There were so many reasons for this event. So many people on fbm staff have been effected by this vicious disease called diabetes. Full Blossom Magazine’s Co-founder Tyquane Bates and I, would like to personally dedicate the Face The Sweet Weekend events to our dear mothers. Both of our mothers have suffered or continues to suffer from complications caused by diabetes. This is a cause that truly hits home for myself and many of those involved. I’d like to thank all of our sponsors, consultants, hair stylists, makeup artists, sound men, models, photographers, vendors, celebrities, publicists, and behind the scenes staff… THANK YOU! WE MADE HISTORY!!! Our goal was to encourage people worldwide to face this devastating disease and teach ways to beat it by living healthier. The colorful name we chose for this event “Face the Sweet,” ties into fbm’s faces campaign, the fashion show’s theme and purpose. We used this event to announce our face ambassadors for 2014. The dynamic faces of 2013 have left an indelible mark on the plus-size industry and now we are excited to welcome six new faces for 2014.

I will Face
the Sweet
for you mom...
Face the Sweet Diabetes is one of the fastest debilitating diseases in the world. Every 17 seconds another American is diagnosed with diabetes and nearly 19 million in this country have already been diagnosed with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. An estimated 7 million have gone undiagnosed and a staggering 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes. To help combat this chronic disease, Full Blossom Magazine’s charity of choice is DivabeticŽ, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. DivabeticŽ was inspired by the late R&B legend, Luther Vandross. it was created and founded by his long-time assistant, Max Szadek.

Just to start, the overall experience was something that I will cherish forever. When I first got to the casting, I was so surprised with the turn out of lovely ladies. I knew that I had what it took to be selected but inside of me I was still very unsure. So finally my number is called to give my most fiercest runway walk....done. Then reality hits. I have an amazing walk, great face but I still have some work. So I took every tip and constructive criticism that I was given, went home and put in the work. Carlos Otero gave me a second chance to live my dreams, it was
and I started to notice other girls from the casting posting that they have been selected for the show and I started to doubt myself once more. After messaging and haggling Barbie Armstrong, she returned my phone call and encouraged me to make sure I'm ready to show improvement. If it wasn't for her looking back and saying this girl has got it, I probably wouldn't have been in the show. Well the day of the show comes and to my surprise I am unusually calm and at peace. The hair, makeup, and designers were all awesome. I had the best time of my life and because of Full Blossom Magazine having the Face the Sweet fashion show, I have once again regained my confidence and remembered my passion for wanting to be a plus size model.

just time for me to show how much I really wanted it. Days went by
FBM ISSUE 15 | WWW.FULLBLOSSOMMAGAZINE.COM
My full blossom fashion week was everything I expected. Hectic, exciting, nerve wrecking and awesome ! I was probably the youngest model there (don't ask how I got into the clubs), but that gave me all the more drive. There was no cat fights, no competition between the girls and the vibes were great. Everybody knew they were apart of something bigger than us. We were making history! So my full blossom NYFW was good through the travels and getting lost on subways *im a jersey girl*. I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. It gave me a sneak peek to how I want my career to be, over the top and extremely professional yet homely. Love Sackie

What is Latino Make Up Show (LMUS)? LMUS is a non-profit organization where our mission is to work with individuals and offer the highest quality education available in the beauty industry to help create new talents. Another important factor of our mission is to educate and support those struggling with any kind of physical health obstacles and teach them to use the world of beauty to their advantage.
LMUS was conceived from Carlos Otero the CEO/Founder.

PATA LUNA - The Craft Artist
FBM ISSUE 15 | WWW.FULLBLOSSOMMAGAZINE.COM
Pata Luna Llano is a Manhattan based artist whose creativity is borne from her surrealist poet father and her avant-garde bebop singer mother. Pata studied at School of Visual Arts and Cooper Union but credits her love of Halloween and costume Parties as her inspiration and best education. Pata enjoys crafting in paper, balsa wood and foam, which allow for very large but light weight creations. Being in the plus size realm, Pata has strived to encircle herself in her art, to remove the focus from her sexuality and body size and refocus it on her talents as an artist. She finds that "there is nothing hotter than being the largest thing in the room". Her designs focus on architectural and organic shapes with a pop-art influence. Pata was approached by Full Blossom Magazine for their "Face the Sweet" Fashion Show during Fashion Week 2014, which had a strong theme of Diabetes awareness.

She created an image of their "Face the Sweet" logo with masks and blossoming flowers as well as over-flowing sugar-bowl headdresses adorned with the reminder to "watch your sugar," a constant theme among diabetes sufferers. Also recently, you may have seen Pata's work at the Art in Odd Places Festival and at the Unicorn Meat Electronic Music Events.
