my hair black.  I think I will.

I know I'm a demanding bitch, but when I buy a fashion magazine called Plus+ I want to see hot fat chicks wearing outfits that make me weep and fan myself like church on a summer sunday "Oh Lord!  I must have those threads. Heavenly Father!  I will go broke getting them, for they will change my life! AMEN!"  I want to read interviews with spectacularly interesting people.  I want to learn about sex, like how to minimize double chins while looking down at my man suckin on my toes.  I might even want to read a horoscope. 

Well, I did read Plus+ Magazine and I got none of this.  They say it's a magazine for size 16 and up, and yet there was no one over a size 12.  The graphics were atrocious.  The only good looking page was basically an Evans advertisement and I'm sure it was designed by Evans.  The rest of the Magazine looked like a template stolen from the Elder Care Weekly News Letter.  The articles were stale and colorless, the writing was sophomoric.  And you can't just take a picture of a hot chick,  slap Plus+ over it and call it a cover. 

There really isn't anything redeemable about this magazine, I'm sorry.

I wasn't going to do this cover.  It's not an easy song to sing and it's not really my vocal style.  But I figured if I get 100 requests for it, I should do it.  (yeah, that was me bragging.  deal with it.)

I changed the chords in the verses to relative minors.  (yeah, that was me bragging again.  eat it.)

This means I've finished Never Think, Let Me Sign, and now Flightless Bird.  There will be no more Twilight covers...unless i get into that Paramore song.  Great!  Seed planted.

Poker Face was such a hit, that I decided to keep the Gaga coming with this Extreme version of Love Games.  I figured out how to export an iMovie into Garage Band and add reverb and backing vocals.  So this is a special induction into the Accoustic Nati Youtube hall of fame.  enjoy.  

and by all means, go to YouTube and subscribe to my channel.

We filmed back in November of 2008 from Central Park to East Village to a dirty hotel room where we did unspeakable things that did not make the video.  I'm still doing Our FAthers and Hail Mary's to make up for it.

After gaining 80lbs in a sedate relationship, I've turned to writing and photography more while performing and modeling less.  I know, it's very un-plushus of me and you all love nati just the way she is, but a moment of insecurity revealed how much I love to write and take pictures.  Fear not, I haven't started watching soaps or anything, my YouTube page is still active and I'm moving to LA!  So I'm not being a total hermit.

I was lucky enough to interview fellow YouTuber and friend, Meghan Tonjes while she was in town for the 789 YouTube Gathering.  

You can read the article at Plus Model Magazine!!!  
And see more photos of Meghan trying on dresses at Lee Lee's Valise!

Enjoy and don't be too jealous of my awesomeness.
