BIG SEXY is produced by Atlas Media Corporation for TLC, which premieres on August 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

Viewers will get to follow these five beautiful and fashion forward divas and take a closer look at their lives as confident plus-size women in their career and personal lives.  The press release says:

“From designing clothing to booking modeling gigs, BIG SEXY will follow the ladies as they take over Manhattan to make plus-size sexiness more mainstream. Weight bias is notoriously rampant in their chosen industries, and it is their mission to prove that a bigger girl – the girl that most Americans can relate to — can break the mold and change the fashion and cultural norms that have restricted and rejected them for so long.

Each episode will feature the women as they attend major industry events, parties and opportunities, all while giving a candid peek into the balancing of their personal, dating and family relationships as plus-size women. They are big, they are beautiful, and they are not sitting at home waiting for life to happen. They know better than anyone that real women can be sexy with curves — no matter what society says.”

AboutCurves.com Launches A Blogging Charity Campaign That Promotes Size Acceptance

Society is so focused on approving much smaller bodies and because of this a lot of women suffered from negative body image. Given the mindset that thin is beautiful, they forget to realize that size is not a limitation on what they can do on their lives and on what they can offer to the world. Our limitation to do things is not based on size. It is based on what we believe and feel about ourselves.

What we see in Hollywood, print and tv ads that portray extremely thin and extremely made over talents and models is not a real life. If we take them as our standard of being beautiful, then we can never live a happy life. Realistically happiness and fulfillment can never be based on size. Living proof of that you can see countless of happy, successful and fulfilled curvy women.

From August 8th to 21st , the campaign dubbed as “Lingerie Loves Your Curves” seeks participants from across the globe to blog topics about size-acceptance to combat industries that make money from women’s lack of self-esteem.
