Ok so the Oscar Awards over with and now our news is filled with the countless ignorant comments made by people in the media. Every channel I turned to all I saw was…Who was best dressed…worst dressed…Monique…and honey that Gabourey Sidibe (how you doin?) After a few days I was sick of picking up a magazine in the store and seeing the same old story about what happened at the darn event. Yet there has been something that has been sitting on my soul and I have to speak about it before I explode.
Precious was a wonderful film. It was full of drama that I myself could not fathom. I knew that there were situations out there but I would have never imagine someone would be as brave as Lee Daniels would put this racy film out. Now that I have paid my respects to the movie…I have some issues with the “Precious Frinzzy” I have no issues with the movie, nor the people involved with it….but I do have some reservations with the craze.
I feel that the movie was told through the previews….that I could not even enjoy the movie because I knew what was going to happen…who was going to say what…what caused her to get hit…I knew!!!!!!! Now me personally, I hate to know what is going to happen in a movie before I sit down to watch it… yet no one had a problem with that but me (hmmmm….. :/ )
Not only did that bother me, but the negative attention that Gabbie was receiving bothered me the most. Now I will admit I cannot say that she is a Kim Kardashian…or a Jennifer Lopez….but she has her own beauty. Although the two women that I mentioned are gorgeous….we are use to seeing them…. When a girl of Gabbie’s complexity comes along we want to run for our lives. But why is she complex? Because, we are not use to seeing A: a YOUNG black female B: a YOUNG black female of her size, get all the attention about a movie that has seeped the nation. We are afraid of accepting something that is different. We don’t know what we want because the ideal man or woman is constantly changing.
I can say that Gabbie is very confident and she does not let the negativity bring her down. She always carries herself as an articulate…educated….young black woman.
Precious had to much hype arounf it…but you know what I support our young black actresses…..sooo hey do ya thing boo!
Now there is somethings that I must say….she could find some better color choices for her clothing. Now as a big girl I know how to work the colors…I particularly do not care what people call me….but how I feel. And I have to say when big girls wear purple we do look like Barney….So pick a different shade of purple…of blue… JUST A LITTLE FYI….
A lot of my inspiration comes from Raven Symone….we share similar characteristics and she always is fab! I just feel that is how all “Big Girls” should look. She is well put together…hair always done…clothes always fit right….she knows how to wear her curves…or as I like to say “she knows how to fit the waves”
I feel that Raven, for younger girls, broke that barrier between the skinny chick…and the big girl…and Gabbie is paving the road…So in a few months I can walk that path
