It's weird what people latched onto in my post. I said I liked the idea of the pageant and I salute the group for having it.
I'm afraid that AlphaFrog's point though is a very real one, and that's the only weakness of having a plus sized pageant: it's the implication that plus sized women, fat-big boned-or-athletic, wouldn't be able to compete in most people's minds with the "regular" pageant winners.
I still think the event is a great idea, and I hope it's a success.
