About F.A.T.A.S.S.
The Fat Action Troupe AllStar Spirit Squad was started in Feburary of 2003 at a meeting about the upcoming event FatGirl Speaks. A radical cheerleading group was suggested and everyone was enthusiastic.
The cheerleaders practiced in basements, living rooms, driveways and backyards. Pom pons were ordered and T-shirts arrived and F.A.T.A.S.S. performed for the first time on May 3rd, 2003 at The Hollywood Theatre
in Portland, Oregon in front of 500 people.
It is a mighty thing to behold a group of
Fat Cheerleaders whopping it up, shouting about injustices and the importance of loving your body.
We all highly recommend it.
