More to Love: The new face of "The Bachelor"

Reality TV is about to get real! A new show is hitting the screen that is about to take The Bachelor’s avid audience by storm by introducing “More to Love”. From the executive producers of The Bachelor, “More To Love” is based on the same concept of one bachelor choosing his true love from a selection of 25 single women. The main difference however, is that the contestants are on the more robust side of the scale.

Up until this point, “The Bachelor” has been nothing short of a Hollywood story- filled with contestants who are skinny, beautiful and flawless and who always get what they want. Unfortunately, the real dating scene is much more challenging than reality TV would like us to believe- the average Joe is not always tall, dark and handsome and the average Jane is usually more than a size 0. Well, it’s time to root for all the Mr. Joes and Ms. Janes out there! We at Roaman’s are especially excited about the show and look forward to its premiere! It’s about time beautiful, bold and confident women who are more than a size 0 receive the national attention they deserve.

Let’s just hope that once he chooses his leading lady, that he doesn’t have a change of ‘contestant’ heart.

Tell us what you think about the up and coming “More to Love”

The energy & excitement that was bubbling could be felt throughout the entire room as women lavishly sparkled in their RED inspired outfits. Their fashion picks ranged from modestly large hats, to high-heeled boots and chic red dresses to sharp accessories. But none stunned more than the gorgeous and talented ladies that walked the RED runway!

Crowd Shot

Us on the Fab runway!

These amazing and talented women represented a powerful message of diversity in every sense of the word. And the message was loud and clear, it doesn’t matter how old or young, celebrity or average-joe, beautiful or rich…heart disease affects anyone at anytime. The earlier you take care of your heart by being healthy and active, the longer, happier life you’ll lead! The Red Dress Collection is based on the Red Dress icon that is the centerpiece of The Heart Truth. It is a simple, beautiful symbol that sends the message that “Heart Disease Doesn’t Care What You Wear- It’s the #1 Killer of Women”

So the best thing for women to strive toward is to take care of their heart and be
Heart HAPPY!
