While being overweight is nothing to laugh about, especially when 66% of America is overweight, and wearing a fat suit is a little different. I found it interesting to hear about the reactions of shoppers when they saw overweight women. Two models from ‘Deal or No Deal’, Brooke and Leyla, found themselves all geared up to show off their new bods.
The pair went out into the city as themselves to gain the public’s initial reaction. They got the classic stares and macho whistles from the men and the glaring jealous stares from the ladies. These are all reactions that you would expect a model to receive, but what if they are 200 pounds heavier? They were geared up in a ‘fat suit’ that made them appear as if they weighed 300 pounds. Not too many people can pull off the look overnight and they found out why by the reactions they got.
Brooke told ET, who prompted the study, "I mean, I've never experienced this kind of treatment. I've never been treated this kind of way." Obviously she has never been treated that way because she is a tall blonde with blue eyes, and she’s a model! I think she probably should have prepared herself before she started this.
They said they were surprised by the hurtful stares and had to hold back their tears. Well honey, life ain’t always sunshine and rainbows, some people have serious weight problems. Tune in next time to see fab gone flab.
