Britain is gearing up for their plus size version of the X- Factor, conveniently named the XL- Factor. Just when you thought plus size fashion, talent, and lifestyle were only trending throughout the summer, it was announced earlier this week that auditions for Britain’s “The XL Factor” were underway. So what is the XL Factor? Imagine if you were to marry American Idol and Dance your Ass Off, and you add the premise of the X Factor, you get a competition whose only criteria is that performers are at least a size 18. The XL Factor is scouting all across Britain, four sassy divas to form a girl band and find the line-up for a cabaret group called Moulin Huge. One of the judges for this show is Rik Wallen, former Pop Idol star who shares his excitement that “This will give people a chance to perform without their looks being taken into account.” As stated in the Independent.co.uk, Rik Waller goes on to share "People shouldn't have to go to a separate audition just because they're big, but the truth is that it's hard if you're larger. There's always this stigma attached where you're seen as 'that fattie' and it's difficult to be taken seriously. This will give people the chance to perform without their looks being taken into account." Examiner |
