PHOTOS: Israel Crowns A Plus-Size Beauty Queen

Wednesday, June 20, 2012 PHOTOS: Israel Crowns A Plus-Size Beauty Queen The most recent Miss USA pageant was a sea of staggeringly thin bodies, rock-hard abs and child-size derrieres as far as the eye could see. But there is room for plus-size beauties on the pageant stage -- albeit their own, specially cordoned-off stage -- in size-specific competitions, like Israel's annual Fat and Beautiful pageant staged this week. Held in the Southern city of Be'er Sheva, the Fat and Beautiful competition included sixteen women who all met one requirement: they all weighed between 80-100 kilos (176-220 pounds).
