The First Miss Plus America
Coronet Productions created the first pageant to celebrate plus size women on a national level. They "believe that all women are beautiful, inside and out" and are "devoted to celebrating the essence of the full-figured woman and giving her an avenue in which to pursue recognition for those causes".Chenese Lewis, who was working as a plus size model/actress at the time, entered as Miss Louisiana Plus America. Within a short time she went on to win the main title in the 2003 event. Because of her continued work in promoting the value of plus size women they also awarded her with Miss Plus America Lifetime.

This experience led Chenese to create the first online directory dedicated exclusively for plus size pageants and competitions, Plus Pageantry.
