Wouldn't it be cool if there were a fat version of the Pussycat Dolls? I'm fully sucked in to Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll, eventhough I don't actually like the Pussycat Dolls (the girl group version anyhow, whereas the original burlesque stage show was cool). It's good times watching the contestants develop the songs and dances they're assigned to each week.
San Francisco, CA, and Boston, MA, actually do have hip-hop dance troupes for fat girls, known as the Phat Fly Girls. I heard about them several years ago and it looks like Big Moves has since added a modern dance troupe, called Mass Movement. Cool!
A couple years ago I was stopped on my way out of a restaurant by two zaftig women asking if I was interested in doing burlesque. They said they thought I had a good look for it and gave me their (post)card, for Big Burlesque. Aww!
And who the heck isn't charmed by The Devil-ettes? Most of their dancers are not zaftig, but they're a size-positive troupe in general. They're actually auditioning right now, if you're interested! Here's page, if you're interested.
Lastly, an honorable mention to The Cock-T's, who I found out about via the Devil-ette's MySpace profile. They don't purport to be size-positive or anything... they just look like they're having a good time.
