BBWs On Stage – Can The Glamazons Take America?
We were watching the train wreck that is “America’s Got Talent” to see how bad some people are who let us see that show and got a big surprise. Towards the end of the June 26 show after Jerry Springer narrated a comment of “Has New York saved the best and most beautiful for last?” They started interviewing four absolutely lovely BBWs, featured as Ginger Snap, Caramella, Candy Apple, and Lady Finger. These women were known as “The Glamazons” of Astoria, New York and my Adam’s apple got stuck seeing these women on camera, they were big and in charge and very confident. I wasn’t sure if the show was trying to poke fun at the girls or show its effect on people because these women were definitely getting appreciative looks from some of the other participants in the waiting area.
When they took the stage, there seemed to be a somewhat mixed reaction from the audience and David Hasselhoff’s first comment was: “Here they are … the real kittens.” to which Ginger Snap replied “the Plus-Sized version”. getting a big smile and the peace sign from Hoff. Is it possible that Hoff is a BBW fan in the closet? It seemed like some editing may have occurred because David made a comment about loving a show that just didn’t have any context, but it seemed like he was enjoying the view at the time.
Then the girls performed “Lady Marmalade” from “Moulin Rouge” and it was obvious that if there were any naysayers in the audience, they had earned it. We could have done it with a little less than Jerry Springer’s mug and commentary, but the show the girls were putting on was fantastic. His vocalization was near perfect with no noticeable errors in the song and his dancing and show fit his song. If they had background sets and time for a full show, I think they would have blown us away. David was dancing in his seat looking at the ladies and Piers seemed to be enraptured, he reminded me of the cartoon wolf that a she-wolf and her eyes would bulge and her tongue would fall to the ground, she had that kind of enraptured look.
When the girls finished their performance, they were getting a standing ovation and cheers from the audience and David announced “You are the plus size Pussycat Dolls.” David then followed up with more comments that if he was not trained to say, it shows that he may not fully follow the media belief of how beautiful he is, as he continued with “You are about representing what you feel inside no matter what. Look, we had so many girls that came to this show who come here, they look skinny and hot, they think they have their you-know-what together and they SUCK, and you look fantastic. “
Then the camera switched to Piers and continued the eulogy with “Ladies, luckily for you guys, I’m one of those English people who are really into the Curvier look. So, I was immediately drawn to your charms, and I thought if you sang how you see, a little pleasure awaited us, and that was a pleasure, “so he was convinced.
They trade Sharon Osborn, the girlfriend of rock legend Ozzy Osborn, for her comments. “Well, first of all, four very beautiful women and you know what, more power to you because you are a great example for today’s woman.”
The praise festival ends with the ladies getting three yeses from the judges, what more could we ask for, as BBW fans? The Glamazons now advance to the semifinals in Las Vegas. My hope is that when the girls perform in Las Vegas they will be over the top and jaw-dropping their competition, and as a BBW Admirer, my BBW Bride and I will watch the night they perform and vote for them as many times as necessary. possible. It would be great if a group of BBWs could win this competition and show the world that you don’t have to be anorexic to be gorgeous and gorgeous. Join us in voting for The Glamazons.
About the Glamazons (From their website): Born on a little island in a little place called the East Village, the Glamazons never lost their baby fat. These singing and dancing girls prove that the stage is big enough for the plump cuties. Giving you a big hot helping of raunchy burlesque, striptease, go dancing, and sassy songs … they serve it up with a sexy style of their own. Girls have been described as the plus-size Pussy Cat Dolls. In 2002, Meryl Lady Finger founded The Glamazons, bringing together bold women from all walks of life to grace the stage with their beauty and talent. The members have changed since the beginning of the group. The girls have left to pursue their solo careers. But Meryl fought to keep her vision alive. Candy Apple was discovered in an open call in January 2004 and the duo remained stable until they met Caramela, a plus size model, in May 2005 in a photo shoot for a book called “Big Girl Knits” (published in April 2006, a knitting pattern book for plus size girls). The girls then chose Ginger Snap in a 12-week contest titled America’s Next Top Glamazon. The quartet clicked immediately and had incredible dynamics! They have crashed at parties, dressing rooms, and even stages. The Glamazons are 4 fierce ladies who sing and dance on their way through New York City. They have been performed at numerous venues including The Roxy, Avalon, and The Rainbow Room. These girls have also been spotted strutting on WB’s morning show on more than one occasion. They are strong, sexy, plus-size women who can sing anything from showtunes to hip hop.
