Ok.  This is one for my fellow Plus-Sized models (or aspiring).

Monique has this "Beauty Contest" called Monique's F.A.T. chance, FAT stands for Fabulous And Thick.  I guess it is sort of like ANTM but for those of us who aren't tall and slim.

So. . .my question is:
Is anyone from MM going to DO this???  Or do models not do "beauty contests"?

*gets comfortable and waits for the inevitable ishstorm to come*

I'm not going to do it, though if I were in LA for the audition I might give it a whirl, just because I've never done anything remotely like that, and why not?  I have occasionally heard decision-making people, like editors of magazines and plus clothing reps say that while there's no official badness about beauty pageants, they're not considered all that impressive, either. 

That, however, was not speaking specifically about Monique's show.  I say, if you're in an area they're having auditions, and you're interested, go for it!  She's using her celebrity to encourage people to broaden their horizons and see fat people in a more positive way, all of which is good, as far as I'm concerned.  I can't see doing something like that preventing you getting any jobs down the road.

Good luck!

I can dig it.

I considered auditioning for this show for about 10 minutes. I'm not sure if I qualify.
