Did you know that Whitney Way Thore, the person whose life is featured in "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" is from Greensboro? In 2015, TLC began chronicling Whitney's life, her weight gain brought on partly due to a medical condition, and her maintaining an upbeat, body-positive attitude. The show is now in Season 12. Yesterday we were on one of our frequent strolls along Elm Street and we saw TLC a videographer and photographer on the corner of Market Street and later, at McGee. The crew wanted a good sunset photo and also scenes of Christmas in downtown Greensboro. The above photo was taken at Hamburger Square, beside Natty Greene's, and all lenses were on the LFG building.
If you haven't watched the show before, put it on your holiday viewing list. The Thore family exudes so much positive energy and, like most reality TV shows, the lives of the members of the Thore family has become an open book. Sadly, last year, Whitney's mom (Babs) died. She was such a prime example of southern humor, finding the wittiest thing to say and with perfect timing on delivery. It is fun to see Greensboro on the episodes filmed here. Whitney graduated from Page High School in 2002.
If you don't have access to TLC, you can see a lot about the show on YouTube. We'd love to interview Whitney for Greensboro Daily Photo! If you know her, put in a good word for us.
Happy Thursday!
