As actions towards size-acceptance do speak louder than words, we would like to inform the reader about the various functions two big girls, Cher and Lisa Marie, have created both online and off, for the plus size community.

Cher Rue and Lisa Marie are big girls that are firm believers in being healthy and losing weight, however, they feel that a person can't just sit home and wait for 50 pounds to come off, they say enjoy the ride and live your life.

These girls believe that they've made some difference in society for the best in regards to size-acceptance. They have a goal of teaching the world not to judge anyone by race, creed, age, size and sexuality. They mention that people are people and what is inside is the person.

For several years, Cher and Lisa Marie have been producing and hosting their own size-acceptance show called "The Big Girls Show." The show is produced at Aldelphia Cable Network in Santa Monica, CA., and is shown in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. It's not syndicated at this time in other areas of the United States, however, the girls have a friend in New York who has shown part of the show and viewers want to see more. So, perhaps in time the show will be available elsewhere.

Hosts of The Big Girls Show

The hosts of "The Big Girls Show" have appeared on "Good Morning America" and "The Insider" twice. On "The Big Girls Show," the hosts have reviewed plus size products, art pieces, furniture, clothing companies and have produced several fashion shows with plus size models.

Some of their visitors to the show include medical doctors to talk about plastic surgery, and many musical guests that are plus size. "I think mainstream can watch our show and learn that we are just the same as them, just a bigger size," Cher remarks. "We are also comical, so the show is entertaining, and we have the first "Big Girls Show Dating Game," which is like the old "Dating Game" years ago with three contestants and one person looking for a date. We just try to touch on anything or anyone who is part of the plus size community."

"The Big Girls Show" has opened many doors to allow Lisa Marie and Cher to help others in the plus size community. The girls offer their own workout video. Cher says, "We had a blast making the video, it was made without any practice to show people of size to just get up and move and have fun. We had fun making it, and it's also humorous. We sold a lot of the tapes at the BBW Bash and still get orders online. It's easy to do and fun to watch." The girls have recently filmed three documentary's from the United Kingdom, Japan and Russia. Visit The Big Girls Show website to see more about the show and their workout video.

They have The Big Girls Show official dating site too, where it's free to become a member.

Volupcity is another BBW night club located in West Hollywood, CA. that has around 130 people attend each Wednesday night.
