Plus Size Beauty of the Week – Marie Cothia

The beauty of the week rolls on even during the holidays.  This weeks beauty is Marie Cothia.  what I have been enjoying about the photos submitted is not knowing what story will be revealed.  Marie was a contestant earlier this year in the Miss NYC Plus beauty pageant. Thinking back on the time I was in New York for Full Figured Fashion Week we probably crossed paths without knowing it.  Below are Marie’s own words on the contest and on being beauty of the week.

Thank so much for choosing me as Plus Size Beauty of the week! I am excited especially since it is Christmas week! Yes, I was a plus size beauty pageant finalist contestant for Miss NYC Plus in march of 2009. It was a great experience even if I did not win the pageant the experience will be with me for a long time! I had fun getting to know the contestants and made friends at the pageant. It was a fast paced ongoing activity that involved changing attire for each beauty segment, we had a great makeup artist who made us all dolled up.  Segments included  punkwear/rockwear look, trenchcoat fashion 5th ave/park ave look and lets not forget the evening gown attire look. There was also the talent/speech section and let’s not forget the runway look! Awards were given for queen  for each borough of the city and finally the award and crown of Miss NYC Plus! Overall it was a great experience.

There you have it the words of this weeks beauty.  Just like all of the past winners Marie will be featured for the next seven days.  Due to some changes I am not sure if the IGIGI.com Sponsorship is still in place, when I find out I will let you guys know so you can vote on the winner of the grand prize.  Congratulations again to Marie and remember all you need to enter is a full body photo and an email address.
