The pageant, called "Sweet Woman", was organized by writer and model Elena Lenina and focused on larger women or, as they were described – “Women who had something to show”. The message of the show was clear – your size or proportions do not matter and any woman can be a model if she has a diva in her soul.

Idolizing bad health is just wrong. I don't care about being politically correct, just drop the "Me" and the BigMac at MacDonald's and live a healthy life. The Big is beautiful nonsense comes from America where they have a weight problem from non active lifestyle mixed with fat foods. Moscow has plenty of MacDonald's and now Moscow resembles more and more the American way. When people put the two and two together and realize some of our traditions are better for us than Western ways, things will get better.
Perhaps artyom does not realize that "BIG" in the fashion world is any size over size 3. At 130 pounds and 5'9, a gal can wear a size 9 look great and have not a bit of flab!!In fact she can be downright gorgeous. The same gal can also be very active and healthy. In fact, Marliyn Monroe and Sofia Loren would be considered "BIG" by today's ultra skinny, skin and bone, fashion industry!!
