11 BIG GIRLS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
Here at TGN we have discovered the lack of big women in music, we wanted to celebrate our favourite artists and their curves and say good- bye to the size 0.
Missy Elliot One of Hip Hops first ladies is also one of the genres first big ladies. The ‘Work It’ singer not only had to deal with the over male dominated genre but above size ‘0’ waist line could be considered as disasterous. However, after many years in the industry, her talent shone through. She finally made the big time and she hasn’t looked back since.
Cass Elliot
20 sell out tour at the London Palladium. Her and The Mamas and Papas were inducted in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, not bad eh.

Adele
The young Londoner has just released her second album and has got many plaudits for how graceful a record she has produced. Now with her second record ‘21’ going straight to number one in the album chart, she is showing the other slimmer ladies how it is done. Adele is in a league of her own, literally.
