@alovehangoverr So, in conclusion.. I’m positive you can find what you’re looking for somewhere (google has everything) but I’m sure it won’t have as big a following as that of thinner pageants/etc. I was trying to play Devil’s advocate and see if there were such pageants because logically there should be, and quite open.
Usually when the discussion turns to beauty it goes to the magazines we all see at check out, young and slender. Not to mention the ladies on the pages inside. Then it goes to Spring Break wet t-shirt contest and main stream beauty contest like Ms. World, Mrs. America, etc no plumpers to be seen. Then the almost obligatory comment ”Those women are fake, they are not real, they throw up everything or they are lipoed to hell”, etc. If the ”real” women are in a size 16 and better I would have thought there would easy to find pageants and bikini contest that cater to them, since there are suppose to be so many and they are proud to weight as much as they do. I guess maybe I was a bit naive to actually have the audacity to believe they were not all hat and no cattle.
@Linda_Owl Beauty contests are simply catering to a superficial society. Which begs the question if 60% of society is overweight to obese then how are they catering to society? When many maybe most of society seems to think plus sized is the new ”normal”, pageants for these women should be main stream and they should be all over the front of the magazines that grace me as I stand in line at the check out. Its it that overweight America says in public ”Those are not real women” but behind closed doors secretly long to be like them?
