FREE Plus Size Clothing Swap with Gordita y Bonita!
2026-02-20 19:00 - 22:00 | Downtown LA
The Gordita Y Bonita Community Plus Size Clothing Swap is back and we are making space, making friends, and making fashion accessible.

This is more than a clothing swap. It is a safe space rooted in fat liberation, anti capitalism, Queer and BiPOC centered community care. It is where plus size baddies come together to reclaim style, smash systems of oppression, and leave with cute clothes for free.

If you wear a size 14 or XL and up, this space was created with you in mind.

Location details will be emailed the morning of the swap. To receive the address, be sure to subscribe to the email list when you RSVP.

Free street parking available.

How It Works

Clean out your closet and bring gently used pieces that no longer serve you. Think elevated, loved, and ready for their next life.

• Bring up to 40 items maximum• Shoes, bags, and jewelry must be placed in clear ziplock bags• Drop your items on the designated tables• Browse and take what you love. No tickets. No points. No permission needed• You do not have to bring clothes in order to take clothes• Take as many pieces as you want

All remaining clothing will be donated to nonprofit thrift stores to keep the cycle of community care going.

What Not to Bring

We are building abundance, not clutter. Please do not bring:

• Stained, smelly, damaged, or unwashed items• Clothing with broken zippers, missing buttons, heavy pilling, or visible wear• Items smaller than XL or size 14• More than 40 pieces• Extra bags intended solely for donation. Please donate directly to nonprofit thrift stores if you have additional items

Why This Matters

This Plus Size Only swap is an intentional act of resistance. Against Eurocentric beauty standards. Against capitalism. Against climate change. Against the idea that plus size bodies should have limited access to style.

We believe fashion is for every body. We believe community care is radical. We believe sharing resources builds power.

Keeping It Free

This event is created and organized by Chelly, CEO and founder of XiCaliProducts. These swaps take real labor, time, and heart to produce multiple times a year.

To help keep this event free and sustainable, guests are invited to support by shopping the handmade CBD remedies available in studio during the swap. XiCaliProducts creates products designed to help cycle breakers reduce anxiety and stress, relieve headaches and migraines, and care for their skin naturally.

Community powered. Liberation focused. Style abundant.

Pull up. Bring your pieces. Leave with new looks and new friends.

REMEMBER! Location will be revealed once you RSVP! Do that here.

Señoras Night In: Skincare, Sound Healing, Y Sisterhood
2026-02-25 19:15 - 21:00 | 1206 Maple Ave, 1206 Maple Ave, Los Angeles, California, 90015, United States
Señora Nights In is a tender, intentional gathering designed for the women and femmes who are constantly pouring into others and rarely pause long enough to be poured into themselves. From 7:15 PM to 9:00 PM at Studio 910, 1206 Maple Ave in Downtown Los Angeles, this intimate evening creates space for glow, grounding, and genuine connection.

The experience opens with a guided skincare ritual led by Chelly, founder of XiCali Products. Known for her plant based formulations and community rooted approach to wellness, Chelly will walk guests through a nourishing facial ritual designed to cleanse, replenish, and protect the skin. This is not just about products. It is about tending to yourself with intention and honoring your body in real time.

As the skin settles into its glow, the room shifts into stillness. Laura Olvera of Primitiva Movmnt guides a deeply immersive sound bath designed to calm the nervous system and soften the noise of daily life. Through layered frequencies and gentle facilitation, guests are invited into a state of rest that feels both restorative and communal.

This is not a networking event. It is not a workshop. It is not a performance.

It is a night for softness.A night for care.A night to be surrounded by women choosing presence over pressure.

Wear something comfortable. Bring something to rest on. Come ready to receive.

Space is intentionally limited to preserve intimacy.

Los Angeles, this is your reminder that rest is not indulgent. It is necessary.

RSVP here.

An evening devoted to fat QTBIPOC joy, artistry, remembrance, and resistance.

Love Letter to Fat People is a gathering created for fat QTBIPOC folks and the people who love us. It is a space where our stories are centered, our bodies are celebrated, and our creativity is treated as sacred. This is the first of what promises to be many intentional convenings uplifting fat QTBIPOC experiences and imagination.

The night invites guests into an intimate journey of storytelling and poetry with featured artists Devon Devine, aja lenae, and Joanna Villegas, whose work explores tenderness, survival, pleasure, and power through a fat liberation lens.

An altar will be present in honor of our fat ancestors. Guests are invited to bring a small offering to recognize those who taught us how to live unapologetically, those who were denied the chance to feel beloved in their bodies, and those who dreamed of the liberation we continue to build. This collective remembrance grounds the evening in gratitude and lineage.

For those ready to share their own magic, an open mic creates space for community voices to rise. Whether poetry, reflection, or story, your expression is welcome.

The gathering also includes hands on ritual and joy. Create a custom herbal jar with Mia Acosta, and explore pleasure centered offerings from Pleasure Brujita. The evening will be documented by photographer Destiny, capturing the beauty and brilliance of the space.

Tickets are offered on a sliding scale from $5 to $20, with a firm commitment to No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds. Those with the means are encouraged to give generously. Proceeds are shared equally, with half supporting Nomadic Bookshop and half going directly to the artists who make the night possible.

This is more than an event. It is devotion.To our bodies.To our stories.To the fat futures we deserve.

Making Waves Fat Swim
2026-03-01 12:00 - 13:00, 2026-03-08 12:00 - 13:00, 2026-03-15 12:00 - 13:00, 2026-03-22 12:00 - 13:00 | Albany Aquatic Center, 1311 Portland Avenue, Albany, California, 94706, United States
A Bay Area tradition since the 1980s, Making Waves Fat Swim is a volunteer run weekly swim created by and for self identified fat people. Held most Sundays throughout the year, this longstanding community space brings people together for movement, play, connection, and support in a fat positive environment.

Making Waves is more than swim time. It is a respectful, supportive space where fat people gather without judgment to exercise, float, splash, train, laugh, and build community. All genders and LGBTQIA+ fat folks are welcome.

This is a fat positive space. Discussions of dieting or weight loss are not allowed. The intention is to maintain an environment centered on body autonomy, joy, and affirmation.

Participants have exclusive use of the indoor pool during swim time. The locker room, showers, changing areas, and ADA bathrooms are shared with the general facility.

Cost

Suggested minimum contribution is $10 and up, payable in the pool area, not at the front desk.

Accepted forms of payment:• Cash• CashApp: $MAKINGWAVESFATSWIM• Zelle: fatswim@gmail.com

Venmo is no longer accepted.

Those who are able to contribute more than the suggested minimum are encouraged to do so. The cost to rent the pool and maintain liability insurance remains the same regardless of attendance. Contributions help sustain the swim. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Sign In

There is a sign in sheet located on the bench against the windows nearest the pool door. All participants are asked to sign in, even if unable to contribute financially. Those who cannot pay are encouraged to speak with the host. Sign in records help sustain the program.

About the Community

Since the Coordinating Committee began managing the swim in late 2015, there have been ongoing conversations about what makes Making Waves so meaningful. At its core, the swim is rooted in cultivating a respectful and supportive community that centers fat people and keeps diet talk and weight loss discussions outside the pool.

The Fat Swim continues because of the energy, care, and financial support of its community.

Who It’s For

All self identified fat people are welcome.

Organizers have addressed questions about the use of a 200 pound definition of being fat. They acknowledge that it is an imperfect measure, as 200 pounds can look very different on different bodies. After exploring various approaches over the years, they have not identified a clearer alternative and ask participants to honor the spirit and intention of the space.

Questions

For questions about cost or payment, contact Making Waves via Instagram at @makingwavesfatswim or email fatswim@gmail.com.

Those in the Bay Area looking for joyful, affirming movement in community will find Making Waves to be a welcoming space to dive in.
