Does Beauty Come in My size?

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on July 17, 2007
• Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
• Final notes:
  Okay Im sorry I ended the contest early but I realized I wont be here when its supposed to end and I already had and idea of who was going to win. I really enjoyed holding this contest I wrote the poem in the contest and it made me wonder what others thought about the subject so I was like "Im going to hold a contest on it!" And wow I was soo amazed on everyones entries! I loved them all and I wish I could give you all points but I dont have enough points for that many honorable mentions! Well I loved all the poems and I was really really impressed on everyones enthusiasm! Congradulations to the winners, and to everyone else. You all get the point that beauty comes from the inside its deeper than skin makeup and hair! You dont have to look like a twig! Everyone is Beautiful!
  
  Thanks

  Being more voluptuous myself I cam assure you there are som men who prefer it. However with all this aside it suprises me that you would limite the poems submitted to rhyme only, isn't that just like limiting the body to one size,that everything must fit into one little nitch. Just asking.

  Sweetie!
  Love comes anywhere, anytime and to who deserve it.
  I'm happily a size 14, not a twig atall and I've found love and happiness
  The media is wrong to have oppressed people with their Deadly Looking Models, in my opinion all of them should eat a good Big Mac! And stop giving teen's freaking eating disorders..
