This title is English-she is actually signing 'fat' and 'beautiful' only. My other artistic license for Big is Beautiful Too has been to use both the primary and secondary hands so two signs could be communicated simultaneously. The "Is", I have left understood. Obviously when signing in conversation, each word would be signed separately with one dominant hand. I have also noticed that the Deaf culture does not attach such stigma to large women. Fat and big are not considered derogatory, but merely physical descriptions.
