For several months I heard Tanisha (Bad Girls Club) was going to have her own show on Oxygen called “Tanisha Gets Married”.  The media and bloggers made the announcement last year in October so when I didn’t see any previews or advertisements I figure the show was out. Well…..

I finally saw the previews after watching the ignorant first episode of Season 8 Bad Girls Club. So dammit it’s official! I am so happy for Tanisha. If you are going to get married might as well make it profitable by having your own show. Tanisha is sure to provide Thicksatonal entertainment like she did on the Bad Girls Club. Forget Bridezilla…Tanisha is THICKzilla work it thickette!

Be honest at least once in your life you have said “I wish I could win the Lotto”. Some of you are faithful lotto players and buy weekly tickets hoping to get that chance to win BIG. You take a risk to attempt to win the Lotto but, why is it so important to win?
Do you think winning millions will solve all of your problems?
Are you one of those people who constantly say…

“If I win I would pay off my debt.”
“If I win I would buy a big house and nice car.”
“If I win I would finally be happy.” (Yeah Right!)

Truth is most millionaires did not make their money winning the lotto, and most people who are happy and fulfilled are NOT millionaires. So thickettes when people tell me they wish they could win the Lotto.

My reply is…..

LIVE THE LOTTO LIFE NOW!

What do I mean by that?
Well lets take a look at the definition of Lottery shall we…..

LOTTERY: An event or affair whose outcome is or seems to be determine by CHANCE.

I believe it is in our nature to have a “I wish I could” mentality because society has taught us only certain people can be or are privileged. However that mindset is the reason why we can’t continue to grow and prosper. So for 2012 don’t say you are not…say YOU ARE, don’t say you wish…say YOU WILL and dammit don’t say you could…say YOU CAN.  You have the right to live THE LOTTO LIFE, and will achieve it if you start by taking a CHANCE. Do not determine your life by saying what you wish you could do.

SAY YOU ARE,WILL AND CAN DO!

What’s interesting is the odds of you winning in your life versus winning the Mega Millions is much greater and yet most are still afraid to take a chance. The purpose of living your LOTTO LIFE is to focus on what you have and will have in the future instead of what you don’t have and what you had or went through in the past.

Alter your thinking for 2012 and LIVE YOUR LOTTO LIFE.
Turn your IF’s to I CAN, I HAVE AND I WILL!

After all when you play the lotto you are talking a chance, why not play for your goals the same way.

Modify the way you think and change your outcome.

Have a THICKSATIONAL 2012 Thickettes!

We are headed to the Oscars again Thickettes! A thicksational clap to Octavia Spencer. She took home a Golden Globe last night!

After seeing “The Help” I KNEW she was going to win.

And she looked THICKSATIONAL in her dress!

Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) was there as well. I will give her look a THICKSATIONAL B-. Her stylist could have done more with her curves. Melissa dropped a few tears when Octavia won her award. Thickettes have to stick together!

THE QUEEN!

Of course she looked like royalty last night! THICKSATION A+++ to you HONEY you looked FAB!
But one thickette stole the show!

I absolutely LOVED this dress on Amber. The red popped and it showed all of her curves. Oh and her boobs stayed in place. Gotta love that when you are a thickette wearing a strapless dress! Ha!

I have had a VERY busy schedule this year but I still managed to see some of the shows that had some thickettes that lost their damn minds!

Nastasia

The calculated bully who only managed to fight people that she knew wouldn’t fight back. One thing that I despise is a bully who has no valid reason WHY she is mad at everybody! Stasia had words with every person in the house EXCEPT T FROM THE G! Which I am not shocked because Stasia knew T wasn’t afraid of her a**! Either way from the way she talked to the inappropriate camel toe dresses she wore…..Stasia was annoying as hell!

Laura Govan

Yeah I know she lost all that “baby weight” but she needed to keep some of the weight because she looks a little “manly” without it.

Who cares how the show ended, Laura from the beginning was a bitter hater who always had something to say but never wanted to look at herself. The nerve of her to call Malaysia a “rat” because of her name when you are still known as the GROUPIE WHO BEFRIENDED SHAUNIE AND THEN SLEPT WITH SHAQ!  That COMPTON SUCKER PUNCH TO YOUR MOUTH hopefully set you straight for the rest of your life!

Jackie Christie…..

Do I really need to explain why she is CRAZY? :/

Moving on to the one that is really coo coo for coco puffs!

CHRISSY “INSECURE, I NEED A JOB, I AM BEGGING FOR A RING, I HATE WOMEN WHO ARE DOING BETTER THAN ME” LAMPKIN!

I kind of liked Chrissy last season………

No I didn’t…I knew from the beginning this girl had some major issues with self esteem. Now I am all for keeping it real but Chrissy’s way of handling things is always hoodrat-ish, ignorant and just childish. She has a problem with EVERY WOMAN who is making moves. She never beefs with Emily and Olivia because they are not competition to her. But Somaya, Yandy and Kimbella will always be a problem because they are driven to be independent NOT driven to get a ring on their finger. Chrissy didn’t you  learn from Kim Zolciak that the RING DOESN’T MEAN A THING. After all the begging and threats to kick him out of course he’s going to get you one but let’s see if your crazy a** actually walks down the aisle.

And

Did you really wear a “Jesus Saves” shirt with holes in it, and wore it while you were being an ignorant scallywag?

THANK YOU!
For letting the world know that you can still be BIG and sexy
For showing us that size has nothing to do with how well you can dance
For making hits that I STILL dance to in 2011
For your motivational Tweets everyday
As you said in your last tweet BE INSPIRED….well you inspired me and for that

I THANK YOU HEAVY D!

Yesterday a new reality show hit MTV about a girl name Chelsea Settles who weighs over 300 lbs and wants to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the fashion industry. Of course you know I HAD to see this show, especially since a lot of shows that have thickettes as the main characters end up being a disaster. So within the first 10 minutes of the show Chelsea is in a fast food drive-thru and after she eats she starts to explain that she hides her fast food bags in her car because she doesn’t want people to see her throw them away. Immediately after her explanation she begins to cry.
Okay……so as soon as I see her cry I am thinking…..great we have another “More to Love” show where they want us to be seen as the poor big girl who will do anything to be a size 2 so she can be accepted. This almost turned me off which made me want to turn the damn channel but I decided to continue to watch hoping that the show would get better.
Most of the show focuses on Chelsea’s life in PA. She takes care of her ill mother and has a thick male cousin who also has dreams of moving to LA. Chelsea goes to doctor where she find out she is “obese” and decides to make drastic changes to lose weight. She joins the local gym where they measure her where she begins to cry again. I assumed that maybe she was embarrassed because the cameras where on her, but either way so far I still have not heard what Chelsea likes about herself. She is a beautiful girl, who has an amazing personality but she can’t get over the fact that she is plus size. But I will give you more of what I think later…Now the next highlight was Chelsea’s boyfriend. I was sooooo happy to see she had a boyfriend, I felt it showed America that we can have a man committed to us and accept us for our size. Well…..I spoke too soon….Chelsea’s man has cheated on her and Chelsea explains that while her boyfriend did cheat on her who else will accept her at her size so she was going to stay by him (WTF). Chelsea and her man are talking and Chelsea begins to talk about her dreams and her man shuts her down doubting what she can do. Chelsea takes his negative comments as a challenge and decides she is going to take her dreams seriously and move forward with her plans to move to LA.
Chelsea decides to go to the club to celebrate her cousin’s birthday and while they let people in front of Chelsea go in, they stop her and tell her to step aside while they continue to let people in. Now this scene hit home for me and my thicksational friends watching because it is typical for certain clubs to only want a certain “look” in their club. Chelsea leaves and while she is walking to her car a group of drunk MOFOS start to call her ignorant a** names and AGAIN Chelsea begins to CRY. At this point I was screaming at the TV saying “Dammit fight for your respect…go the hell off!” I don’t care what size she is. EVERYONE DESERVES RESPECT AND IF PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO AUTOMATICALLY GIVE IT TO YOU SOMETIMES A GOOD CURSE OUT CAN HELP . After the club incident Chelsea stays in her house until she receives a call from LA that the apartment she wanted to move in was available and decides she is going to finally move to LA.
THE END
Okay so I think this show has potential. I feel this is a great show for our young thickettes who may feel like Chelsea. Now….I hope this show does not focus on her losing weight to gain acceptance in the fashion industry. This will completely turn me off. While I know she wants to lose weight it should ONLY be for her health. If this show focuses on Chelsea loving herself no matter what size she is then my thickettes we have a winner. After all if she doesn’t love herself now she will not love herself at a smaller size right?
