The Lavender Journal: Fashionable And Thick: Changing The Way You View Sista Big Boned

When you hear the word 'fat' what comes to mind? Obese? Or someone just larger than your "average"? Well Dee Moore, creator of Fashionable And Thick, is here to put a twist to all of that! When asked about her reasoning behind the clothing line, her response was perfectly put: 'Society always frowns upon ladies who are a size 12 & up. We have so many negative stigmatizing outlooks on us such as we are lazy, slouchy, unhealthy, unattractive and just plain out FAT! My # 1 focus is for them to feel comfortable in their skin. I want every plus sized female to know you are not alone and that you can look and feel sexy without being so revealing.' FASHIONABLE AND THICK is a t-shirt line that's changing the way fat is used, created with the plus sized female in mind. It has also grown into an ambassador brand, so ladies that means send in your info to represent!!

Speaking of representing, this summer, July 9th, 2016, is the clothing line's 2nd fashion show Fashionable And Thick Presents: Glamour, Glitz, & Curves (which also benefits breast cancer research). So you know what that means...CASTING CALL TIME!! This is not your average fashion show. Dee will be casting ladies from sizes 12-24. Being a model is NOT a requirement. "It's not all about the latest fashion trends",says Dee, "for me, I do this show every year to help uplift and empower the next plus sized female. Glamour, Glitz, & Curves is an evening of confidence and style" As I mentioned before, it's casting call time! The first casting is FEBRUARY 21ST, in Houston, TX. The 2nd is March 6th, and the third is April 3rd!! So, if you are a curvy diva and would love to showcase it while showing its perfectly fine to not be a size 2, then this show is for you!! Make sure to visit http://www.fashionableandthick.net/ to learn more about the company and the founder, and to get your presale tickets for the show!! I fully support this movement, I feel I have to put on right along my fellow thick ladies!! Share this info with everyone you know, cuz it's about to go down!! And of course, I have visuals from last year's successful show and the following casting call info/dates! Enjoy.
