Bulgaria announced the start of a national weight-loss campaign, led by popular transvestite Azis.

"Let's Slim Together for Christmas" will encourage plump people to take care of their bodies prior to the excessive holiday food feasts.

Their inspiration should be the eccentric music artist, who has undergone several liposuctions and still remained overweight. Azis also complained that the recovery period after slimming surgeries was extremely painful.

Actually the pop-folk performer has never appeared embarrassed of his well-rounded figure. His music videos and photo sessions often show him in ornate short dresses and stockings or mini shorts and tights tops.

The "Let's Slim Together" move has also been supported by film icon Anya Pencheva, musicians Iskren Petsov and Hilda Kazasian.
