In Paraguay, where roughly one in two people are considered overweight, Ms. Gordita breaks down beauty stereotypes for women of all sizes.
Since 2012, Paraguay’s Ms. Gordita beauty pageant has been giving plus-sized women a chance to compete in the kind of event that’s long excluded them. The organizers, the participants, and the judges are on a mission to show that beauty is about more than just a dress size—a particularly important point in Paraguay, where roughly one in two people are considered overweight.
VICE Mexico went to check out the latest pageant and talked to a handful of contestants to hear about why the event is important to the country, and how it’s helped with their own self-esteem.
