Pop Culture: Big Body Beauties By: Michelle Cuttino
NeNe Leakes:
A surge of plus-size powerhouses are making headlines in the fashion and entertainment industries. These women are not only rich and famous, but their confidence and accomplishments are making a profound impact on society. Their prominence is also beginning to spill over into the publishing industry, with more authors writing plus-size heroines into their novels. We’ ve compiled a list of fifteen noteworthy“ Big Body” beauties who are putting the POP back in Pop Culture!
Reality TV star turned television personality, producer, author and fashion designer, Linnethia“ NeNe” Leakes is definitely one to watch. Her celebrity rose as the leading lady of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Her divorce and remarriage to Gregg Leakes was publicized on the Housewives and led to their spin-off series, I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding. With stints on Glee, The New Normal, Celebrity Apprentice, and Dancing With the Stars, a fashion line that sold out within days of its launch, and her Broadway debut in the musical, Cinderella, we can only expect bigger and better things on the horizon for America’ s favorite Atlanta Housewife.
