Let me tell y’all a few things about Gabi Gregg.
She is super cute (obviously, look at her!). She is a LOT of fun to hang out with. She’s a great person to vent to if you’re stressed out. And from the minute she entered this MTV TJ thing, I knew she had it in the bag. Cause Gabi – the creator of uberinfluential blog Young, Fat and Fabulous – has that “It” factor in spades.
On Sunday, I was en route from a whirlwind trip to NYC and then at the Lollapalooza festival here in Chicago (epic posts to come on both!) and midway through all that fun, my phone died. So I didn’t even realized I’d missed the MTV TJ finale until I got home and caught a glimpse of my Twitter timeline! SO much love, happiness and pride outpouring for Gabi!
As her friend, I’m over the moon. Gabi is such a go getter and an inspiration – now she’s gonna be straight outta Pilsen and headed to the fabulous life in NYC. She totally deserves it and she is gonna ROCK that job!!! GO GABI GO!
As a fellow plus size fashion fan and as a fellow blogger of color, I am SO thrilled – Gabi is an icon to all of us who also aspire to be or identify with her YFF credo, an inspiration to women who haven’t felt that there may be a place for them in the media spotlight. Gabi’s kicking down the door for women of color AND women of size! This is history!
As a fellow resident of Chicago I am proud but also a little sad – Gabi’s leaving us for NYC now! When’s the farewell party, yo?
Wanna keep up with Gabi’s new fabulous life? Follow her on Twitter at MTVTJ. Gabi, I couldn’t be prouder. Afrobella is sending you SO much love!!

much congrats to her. she was in first place the WHOLE show, i know that must have felt good for her to know that she had sooooo much support. great things ahead
Yes! Although I don’t have the pleasure of knowing Gabi personall- TRUST I was among the many who voted for her during the live broadcast of the MTVTJ show. There was an outpouring of support from curvy fashionistas from coast-to-coast!
Have to say I’m so glad. I’m a giant fan of Gabi, and LOVE YFF. She’s got great style and presence. Go Gabi go!
She is so beautiful and fabulous! I just love her and I just heard about her, what, 3 minutes ago! lol …

YEEEEESSS!!! I am too proud of this! I love her site- she is so influential and her confidence is contagious on the screen and over the internet. Wow i was crossing my fingers- (deep exhale sigh of relief)
I have been surfing on-line more than 3 hours nowadays, but I never discovered any interesting
article like yours. It is pretty price sufficient for me.
In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made
good content material as you did, the internet can be a lot more useful than ever before.
