Thicksational Mogul Oprah has decided to dedicated her network Saturdays to thicksational women.
Let me give you a recap…
Miss Robbie and her family start off the evening and after watching the show you will be VERY hungry. One hour of fried chicken, yams, mac & cheese and drama always makes a good show. Miss Robbie is a former backup singer for Ike and Tina Turner and went from barely making it to becoming a self made millionaire. Her spoiled son and nephew drive her crazy while she is trying to finish her 3rd restaurant in St. Louis. I think this a show that anyone can appreciate or at least admire the food.
Super model, Beverly Johnson decides to open up her home to her estrange daughter and thicksational model Anansa Sims. From the beginning of the show I was very puzzled, I mean the vibe that Anansa was giving her mother on the TV screen was just off. I didn’t understand it and definitely didn’t understand what was her purpose of moving in if she didn’t want to be bothered by her. Beverly does seem to be overbearing, however most children know how to handle their parent’s personality after so long but Anansa after one night couldn’t take it. Later in the show both women explain the reason why there is tension between the two which I feel will definitely be a healing show (I hope). This show can heal people who might be going through the same issues with their parents.
I like Niecy Nash. I think she is funny in her own corky way. However this show is too much. Why is it too much? IT’S TOO SCRIPTED! Yes all reality shows are scripted however I don’t want it to be so obvious and cheesy. The show starts off with Niecy and her man wanting to go skating with her kids. The kids decided they don’t want to go and give the excuse that God is calling them. This show almost seems like she is preparing her kids AND HER MOM for the acting world. This reality show is set up like a pilot and Niecy is hoping to get a sitcom after this. I am not really feeling the show so far but maybe it will grow on me.
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!
Oprah turns 58 today! I don’t care what your opinion is about Ms. Winfrey. There have been times where she made us laugh, things that she said that made us mad, and inspirational speeches that made us cry. Oprah is an excellent example that you can turn nothing into EVERYTHING if you focus on your purpose and think, speak and live positive!
Happy Birthday Lady O! Thank you for the inspiration.
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!
I don’t know if any of you saw Gabby on Oprah but she said something that so many people need to hear.
Oprah told the audience that director Lee Daniels said Gabby speaks “like a white girl from the Valley” and is so confident that she is “either in denial about her physicality or from another planet.” (Source)
“It’s something I’ve had to work at. My first diet started when I was six years old,” Gabby said. “I’ve never been a small girl. One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body.”
She said that she was 21 or 22 when she finally became comfortable in her own skin. “I got tired of feeling bad all the time. I got tired of hating myself.”
I can relate to this story. I started my first diet at 9. It’s too young to be that aware and to constantly be told that you are different.
While ladies like Gabby and myself have already reached that point of healing and have learn to love ourselves and be comfortable in our own bodies, there are so many girls, boys, women and men who are still struggling with accepting who they are and loving themselves.
A thicksational clap to Gabby for sharing her story because so many people need to hear it and trust me when the time is right I will also share my story.
We heard the rumors for a while but now it is confirmed. Oprah is ending her show in 2011. I really don’t know what daytime television will be like without Oprah. She has made the world happy, cry and even sometimes angry but regardless on how she has made you feel, you cannot deny that this woman has made history! Oprah made women all over the world feel proud to be WOMEN and even though her opinion about her weight has been leery over the years, she is one of the people that I look up to and has proven that there is a way to make it as a plus size woman. So I thank you Oprah and in September 2011 I know I will shed a tear.
