A troubled “World”: Miss England on avocado binge to get more curvy

Georgia Horsley is blonde, 20 years old, a UK size eight, weighs 117 pounds, and was recently crowned Miss England. You’d think that would qualify her as candidate material to do well in the Miss World beauty pageant. But if she realistically hopes to win, she’s been told, she needs to do one more thing.

Fatten up.

That word came from no less than the director of the Miss England competition, former model and Miss World judge Angie Beasley, who informed Georgia that the Miss World philosophy holds that “Beauty pageants are meant to appeal to women everywhere,” which means more curves, more padding, more voluptuousness, more heft. And coincidentally, more unlikely to make female viewers feel like Jabba the Hutt by comparison and flee to other channels.

Therefore, Georgia is urgently gorging herself on caloric foodstuffs prior to the start of the month-long competition in Sanya, China, on December first. “Miss World judges like naturally curvy girls and don’t like the stick-thin women you see on the catwalks,” she explains. “They promote healthy eating and I want to help them get that message across, so I’m giving it my all.”
