Bbws on Stage – Can the Glamazons Take America?

We were watching the train wreck that is “America’s Got Talent” to see just how bad some people are that they let on that show and got a big surprise. Towards the end of the June 26th show after Jerry Springer narrated a comment of “Has New York saved the best and most beautiful for last?” they started interviewing four absolutely lovely BBWs, introduced as Ginger Snap, Caramella, Candy Apple, and Lady Finger. These ladies were known as “The Glamazons” from Astoria, NY and my Adam’s Apple got stuck seeing these ladies on camera, they were Large and In Charge and very confident in themselves. I wasn’t sure if the show was trying to make fun of the girls or show their effect on people because these ladies were definitely getting appreciative looks from some of the other participants in the waiting area.

When they took the stage there seemed to be a bit of a mixed reaction from the audience and the first comment from David Hasselhoff was, “Now here’s…the real pussycats.” to which Ginger Snap responded “the Plus-Sized version.” garnering a big smile and peace sign from the Hoff.

If they had background sets and the time for a full show I believe they would have blown us away. David was dancing in his seat watching the ladies and Piers seemed to be enraptured, he reminded me of the wolf in the cartoons that sees a female wolf and his eyes bug out and tongue drops to the ground, he had that type of enraptured look.

When the girls finished their performance they were getting a standing ovation and cheers from the audience and David announced “You are the Plus-Sized Pussycat Dolls.” David then followed up with even more comments that if he was not coached to say, shows that he may not fully follow medias belief of what beautiful is as he continued with “You are about representing what you feel inside no matter what you look at, we had so many girls come on this show that come in here, they look skinny and hot, they think they got their you-know-what together and they SUCK, and you look fantastic”

The camera then changed over to Piers and he [...]
