Beauty contest held for plus-size women in Russia
A beauty contest was held for plus-sized women in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The competition was organised by local modelling agency SibPlus. It aims to challenge Russian attitudes that equate beauty with an ultra-slim figure, said Inna Sertrakova who works at the agency. "We want to show off our femininity even though it doesn't conform to current fashion standards," said a contestant.
