Plus Size Celebrities - Popularity or Acceptance?

If we sit back and think about it, Sydney's Closet has seen society coming around as a whole to accepting plus-size celebrities.  And now, more than ever, they are being looked at for their pure talent...on the inside, not just what shows on the outside.  Below is only a handful of the many talented and lovely celebrities that have grabbed our attention in the last year as being outstanding role models for the plus size community.  Do you have a favorite, or someone who has made a difference in your life?

Bravo to Melissa McCarthy - Emmy Winner & Dress Designer!

Melissa McCarthy was radiant and beautiful at the Emmy Awards last night!  And that was even before she won the Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy Series! 

Her deep purple dress looked regal, and draped her body in just the right way, with a tasteful dip in the front for a V-neck opening.  In a phone call to The Ellen Show today she said she helped design her dress with designer Daniella Pearl.  In UsWeekly she is quoted as saying she didn't find anything out there she liked.  The Fashion Team at Sydney's Closet would have loved to outfit her with a gorgeous gown :-)
