I know some of you are dreading the holidays, because it means family, and that means a round of pinching and poking, asking when you’re going to lose some weight and get married. Most of it is insults under the guise of “but we really care about you!” Let’s face it, by this time, we [...]

Phat Girlz - Featurette
Posted Apr 04, 2006
A smart-mouthed aspiring fashion designer (Mo’Nique) struggles to find love and acceptance in a world full of “hot bodied” babes.
