 Like Fashion, Beauty follows cycles and trends. The tide is turning from the super scary, super skinny runways models to more voluptuous models and beauty queens. Beyonce and Queen Latifah have helped women become more comfortable with a more rounded shape. In fact, in some countries models that are too thin have been literally banned from the catwalks. Pushing the limits to defining new beauty ideals is Ms. Chloe Marshall, a 16 year old girl from Guildford, England who is competing for the title of Miss England. Besides being plus size, Chloe, currently a beauty therapy student, does not confirm in other ways to the usual beauty pageant contestant. She has noted "pretty as the contestants were, they were equally all blonde and Barbie doll like". She wants to promote "curvy" girls like Beyonce her ideal, as good options for beauty queens and runway models. Chloe has made the International press with her quest to redefine beauty and to make a statement about being a plus size beauty contestant. Chloe told the media "It's possible to be beautiful and not a standard sized zero". In fact, the size 17 model beat out seven other girls who were much "slimmer" to win the title of Miss Surrey which allows her to make a go at the national finals for Miss England. Chloe is 5" 10" and has a 38DD bustline. Besides Beyonce, she credits her inspiration to other curvy celebrities. As a result of her quest for Miss England she was recently signes by Models Plus model agency. She is thrilled and very excited, whether she wins the Miss England contest or not. The Miss England Wannabe has triggered much debate about the use of size zero models in the fashion industry. This debate started when Uruguayan model Luisel Ramos died of heart failure after starving herself to be a successful runway model. Her death was followed by 21 year old Brazilian model, Ana Carolina Reston, who also died from starving herself. Milan and Madrid Fashion Weeks have now officially banned underweight models. The British Fashion council refused to ban size zero women from London Fashion Week, which upset many concerned with glorifying starving models. Women's groups along with medical societies have expressed concern that the glorification of size zero models encourages young girls to develop anorexia and other eating disorders in a quest to become recognized beauties and models.
