size ate: an extended clip from the show

How many of us have thought that things would be better if we could just be the perfect size 8? 10? 12? The perfect ... whatever?

Margaux Laskey's one-woman show, size ate, chronicles this futile quest for measured perfection and -- in a unique blend of monologue, poetry, and song -- illustrates the often opposing internal and external forces that drive us to obsession, addiction, and ultimately, something like self-acceptance.

From a wholesome childhood of s'mores, tuna casserole, and caramel apples ... to her first Slim-Fast diet at age 13 ... to her haunting anorectic encounter with the ubiquitous restaurant bread basket ... size ate takes you on a non-linear journey through her adventures in body, food, and culture.

By turns heartbreaking and hysterically funny, size ate is one woman's honest commentary on -- and coming to terms with -- the labels, images, and assumptions we all live with.
