MODEL agencies are turning down sexy Miss England Laura Coleman because she is too fat.
The blonde has gone up a dress size to a perfect 10.
But Laura, who will take part in Miss World in South Africa next month, has found most agencies have a problem with her new curves.
Laura, 22, said: I really think the curvy girl should be promoted more as a positive image in the media. But the agencies seemed to have a problem with me when I wasnt skinny any more.
Eating disorder specialist Emmy Gilbert added: The fashion world endorses an ideal which can be unattainable or, if achieved, highly dangerous.
yeah, talk about a real workout (sarc)...
i’d totally hit it...
Ridiculous.
They still haven’t figured it out. Men like women with a little meat on the bones. Not anorexic women who look like crack heads. Of course, the agency are aiming their product at other women, not men.
They’re fake... you can look it up on snopes.com, it’s part of an anti-anorexia ad campaign. Also, I’ve seen photos of people who’ve starved to death and they’re not even always that skinny, so there’s no way a girl could really be that skinny and able to walk down a runway.
