FFFWEEK is in it's 6th years and I'm sad to announce this will be the last year. I was first introduced to the wonderful event though social media. I told myself next year I'll be there to rep for the Chicago plus scene. Blessing from God has allowed me to be in attedence. I've had the honor of meeting Ms. Devoe while she was in Chicago for the model search for this years FFFWeek. Her fun spirit showed when she photo bombed the picture I was taking of some of the would be models. I excited to see how the grand finale plays out.

The first event will be the FFFWeek 2014 90′s Theme Launch Party. It's a fundraiser for the Alex House Project and will be hosted by Bree Woodley, 2014 FACE of FFFWeek.

I lost sight. I forgot who I was. I was trying to do to much. I didn't use my voice. In preparing for some major events I'll be attending I got lost. I started to second guess myself. In wanting to be the best I didn't do my best. Trying to stand out I was thinking about others and not being myself. I'm a fat ass goof ball. I like wearing funny tees, I like have my breast out. I enjoy wearing what others find odd. I started my blog not to be famous but to let other woman who look like me know that you're not alone. To tell fat girls you're special and don't let this cruel world steal your joy. I had to take my own advice. I wouldn't say I was depressed because that's a very serious illness that I don't want to make light of. I had a major case of the Winter Blues and started a petty party table of one. Thank you to every one that reached out to me about the blog means a lot that I have you all supporting me.

I'm a very random person. So expect some random looks for FFFWeek!
