Of course we knew Octavia was going to go home with THE GOLD!
She was trying to fight back the tears! Let the tears flow thickette because you deserve it! Congrats Octavia!
And her dress was BEAUTIFUL! Thicksational A++++++ Octavia and kudos to your stylist!
Oprah won an honorary Oscar! She looked beautiful last night and to be honest she deserved an Oscar for her Miss Sophia role in The Color Purple but hey at least she has one now
Now on to the BS!
GABBY “WHAT THE HELL” SIDIBE
I can’t find a clip of the BS at the Oscars yesterday but the Academy Awards had a video of Gabby Sidibe with a wig that she found in an alley!
Ok I don’t know if she found it in an alley but it looked like it. Imagine Coming to America and a dried up Soul Glo Wig OR a wig they used from Roots mini series. That’s what she had on her head! There’s no excuse for it. Gabby you have too many resources to have that wig. Do better thickette!
As a thick woman, I must say it is refreshing to see more plus size women receiving respect and recognition in the film, music and the modeling industries. When I was growing up, I only had Nell Carter and Janet Jackson to watch on television, and by the end of the 80’s, Janet had a six pack, and Nell was half her size. While I understand that the reasons behind their weight loss had something to do with maintaining their health, both Carter and Jackson openly admitted the pressures of being skinny in Hollywood.
So here it is the year 2010, and now so many plus size celebrities – Mo’Nique, Gabby Sidibe, Nikki Blonsky and Queen Latifah are getting respect for their talents; but are they getting admiration for their size?
Thick women have always been around and wanted lead roles in movies and modeling contracts, but for years we were shut out and seen as a joke. Therefore, I’ve found myself wondering why Hollywood is so accepting of the plus size world after years of rejection and ridicule.
I’ll tell you why. The fact is the average woman in the United States is a size 14, and while society recognizes this verity, they tend to ignore it and continue to go for what they consider more appealing. Due to this prejudice, it forced the plus size community to take charge by creating our own enterprises, and as a result, our community has been very lucrative, thus making those who treated us as an outcast for years take notice.
When most people think of the entertainment industry, they think of glamour, fashion and luxury. Yet, Hollywood will always be seen first and foremost as a business. We are receiving more attention compared to previous years merely because we currently dominate the market. We are seen as a business, not human beings who are admired for our talent, beauty and glamour like skinny Hollywood. Look at any major magazine, TV show or film, we are still not represented consistently. We are excluded to a “plus-size issue” and maybe one plus size girl who is in the cast of a show or film as if we are filling a quota. Even the movie “Precious” did not receive national recognition until the likes of Oprah and Tyler Perry endorsed the film, and while the acting was phenomenal, the plot of the movie focuses on a plus size teenager who is being abused and scorned for being overweight by her plus size mother.
While I am grateful for our rise in the industry, it is simply just the beginning. Now that we are seen as profitable and trendy, I am waiting for the day that we can be seen as practical and long-lasting. We are not even close to getting our just due. When is Queen Latifah going to get the same respect as Beyonce? I am waiting for the day that Nikki Blonsky is seen on Maxim’s Hot 100 Sexiest Women List and Mo’Nique gets the same roles as Halle Berry. We need thick women behind the scene writing, producing and directing our stories and more plus size models walking the runway in Paris and New York. Can men stop hiding the fact that they love women who are a size 14 and up and not be afraid to flaunt us in videos and on the red carpet?
There are so many applauding Mo’Nique, Queen Latifah, Nikki Blonsky and Gabby Sidibe, but they are only a small percentage of the images of Hollywood. The majority of the plus size community is still only being allowed to get a peek through a window when Hollywood and society need to remove all discrimination and simply welcome us through the door.
I believe Howard Stern said Gabby will not work in Hollywood due to her size…..right?
Well I think Saturday Night Live is a pretty big DAMN DEAL!
Rumor has it our thickette will host Saturday Night Live soon! No word on the actual date but apparently the deal is final! So you can kiss it Howard! Has he ever hosted Saturday Night Live?…………………….I think not!
HOPEFULLY………….
SNL will not punk out like Vogue Magazine! Yes thickettes! Vogue reneged on Gabby’s Vogue cover because she is “too big” so YOU KNOW I AM PISSED!
First of all its VERY UNPROFESSIONAL to offer someone the cover then tell them NO at the last minute. Second why now? This shows that people do not have a mind of their own and are weak! Once again the industry is too worried about what people will think if they put her on the cover.
So Gabby this is what Vogue & clearly others want you to do to be on “their team”
Eat and then vomit in the toliet immediately
Eat a Banana for breakfast, Lettuce for Lunch, and a Mint for Dinner
Take about 5 diet pills a day so you won’t have an appetite
And workout 12 hours a day.
So pretty much Gabby…….DON’T HAVE A LIFE SO YOU CAN PLEASE THESE MISERABLE WEAK SKINNY HEFFAS!
Since the Academy Awards, too many people have nothing else to do with their lives but diss Gabby……SMH!
So haters here’s something special for you.
The trailer for Gabby’s new show The Big C! How ya like that?!
Regardless on what we accomplish there will ALWAYS be at least one who talks ISH!
Check out what ugly a** mop head Howard Stern had to say about our girl Gabby and Oprah.
So never mind her talent just focus on her size (IGNORANCE). Trust me Howard with Oprah on her side she WILL have a career regardless on what your anorexic a** thinks!
Is Mo losing more weight? You still look thicksational lady!
Half of the gospel group Mary Mary
Raven and Taraji look great but once again Gabby please fire your stylist and the shoes………………No no no!
Precious Cast & Staff
I love when our thickettes support each other and have a moment.
Good job thickettes.
I hope Lee, Mo and Gabby win the Oscar but it’s still an honor to receive the nod. “Precious” is also up for Best Picture and Best Writing (adapted screenplay). I’m not really a fan of Lee Daniels directing however after “Monster’s Ball” and “Precious” recieving nods/wins I think he deserves to take a gold man home.
