Miss "Fat and Beautiful" 2009

Beersheba, Israel recently held its annual "Fat and Beautiful" beauty pageant with plus-size contestants coming from all over the country to compete in casual wear and evening gowns...but there was no swimsuit competition. Ladies had to be at least 176 lbs to enter.

Twenty-two-year old Moran Baranes, weighing in at 205 pounds, was crowned the winner. She works as a security guard and enjoys painting and dancing.
