We're winding down to our last few days of the 28 Days of Self Love Challenge.  It's the last "Friday Date Day" suggestion and we want you to make this a night to remember.  

Growing up I was a tom boy.  I loved to play outdoors with my older brother but my mom wanted me to be a model.  She invested a lot of money into several modeling agencies, photos, wardrobe and so much more.  She even invested in a finishing school for me, and yes I had to walk with a book on my head, and sit down and stand up and walk up and down stairs with a book on my head.  At the time I thought it was silly and at first I didn't take any of it seriously.

The instructor was this beautiful black woman that looked like she just stepped off the runway.  I remember one class I attended where she asked every girl there to imagine their prom night.  At this time I was like 14 or 15 so I'd never been to prom but I couldn't wait for the opportunity to go.  It was something I'd imagined since middle school.  

She then asked each of us to share what we would do to prepare for the prom.  We all admitted to shopping for the perfect dress, and making sure our hair was perfect and putting a lot of effort into how we looked.  When we all finished sharing she looked at us and said that is how you should prepare yourself everyday.  Everyday you should put that much effort into your wardrobe and appearance.  

I valued what she said that day and I began to put a lot more time in preparing myself for the day.  For this "self date day" put forth just as much effort as you would for a special date with someone special.  

Dress to impress!

When the Mic Crosses the Line: The ASU Honey Beez, Joe Bullard, and the Fight for Respect BY Phatabulous Magazine Staff 10-5-2025 It was supposed to be another electric halftime show , the type of performance that makes HBCU culture shine. But what should’ve ended with applause and celebration turned into a moment that stunned thousands both in the stands and online. As the Alabama State University Honey Beez, a nationally recognized plus-size dance team, exited the field after their energetic performance against Florida A&M University, FAMU’s longtime band announcer Joe Bullard took the mic and made a comment that has since echoed far beyond the stadium: “The new face of Ozempic.” The remark, referencing a popular weight loss drug, drew audible gasps from the crowd. In video clips that quickly went viral, you can hear fans questioning what they just heard. What was meant to be a lighthearted halftime moment suddenly turned into a public moment of body-shaming, disrespect, and disb...

When Jokes Cross the Line - What Cardi B's Comments Really Reveal

When Jokes Cross the Line What Cardi B's Comments Really Reveal Phatabulous Magazine Staff Growing up, I was always the fat one. There were other girls with my name, but I was always described as “the short fat one.” I hated it. I never got so used to it that I was okay with it, I just learned not to lash out every time. Most of the time, I let it go because I realized people weren’t trying to get a rise out of me. Maybe they didn’t know. Maybe they didn’t care. But the truth is, it always hurt. That’s why when Cardi B, one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world, made recent comments that many found fatphobic, it struck a nerve. While speaking with fans online about her WWE t-shirts selling out, Cardi joked: “The box sets are completely sold out, especially because you fat fks — clearly you guys are fat as fk, no Chick-fil-A for y’all.” She went on to say: “Now, knowing that my fans is fat, I can’t even make fun of fat people no more. Don’t call me fatphobic, y’all, ’cau...
