What good is a brigade if we don't know who the members are?
We are not a brigade of three. Pfft!—that's just silly. We know there are more of you out there. We know because we get hits and some of you link to us. We know because we see you every day, walking, eating, talking, being cool, pulling out the front of your shirt when you sit down because you think somehow that hides your tummy, and looking at skinny chicks and realizing that their diet of raw broccoli and notebook paper is no way to live. Yes, yes—we are stalking you.
And now we want to be able to put a face with a name (or, uh, IP address).
Here's what you need to do:
1. Submit a photo of yourself. We won't get TO'ed if you don't send us full body shots or anything you're uncomfortable with. (I had over 40 photos taken—BY MY 8 YR OLD DAUGHTER, NO LESS—before I found one I was marginally happy with—thank goodness for digital cameras!) If you own a CGB tshirt, wear it. If not, don't sweat it, but please, for the love of all that is holy, wear SOMETHING. We get enough perverts looking for porn as it is.
2. Answer the following:
Required:
Name
Birthday
Go-to food for stress relief
Optional:
URL
AIM, MSN, or Yahoo! Screenname
Something random about yourself that even your mother doesn't know
Last time you wore a size 12
Last book you read
Your signature dish (include a recipe, please)
Anything else you need to confess that can posted on the world wide web
3. Send your photos and your responses to: [email protected]
Also, since we're equal-opportunity, we'll accept photos from men and skinny chicks as well, but be prepared to be mocked. Especially if you're skinny. And if you list your go-to food for stress relief as anything but raw broccoli or notebook paper, I'm photoshopping devil horns on your sorry head.

FYI—Other upcoming new things that are in the works:
A message board
Downloadable iron-ons
A weekly CGB chat (where we will post the best parts on the site)
Buttons and icons for y'all to post on your own sites proclaiming your CGB membership

has anyone else heard of or tried this trick. A whole lot of us lovely large ladies have had the pleasure of our tights/stockings/nylons making a kind of scratchy noise when we glide across the floor. It's like having your own twisted theme music that accompanies your every step. Try this: put your hose on INSIDE OUT!Oh my god it works! No more leggings under my skirt- well, except for when I want to dress up like Molly RIngwald! ZAFTIG SISTAS!!

Ok My Name is Dorothy I am 48 and PHAT. As a matter of fact you can see with my email address that I am not only accepting of my girth but I am totally loving with my self and think PHAT is HOT. Skinny is ok but it AINT necessary.
Ok my go to food is Dove dark chocolate. I also love Cashews and I eat them even though they hurt me. (I have diverticulosis, or diverticulitis when I have a flare up)
My favorite think to do is play on the computer and I have a laptop tablet pc whick I actually named my chesttop because I lay in bed at night with it on or near my chest and SURF SURF SURF. I just bought an HP IPAQ that is wireless and I like it alot too.
