Full Figures, The National Largest Size Acceptance Organization with over 34,000 world wide members with chapters in 6 states & 2 countries originally founded by Keke Dillard in Detroit 2004 initiates their 1st BAN against a establishment. Surprisingly Full Figures is BANNING a RESTAURANT?? Full Figures urges members to NOT support the restaurant “Floods Bar & Grille” in Detroit for their management and owners size discriminatory practices and disrespectful treatment toward the Full Figures Staff Members. Which included NAME Calling, insults, degrading actions, privileges at the restaurant revoked due to our size (like not being able to collect our own money because they didn’t want big girls at their door) and numerous other disrespectful, immature, petty comments. All information has been confirmed by at least 4 of Floods very own staff members who also privately apologized to our staff for their managements’ own disrespectful behavior. So since fat people have been the butt of their Jokes for the last 5 months to Floods lets prove how funny our money is!! FLOODS IS NOW BANNED FROM FULL FIGURES. The National’s Largest Size Acceptance Organization 34,000 “Fat People who don’t need to sit down” (quote from Floods) strong!!

It has come to our attention that it is some who are not aware of the changes to FF this year. Full Figures’ mission is womens’ empowerment & size acceptance. Our current focus right now is to develop our 6 programs to carry our that mission. FF no longer choose to focus on entertainment but rather the true issues at hand. For that reason Full Figures no longer house any modeling opportunities. Full Figures has a spokesperson as a representation of the organization for media purposes but is no longer looking for model representation. FF has a alliance with the House of Curves Agency to provide models for FF’s seasonal Fashion Shows and urge the women who were interested in modeling for FF to get in contact with House of Curves for other opportunities. Thank you to those who were interested in modeling for us. The support is greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Full Figures.

2008 was a historical year in American politics with President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. But did you know before Hillary there was Victoria Woodhull? According to her contemporaries, Victoria Woodhull was a woman 100 years ahead of her time. Although few have heard of her today, when she ran for President of the United States in 1872, she was one of the most famous women in the country. She advocated many things which we take for granted today: the 8-hour work day, graduated income tax, social welfare programs, and profit sharing, for example.
Victoria California Claflin was born September 23, 1838 in Homer, Ohio, to a down-on-its-luck family. She was only 15 years old when she was married for the first time to Canning Woodhull. When she died on June 9, 1927, she had come a long way from her modest surroundings in Homer. She died in a Manor House in Bredon’s Norton, Worcestershire, England, as the wealthy widow of a British banker.
She was no “respecter of persons.” She offered her hospitality to prostitutes and royalty alike. She was a bundle of contradictions. Although she was opposed to the organized Christian religion, she lived its principles: She fed the hungry, cared for the sick, and visited the prisoners. She believed that living those principles was more important to saving souls than preaching the resurrection of Christ. She owned a newspaper which was the first to print the Communist Manifesto in English; and yet, she was also the first female stockbroker on Wall Street. Her life was unique, to say the least.
Victoria was nominated for the U.S. Presidency by the Equal Rights Party. Her candidacy attracted an unusual coalition of people, which included laborers, female suffragists, Spiritualists, and communists, among others. The members of the coalition represented diverse–and often conflicting–opinions. The one thing that they all agreed upon was that the government needed reform. They wanted a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” They wanted a government with principles. Not only did the Equal Rights Party nominate the first female presidential candidate, they were also the first to nominate a black man, Frederick Douglass, for Vice President.
Although few seriously thought Victoria Woodhull would win, they knew her campaign would send a message to Washington. It’s time for a woman in the White House.
