No Alibi

Some people are physically ugly. This is one of the reasons that the book "Such a Pretty Fat" caught my eye originally. I'm tired of people saying I have a pretty face. Hence, the weight loss journey.

But I'm watching Miss America right now, and I'm SHOCKED at how ugly some of these women are. Granted, they're probably smart, funny, caring, goal-oriented women. But really? Many could benefit from some cosmetic surgery. Nose job should be priority one for some of these girls.

Now, I'm not saying I'm perfect by any stretch of the imagination. As you know, I'm overweight. But my nose doesn't resemble a lightning bolt, my eyes are so far apart that they're beyond the corners of my mouth, and my chin isn't so weak that it looks like my nose could slide down the front of my face. Miss USA, the beauty contest run by the Trump organization, is a true beauty contest. Those girls are knockouts. But the Miss America pageant has ventured far from its roots as a beauty contest and has pretended that the people watching are looking for something other than pretty girls in bikinis and heels.

One of my chubby girl pastimes is watching women who think they're attractive. I indulge this by watching America's Next Top Model. Seeing hungry women have their bitchiness amplified is near heaven. Granted, I prefer judging the fashion on pageants than the faces, it must be said that many of these women are the quintessential "butter-faces." Translation: "She's got a great body, but her face is not."

Now off to judge these women who can't wait until later tonight so they can finally dig their faces into cheeseburgers, steaks, ice cream, donuts, and all of the other great food that is available in abundance in Mecca, aka Vegas.
