MODEL MONDAY: Tazah Richardson Is Liberated, Living Her Best Life, And Looking Out For Black Girls

Source: Kia Caldwell / Kia Caldwell Name: Tazah Richardson IG: @tazahthemodelvixen Agency: Van Zandt Management Claim To Fame: Tazah Richardson went from staring at models in store windows to showing up on the cover of Model World Magazine.  Growing up as a plus-size child with slight difficulties learning in Northwest D.C. Tazah Richardson was faced with judgement everywhere she turned. Everything from her academic performance to her address was criticized by the people around her, with her size being the primary offender. She told HelloBeautiful how the constant judgement impacted her and how she overcame it in an exclusive interview.  “I had really low self-esteem. As a kid I stayed back in the first grade, and I was much bigger than all the other kids. In the second grade I was bigger than my second grade teacher which was super weird and I got teased a lot. As a kid I didn’t have very many friends .”  The children in her life weren’t the only ones who hurled negative comments at Richardson. As she navigated her childhood in a neighborhood considered “the ghetto ,” she encountered the effects of an educational system padded by those without a genuine interest in encouraging children.  View this post on Instagram Nothing to see here just me crushing on myself as usual #WCW : @kiacaldwellphoto : #MUATazah . . . #ModelTazah #FaceOfNCD #PlusModel #CurveModel #CurvyModel #SizeSexy #FreelanceModel #InternationalModel #PrintModel #RunwayModel #CoverModel #DMVModel #HonorYourCurves #CelebrateMySize #GoldenConfidence #CurvesNStyle #PMMModelSearch #PMMModelSpotlight #PMMLoveMyBody #BigHairDontCare #Portfolio #NewWork #CurvyBombshell #WithTheseCurves A post shared by Tazah Richardson (@tazahthemodelvixen) on Aug 28, 2019 at 7:53am PDT When she went to inquire about joining the band in middle school she was slammed by the leader immediately.  “I’ll never forget it. My mom was in the band, my dad was in the band, my mom was a majorette so I already knew how to twirl. I could twirl circles around the girls and when I went to her to ask her about being in the band she said ‘I got four words for you baby. Can’t fit the uniform.’ That crushed me.”   “I was told I was too big in junior high school and high school even though I could dance just as good as the other girls. I could twirl the baton just as good as the other girls. I was never given an opportunity they told me I could play the clarinet.” The cruelty she was faced with actually had a bright side. “So I played clarinet and it got me to college .” View this post on Instagram 5 months ago a piece of me died. My mind, body and spirit was broken. I was sure that I would never be the same…. I was right. I am a different person than I was before the day I almost met my ancestors. So today on my birthday I pay my final respects to the Tazah that looked outward for happiness and validation. I say good bye to self doubt and excuses. A bitch was almost pushing up roses! If that’s not a wake up call, I don’t know what is. I will never take life for granted again! : @kiacaldwellphoto : #MUATazah : @michaelsstores . . . #ModelTazah #FaceOfNCD #ItsMyBirthday #VirgoSeason #Virgos #Roses #PlusModel #CurvyModel #CurvyBombshell #WithTheseCurves #GoldenConfidence #CurvyNStyle #CelebrateMySize #PMMMODEL #PMMModelSearch #PMMLoveMyBody #InternationalModel #PrintModel #RunwayModel #CoverModel #SizeSexy #FreelanceModel #Editorial #EditorialModel #CommercialModel A post shared by Tazah Richardson (@tazahthemodelvixen) on Aug 24, 2019 at 7:15am PDT She returned from studying at Norfolk State University determined to make sure the girls growing up in her neighborhood had different experiences. “When I came out I started tutoring music theory at the junior high school that I went to and the band director asked me did I want to work with the dancers.” View this post on Instagram Who wants to watch the game with me? : @kiacaldwellphoto : @beautyboxstyle . . . #ModelTazah #FaceOfNCD #PlusModel #PrintModel #CurvyModel #WithTheseCurves #CurvyBombshell #USModel #InternationalModel #CoverModel #RunwayModel #HonorYourCurves #GoldenConfidence #PMMLoveMyBody #Football #SundayFunDay #EffYourBeautyStandards #CurvyNStyle A post shared by Tazah Richardson (@tazahthemodelvixen) on Dec 2, 2018 at 10:06am PST In addition to the negative feedback she received about her body her world lacked positive representation. Few examples of confident plus-size women existed in her everyday life. Her first encounter with body positivity was actually birthed from a store window.   View this post on Instagram #TBT My first magazine cover.

We would go past Ashley Stewart and I would see the models in their displays and I would always think to myself ‘They look so beautiful and confident!

These women weren’t hindered by their curves, they were willing to celebrate them and soon so was Richardson.  “Initially I started modeling because I wanted to be like the girls on the advertisements for Ashley Stewart.”  View this post on Instagram This is how you kick off the count down to your birthday!

A post shared by Tazah Richardson (@tazahthemodelvixen) on Aug 1, 2019 at 6:26am PDT Her journey to becoming a model might have started out of a desire to emulate those confident women but ultimately it became about creating new ones. For Richardson there was no question about whether or not she should take the opportunity she was offered when she returned home. “So the same lady that told me I was too big to fit the uniform I ended up taking her job.” The job reinvigorated her modeling career. With a room full of young girls watching her every move, she had to work even harder to make her dreams come true off of the clock.  “It actually furthered my drive even more because I was working with young girls who were from the same neighborhood that I was from which was in Columbia Heights Northwest D.C., where we see lots of violence and lots of crime and lots of gentrification and lots of nobody caring and lots of homelessness and all those other things.”  View this post on Instagram Another #TBT from the beauty issue of @luxekurves .

With every routine perfected and every baton twirled Richardson felt like she was making a difference.  “They really looked up to me even though I wasn’t modeling at the level that I wanted to be modeling on they saw that and it motivated them and it inspired them to do anything that they wanted.”  She took their respect seriously.  “It almost turned into like a selfless thing I almost felt like I had to do it because if quit it would only let them down, and eventually I landed the BET Rip The Runway opportunity, which like to them is like the biggest thing that I could have ever done. Just to see how inspired they were by the things that i was doing just made me feel like I couldn’t quit.

Women clapped and cheered as she strolled in Livirae Lingerie .  Plus size bodies are often hyper-sexualized by mainstream media outlets but the environment Maui Bigelow and MadameNoire created was all about admiring one another. The moment returned Richardson to band practice.  “It brings you right back to that feeling that I had when my girls were proud of me!

So for me to walk in that room with my nipples out and to get the applause and get the accolades and the encouragement that I got in the room, it made me feel like you really are sexy it’s not just something that you think in your head and it’s not just something that a man tells you but it’s something that’s true that you really are sexy and worthy of that adoration.”  We’ll second that sis!  DON’T MISS: MODEL MONDAY: Nicque Marina Went From The Air Force To Fashion Week By Following MadameNoire MODEL MONDAY: Althea Smith Doesn’t Want To Be Anyone’s Token MODEL MONDAY: Lana Ogilvie Went From The First Black Covergirl To Skincare CEO [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3060624″ overlay=”true”]

HAUGHT OR NAUGHT: Would You Wear Nike Kitten Heels? [POLL]

Larissa Lima Mocks Colt Johnson Over Girlfriend: You Traded DOWN!

It's safe to say that 90 Day Fiance legend Larissa Lima is still catching her breath from her war with Evelin Villegas . But the self-styled Queen still has plenty of room for conflict in her life, it seems. No sooner was it announced that Larissa had dumped her boyfriend Eric than Colt began hinting that he was in a relationship again. Now, 90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates has revealed that woman to the world and how fans will get to know her. Larissa has made it clear that she doesn't think much of, well, any of this. Take a look: 1. Larissa is SO over it Suddenly, Larissa Lima has found herself in the middle of multiple conflicts. She’s getting hate from fans, she’s dealing with TWO exes, and she’s caught in a love triangle from a 90 Day Fiance spinoff on which she has never even appeared. 2. Larissa’s getting over a breakup She was with Eric Nichols for seven months — that’s as long as her marriage to Colt lasted. And it still hasn’t quite been a month since that split. Even when you’re the one who did the dumping, that’s going to take an emotional toll. 3. And then there was THIS drama The huge back and forth between Larissa and Evelin over Corey, and the involvement of fans (and haters) of all three, was explosive. 4. Larissa’s STILL trying to clear the air As she made clear, Colt Johnson was the only one she loved — and she later clarified that she meant since moving to the US, which makes this much less sad. Evelin, in the mean time, feels betrayed that the love of HER life is blabbing about what she considers personal relationship issues to Larissa (who, you know, made some of those public knowledge in order to fight back against Evelin’s slut-shaming) 5. But Larissa has had more to say So many people, namely Evelin, have accused her of having plastic surgery. She would undergo certain types, but she has not actually had any. 6. That’s true! Larissa has gotten various facial fillers, even augmenting her jawline. But these are not surgical in nature. They’re just injections. View Slideshow

Farrah Abraham Returns to Prostitution, Offers Classes On How to Get Rich

It's been almost two years since Farrah Abraham was fired from Teen Mom 2 . Many of Farrah's harshest critics had hoped that by this point, she would be working the drive-thru window at Wendy's and regaling her teenage co-workers with tales of her former life as a wealthy TV personality. Alas, Sophia's mom somehow continues to afford an opulent lifestyle. So how does Farrah continue to travel the world in style despite the fact that she's never performed an honest day's work? Well, the short answer is “sex work.” But if you want a much longer and more delusional answer, Ms. Abraham is more than happy to provide you with one: 1. The Farrah System Farrah Abraham enjoys a life of luxury. And she thinks you could do the same — if only you would stop acting like a broke loser and try to be more like her. 2. The High Life In recent months, Farrah and her 10-year-old daughter Sophia have attended red carpet events in Venice, New York, and several points in between. 3. Full Disclosure Granted, the New York event was a launch party for Jenelle Evans’ cosmetics line, but you get the point. 4. Broke With Expensive Taste And how does Ms. Abraham manage such a lifestyle when she hasn’t worked full-time since 2017? 5. Still Grindin’ Well, for a while there, she had managed to score a second gig as an MTV reality star, appearing on the trash-tastic series Ex on the Beach. 6. Cam Mom And then there’s the online sex work, of course. Farrah hasn’t appeared in a proper adult film since the infamous Backdoor Teen Mom, but you can still pay to watch one of her live cam performances. View Slideshow

Kate Gosselin: Caught LYING About Relationship With Hannah!

Last week, we all saw video of Kate Gosselin claiming she’s totally cool with Hannah avoiding her like the plague. A new report claims that Kate’s claim was like the contents of the Mother’s Day cards she receives — nothing but polite lies. Apparently, Hannah has skipped out on these family trips because Kate straight-up does not tell her about them or invite her. “So I noticed Hannah’s not here right now,” a producer observed to Kate in the Kate Plus 8 clip. (Seriously, when are they going to change that show’s name to something more mathematically accurate?) “She’s with her dad,” Kate explained. “And she was not able to come,” “And that’s sad,” she added after a pause. Kate then accused: “That’s the second trip here, actually, for us that she hasn’t been with us.” “Hannah … it was sad for us because … you know, they’re getting older,” Kate later explained while speaking to the camera. “And they’re making different choices,” she acknowledged. “And they’re doing different things.” A lot of control freaks have trouble letting go of total micromanagement. “And she opted to stay back with her dad, actually,” Kate stated. She then added: “Which again, you know, her choice.” “Whatever,” Kate expressed. Fun fact! People saying whatever is not  “It’s not optimal for Mom,” she admitted. Kate then claimed: “But it’s something that I support,” “And you know,” she concluded. “We just adjust and move on.” An inside source tells RadarOnline that Kate has been everything but supportive of Hannah. “Kate saying she is supportive of Hannah is outrageous!” the insider exclaimed. Apparently, claims that they retain much of a bond at all are nothing short of absurd. According to the source: “She has not given her a birthday present.” “She didn’t even tell Hannah about all of these family trips,” the insider adds. Just for the record, if you’re a parent, even if your 14 year old (wisely) wants nothing to do with you, you still owe them a birthday present. Another report recently described their actual relationship. “[She] rarely sees or talks with Hannah,” the insider described. “But they do have some contact.” “Jon allows her to go over anytime she wants,” the source noted. The insider then concluded: “but Kate never asks her to come.” Jon has stated in the past that he does insist that his kids maintain relationships with their siblings, but that he understands if they don’t want to speak to him. So why is Jon so chill about some kids not talking to him while Kate seems considerably unchill about Hannah and Collin breathing free air? Well, Jon understands that he made some major screwups. It is 100% valid for his kids to be angry with him. He also understands that the majority of his kids are living in a toxic household under Kate’s tyrranical rule. Kids under the influence of a parent like Kate can be expected to nod and gree with them. It’s a survival mechanism. That Hannah and Collin broke free shows their extraordinary courage. Not every child is brave enough to defy a tyrant. View Slideshow: Jon Gosselin: TLC Was Gonna Pay Me $1 Million to Stay Married to Kate!

Meghan Markle: Pregnant With Baby #2?!

It’s only been five months since Meghan Markle welcomed her first child . But given the fact that they went with “Archie” for the kid, it stands to reason that she and Harry would want another crack at the naming process. We kid the Sussexes because we love them! But seriously, folks, word on the street is that Meghan is pregnant with baby number two . And when we say “the street,” we mean social media, because we never actually go outside. Anyway, as you may have heard, Meghan and Harry are on tour in South Africa at the moment. It’s one of Meg’s first royal engagements since becoming a mom, and not surprisingly, she and Harry are being photographed non-stop. And as with past royal tours, this means Meghan is forced to endure two very specific types of scrutiny: First, there’s the never-ending commentary about her fashion choices. Don’t get us wrong, we’re sure a limitless supply of cool clothes from the world’s top designers is one of the major perks of being a royal — but it must be more than a little annoying to catch flak for repeating an outfit while touring a foreign continent. The other type of constant inspection Meghan is forced to endure comes courtesy of the millions of amateur obstetricians who are forever holding her midsection up to a microscope. Many of these people are convinced that Meghan is currently expecting her second child. This conclusion appears to be based on nothing other than a handful of amateur photos. But hey, let’s indulge the rumor mill for a moment, shall we? “The camera never lie[s],” a fan named Fanie Jason captioned the pic above. “Meghan Markle could be pregnant again or my imagination is running ahead of me. Some of the photos I took of Meghan and Harry in Cape Town,” she added. Sure. It’s entirely possible that Meghan is pregnant in this photo. But it’s possible that this is just a case of an awkward angle. It’s also important to point out here that Meghan just passed an entire human being through her birth canal less than half a year ago. There’s an outside chance that she’s a mere mortal, and is therefore not rocking six-pack abs at the moment. Harry and Meg say they’re planning to have one more kid , and sadly, this sort of speculation will likely continue until the day they make the announcement. It’s a sad part of the lifestyle that Meghan signed up for when she married Harry. But hey, at least her outfits have been on-point!

Ronnie Magro: I’m Innocent! I Was Just Protecting My Kid!

Ronnie Magro and Jen Harley are the most dangerous couple in Hollywood.  This point is really not up for debate. Days after the Jersey Shore star got arrested , however, an attorney for Ronnie has spoken out and a new report has come to light that may paint a different picture than initially believed. Is Magro really a violent cocaine user who threatened his girlfriend with a knife? Or might he be an especially responsible father who would do anything to protect his kid? Consider the following facts and rumors and try to decide for yourself… 1. Let’s Start Here: Harley and Magro are simply horrible for each other. They became parents in April 2018 when the former gave birth to a girl named Ariana… and within weeks, Jen was trashing Ronnie as a “deadbeat dad” and Ronnie referred to Jen as a “cum dumpster.” 2. And They Stayed Together After That? God, yes. And then also after Harley got arrested for dragging Ronnie down the street by her car and after she hurled a glass ashtray at his head on New Year’s Eve 2018. 3. That’s Crazy. What’s the Latest? Very early on the morning of October 4, Ronnie was arrested for allegedly attacking Jen and even for (allegedly) holding their daughter hostage. 4. Uhhhh, WHAT? It’s true. Reports state that Ronnie and Jen were renting a home in Los Angeles when they got into yet another huge argument. 5. Jen Then Made a Run for It This part of the story seems to have been confirmed. There’s surveillance footage, courtesy of the home next door, that does show Harley holding Ariana, seemingly in a huge panic. 6. Can We See That Photo? Yup. Here it is. View Slideshow

Angelina Jolie: I Had to Divorce Brad Pitt to Feel Like Myself Again!

Even after recently revealing that she feels that Brad Pitt pressured her into marriage , Angelina Jolie has more tea to spill. This time, she’s not talking about their marriage, but about their split and their divorce. Angelina says that she realized that she had lost part of her identity in Brangelina and had to reclaim it. Angelina Jolie is doing her press tour for Maleficent: MIstress of Evil , which means that we are doubly blessed by her interviews. While speaking to Madame Figero , Angelina opened up about ending her marriage to Brad Pitt and filing ofr divorce. She is the first to admit that, all things considered, it was “a complicated moment.” Even when you know that you’re doing the right thing, it’s normal to have doubts. “I didn’t recognize myself anymore,” Angelina confesses. Like the rest of us, Angelina cannot perfectly predict the future — she can only guess. But even then, she knew that her split would be followed by a “period of transition.” “Like a homecoming,” Angelina explains. She goes on to describe it as “a return to [herself].” “I had lost myself a bit,” Angelina laments. Additionally, she reflects upon her feelings at the time when her “relationship with Brad was coming to an end.” Angelina says that she felt “smaller, almost insignificant” during her time as part of that power couple. She says that this was the case “even if it wasn’t necessarily obvious.” “I felt a deep and genuine sadness,” Angelina reveals. She expresses: “I was hurt.” Angelina says that spending time outside of that realationship and as a single mom has been good for her. She has praised the opportunity to “reconnect with this humility and this insignificance.” She can be humble all that she likes, but insignificant? Never. “All these things settle in you,” Angelina explains. She continues: “and remind you of how lucky you are of being alive.” Angelina and Brad share a number of children, the eldest of whom is Maddox. Now an adult, Maddox was at the heart of the incident that prompted Angelina to file to divorce Brad and to report Brad to the FBI for child-abuse. Maddox is currently estranged from his fother — and attending a university in South Korea. “I drop him off,” Angelina revealed in a video. “I know, I’m trying not to cry. … It’s really really exciting.” “It was such an unbelievable moment,” she expressed at the time about Maddox reaching this milestone. Angelina has been vilified for years, dating back to even before she “stole” Brad from Jennifer Aniston. In real life, of course, “stealing” a person is kidnapping. Angelina did nothing of the kind. People angry about Jen and Brad’s breakup need point the finger only at Brad. These are the same people who were gleeful when Brangelina broke up, and eager to cast Angelina as the villain once again. That’s just not the role for her in real life, even though she is playing the most iconic villain of all time, Maleficent.

Jill Duggar: My Kids Are Ruining My Life!

Jill Duggar is in a tough spot. Ever since Derick Dillard got fired from Counting On two years ago, her family has been without any steady source of income. ( Jill quit the show as a gesture of solidarity — a move she probably regrets these days.) All Duggars are expected to devote their adult lives to two equally important pursuits: Helping to enrich the family media empire, and cranking out a whole lot of babies. Unfortunately, Jill seems to have little interest in either objective at the moment, Not only does her current financial situation prohibit further family expansion, it seems Jill finds raising two boys to be such a handful that she’s considering closing up shop. Just one week after Jill and Derick revealed that they’re expanding their family with the addition of a new puppy, Jill took to Instagram to vent her frustrations over the ever-increasing demands of mom life. Yes, it seems the situation at Casa de Dillard got a little raucous over the weekend. It all started when Jill’s sons Sam and Israel decided to get out of bed and redecorate the kitchen. “This is me frustrated,” Dillard said in her Instagram story documenting the incident. “[My son] is screaming at me because he wants a game. I just told them to go lay down or go outside until mommy can cool down and handle this situation.” And the chocolate sauce all over the kitchen wasn’t the only mess Jill had to contend with. It seems Sam and Israel also drew all over the walls with a pencil, which forced Jill to clean up with an eraser. “Just venting over here… [laugh out loud],” Jill captioned her post in an effort to keep the mood light. Of course, in the initial video, Jill griped that her life is almost unbearably stressful with “just two kids” — a comment that’s led many to the conclusion that she and Derick are done having children, Fortunately, Jill has figured out a brilliant strategy for preventing more offspring from entering her life — birth control. Yes, that might sound obvious, but most Duggars view birth control pills as the devil’s Tic Tacs. The Dillards have admitted to using birth control in the past, a fact that alarmed fans, as it was widely assumed that their faith forbade them from doing so. In any event, the situation at Jill’s house eventually calmed down, as the boys became distracted by a neighbor’s dog. And it seems Jill’s been benefitting from a time-tested coping mechanism of her own: “Have lots of good sex!” Derick wrote in a recent blog post about what he considers to be the keys to a successful marriage. “You both need this time together regularly (5-6 times (or more) a week is a good start),” Dillard added. “Guys, you need to keep yourself ‘joyfully available’ for your wife, because only you can fulfill certain desires she might have.” Needless to say, it’s a very good thing that these two don’t share her parents’ views on birth control!

Thomas Markle: This is Why I Betrayed My Famous Daughter

Brace yourselves, folks.  Thomas Markle has given yet another interview. And he’s done so in light of his daughter and her beloved husband taking their most aggressive step yet to silence their critics and put the awful British tabloids in their place. Late last week, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry filed a lawsuit against The Daily Mail . They did so due to the publication’s alleged violation of the former’s privacy after it published excerpts from a letter Meghan wrote to her father many months ago. In his very powerful statement, trashing many outlets for their treatment of his wife, Harry never specifies the letter in question — but it’s widely believed to have been a message Meghan sent Thomas  last spring, shortly after she got married. Thomas, of course, is the one who allowed this letter to be released. In this message, Meghan tells her dad that he has “broken [her] heart” by giving so many interview and airing his grievances in such public fashion. So… what has Thomas now done in response to Meghan and Harry’s lawsuit? He’s once again aired his grievances in public. “I decided to release parts of the letter because of the article from Meghan’s friends in People magazine,” Thomas told the Mail on Sunday, explaining why he betrayed his daughter’s confidence. “I have to defend myself. I only released parts of the letter because other parts were so painful. The letter didn’t seem loving to me. I found it hurtful.” This all gets a little complicated, but here is what Thomas is talking about, broken down by timeline: May 2018 : Harry and Meghan get married. Thomas does not attend the wedding. May/June 2018 : Meghan sends her dad a letter that talks about the “painful attacks” against her and Harry he has made in the recent past, asking him to please keep stop doing that. Summer 2018 : a friend of Markle’s tells People Magazine that Thomas requested a “photo op” with Meghan after receiving her letter, which was the “opposite” of what Meghan was hoping he would do or say. Early 2019 : Thomas releases Meghan’s letter to the press. And now? Thomas is saying that this People Magazine article is what set him off and gave him no choice but to expose his child’s heartfelt plea to the world. “I don’t recognize the person who wrote the letter but I still love my daughter,” Thomas told The Mail on Sunday, adding: “All it would take is one phone call and most of this craziness would stop.” And we’re sure Thomas will get it after going to the very same outlet to which he released Meghan’s letter several months ago. No doubt. The Mail on Sunday reported that Thomas is also upset by false claims that he requested and received payment for releasing parts of the letter. The outlet stated that no payment was requested or given for their article on Saturday. Meghan and Harry’s law firm released a statement last week saying the following: “We have initiated legal proceedings against the Mail on Sunday, and its parent company Associated Newspapers, over the intrusive and unlawful publication of a private letter written by the Duchess of Sussex, which is part of a campaign by this media group to publish false and deliberately derogatory stories about her, as well as her husband. “Given the refusal of Associated Newspapers to resolve this issue satisfactorily, we have issued proceedings to redress this breach of privacy, infringement of copyright and the aforementioned media agenda.” In a rare move, Harry also spoke out on this topic: “The contents of a private letter were published unlawfully in an intentionally destructive manner to manipulate you, the reader, and further the divisive agenda of the media group in question. In addition to their unlawful publication of this private document, they purposely misled you by strategically omitting select paragraphs, specific sentences, and even singular words to mask the lies they had perpetuated for over a year. A spokesperson for The Mail on Sunday later told E! News in a statement,: “The Mail on Sunday stands by the story it published and will be defending this case vigorously. “Specifically, we categorically deny that the Duchess’ letter was edited in any way that changed its meaning.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess
