I guess Octavia read the drama over her interview at the SAG Awards. Well she decided to make a statement on her Facebook page.
After being honored by my Guild on Sunday, I was whisked to the Press Room where one of the first questions I was asked (by Ted Casablanca) was ‘what I felt about underweight women’. (i’m paraphrasing here) I’m thinking….this is relevant because… Then I started thinking, would these questions ever be asked of my male counterparts? Better yet, underweight actors or actresses? Nah, I don’t think so!
Anyway, I answer: “Women would be alot happier if they ate…However, it is society that has told them and continues to tell them that you are less valued if you are of a certain age, or weight…something has to change. ” I began that by addressing my own weight issue..”Granted I’m not at the healthiest weight because when you are heavier around the middle…” blah blah blah. YOu get it. The next thing I read, Octavia Spencer is WORRIED ABOUT HER WEIGHT…. OCTAVIA SPENCER FEELS SHE IS LESS VALUED BECAUSE OF HER WEIGHT…
Of course I was miffed that not only was I being misrepresented, but it was sending THE WRONG MESSAGE to kids out there.
So, I decided to tell you IN MY OWN DAMNED WORDS the truth! First of all, Ladies and Gents here’s what i am NOT DOING….I am NOT WORRYING ABOUT MY WEIGHT! I AM NOT TRYING TO CONFORM TO an unrealistic model of beauty.
I AM however being proactive in being the healthiest I can be. And before you ask, NO, awards season is not the reason. I’ve been doing this for the past 10 years because it took that long to gain the weight! Right now, believe it or not, I’m pretty damn healthy! 20 LBS (max) is all I intend to lose.
Now hopefully having cleared up the constantly tweeted, and blogged about “I am less valuable because of my weight” MISQUOTES attributed to me, I want to touch on the real issue here. The weight obsessed media is destroying not only us but our children! Our culture is at the precipice of redifining who we are. Right now in this salacious age of the internet coupled with the “beauty and fashion” industries respectively ONLY promoting a “certain” kind of pretty, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in bullying, eating disorders and body dysmorphia among MALE and female teens. This is no joking matter.
Here’s what I will leave you with: Be happy in your own skin. If you are unhealthy start by making small changes to become healthier. You are unique, beautiful, and worthy. Last but certainly not least, don’t buy into any of it. AND I MEAN LITERALLY! I don’t buy magazines that don’t feature women who represent my physicality or varying ethicities on their cover because they are saying, YOU DON’T MATTER TO ME…YOU ARE NOT MY DEMOGRAPHIC. To that I say, good, that’s $35 a week I can save!
God bless!
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.
During V-Day so many thickettes were saying there is a lack of men for thicksational ladies. Well thickettes as much as we like to say there aren’t enough good man for plus size women….trust me THEY ARE OUT THERE!
Check this out
Tuesday’s episode of “Glee” featured the studly Puck (Mark Salling) longing for the attention of Lauren, played by plus-size actress Ashley Fink, who is unimpressed with the mohawked hottie. Now ET is chatting with real-life men who like big women and say pining for the attention of full-figured ladies is the norm for them.
“I guess I am a chubby chaser,” Josh Harraway tells ET. “I think there are a lot of really attractive women that don’t fit that really skinny mold and they have a different attitude about things than really skinny girls, and there is something attractive about them that would make you want to chase chubbier women.”
Brandon Richardson says although he doesn’t like the term chubby chaser, he knows that big is the American way, and he’s fine with that.
“The first reason, which is obvious, is curves,” he says of why he prefers plump. “It’s what a real woman looks like — the majority of women look like in America.”
Both men say “Glee” got it right with Fink’s storyline and character.
“I like her swag, she definitely has the big girl, ‘I’m beautiful’ attitude,” Richardson says.
“It’s almost like the social pressure is telling you, ‘don’t be with her, what are your friends going to say? You take her out, people are going to look and judge you,’” Harraway says. “If that was gone, there would be a lot of guys like Puck.” (Source: ETonline)
It will take some time for society to accept men dating plus size women and as much as people say they do not care what society thinks….THEY DO!
SO…..
I ask you thickettes is there anything we can do as plus size women to make the men who admire us feel more comfortable dating us?
Let me guess….some of you are saying “Why do I have to make them feel comfortable? They should be man enough to take me out and not care what society thinks!”
We wish it could be that easy and the reality is love is hard work. If you are trying to find love or you’re in love or trying to keep love it takes dedication. Finding the right one is already a tough task and being under pressure with what society may think doesn’t make it better. As much as we think the man is suppose to do all the work we as women have to put in the same effort.
Do you feel there is something we can do to make them feel more comfortable? Do you feel we shouldn’t do anything to make them feel comfortable?
Tell me what you think Thickettes.
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.
Thickettes I know I don’t post like I use to but I am preparing to do BIG things for the plus size world so that’s taking a lot of my energy. Anyhoo my blog buddy and I were talking about D-List Celebrities last night and why they feel the need to make things bigger than what they are. So I decided to let Fazhionwhore do a guest post to talk about these WACK D-Listers!
Guest Post by Fazhionwhore
D-Lister: A very minor celebrity according to the Ulmer scale of bankability. Key word: bankability. This list was created to humble those who give themselves to much self importance where they offer very minimal proceeds to an industry that garners billions of dollars. Basically, if nobody will miss you if you dropped off the entertainment scene today, chances are you’re probably a D-Lister. Here are the 8 prongs to identify a true D-Lister (*Please check these before leaving your house thinking your actually the life of the party…):
1. Your rise to fame is because you acted a complete a** on some reality show in efforts to be the center of attention and get extra airtime;
2. You have absolutely NO talent but still manage to grace the covers of magazines looking like you just won an Oscar or something;
3. You don’t even have your own place. Please own a piece of property, car (New York D-Listers excluded), etc. There’s nothing more pathetic than sleeping on someone else couch but you have 10,000 Twitter followers (*priority check.)
4. People only recognize you as an A-List celebrities ex. “Person 1: Who is that again? Person 2: Ohh that’s __fill in the blank__ ex -boo.”
5. You get a rush from getting in the club for free because the bouncer recognizes you. When you’re getting bottles of Ace of Spades and over $50K to show up at venues, then we can talk about something.
6. “I bet you think this song is about you”. Everything you see on facebook, myspace, twitter or even on thicksational.com or johnnaknowsgoodfood.com, for that matter, is not about you. Check your actions before you check the messenger.
7. Something borrowed, something blue. Please get your own s***. Stop gallivanting around town with your managers, producers or even your mama’s Maybach and/or showcasing someone elses mansion as your own. You don’t have it like that! The first step is: admitting. it’s. not. yours.
8. Leave the MAC at home, no one cares what you look like. A-list celebrities stroll around Roberson and SoHo daily with a casual style…typically minimal to no makeup, Starbucks in hand, shades to keep the paps and sun out. These people are actually busy working and contributing to the industry with their talents. As a D-Lister, you get an inkling of this attention…but now that I think about this again, maybe you should bring out all the MAC since you’re only going to get these 15 minutes, right??
For those who have emailed me about being a strong woman. This is for you.
The Power of Being A Strong Woman (not for the weak-minded).
By: Dawn “The Self-Esteem Queen”™
Powerful women know that failure is never an acceptable option.
Though I’m always thankful to Adam for his rib, I know that there are some things that God only gave me in terms of wisdom. There are many women in the World who are afraid to step out from the shadow of their non-creative self due to the fear that as a woman, they will not be able to get ahead. Even with so many strong women making their mark in society as prominent authoritative figures, there is that crowd that walks around in needless fear. These women MUST know that they hold the power that keeps them in bondage and the power to get out and become what they daydream about.
Strong women have learned that influence is a gift from God that shouldn’t be used to manipulate their professional and personal life.
Often the powerful woman must straddle the fence of exuding confidence while simultaneously learning how not to allow that confidence to alter her judgments when dealing with others. There are some who become alert to their power to influence others and use this to their advantage in a malicious manner to make profits from their power. Strong women DON’T manipulate those they serve. This is a fact.
I don’t seek recognition for my good deeds from earthly persons.
There was a time when I wanted to let everyone know how great I was, how wonderful all my accomplishments were, and how I was just so great. I have since learned that this is not a way to possess my power. I get power each time my path is directed in a way I cannot explain. My power lies in letting my Guide make my heavy decisions. Whenever someone steps up to recognize something I have done, I am always quick to acknowledge the assistance I received from the Universe instead of taking all the credit.
Strong women know power is in the silence of your mouth and the loudness of your deeds.
I always say, “Your actions speak to loud I can’t hear anything you say.” Oftentimes we get caught up in trying to let others know who we are and what we stand for. The art of being a strong woman is that you already exude that from the confidence of your walk to the authority you command when your actions speak volumes for your mouth. I was once told that those who speak a lot only like to hear the sounds of their voices. A strong woman knows that actions mean more to the World than a good speech any day.
I walk in awareness of my importance.
I spend most of my time in a state of reflection with God. Early in my career I determined that I was not going to let people or things in life dictate my happiness. I have been tried and tested and this has taught me that being influential causes you to be a target for the “nay-sayers” and “you can’t accomplish that” venom throwers. The key, a strong woman knows, is continuing on the path that will eventually lead you to your purpose no matter what those who seek to destroy your dream will say.

I believe we all have intuition to know when someone is playing games. We just make the choice to continue to be a fool or to know our worth and move on. However for those who wanted me to do a post on this subject HERE YOU GO
**Note**
The majority of this advice is from other bloggers so it’s not just my point of view.
1. Phone Contact….He Calls You
You may have his number but most of the time if you call his phone it goes straight to voice mail. That’s a way to control the situation. When a man has a lot of women they refuse to be caught off guard so they send you to voice mail and call you when they can get their thoughts together.
2. You Have a Time Slot
If he is talking to you at the same time of the morning, day or evening. He’ll tell you it’s because of his work schedule or his bowling games. In actuality, he probably has a schedule planner to keep track of who he is to talk to during each time slot! No versatility in schedule is the only way to play a lot of women at one time and you should be aware.
3. Hidden Comments on Social Websites
Stop and think about it. He doesn’t want all of you women leaving him love comments and reading each other. He thrives on the comments and attention, so he keeps them hidden. To you, he’ll tell you he wants your comments to be private between the two of you because your love is so special.
4. Secret Code Public Bulletins
A true player is good. He has to talk to code to you on pubic bulletin boards so that the other women won’t know that he was talking directly to you. Yet, he will make it feel like this is your own special code that no-one else is privileged to know. It is like an inside and special thing between just the two of you.
Hate to tell you, he’s probably using the same code for two, three or even four of you women. That way he saves time posting and doesn’t look like he’s posted a ton of bulletins to everyone he knows.
5. Talking About Other Women Harassing Him
Chances are you will stumble upon some of the other women in his life. You might see a message or figure things out. To solve this problem, players are great at telling you about how they liked a woman, she cheated and they broke up. But she just won’t leave him alone and wants to keep other women from him by making them jealous!
6. Sends Presents to You for No Reason
One really big warning sign of a player is sending presents to you for no reason. See, the trick was to get your home address. They might not be anything but a stuffed animal or his picture in a photo frame. Depending on his income and how many women he is juggling, will determine how expensive the presents are. But regardless, they will be sentimental and have some special or secret meaning for just the two of you, so you won’t forget him when you two aren’t talking on the Internet or phone.
7. Sick Relative
Players are great with the sick relatives. They all of a sudden have to take leave from work to go take care of sick relative for a few days or even up to a couple of weeks. You’ll be amazed at how many people are sick in his family.
What is actually happening, is he finally hit the jackpot as a player. He’s gone to meet the other woman in person and see how it goes. He can’t call you. He can’t be on the Internet. He’ll be too busy romancing her and doesn’t want her to know about you. So, a sick relative with no minutes left on his phone and no Internet access. How perfect!
8. Can’t Remember Your Interests
He’s juggling several women. Chances are this player hasn’t kept a very good list of your interests. Instead of risking mentioning something from a different woman and making you mad, he just shows lack of knowledge in your interests. He’ll listen. But you’ll find the conversations of an player are primarily about himself.
9. Very Open About His Life
A player wants you to trust and like him. One of the best ways to gain this trust and not mess up and say something wrong by accident about a different woman is to be open about his life. You’ll learn all about his job, his past relationships and his relatives.
10. Suddenly Has Multiple Accounts or Phone Numbers
Out of desperation to keep your attention if you are catching onto him being a player, he will threaten to leave the social website . You might even find him talking about starting a whole new account and/or changing his number. If of course you’re his true friend, he’ll tell you what the new screen name and number is. This is to control and make you worry you’ll lose him. It’s also a way to hunt fresh meat. Players typically will not keep the same screen name or number for more than a several months to a year.
11. He expressly denies being one
Men who come straight out (unprovoked) and proclaim that they aren’t players, tend to be precisely that. He will announce this the first time he screws up, or senses that you’re leery about him. And he’s operating on reflex. You see, he’s so used to being accused of being one, that he instinctively plays offense from the start, in the hope you might be gullible enough to believe what you hear, rather than what you see.
12. He’s too smooth
Does he have an answer for everything? A really good answer for everything? I’m not surprised. as it comes from years of practice. He’s made all the big mistakes and has plenty of experience with smoothing things over. He knows what you want to hear, because he’s learned well from his previous enablers. Don’t add yourself to the list.
13. He’s always slightly aloof
He pays just enough attention to make you crave more, but little enough to make you wonder how interested he really is. This ploy is designed to make you want more — which is what most of you end up doing — and some of you will go out of your way to get his attention via methods you wouldn’t normally lower yourself to. That’s exactly what he wants; you crawling on your knees for his attention.
14. He’s fantastic in bed
These guys are so good in bed that many women will overlook the crap he pulls, just to get the chance to play house with him. Not every man who is good in bed is a player, obviously, but if he is, and if he’s also got any of the previous traits, he’s probably a player. Unfortunately, this trait is desirable enough that many women are willing to overlook the other traits, if only for a period of time.*Note* he can also be average or horrible in bed and still be a player!
15. His communication skills suck
Unless there’s a very good reason, if a man doesn’t answer your text/email/phone call within 24 hours, he’s playing a game. And the men who deny the truth of that statement by claiming that some men are just too busy…? They’re full of shit. If you really like someone, you can find a minute to at least text them. No one is that busy! If your man does this on a regular basis, he’s playing games.
16. He makes you feel like you’re overreacting when you’re not
Let me give you an example: He promises to call you at 8pm, but doesn’t contact you until the next day. Why? Because he decided that pizza with his mates would be more fun. When asked why he couldn’t be bothered to let you know, to send you a text at least, he replies by making you feel like you’re being clingy or too demanding.
This year is coming to an end but let’s forget about the past and focus on the future.
2010 is the year of Y.O.U
In 2009 (or even prior years) we have allowed a lot of things to hinder us from our purpose. Even if we felt we accomplished some things this year, we could have gone much further if it wasn’t for someone or something that WE allowed to hold us back.
You have to be about Y.O.U in 2010. Now you may be asking what does Y.O.U stand for?
Y.earning with O.rder will make you U.nstoppable.
YEARNING means desire, hunger, thirst. We all have a yearning and craving for things that we want in life. It starts with the dream, a dream to become something or to do better. Regardless of how silly you think it may be, if you want to be a singer, belly dancer, or you simply want to be a better role model, hold on to that dream.
Once you have the dream it’s time to have……
ORDER, order is the plan, organization, the guidance. It’s when you start to turn your dream into reality which is the most difficult task. It becomes difficult because we fear failure, success or people demanding so much from us. Therefore WE allow things to get in the way and make excuses. Well 2010 is the year of no excuses. If you can’t make it happen in 2010 you can’t blame anybody but YOU. Not the economy, your man, woman, kids, parents, genetics etc. Seek guidance daily, plan and organize your goals.
Once you plan & organize you will begin to execute and after you execute you will become……
UNSTOPPABLE! You can’t stop a man/woman with a dream who creates a plan and executes. When you past the Y and O, U will not be able to look back. At the end of the day it’s up to YOU to get there.
Make it about Y.O.U for 2010!
Please be safe out there and I will see you next year!
Many of you have sent emails and twitter messages about deadbeat dads. Well instead of writing a message to them I decided to give you a positive post on how having a great father can make a big difference in your life.
Growing up in a two parent home, I consider myself blessed. In one corner I had my mother who was easy to get along with but had a slight attitude. To my friends she seemed like the cool mom but to me and my brothers she was something fierce. Then you had my father, who I often referred to as a gentle giant. He yelled and spanked us when we got out of line but even when I disappointed him, I was “Daddy’s Little Girl”. I was his only daughter and he made sure he told me everyday how important I was to him and how much he loved me. He even went as far as requiring that I kissed him on his forehead every night before going to sleep. My dad was ¾ bald so his hair took up the sides and back of his head leaving the top of his head and forehead to feel the breeze. Initially my brothers and I would kiss his forehead but as his hairline went further back so did our kisses and before we knew it we were kissing him in the middle of his head every night.
For every good memory I had with my dad, there was an awkward memory also. I remember getting asked everyday, “What did you learn in school today?” When I told him “nothing” he knew I was lying and went through my notebooks as well as required my brothers and I to give presentations about current news events to the entire family. Another awkward moment was when he asked me who was courting me. I had never heard that word before but I knew he was asking if a boy was trying to pursue me.
I could go on forever of the memories I shared with my dad because there are so many to choose from. My father was there for my brothers and I. He wasn’t just there physically but he was there emotionally as well. He set examples for all of us. I looked to him for qualities to seek in a man and my brothers looked to him to determine what type of men they should become.
Although he was not perfect, the fact that he was in our lives and made an impact is the most important gift he gave us. Having a strong male presence in our lives was important to our development. We knew if we got out of line we would be in trouble so we didn’t dare do things he wouldn’t approve of. In fact, not wanting to let my father down motivated me to be the best kid possible. Not wanting to let him down eventually turned into not wanting to let myself down but it all started with my dad.
Years ago, I asked my mom if she thought things would’ve been different without my dad and since she’s always honest with me she said yes. It’s not that my mom could not do it alone if she had to but she and my dad realized that we had a better chance of making it with both of them in our lives.
I understand that everyone’s parents may not be married like my mom and dad but if you are a man who has a child, the greatest gift you can give your child is to be present in their lives. Visiting them once a year or even once a month does not cut it. They need you more than you realize and whether their mothers admit, women need you to be there for your child as well.
As I approach the New Year, I also approach the 13 year mark since my father passed in 1997. He died during my younger brothers senior year in high school and my 1st year of college. I think it’s ironic that he left us after my older brother and I had finished high school with just a few more months left for my little brother to finish. He had been sick for a while and it’s as if he stayed with us long enough to finish the job that was set before him……raise his kids.
You are put on earth for a reason. Your children are put here for a reason. Your connection with your children should come naturally and nothing should get in the way of that.
Actress Brittany Murphy died yesterday at the age of 32. There are rumors spreading that Murphy was on prescribed drugs and was also struggling with an eating disorder. Of course no one has confirmed this but looking at the above picture when Brittany first burst on the scene in her movie “Clueless” compared to a more recent photo of her (below), she definitely lost a lot of weight.
With that being said after all of the celebrities we’ve lost within the past two years to things that could have been avoided (Michael Jackson, DJ Am, Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy (possibly)), I can’t help but wonder…… is Hollywood the silent killer?
We have all heard stories about the stress and pressure that being in the entertainment business can bring, but at what point does society/media realize that these “celebrities” are still human beings?
These celebs are criticized about their physical looks and weight on a daily basis. While most will say that is apart of the business and you have to be prepared for it. I will say that some people in this business do NOT come into this industry with the only intentions to be famous. There are still people out there who have God given talent and were able to break into the business but that doesn’t mean they were prepared for the backlash. When they are not prepared for it I truly think that this is the end result, talented people gone too soon.
If Brittany’s autopsy comes back with drugs or malnutrition this will be another tear in my heart. We have to do better and stop putting so much pressure on people who eat, sleep, smile and hurt just like us.
What do you think thickettes and thick men? Do you feel there is too much pressure? What can we do to change it?
