otherwise, sounds like fun. i hope you dont get too many hecklers.

Did they have a size cut off to begin with, like nobody smaller than a size 14 or something?
What might be plus sized in real life and what would be considered plus sized in the world of beauty pageants might be really different. Pageant girls, I think, are usually freakishly on the thin side for real life.

for real. i'd be pretty insulted if "plus-sized" meant size 8 in this context.

This isn't an average pageant though - even if they had a regular pageant, it's still at a university, and likely to attract more normal-sized girls then the Miss USA/America crowd.

I'm confused what average/regular is and what "plus size" is.
If by plus-size, they mean women who are not a size 1 with D-cup breasts (my guess on what the average Miss USA/America crowd is), then I don't know how I'd feel about that!
Like someone said I'd be insulted if "plus size" meant size 6-8 in this context, because I would guess that is the "average" person.

Traditional definition of plus is 14 and up, although I've seen some brands/mags include 12s.
