Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2022 1:09 am
Perfect for our U.S. Culture and Media Forum and what Foggy had in mind when he created the Forum... SUPER-SIZED SALON!
After all the encouragement and constant messages from everybody in the titular Mama June topic (thank you Foggy!), it became clear that what Foggy and Fogbowzers wanted was a topic about this female-empowering, entrepreneurial teevee show on WEtv. And, as a special treat for the honorable Fogbow Members, below are the FIRST THREE EPISODES for this soon-to-be-iconic program! These are ONE HOUR shows but the videos are 43 minutes each without commercials. There's a link below for live WEtv if you'd like to watch the show live with the commercials.

For the tiny few Fogbowzers that haven't seen the first three episodes live on WEtv (and the link to 24/7 live WEtv is https://ustvgo.tv/we-tv/)
S1 E1 · Big Girl Revolution Jul 29, 2022
Jamie leaves her house for the first time in two years to open her new salon; sparks fly when the old crew reunites; plans for the grand reopening are threatened by a plus-size custom furniture fail.
S1 E2 · One Big Blow Out Aug 5, 2022
Tensions are high as equipment issues, Jamie's absence and a blow-out between A-Love and BB divide the team; salon receptionist Astra changes the vibe from heated to glitter and good times.
S1 E3 Lurkin' on the Low (Gonna Get Demarco)
Jamie grows increasingly suspicious of Demarco and devises a plan with the girls to catch him cheating; trouble between the twins comes to a head over collard greens; everyone is left wondering if Babydoll can succeed amidst all the drama.

Those episodes above are to get everybody up to speed because NEXT FRIDAY is the BIG BIG episode!! You know we'll have wall-to-wall coverage of that!
Generally, 007 said she hooks up with men, but her last relationship was a polyamorous thouple with two women. She said it was too stressful though.
I know everybody is as excited about Super-Sized Salon as I am and together, we'll have a fabulous journey with this plus-sized positive show with a small business owner working with her team to make a big success in Vegas!

June 21, 2022 Frances Price
WE tv spotlights entrepreneurs in the plus size community with the new reality series Super Sized Salon. The show follows the staff at Babydoll Beauty Couture, a beauty salon catering to plus size women. “At Babydoll, there’s always a happy moment, sad moment, uplifting moment or some bullsh-t,” one of the stars of the show says in the trailer.
The salon, started by Jamie Lopez, glams up women in the plus size community. The staff includes receptionist Astra, aka “Funky Chunky,” holistic hair care specialist “A-Love,” fashion stylist “007,” celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist, Taj, and makeup/lash artist and esthetician, BB.
The women all work together but at times tensions heat up, including when some of them question if Lopez has what it takes to run the business as she struggles to get around the salon and uses a walker.
She asks her employees in one scene, “Do you guys not take me seriously as a boss because of my mobility issues?”
The women also disagree on how to run the salon. “The energy in here is f–ked up Jamie, and I need you to fix it!” one of the women says.

As Growing Tensions Cause Blow-Outs Among Stylists, Can Babydoll Beauty Couture Salon Come Together To Make Women of All Sizes Feel and Look Beautiful?
New York, NY – June 16, 2022 – WE tv announced today a new series, Super Sized Salon, which follows the staff of the first beauty salon that caters to the plus size community, Babydoll Beauty Couture, as they are put to the test when challenges threaten the mission of the salon. Consisting of seven one hour-long episodes, Super Sized Salon premieres on Friday, July 29 at 10:30pm ET/PT on WE tv. The series will also stream on ALLBLK every Tuesday following its WE tv airing.
Babydoll Beauty Couture owner Jamie Lopez created this unique space after experiencing a tremendous amount of discrimination in the beauty industry for being plus-sized. Along with Jamie, the women who work here are determined to make everyone look and feel beautiful, no matter their size — but with their loud and diverse personalities, drama is always just around the corner!The new series follows salon receptionist Astra, aka “Funky Chunky”, is loved by everyone for her upbeat and uplifting personality that helps keep the group going when the times get tense. Holistic hair care specialist “A-Love” loves hard and brings laughter to any situation, but at times her “boughetto” temper gets the best of her. Fashion stylist “007” is one of Jamie’s closest (and most protective) friends, satisfying clients with the hottest plus size intimates and custom bling jobs. Celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist, Taj, is the responsible, level-headed “mama bear” of the bunch, serving as the second-in-command salon manager when Jamie is not around. Last but not least is make-up/lash artist and esthetician, BB, who has no problem calling it as she sees it!
With conflicting personalities and consistent workplace drama, will this crew be able to keep their cool as tensions heat up? Will they be able to get through it together and satisfy their ultimate mission of making all women feel beautiful?!
