This is an exciting topic to blog about, especially for me… as most people know, back in 2008, myself and a few of my fellow BBW’s sued Adultcon for size discrimination. We rented booth space, but when we sent in photos of ourselves to be placed on their event website, we were denied due to not being “height/weight proportionate”. It was a major slap in the face considering that we work just as hard in this industry, if not harder, than the skinny porn folk. It is also known that AVN is not an avid supporter of BBW. There are very few BBW related movies that ever get nominated and there are definitely NO BBW talent categories. Exxxotica is a neutral convention… though they welcome us, they do not promote us as being a part of the event. At the end of the day BBW’s are like the red-headed step child of porn. I understand that we are in what’s considered to be a fetish/niche market, but come on.
The exciting news is… there is a NEW convention that is exclusively for BBW’s and the fans who love us! It is called BBW FanFest and it pops off for the first time in Las Vegas, July of 2012, the weekend prior to the annual Las Vegas BBW Bash! There will be more details to follow very soon… be guaranteed that I will keep you up to speed on this event as it unfolds… I’m VERY excited!
Here is a random pic from one of the photo shoots we did for the BBW FanFest marketing campaign…

awesome FanFest BBW
I wish I could attend! But alas, I live on the other side of the country. It’s awesome that this convention even exists, though! It’s a shame that size discrimination exists today. I’m all for being more healthy, but skinnier models aren’t necessarily advocating health through their bodies, but rather a disregard for health in order to achieve an arbitrary beauty. But I’m just ranting! I hope BBW Fanfest goes well! =)
I hate the people discriminate other women for his size, the real women have curves, and the real men appreciate curves.
Deiree I aam your number # 1 Fan in this world i love you unconditionally,you maakes me smile everyday
