Essence Magazine names their top fashionable thickettes and here they are in no particular order.
Oprah Winfrey
The media mogul’s weight has fluctuated more times than we can count over the past two decades, but through it all she has always remained camera-ready. Her sophisticated image is definitely part of her star appeal.
Angie Stone
A true soul singer to the core, Angie keeps it real and we adore her for it. We love how this silky cream top plays up her beautiful mocha skin.
Jennifer Hudson
The Chi-town powerhouse took the entertainment world by storm after her Oscar-winning performance in “Dreamgirls” in 2006. Even fashion icon Andre Leon Talley has lent his stylish hand to the voluptuous beauty. In October 2008, Hudson revealed to ESSENCE, “I used to hate going to stores, trying on clothes. Girl, now I love me some clothes!”
Chrisette Michele
After providing sweet vocals for hip-hop royalty like Nas and Jay-Z, Michele has proven she will make her mark on the R&B world. The Long Island, New York, native told ESSENCE in October, “I need to flatter my hourglass shape. On curvy girls, the clothes need to fit.”
Jazmine Sullivan
This brickhouse from Philly might be a newbie on the music scene, but she has an unforgettable voice and a shapely silhouette to match. “I’m not a size 0,” she says in the October issue of ESSENCE, “I celebrate my curves, and I think that makes everyone else all right with them too.”
Jordin Sparks
This “American Idol” alum, chart-topping vocalist and burgeoning model keeps her look picture-perfect in body-conscious fashions.
Mo’Nique
An ESSENCE fave, this fly Baltimore native has graced our cover five times and counting. Her unapologetic openness about her weight (in 2004 she penned the hilarious “Skinny Women Are Evil”) has made her an inspiration to women who once felt pressured to be a size 2.
Niecy Nash
She’s one of our favorite reasons for watching the Style channel, as the frank but loving host of “Clean House.” Her signature flower in the hair makes her fashion sense undeniably fly.
Queen Latifah
Proving that ladies are always first, this New Jersey-bred raptress-turned-actress always turns it out on the red carpet. In 2006, the Grammy winner collaborated with beauty giant CoverGirl to launch the Queen collection of cosmetics, providing more makeup options for women of color.
Raven-Symone
We’ve been in love with this actress-turned-entrepreneur ever since she first captured our hearts as the precocious toddler on “The Cosby Show.” Unlike some other young women her age, she always keeps it classy on the red carpet.
Sherri Shepherd
She keeps TV audiences chuckling on two Emmy-winning shows–chatting it up on “The View” or clowning on the hit sitcom “30 Rock.” Yet her body-conscious style is no laughing matter.
Toccara
“America’s Next Top Model” was never the same after Toccara Jones made her debut on the show. The Ohio native might not have won the reality series that season, but she has made tremendous strides for plus-size models and even appeared in the now-infamous all-Black Vogue Italia earlier this year.
Jill Scott
Quickly becoming a true renaissance woman, Scott conquered music, then acting, and earlier this year she added fashion designer to her résumé. The Grammy winner collaborated with retailer Ashley Stewart to launch the Butterfly Bra, an undergarment specifically created for top-heavy women.
ALSO FOR THE THICKETTES WHO THINK THERE AREN’T ANY MEN OUT THERE WHO LOVE THICKSATIONAL WOMEN. HMMMMM YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN! ESSENCE INTERVIEWED SOME MEN AND THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US.
”If you look good, you look good. If Jennifer Hudson walked by right now, I would be all over her. I’ve met women who are plus-size, and they are fine just because of the way they carry themselves.”
-Khalid S., 27, IT consultant
“I like ladies who are thick, shapely, well-endowed-all of that. I cannot see myself dating a woman who’s small and skinny, shaped like the Eurocentric model. Plus-size women are a visual aesthetic.”
-Khari S., 41, ? school administrator
“Thicker ladies are aware of their size and, depending on their age, have learned to embrace it. They also know what they want. Being a slim guy, I’ve found that bigger women like skinny men.”
-Chris C., 29, songwriter
“Big girls are often the aggressor, quick to cater to a man’s needs, and willing? to provide things that other girls may frown upon.”
-Calvin G., 32, legal assistant
“What I find different about plus-size ladies is how sexy, soulful and sensuous they are, like Mo’Nique or Jill Scott. When I’ve dated heavier women, they have been truly understanding, open-minded, and love to dance and do whatever it takes to maintain a healthy relationship with minimal drama.”
-Erik M., 42, actor
Uh Huh! Check out the page because some of the brothas who gave their opinions are FINE! Thickettes its our time!
Jennifer’s Gap Ad was officially released last week. The photos were taken in July but Jennifer recently gave the approval for Gap to continue with the ad despite her family tragedy.
Here’s what Jennifer Hudson’s close friend Superstar James had to say about Beyonce.
“How evil can someone be?”
So i wasnt going to write about this but it is really really bugging me. Especially when people are calling my phone saying how nice it was of Beyonce to come to the funeral and show her support. And i have to sit back and hold everything i wanna say inside. But i cant do it no more. Beyonce did not come to the funeral nor did she call, text, send a card or hell send a damn email. If there are millions of people who are leaving Jennifer and Julia and myself messages and sending there prayers and condelences and these people don’t even know them why couldnt she? Every singer that Jennifer admires and had been a role model for her growing up even until now has called, from Aretha to Shirley Murdock to even present day singers like Chrisette Michelle. And yall know how much Jennifer loves Beyonce and she couldn’t even have her assistant call or nothing. But yet her camp is allowing her to recieve credit for coming to the funeral and being there for Jennifer and her family. Bullshit! This just pisses me off. Once again thanks to everyone who has be there for us. And sorry if i offended any of Beyonce fans by writing this but if i just couldn’t keep sitting back and reading articles and emails and having my phone ring about how nice it was of Beyonce to come out! (Source)
I got this tip on Friday but now Superstar James has his myspace page/blog private. It’s understandable since he probably received so many messages with people asking him questions. I mean do I even have to say anything about his comment since ya’ll already know how I feel about Beyonce! I will say this if it’s true what goes around comes around. I mean she couldn’t call to at least say I am praying for Jennifer? Oh but she had time to tell the world she wanted to sing for Obama right? Whatever!
I RECEIVED EMAILS TODAY ASKING ME ABOUT THE PICTURES ON JULIA’S MYSPACE PAGE. WELL CHECK THEM OUT AND SEE THE COMMENTS THAT TMZ SAID SHE HAS UNDER HER PICTURES.
OKAY WHAT DO YOU THINK? I PERSONALLY DON’T THINK SHE PUT THESE COMMENTS UP AND EVEN THOUGH SOME ARE SAYING THESE WERE TAKEN AFTER THE FUNERAL THERE IS NO PROOF BY LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES. FANTASIA HAS KNOWN JENNIFER FOR YEARS SO THESE COULD’VE BEEN FROM LAST YEAR.
I PRAY I AM RIGHT AND I WISH PEOPLE WOULD LEAVE THIS FAMILY ALONE.
“Thank you all for your prayers and your calls. Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately. Here is a picture of Julian and what he was last seen wearing. Once again thank you all for being there for us through this tough time.”
UPDATE: JASON HUDSON’S SUV AND THE BODY OF A LITTLE BOY WAS FOUND ON THE WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO. POLICE HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THAT THE BOY IS JULIAN KING. STORY DEVELOPING………..
JENNIFER, DARNELL (HER MOM), AND JULIA (SISTER & JULIAN’S MOM)
JENNIFER HUDSON’S MOTHER AND BROTHER WERE FOUND SHOT TO DEATH IN HER MOTHER’S HOME.
Sources confirm to E! News that Jennifer Hudson’s mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, was found dead Friday afternoon in a house on the South Side of Chicago that is listed in Donerson’s name.
Officer John Mirabelli of the Chicago Police Department tells E! that officers were called to the 7000 block of Yale Avenue in the neighborhood of Englewood, where just before 3 p.m. they discovered two unresponsive adults-one male, one female-who had apparently been shot to death.
The shooting is at this time believed to be domestic, according to police. Various reports are claiming that the other victim was Hudson’s older brother, Jason Hudson.
A 7-year-old boy named Julian King has also been reported missing, but authorities aren’t confirming whether he’s a relative of Jennifer Hudson.
Per the Chicago Tribune, police are looking for a white 1994 Chevrolet Suburban registered to Jason Hudson with Illinois license plate No. X584859. They say the boy could be inside.
Mirabelli could not confirm the victims’ identities, but a source close to Jennifer Hudson confirmed to E! that a representative of the family’s church, Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist, had been told by a family member that Darnell Donerson had been killed.
A police spokeswoman told the Tribune that the female victim was shot in the head, while a 29-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound to the chest. (Source)
PLEASE PRAY FOR JENNIFER AND PRAY THAT THE MISSING BOY IS SAFE AND FOUND.
OF COURSE NEW YORK SORRY A** HAD TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT JEN & PUNK!
“He’s really loving being Mr. Jennifer Hudson. I think he’s loving the lavish things she brings to his life, he’s seeing the world due to Jennifer’s success,” Tiffany tells In Touch. “[But] can you love this person if they lose all of this tomorrow? She needs to find out. I just hope people are marrying each other for the right reasons.” New York’s not optimistic about the couple’s future. “It’s a mixed match, it won’t work,” she says. “He’ll be in her shadow like Al Reynolds was to Star Jones, like Stedman Graham is to Oprah.” There’s also a good reason David wasn’t the right match for Tiffany on I Love New York 2. “When we were in Miami together, he didn’t even try anything [on me]!” she says. “Maybe I wasn’t his type, maybe I wasn’t big enough for him.” “His heart is way big,” Tiffany says of David, who proposed to Jennifer after dating less than a year. “Two weeks ago, I ran into [Jennifer and David] and I didn’t say much,” reveals Tiffany. “I said ‘Goodbye, Punk!’ and she looked at me like ‘What!’ I know his name’s David, but I call him Punk.” (Source)
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A STEDMAN AND LETTING YOUR WOMAN DO HER THING AND DON’T HATE ON THE THICKNESS NEW YORK! YOU HAD TO BUY YOUR DOUBLE D’S WHILE THICK WOMEN ARE BLESSED WITH THE BTC MEMBERSHIP!
