SWIM FAN AC-free club Holocene wisely shuttered its doors last Sunday in the face of P-town's Hades-like temperatures . The silver lining of the closure? Cupcake , the club's monthly queer-friendly "fatty fete," which was scheduled that day, relocated to North Portland's Peninsula Pool for a two-hour bout of aquatic chub love called the Chunky Dunk Pool Party . According to Fat Girl Speaks/Cupcake organizer Stacy Bias , more than 70 people showed up for the afternoon swim, "in their sexy suits and trunks with sunscreened tattoos glistening and perfectly coiffed Esther Williams hairdos floating carefully above the water line." Scoop hears there was even a freakin' cannonball competition. If you now feel as if you've missed the plus-sized social event of the summer, don't fret. Bias is busy planning Chunky Dunk II and III for two Sundays, Aug. 13 and 27 . Visit fatgirlspeaks.com if you wanna be part of it.
