Each year Hollywood NOW hosts an annual event where women of all sizes come together to celebrate a day of self-acceptance to promote positive body image. The celebration has expanded to a weekend full of events, which includes a launch party, festival, and body image panel discussion. The Love Your Body community celebration will unfold October 21-23, 2010 in West Hollywood.
Meghan McCain will host the festival which will take place Saturday, October 22rd at West Hollywood Park Auditorium, from 12-4 pm. Admission is free. West Hollywood Auditorium is located at 647 N. San Vicente in West Hollywood. The community event will include performances by various singers, actors, dancers, and spoken word artists. The pinnacle of the festivities is the “real women” fashion show where models will be flaunting the styles of various plus-size designers and retailers.
“I think Meghan McCain is a great host for our Love Your Body Day celebration because she a positive role model for young women, but despite her many accomplishes keeps getting verbally attacked about her curvy frame in the media. We are both fed up with our society’s obsession with thinness and unrealistic standard of beauty,” said Chenese Lewis, president, Hollywood NOW. “United, we hope to send a positive message to young women that beauty comes in all colors, shapes, and sizes.”
