Maybe many of you didn't know that, but every year in Forcoli, Tuscany, a peculiar contest called "Mister Ciccione e Miss Cicciona d'Italia" (Mr. and Miss Fatty of Italy) is held.
Only men over 150 kilos and women over 100 kilos are allowed to take part into this, and at the end the heaviest man and the fattest woman receive a prize. They're judged not only because of their weight, but also of their character.
So, what do you think of that? Would you like to see it? I would.
A weight gain contest in Italy
Two bets on that event:
- If Santa joins, he automatically wins. He's the jolliest fat person after all.
- The event's not over until one of the female contestants sings.
Phew, okay. Bad jokes are out of my system. In all honesty, I think I'm going to find an online gallery of said event.
Oh hey, headshot! http://www.misscicciona.it/concorso/fotografie Official site with all the pictures. FAs will probably love this.
How your link says, the contest is going to be held on 23 of July. I'll get informed and tell you the weight of the winner.
I'm not sure if this is unhealthy, but their goal is not to promote obesity, but to give an opportunity to model to women who couldn't ever because of their weight.
Anyway it's good to have a weight gain contest such those of our stories, and the most beautiful thing is that is held in my very country.
hi there, I've noticed this post and I'm italian so I think I'll explain.
It's basically a beaty contest for bbws/bhms, nothing more nothing less :)
Go Wendigo! :D
Listen everybody: tonight we're going to have a new Miss Cicciona! As soon as I find out the weight of the winner I'll tell you, or maybe I'll tell you tomorrow if don't find it.
I've got official news: new Miss Cicciona is from Naples and weighs over 147 kilos.
Sounds like a pretty unhealthy competition if they're promoting obesity! :) But I'd definitely like to see that!
