BBW Beauty Contest in Thailand
They don’t call it a contest for big beautiful women, but there is an annual beauty contest held in Thailand called "Jumbo Queen." The contest is part of the annual celebration of the elephant, held to help promote elephant conservation causes in the country.
Contestants are judged by their ability to exhibit grace, elegance and size. Originally held in 1997, the contest was originally intended to be a one-time event, but has proven so popular with the public that it has been held annually ever since.
