Gabby is even getting endorsement deals! Check her out!
She's the new celebrity face for Torrid.com
Check out Hollywood's new "IT" girl! She's Gabourey Sidibe, the talented newcomer who portrays, but does not embody, the lead character in the movie "Precious: Based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire." I must admit this movie was hard to watch and in my opinion, everything does not need to be made into a movie. Give me a happy ending anyday. For me Gabourey was that happy ending symbolizing that all things are possible.
I was so excited to read Gabourey's interview in Harper's Bazaar. How cool to have a story and photo shoot on a curvy celeb in such a grand magazine. However, I wasn't feeling the article or her. Something was off? Then I saw her appearance on "The View". After watching the "words coming outta her mouth," I have a completely different view of this ingenue. Gabourey is nothing like Claireese "Precious" Jones and more like the fly girl in the dream sequences. (Unfortunately, in the movie she has those dreams when her mother knocks her out)
My revelation? She's only 26 years old! She's only a baby and she's living the life she's always imagined. She has the bubbly personality and stalwart confidence that is young and delightfully naive. Clap for her! She's only 26 years old and she should look it. That's what was off in Harper's Bazaar! Her look should reflect her plucky personality and a style that thumbs its nose at the fashion establishment. I dream of being her stylist. She's a break from tradition in form and fashion. She is EXTRAORDINARY!
