Thick ladies in fashion






Thick women are making it big in the fashion industry, I mean heyyy…. Am a thick beautiful girl myself so I absolutely enjoy it when the media embraces our beauty.
I mean take for example Gabi Gregg, Two years ago the American fashion blogger Gabi Gregg, 27, posted a picture of herself on her style diary, gabifresh.com, wearing a bikini. The post was written about everywhere, from Teen Vogue to the New York Post. It culminated in an appearance on the American television show Today, in which Gregg was asked to explain her decision to put the picture online. Why? Because she is a size 20, and, along with an increasing number of her fashion-hungry plus-size peers, she has had enough of hiding.

Her "fatkini" post (as she calls it) led to a contract designing bikinis for the American company Swimsuits for All, and a column for American InStyle. Now she has set up her own plus-size clothing line. Gregg is often cited as an inspiration by her peers, who aim to prove that, when it comes to style, size doesn't matter.
"I knew it would be empowering for women to see a plus-size girl proudly wearing a two-piece," Gregg says from her home in Los Angeles. While some commenters accused her of being unhealthy - or not fat enough - most responses were positive. "People told me that I'd made them feel it was OK to go to the beach again. Who knew something so simple could be so life-changing?” . (Racheal Dove 2014)
She said it all, Love the skin and body you in then the rest will follow!!!!
