MISS ENGLAND TOLD SHE IS TOO CHUNKY
The Daily Star (UK) ^ | 29th November 2008 | Robert FiskYour

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.”

There ain’t nothin wrong with that.

Guess the ten-year-old-boy look is still popular with the Barney Frank ‘designers’.

The anorexic look just doesn't work for me. I prefer normal people.

Verdict on Miss Coleman: Not guilty!

Verdict on the pederasts who run the fashion industry: Guilty with extreme prejudice.

The gay men who run the fashion and modeling world disapprove, therefore she must immediately shrink to a size 0, with the more bones protruding, the better.

Not guilty, on the charge of being chunky.
But GUILTY, of giving the judge a chubby.

If that's chunky, then I'd like to fill up on some of that good stuff.
