Toni Braxton Fat Shaming Her Sister on Braxton Family Values?

Editor-in-Chief, Madeline Figueroa-Jones — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:28:05 +0000

In season two of Braxton Family Values, Episode 11, the Braxton sisters believe they require counseling due to the fact that they just can’t seem to get along. The counseling session was supposed to bring issues to the table about why they are continually fighting. Everything was going well until Toni addresses her sister Traci. “I want Traci to lose 20-40 pounds now and stop thinking that her tummy sticking out like that is hot, ’cause it’s not.”

Needless to say, we are extremely disappointed, as I’m sure many of Toni’s plus size fans are. Traci’s weight can’t possibly be a reason as to why they are not getting along. What was even more shocking was the fact that no one could understand why Traci was immediately defensive and hurt by the comment. How would Traci losing weight make for a better relationship with her sister? I’m almost inclined to think that maybe Traci is right about feeling like she does not belong.

Traci may not have Toni’s figure, but she is beautiful in her own right. It’s perplexing that Toni Braxton would make Traci’s weight an issue when the family is plagued with plenty of REAL issues.

We can only hope that Toni Braxton thinks about the serious issues the family is facing, and not on her sister’s plus size frame.

Plus Size Winner of ANTM Whitney Thompson Ad Banned from Super Bowl?

Tulin Reid, Executive Marketing & Creative Director — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:52:02 +0000

Cycle 10 winner of ANTM, plus size model Whitney Thompson (as seen in PLUS Model Magazine), has launched a plus size dating website, TheBigAndTheBeautiful.com. It was just announced that an advertisement created for the Super Bowl was rejected by NBC because, “Unfortunately, it needs to be completely reworked for our air. S & P (Standards and Practices) wouldn’t approve it.”

Was the spot too hot for TV? Was it a publicity stunt to promote the website and ad without having to pay the outrageous cost of a single airing of a Super Bowl commercial? My marketing mind says it is the later. While the world needs to see more plus size women on television, ad campaigns, and online, I have a sneaky feeling this was a move to bring attention to Whitney Thompson’s latest endeavor.

Take a look at the ad below and see for yourself. Too racy for television? Another example that plus size is too hot for TV? Tell us what you think.

The number one Australian plus size brand City Chic, wowed audiences as they took center stage during L’oreal Fashion Week in Melbourne Australia. Showcasing their winter collection, City Chic brought a mixture of sexy runway looks, wearable evening and day wear, and models who easily inspired plus size women across the globe. City Chic did not hold back as super model Laura Wells strutted in a stunning lace, fishnet and shorts combination that most plus size designers would never see fit for plus size. Among the other models was crowd favorite Courtney Maxwell who is not only a model, but an assistant buyer for the brand. Courtney recently designed a collection of sleepwear which sold out to rave reviews. Also, all the way from the United States the winners of the City Chic Fashion Show contest, Sommer Green and Lola Parker were flown to Australia and participated in the fashion show.
