Reading the responses to our Big Question brought tears to my eyes. Indeed, if only Francesca had known then what she knows now . . .
Look! Here is a new, very young, very large, very superfantastic celebrity on the scene! Yes, I’m late on this one, but Nikki Blonsky deserves celebrating no matter how many minutes ago her movie was released. I haven’t seen “Hairspray” yet, but you can be sure I’ll report as soon as I do.
Here are interviews which show that at the tender age of 18, Nikki has already learned how to be superfantastic in her attitude AND her attire. She is sweet and charming and happy and self-confident and unafraid to show her talent. And she knows she deserves to lip-lock with Zac Efron (though he later told a reporter that he sees her as a sister. Yeah, whatever. She’s a superfantastic sister!) Go, Nikki!
LOVE the perky way she lifts herself up onto the seat on the Letterman show. Manolo for the Big and the Petite Girl!

I had to go back and read all the advice other readers left. I, too, was nearly in tears. As said by a few “If I had known then what I know now….” I could have saved myself years of agony.
I just want to thank you – and Plumcake – again for this blog. I don’t know that you realize just how you’re impacting lives. I hope more superfantastic girls of the younger set begin to read this – what fabulous role models they will have in you and Plumcake!

Love her sassyness…and that dress she’s wearing on Letterman! Mmmm…why didn’t I know how to dress like that when I was 18? I was still believing that if it was big and tent like it would “hide” how I wasn’t a size 6! Thank god I figured out how wrong I was!

Wow, she seems so comfortable with herself, and also with her newfound celebrity. May Hollywood never convince her to change.

Wow — she’s gorgeous!
And IMDB says she’s got another movie in the works. Good for her — I hope she’s able to make a career of it.
