Beauty is in the eye of the pie holder

In the news this week:
Chloe Marshall is the teenage beauty queen who broke the mould by becoming the first size 16 beauty queen contender to make it to the finals of the Miss England contest.

And now she reveals her shapely body in the official Miss England bikini – not forgetting her tiara of course – in her first bikini photoshoot since winning the Miss Surrey title.

Posing confidently poolside in the brief white gem-embossed Miss England bikini which she'll wear in the pageant in July, Chloe appears completely lacking in self-consciousness.

Many people will read this story and think, good for her and not think about the fat picture.

The problem is that beauty queens are role models to the young. What will happen if beauty queens start letting themselves go a bit?

What good can come from a world filled with women who aren't self-conscious about their bodies?

I don't want to grow up in a world where thirteen-year-old girls don't feel guilty about not vomiting up their supper.

I don't want to grow up in a world where women are recognised more for their brains than their looks.

I blame twenty first century upgrades. Breasts became very popular during the end of the last century. As we entered the new millennium, J-Lo started making big bums (not homeless people)popular. It was only a matter of time before the ladies started combining the two and then filling in the gaps. Don't they know that that is what the penis is for?

It's a world gone mad!

Thin ladies are happy ladies.
