England is FULL on! And I mean FULL- figure. Chloe Marshall is the first plus size beauty pageant winner in national qualifying history. Chloe, a size 16, is the winner of the title of Miss Surrey. She beat out 7 extra thin girls to win her crown and she goes on to try to win the title of Miss England. Chloe said to the The Sun: “I wanted to make a bit of a statement. When I studied the other entrants for the competition I concluded that, pretty as they were, they were all uniformly blonde and Barbie doll-like.” Take that! She is not a Barbie girl and it is apparently no longer a Barbie world (at least not in Surrey).

Chloe is a beauty therapy student. I am not sure what “beauty therapy” means but seeing her win has made me loads happier! When Brazilian model, Ana Carolina Reston, died from anorexia in a desperate bid to be a size zero, it prompted organizers of Madrid Fashion Week to ban underweight models, then Milan followed by putting a stop to “too thin” models being used on catwalks. The British Fashion Council, however, refused to ban size zero women from taking part in London Fashion Week. Chloe’s size is the national average; her win is a win for all women and especially the women of England.

A Size 12 is not fat, and a size 16 isn’t either. In fact, in England, you might be considered a beauty queen!

Chloe Marshall wobbles her wobbly bits as the “ambassador of curves”

See ya… I think I will go flaunt my wobbly bits at people :)
