AMBER RILEY: ESSENCE SPREAD

Amber Riley from "Glee" is looking beautiful and confident in her Essence magazine spread! I love the outfits in the two photos: they fit her body well, accentuate her curves and most of all, her clothes aren't ill-fitting just because she isn't a size 4.
I started watching Glee over the summer when Season 1 re-runs were playing, became hooked and every Tuesday night watched Season 2. Like Amber's photos, her character, Mercedes, also has a healthy self-image, which I love. The episode that sticks out the most: Sue, acting as principal, banned tater tots and Mercedes went into war mode, snuck her own tots in the school and started a lunchroom riot. That's right girl, get those tots.

Looking forward to the new "Glee" episode after the Super Bowl!
