22.01.2022 IS THIS SPOT YOUR SPOT? Were on the lookout for staff to help us at our beautiful weddings and events around Melbourne town. We work out of warehouses, gardens, farms, breweries, bars, backyards and wineries, where youll be preparing and serving fresh, fabulous tucker to our wonderful clients and their guests, before heading back to our HQ in Nunawading to clean and pack everything away, and share a bevvie with your new work buddies. If youd like to cook, dance, laugh and eat with us on the weekends, apply right here, right now

21.01.2022 This particular adventure has already started, but it is also only beginning. It kicks off with this preposterous prose on my first internet dating profile: In my imaginary life, I ride an old Honda motorcycle. Wearing goggles, a stripy scarf and red Wonder Women boots, I get all the green lights - I’m lucky like that. I used to be the girl who jumped out of the cake but now I make the cake and the dough and the rules. . The idea was to get the fellas to imagine an imaginary ...version of an imaginary person in the hope that I will become their imaginary ladyfriend. Curiosity got the better of some, and I had a dalliance or two. Generally though, most thought, On a scale of 1 to ten, this chick is bonkers. Fair enough, they’re right. Next up was this snappy script . Sweet as a peach, Salty as the Mediterranean . Hahahahaha. Do you like to get wet nudge nudge wink wink. Have you got boobs? Idiots. But one swiped it good and we recently moved into The Love Nest together. We met on a crisp evening under Welcome to Thornbury’s welcome lights that glistened over the soaked street. He smiled with his eyes and I knew I was done. And now . FAT AND AKINNY ARE GOING TO BE THE EVENT CATERERS AT WELCOME TO THORNBURY CELEBRATING ALL THE LOVE ALL THE TIME . To cement our friendship, I organised a crew of the bestest wedding makers and got some photos to show off the recently revamped warehouse site. I used my handsome brother Paul as click bait, and along with his glorious girlfriend Ana, they got pretend married. We all had so much fun playing dress ups, and doing craft and having a laugh in between lockdowns. The warehouse wedding space is called The Greenhouse, and if you want to wine and dine in there with us, contact the dudes at Welcome To Thornbury or the Venues We’ve Got The Horn For’ webpage (https://www.fatandskinny.com.au/welcome-to-thornbury) . I am so freakin’ excited about this. What an amazing opportunity the dudes at Welcome to Thornbury have given me. I can’t wait to get down there slingin’ out good tucker and celebrating the shit outta life with them.

21.01.2022 PANCAKE TUESDAY? WOW THAT REALLY CREPED UP ON US... Also known as Fat Tuesday, today is a great day for indulging in all the good stuff in life- like pancakes. According to Christian storytelling its the the day to load up on all your favourite things. Maybe it should be called Get Fat On Tuesday, which personally Id like to bring in on the regular

21.01.2022 Spag Bog? Sketty? Spagootch? Spagoopa? Spehgs? Whats your favourite pasta dish- Im doing a little research for an idea Ive had..... Cute felt pasta animation by @andreaanimates

20.01.2022 Happy sweet sixteen to us Such a pleasure to have fed yall for all these years. Hip hip hooray! Gold and Grit Photography

19.01.2022 Aussie slang for "have you had dinner?" and I think that's bloody lovely.

19.01.2022 When I say I love the love as much as I love the food, I mean it. Its not even a little bit creepy.

19.01.2022 Melbourne is chock a block with fabulous vendors that will do everything and anything to make your wedding day beaut. Were so lucky to work with top sorts every week, and have a list of our most faves on our website. These are the dudes that will pitch in and lend a hand no matter what - like that time our makeshift kitchen at kitchen at The Line was overrun with furniture gurus, sparkle makers and sweet treaters helping out with a special event in Jan (more on that later, yah) You can find these magical people via the link below. Go on, you could find the answer to the next question on your wedding to do list.

19.01.2022 It all started out with happy endorphins and quickly reduced to making bagpipes with a recorder and a garbage bag. It is the best, being a mum, it is also the worst. Its the funniest, most loving and messy responsibility of my life. I love being a Mum, and have been one for half of my life - just over two decades. But, motherducker, motherhood is THE strangest hood youll ever know and some days are just ridiculous: . Wake up with a regular sleep in, but without the slee...p. Stand on Lego. Mum, why does you vagina have a moustache? A story about coffee getting cold. Stop. Why? Shaky Parmesan is not snow. Why? Let play Cops and Roberts. Ill be Roberts. I dont always have time to put the washing away but when I do I dont. Muuuuuuum. Ive finished my poo. Mum, when can we get another baby. Why? But, why? Triangles not squares. Carrot stick is NOT touching the bread. Where are your pants? Why? Waiting for the end of the story. Im gonna get the bad guys. For twenty metres. Where are your pants? Mum! You are going over the speed minute. MUM! Fat penises! No mate, theyre sausages. Mum. MumMumMumMuumMuuuuuuum. Where are your pants? Why? Oh look, its mums last nerve, Lets touch it. Why? These FAT penis sausages take like hair. Then go ahead and starve. Why? Daily spa treatment from the dishwasher steam. Ruin someones day by asking them to brush their teeth. Beds are made for sleeping not jumping. Because I said so thats why. No one said life is fair. Why? Twinkle, twinkle little star. Here come the monsters, rah, rah, rah. Bedtime: the leading cause of dehydration in children. Use Mum Voice. Watch shows with rude words. Enjoy weeing alone. Snacks MUST NOT make a crinkling sound. Mum? Mmm? I just want a house with no cracks and a flying fox. Time to go back to bed, mate. Why? Cos its nighttime Why? Because the sun has gone down and the moon has come up. Why? Because long ago someone left with the cup. Why? Cos its good for us to rest, honey. Love you all the way to the moon and back a million times. Sleep well mate. Why? See more

19.01.2022 We helped with a thing. A fabulous, colour-filled creative thing orchestrated by Good Day Rentals, Shannyn Higgins and Good Grace & Humour plus a bunch of us fun lovin wedding people who every now again want a turn at making our own fantabulous event. I loved getting to know more people, catching up with others, helping fluff stuff up, cook for everyone, and generally be very happy to be there. As they are the greatest, Good Day Rentals did the design, planning, styling and ...furniture and photobooth backdrop - and worked up the concept with fellow wedding creatives Shannyn Higgins + Good Grace & Humour to produce a barrel room wedding that was a bit different. Its got a six metre waterfall made of peppercorn, so reckon they ticked that box! Its now live on the blog at WedShed (thanks dudettes!) Special thanks to these rad dudes who work in the same circles as us.

17.01.2022 Stick with the people who pull the magic out of you, not the madness.

16.01.2022 This was the hardest post to write. I could say so much. Nearly a lifetime of words. Today is Sheilas last day at Fat and Skinny. Nothing is wrong, nothing weird or bad happened, were still friends, she just wants to do other cool stuff like help the teenagers with her extraordinary ability make people feel important, and teach more yoga and not work weekends, and garden more and not drive 4 million kilometers a week from her Yarra Valley home. Its wonderful. The... more Sheilsy being being fabulous Sheilsy in the world, the better the world is. The story wont change. The hilarious story of two mates who hated normal work and had baby kids and needed a buck. We have had SO SO much fun together. She is loyal, patient & hard working, funny, kind & gangster AF. I will always cherish her commitment - supporting my dream of creating a life not just a living, securing financial independence as a single parent, and building a business that fuels my soul. Thank you my beautiful friend. You are amazing. We are amazing x See more

16.01.2022 We take the business of merry-making very seriously, but we dont take ourselves very seriously at all. These wedding lords and us took care of Stevie and Sams celebrations like the pros we are. We were referred to today as the "The Royal Family of Candy Coated Neon F*ckery", which quite frankly is the best thing Ive ever been called. Ever. Family photo -back to front left to right Fat and Skinny Catering, Good Day Club (Rad stylists), Marry Me Dee (Gorgeous celebrant), @verygoodproducts (maker and doer man), @lunar_red_films (Eye Candy videographer) and Good Grace & Humour (premium flozzer)

16.01.2022 Hello, hello and a big thankyou to all the lovely people whove reached out in the last couple of months offering help and encouragement. It seems some of you might have been nearly as heartbroken as me if Fat and Skinny just conked out from corona. What an inglorious and flaccid ending for my spirited small business. Pfft, No. So, like the little train that could, I thought I could, and I thought I could aaaand - Choo Choo, motherfuckers! - we are going to be okay. All the... messages, the little gifts and roses from the garden, the texts, the comments and the likes were like steam in my engine. But, I could still do with a little hand, if youre up for it. I promise it will be mostly fun and you wont die. Heres how you can help if youre down for it: Ive made a nifty new page on the website where you can sign up for the skinny on Fat Chat. What is Fat Chat? I hear you say. Well, its the love letters we send out via the email machine filled with tall tales, romantic recounts and amusing annals. Its a fancy way of saying email newsletter. Which it is, but its not shit. It would be ace if you could sign up, then when I email you next week/month/whenever, Id love it if you could forward it onto anyone you think might like a bit of Fat and Skinny friendliness engaged couples, people having a birthday, the person organising the work Christmas party. Most of our work comes through word of mouth, and this would definitely help blow some smoke up our pipes. This is the link - www.fatandskinny.com.au/fat-chat Truthfully though, without you, an online community of comrades, colleagues, companions, chums, compatriots and consorts, I would have really struggled. Its been pretty hard, but its not the first time Ive had the rug pulled out from under me, and probably not the last time Ill work my ringer off for something thats worth it. And this is worth it. I wouldnt have the magic life I do without my work. Its the foundation for my livelihood, my creativity, my nerdy intrigue, my meaningful connection with the wider world, and my extraordinary fascination with love stories. Thanks for giving a shit, it made a difference. It really did.

15.01.2022 A STORY ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I needed to clean the oven, but this story popped into my head. Its got ups and downs and arounds, its probably better than some of the fodder on offer, but it still procrastination. BACK STORY: You see, just before the pandemic with a recession for dessert happened, I bought a new grown-ups house. One that will fit me and the kids and My Boyfriend (Much Serious. Very Love ). And it has a pooooool! Naturally, to afford this I need to sel...Continue reading

14.01.2022 My main business goal is to do cool shit with cool people. Last Thursday night I invited my coolest mates from the work and we shared dinner. This is the little speech I gave: Firstly, Id like to thank everyone for coming. Like anyone throwing a party, the nerves are as real for event workers as they are for everyone else. Im so grateful to share my working life with you wonderful people and am rapt to share a meal with you. Thank you all so much for your support ...and recommendations. Like that little saying goes, every time a small business gets a booking we do a little happy dance. What a wonderful industry we get to share in together. Id also like to thank the people that helped put this together. The set-up you see tonight is a collaboration between Betty May Vintage Hiree and Good Day Club. We want to ease the pinterest perfection stress level and help create beautiful, achievable and more colourful reception options that are less wanky. Our ideas are suited to those wanting to throw an affordable big party to celebrate falling in love without breaking the bank or their brains. It is so much fun sharing the love of this industry with like minded creatives who share the same values as us. A special shout out to Torte by Mirjana for the cakes and personalized fortune cookies, Megs from Good Grace & Humour for the floral fabulousness, Lucy, Tess and Brendan from Small Talk Event Space for the venue, Kat and Scout from Itsbeautifulhere for the photography, and the divine Carlos from Lunar Red Films for the video action. And to everyone who text or called to offer help. Id also like to thank the team that works with me day in day out to make this night, and in fact my whole life, possible. You guys rock my world and Im delighted to be in the trenches with you x See more

13.01.2022 Even though we are all at work in the same building, Jen frequently sends quick snaps of whats happening in her hood, usually the bar. We get to have a squiz from another view - the charming light at Glasshaus Inside, a rando new friend shes made, the back of a beautiful wedding dress, the crowd listening eating and dancing. . I love remembering weddings from these little pics of the fun & love we see from a staff point of view. This is photo of Kate and Paul at their wed...ding just two weeks before we had to stop partying for a bit. Really digging deep to cope with my WDS (Wedding Deprivation Syndrome). . I cannot wait until I can honour the importance of wedding days and the significance of the commitment people make to each other again. Falling in love and making a public commitment in front of everyone you love and creating new little families has been celebrated by people for forever. Weddings matter to the very idea of being human love and connection is our founding survival instinct that means we are alive in the first place. Weddings matter. I want to be part of the best fucking days ever again proper, knees up ,deserving celebrations of love where we can kiss, hug, smile big, wipe happy tears, eat food at bustling tables, share a bevvie, dance arm in arm, be together again.

13.01.2022 The big food we order have such industrious names - buckets, wheels, boxes ,sacks, pallets. It sounds like Im about to present on playschool along with my giant pots, Big Bertha and her sidekick, Suzie, in my colorful outfit complete with double apron combo. Or perhaps I am channeling my inner Nonna

But you go nuts GOOD DUDES STEPHEN FRYS NEWEST PODCAST An antidote to the guilt and shame of sinning. Due to my religious background, I oft get a case of The Catholics.

After this weeks lesson in Catholic sinning, this podcast makes me feel human again Find him here Stephen Fry or the podcast here https://podcasts.apple.com//stephen-frys-7-de/id1365035136 CATHERINE DEVENYS FREE WRITING COURSES I have done a few courses and bits and bobs with Catherine, including her giving a speech at my shop opening party. If you enjoy what I write, or find it palatable, or at least readable, some of that is thanks to the courage Catherine gave me to write and write and write, and how to get out of my own way to do that. These courses are delivered with humour, vulnerability, wisdom and skill, with a side dish of shit or get of the pot. You can find her and the course info here Catherine Deveny GOOD IDEAS Touch my base in the DM machine if youve seen something cool or have something cool to share. I like good nice stuff

08.01.2022 VOORPRET: pre-fun Hows this Dutch word for the joy or pleasure in anticipation of the actual fun event? Or as I like to call it Friday Night Fever. Poppin fizzers like Natalie and Brandon between their ceremony and reception at Glasshaus Inside I reckon were all going to feel voorpret when actual fun events can happen again. Imma ready to pop and squirt all over the place. Luckily, I have this ripper shot by @aleksandarjasonweddings to remind me of the joy and pleasure coming soon.

06.01.2022 WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WEREN’T AFRAID? One of the great advantages of being a round person is it is the perfect shape for floating. On Saturday afternoon I was in the pool, floating and daydreaming about the last time I felt this vulnerable, and what helped overcome the fear of not knowing what’s coming next. Around five years ago I was coming out of a very sad spell and struggling to manage single parenthood. I wanted relief from the financial distress. Not loads of ca...Continue reading

I have lived a charmed life because I am Australian. I do not take this for granted, nor do I underestimate the struggle of our indigenous people. I am the first generation born here after my grandparents and parents immigrated from Holland following WW2, and as a family we have lived in a paradise filled with safety, health, good food, clean water, and beautiful people galore. We are truly lucky. Please enjoy this little photo of me in my Aussiest outfit eating pav

02.01.2022 The wonderful 70s wedding dinner Angi and James served up a serious stash of that decades delights. I researched loads of fantastical and oft gross conglomeration of foods. In the end, my list of amazements resulted in combinations of recipes that made me feel like the willy wonka of weddings. First off, a pineapple with toothpicks loaded with tasty cheese, kabana and cocktail onions. It was ART, baby! Then a fondue pot to share. Three cheeses and whit...e woine to dip in giant croutons, asparagus spears, pickled cukes and baby rainbow carrots. For the roaming entree we cooked up spam burgers with pineapple chutney, devilled eggs with bloody mary pearls, and vou la vents filled with Steak Diane. Mains included maple meatloaf, smoked cauliflower cheese, creamy mash fashioned into wee wedding cakes and peas, corn & carrots set in roast chicken flavored jellies. These sort of kooky ideas are so much fun to be involved in. If you have a themed event comin up and want some willy-wonka-like action, be sure to hit us up.

01.01.2022 I found a new word! BALTER To balter is to dance gracelessly but with enjoyment.... Thats me. I love a boogie, I really do. But I can get super embarrassed about people watching me. I reckon we all do sometimes. Nobody likes feeling like a fool. In high school, my most darling buddy was a terrifically bad dancer. Like T-Rex trying to fuck a door knob. Hideous. But he didnt give two shits. He continued to shimmy away delighted by the music and moving his body and you know what - HE NEVER LOOKED LIKE A FOOL. Not once. His joy was contagious, he looked like he was having fun, no one mocked him (except for me of course #arsehole). And he still dances. We still dance together. In fact hes now a legit DJ getting paid to create music magic. So, whenever I feel self conscious about dancing, I remind myself that Im not so important that people are watching and Im not so shit that people will laugh. Because no one looks stupid when theyre having fun. See more
