I'm so ready to see that gone. The stereotype that skinny=pretty. When I watched Miss USA two weeks ago I was literally telling my mom that every single one of those girls needed to EAT!!!!! I hate that we live in a society that exemplifies what 75% of the population ISN'T!

The average size of a "normal" woman is, what between 10-12? :confused:

that is what i was getting at: is this for real or a subtle joke at the end of the day? i can only imagine some jerks in the back screaming out stuff in the back.

Yeah. I was thinking the organization itself may have been well aware of the possible . . uhm . . humour factor.

Is the second one a real Earp quote?
It seems too good, er, bad to be true.

I don't think that will ever go away. I would guess of the American population, more than 75% of people do not look like Miss FillInTheStateHere.

Doesn't America have a huge obese epidemic? It's one thing to be too skinny and not healthy, and another to be way over what the "ideal" (per the medical standards) weight is and not be healthy. I don't know if that would be a 10-12? I guess it depends on height or something.

This was kind of neat because it touches on changign sizes.

This was the point, as I understood the coordinator of the pageant to have implied, why they are using the draconian ("boot camp") methods of preparation: to make sure that the participants are taken seriously. It appears that they want to put on a quality event that will not be a freak show or something for the fetishist.

James 04-04-2007 07:22 PM

What if they finish the "boot camp" and aren't plus sized anymore ? ;)

I watched Miss USA also, and all those women looked like they ate. Just because they are not over weight does not mean they don't eat. Just because they don't look like the 64% of Americans that are overweight does not mean they need to also look like that. They all looked very healthy to me and I admire them for that. Just because the majority of people are overweight does not mean it's normal or healthy to be overweight. If it was your job or life dream to be Miss USA I'm sure you could devote your time to having their figure too. But everyone has their own priorities and there isn't anything wrong with that either. But don't act like women who are completely healthy are somehow incorrect.

Many pageant contestant are underweight by health chart standards. I agree that we don't have to assume that everyone who isn't obese is underweight, but don't go crazy with what you think normal weight is either.

Got jokes!:D Look, the bruhs (Ques or Omegas) are thorough. It's in our fraternal genes. "Blood, sweat and tears to make Omega..." as men seeking to become Omegas have sung for generations. The contestant should have said "Gold boot camp." LOL

I was wondering the same.




Also Kudos to the Omegas and the Beauty Queen!:D
