Miss England has to gain weight<\/a> in time for the Miss World pageant. She’s not model thin and wears a size 4 but she’s a little flat chested. They want a contestant with more curves.<\/p>\n

A British beauty queen says she was told to pack on pounds for the upcoming Miss World competition – an unexpected request, considering she’s not rail-thin. “I was a little bit shocked,” Miss England Georgia Horsley said Friday in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show.
\n“I don’t think I’m too thin. I’m happy with the way I am,” said the 20-year-old, who is a size 4. She added: “I probably would have been more hurt if they told me to lose weight, I think.”
\nHorsley said pageant organizers want “their girls to be more voluptuous and womanly and curvy, you know, rather than the stick-thin, size-0 models that you see around.”
\n“I’ve just got quite more of an athletic, boyish-type figure rather than the hourglass figure that some women have,” said the 5-foot-8 Horsley. “And they’re just seeing if, you know, I could maybe put a bit of weight on and it might give me those curves.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nShe should<\/span> be happy with the way she looks, she’s gorgeous!
\nWell, at least they didn’t tell her to get plastic surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
