Old Navy, who previously claimed that larger sizes require more fabric and thus plus size clothing was priced higher than straight sizes, made a smart move today with their BODEQUALITY launch. 

A few weeks ago Plus Model and Fat Activist Saucyé West posted a green square on Instagram with the hashtag #FightForInclusivity along with a simple and understandable caption: "If I'm tired, I know are too..." 
This post was just the beginning,  her call to action. 

Netflix is investing in their Nailed It! host, Nicole Byer, with a new one-hour comedy special, set to record this September in New York's Gramercy Theater.
Tickets for the two night event have already sold out. So while you can't be in the audience for Nicole's special, a new season of Nailed It! is just around the corner. 
Season 6 hits the streamer on Sept 15th.

Lizzo has been teasing new music since last week, but today she revealed that her new single, Rumors, is featuring Cardi B.

After years of disappointment with America's Next Top Model's treatment of plus models, it seems a former contestant is taking matters into her own hands. ANTM Cycle 3 contestant Toccara Jones is hosting Thick House for Facebook Watch, along with judges EJ King and fashion blogger and stylist Kelly Augustine. 
Not a lot of details about the series is currently available, but rumor is Glee alum Amber Riley will make an appearance as a guest judge. According to Deadline, Thick House is part of Facebook Watch’s We the Culture programming slate, which is aimed at amplifying the voices of Black content creators. Thick House is produced by Sickbird Productions. Founded by Angelica Nwandu, The Shade Room is an Instagram-based Black media company.
Meet the 7 hopefuls below (courtesy of NYLON), and catch Thick House, when it premieres on May 16th at 4pm on Facebook Watch.

As someone completely unfamiliar with Pageantry, it's a pleasant surprise to discover an entire network keeping track of all the Plus Size pageants. Turns out there's not only a Ms. Full Figured USA, but many other celebrations of larger bodies.

We've been talking about it for months now, but the final season of Hulu's Shrill is almost here. With less than a month to go, the streamer dropped another trailer for the Aidy Brant series whose third and final season premieres on May 7th. Check it out below.

I have personally been looking forward to the release of Netflix's Thunder Force starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer for over a year. The action comedy, written and directed by Ben Falcone, was clearly made by a group of good friends who enjoy playing together.

Every year Swimsuits for All releases new designs in collaboration with plus size icons like Ashley Graham and Gabi Fresh, and while 2020 was a very different year, the brand and designers didn't let it stop them. Check out some of Gabi's new looks with Swimsuits for All: 

Controversial actress Lena Dunham has launched a plus size line in collaboration with 11 Honoré. 

Back in August it was announced that the award winning singer, Lizzo, signed a deal with Amazon and now it seems her first project is on its way. 
You may remember Lizzo's struggle to find plus size dancers for her performances so, according to a casting call shared by Variety, she's taking things into her own hands with a yet-to-be-titled dancer competition series for the streaming platform. 

What if Fleabag was in New York City... and she was fat? Enter Big Girl, the award-winning series from creator and star Katharine Scarborough which provides an honest, vulgar, and hilarious look at the life of Katie, a single, Big girl just trying to live her best 30-something life in the Big city. 

It's a moment many of us have been waiting for: plus size superheroes! Not just a token fatty on a super team, but TWO kick-ass women who happen to be larger than your average action star. 
Thunder Force, which is hitting Netflix on April 9th, released a trailer today. Watch it below.

After an extended hiatus it seems Nicole Byer's hit Netflix series, Nailed It, is finally returning! The 5th season of the streamers hit baking competition is scheduled to drop on March 26th, but you can watch the trailer for the new season right now, below!
