Miss Chubby Beauty Contest 2010
The Miss Cicciona pageant is a beauty contest for overweight women. As in all past 20 editions of the pageant, there is only one condition for entry: you have to weigh more than 100 kilograms, or 15 and a half stone. This year a 33 year old Angela Scognamiglio bagged the title crown of Miss Chubby 2010 at the beauty contest held in the village of Forcoli, near Pisa. She weighs 170 kilograms (375 pounds).
30 contestants paraded before an audience of 2,500 at a local hotel, wearing gowns. There is no big prize for the winner, just a huge cake to share around, and perhaps for all the contestants a boost in self-esteem in contrast to the mockery many obese face.
