31 year old Miranda Cheesman, teased for years because of her weight, decided to start a BBW nightclub in London for plus-size patrons. The club night is called Club Indulge and the purpose of the evening is to have a place that the “fat and fabulous” can come to without being bullied in the other, conventional nightclubs. Cheesman, a stand-up comic who works in media and radio production, had this to say:
“I have had experiences where a guy walks up to you and offers to buy you a drink and you look over his shoulder and his friends are jeering and laughing and nudging each other. I just think it would be nice to go to a place where men buy you a drink and they mean it.”

The BBW nightclub will happen each month at London’s top spots. Although advertised for the plus-size crowd, Cheesman says that there won’t be a size policy being enforced, since she wants everyone to feel welcome.
The first night of Club Indulge happened on April 27, 2013 at the Amber Bar in Moorgate. The next one is a summer mixer that will take palce at the More Bar Brasserie next to the Hilton Tower Bridge. Tickets are £5.
