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 wasn’t skinny any more.”

Eating disorder specialist Emmy Gilbert added: “The fashion world endorses an ideal which can be unattainable or, if achieved, highly dangerous.”

A travesty of justice as she is clearly NOT GUILTY

[Kirkwood]

More recent photos show that she has developed an early beer gut, which is kind of gross on her. The rest of her seems fine.

What tabloids? At the supermarket where I’ll be getting my $1.99 croissant @ 7:30 AM tomorrow morning (and that’s all I can afford), there is Scientific American, Outside, bon appetit, New Yorker, Men’s Health, Consumer Reports, and a few other intelligent publications for refined and discerning customers.

If she’s too fat you’re too gay.

Schwiiiiiinnngggg!!!

[Smokin' Joe]

Too fat??? She’s gorgeous! Who was the jealous skank who wrote the article, really? Or was some shrew hissing in their ear?

[SupplySider]

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for posting the critical evidence that this lady is NOT CHUNKY!

[higgmeister]

Kroger or Publix, depending on which one has Cokes on sale each week. Your shopping is much to refined for my tastes.

The eye makeup is terrible. I do not care for the raccoon look.

[higgmeister]

I also say, extremely Not Guilty!

[Capn Nickerson]

She looks good. Healthy. Female. Interesting taste in lingerie...

[nufsed]

Drop the charges.

[thecabal]

So very, very true.

Personal Favs

I'm a sucker for the "wholesome" / "innocent" look.

[OneWingedShark]

Ah, as classy as this picture would no doubt be:

[caseinpoint]

True. The world is getting vulgar out there. As one who avoids most R-rated movies and all television, I am still a bit sheltered.

[kalee]

She’s a very pretty young woman, much prettier than those sick looking anorexic skeletons they have on the typical fashion runway today.

[AD from SpringBay]

The people who think she is fat have eye problems.

[SunkenCiv]

I'd like to nibble.
