Host Mo’Nique and her F.A.T. CHANCE finalists get naked in their latest photo shoot.
I’m not a skinny chick myself so I try to support Mo’Nique as much as I can - but I have to draw the line at this one. They really PLAYED the women in this photo. *Shakes Head* However, I do applaud them for getting naked in front of the camera because that really means they are comfortable with themselves.
Anyway, in a recent interview with Essence Magazine Mo’Nique spoke on the new season of F.A.T. Chance and on the body paint:
You’re also celebrating your junior year with your F.A.T. Chance beauty pageant. How was it taping the show in Paris?
- It was absolutely life-changing for me. We did high-fashion photo shoots, walked the runways of Paris and did nude body painting.Wow, so you let go of all your inhibitions in France. How long did it take you to muster up the courage?
- Well, I’ve been nude before. When I visited Exuma, Bahamas, it was extremely private and isolated, so I would take my bathing suit off and I enjoyed that feeling. After doing it the first time on a remote island, I said I wanted to enjoy this feeling whenever I feel like having it and I felt like having it in Paris. And the Parisians were looking at us like, “Whadahell? What are we supposed to do? I’m like, “Get some more paint Sugar because you got to paint all of this.”So did any of the women get cold feet?
- The night before and the morning of you could feel the tension and see the emotions on their faces when I told them that we would be getting naked in front of cameras and a crew. What they didn’t know or see was that I was going through the same emotions. But the moment we all had to drop our towels, I watched those women and myself walk into freedom. It was very emotional for all of us. We laughed and we cried. It really chokes me up because when you see it, you don’t see unattractiveness or shame from the women, all you see is true beauty.
The third season of Oxygen’s plus-size reality competition Monique’s F.A.T. Chance starts with one hour casting special on July 21st @ 10PM ET/PT.

There is no rhyme or reason for the body paint. The shot needs a theme/concept. How come nobody is painted like a whale or an elephant or a buffalo? See, now THAT would make sense.

I am a real size woman myself and All that I had to say when I first saw the photo of Mo and the girls was YES!!!!! good for them.. we see nakend pictures of women that have body shapes of my 6 year old neice all of the time and no one has anything negative to say… (and we wonder why we have so may grown men going after and molesting little girls…………These ladies are a true rep of what a grown woman looks like.. why are we so fast to promote pedophilia????? (try to be a size 4 & 6 and shave all of our adult private hair off….)…..i wish I could have been in the conteset and on on the show because i would have posed with the same confidence that Mo’Nique shows in the picture…. and you all would have secretly loved it ….Mo and the girl that looks like she is in the production of CATS are absolutly stunning……give them their props and stop hating…… Im sure that your men would love it just as much as their men do….As most of you little fools out there do your best to conform to Americans idea of what it in and hot…..women like these girls and myself are out and about catching the eyes of YOUR man ….loll….. Stop being followers in what American society says is beauty and realize that we come in all shapes and sizes…In the bibicl days a woman with extra meat on her meant , HEALTH, WEALTH, that they had had the honor of being a MOTHER and that they were perfect candidates to bear healthy children… …

Marcia:
All of your contestant sisters were awesome! But, Marcia,
You are a wild child!!! You are gorgeous! Much like your mom when she was your age! I imagine many well known people didn’t “fit in” while growing up!
You are named after my sister, your Godmother! She was a risk taker and walked many a runway as well!
Thanks Monique for giving Marcia this opportunity. She has that “something special” that many young women long for…skinny or well endowed! Thank you for seeing it in her too!
Keep being bold for all of us who never will!

Some of the comments thus far have really crossed the line of constructive criticism, and are in the territory of vitriol and hate. Someone referred to them as monsters, somebody else as whales, and there was a host of other hateful terms used to describe them. You don’t have to criticize these women by calling them names. Its very unnecessary and judgmental, since no can claim to be a bastion of physical perfection. The thing with weight loss is this. You have to get your mind right, before you can get your body right, and that is what I believe Mo’Nique is attempting to do with her show.

The one siiting to the left of Mo’Nique (painted in black and blue) is just EWWWWW. Can we H.A.M. when looking at this picture?!
This whole “fuck u skinny bitches” joke aint funny anymore. I loved it when Mo did it at the Def Jam Queens of Comedy show, but it’s some played-out ish!
That said, I think that Mo’Nique is a very beautiful woman, and DANG, she’s near 40 and she hasn’t aged one bit.

Ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must say that all of you have alot of courage and keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a full figure women and I know how it is to struggle with the weight issue, but I know I had to get up and do something about. I join a women fitness club and know that it works,because us overweight women can take our money and put it on everything that’s not important but we should put it on {health foods,gyms,exercise equipments} and not the things that will hurt us in life. I not critisizing or judging just trying to give a lil advice of living a longer healthier life.We all no that our critics study charts already shows that Afro Americans suffer more with health promblems and #1 cause of our death. I will continue to pray for every one and hope that who ever this message is for,that you take heed to what I’m saying and make a change in your life. Remember!!!!!!!!!!!! that Jesus fast to keep his temple and body cleanse,so we should to,try Turkey/Fish and Chicken(baked) lol.

I will like to say to Kay Kay or what ever your name is. Did you ever hear, if you don’t have anything to say “Don’t say nothing at all”.That goes for you, and who ever else that comes on here trying to put someone down. You really don’t know what ART is all about, so you need to close your mouth. Girls are all look very SEXY. Ya’ll make women like me feel GOOD about themself. Also Mo’Nique I will love to know, are you doing another show for 2008. I will love to be part of it, if you are. Get back to me leting me know. Thank you so very much.

I would like to say that this was a good idea. I am grateful that you are trying to boost the BIG girls self esteem up. But I have a problem with your last year episode. I feel that you didn’t allow the right girl to win. I feel that the lady that won shouldn’t have won. She wasn’t even a FAT girl. She didn’t have enough meat on her bones. Now don’t get me wrong she was cute but just wasn’t an the fat girl categories. I think it was unfair toward the other woman that was there. she even wore pj shorts that showed off all her assets the other ladies didn’t have a chance against her. I was upset from the beginning of the show.

i think thay are beautiful i use to be big and i wish id had the guts to do that then.
i love my self now even if in not a size two. Thay fucking knoked the wall down with this and im proud to say im a curvy girl.
i hope thay put it out for everone to see no matter what people think or say.
people need to get over what thay look like iv seen worse pics of a skinny bitch.
so what if there are nakid, people wouldent say shit if thay where beem poles spreadin there shit out for everyone to see.
thay ant showin there coochys or nipples unlike sum skinny girls you see in photos thees days. i dont find this wrong in any way.
so get over it people ur the ones making it a big deal.

I don’t understand why people think this is so nasty. I personally wouldn’t do it, but that’s just because I’m not comfortable in my skin like she is. To all the people out there that don’t know what it feels like to be “full figured” you dont have a clue on how this is like a stepping stone to other like us. I don’t know about other states but where I’m from it’s not easy being big. She is an role model to all big girls. She looks beautiful and it shows inside and out!

That is so disgusting! I don’t care what kind of point they’re trying to make that is just nasty! i understand that she wants big women to feel proud of who they are but not like that. Pls keep your clothes on and stay very far away from the paint. I believe that yes our bodies are beautiful but we don’t have to put them on display to prove that your comfortable with who you are. If anything it proves the opposite. Our bodies are sacret and should not be shown to the world. I don’t want to see a skinny nude/half nude women more less a bunch of big ones.
