The Fat Positive Lounge

[Soft*Silver]

I now have three teens volunteering in my store. One has Aspbergers. One is a teen mom from a rape. And one is an extremely overweight gal. (All are very open about themselves and what I just expressed so not disclosing anything they dont openly state themselves.) I have become a magnet for such kids. I have a waiting list of kids who want to volunteer. So, my plans of opening a teen store have been pushed forward.

All these kids know what its like to be singled out and hated. called names. bullied. two are now homeschooled because of all of that.

Just like Pretty & Plus is just a front for my real business, which is helping and supporting people and helping them become happy about themselves, the teen store will have the same mission.

Everything will be under ten dollars so that all teens can afford something.

To work in the store, they will have to work in P&P first, to get the skills under my tutelage and then get promoted to work in the teen store.

There will be a steering committee of teens who will develop the store.

And the profits will all go to the non profit I support and helped start, the Diva Donations, which loans out homecoming and prom dresses to kids who cant afford to go to proms. They also have a few suits and tuxes too for the teens who wont wear dresses. Call that cool??

I never expected this but its been handed to me by the deity I worship and I have embraced it...
