Ive seen a size zero... she wore it well. I was dating her size 14 cousin at the time who also wore it well.

Since no one else has said it, I'd hit that.

I thought that, but the "Teen" thing threw me off.

Size 16 "back in the day" and size 16 now are two VERY different animals. "Vanity sizing" has taken over the clothing industry now. I think by today's sizing standards Monroe would be something around a 4, if that.

As for the pageant, "healthy body image" and all that...

I like the idea of a "fat" girl being able to compete in a beauty contest, as she's essentially throwing a wrench into the stereotypical works. Whether she's "healthy"...well, she may be for now, but she's only 17...give her not even ten years and see how healthy she'll be if she stays at her current weight.

All I know is that either extreme of fat or thin is really gross-looking to me. But then I'm a heterosexual girl, so my opinion probably doesn't matter much on the issue.

She really doesn't look unhealthily over weight to me at all. Maybe visually by some people's standards but, she's hardly grossly obese.
