F.A.T. Chance You'll Ever See Me In Body Paint

The third season of Mo'Nique's plus-sized beauty contest, F.A.T. Chance, airs on Oxygen starting July 21. This is a (very interesting) promotional shot. Y'all know how I feel about celebrating obesity, but I also don't want to come across as someone who wants people to feel bad about their bodies. I salute their self-confidence, if nothing else. I certainly couldn't do it. But, ummm. Yeah. That's all I've got. Watch the show if you'd like to see who gets crowned Miss F.A.T. 2007.

leave the body paint to the sports illustrated models. this is vulgar. the si models look like they have swim suits on. no saggy milk jugs and belly covering the FUPA.

Why did I think of "Modern Day Hottentots" when I saw this?

I think good for them. It's their bodies and they're free to celebrate them in any way they want. My granmother was a big woman from the time she was 14, she once told me, and I never saw that woman overeat or eat junk in her life, and she lived to be 98. Yes, the U.S. has an obesity problem, but more than that it has an extremely narrow standard of beauty (and no real standard of health). Whether or not these women are obese is their own business.

And Hottentots? That's a pretty loaded comparison.
