Soldier becomes new Miss England
Telegraph UK ^ | 06 Nov 2009

Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge has become the new Miss England after Rachel Christie stepped down following her arrest over an alleged nightclub brawl.

A statement from Miss England organisers said Miss Christie, 21, had stepped down as she wanted to concentrate on clearing her name. It was later announced that L/Cpl Hodge, who was first runner-up in the 2009 national contest, has become the new Miss England.

L/Cpl Hodge has been given leave from her duties as a soldier in the British Army and will represent England in the Miss World Final in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday December 12.

She was previously given an award by her unit in the Royal Anglian Regiment for her actions during a posting in Basra and has earned the nickname ''Combat Barbie''.

She has also previously worked with lingerie chain La Senza on its Face of the Armed Forces campaign.

Lisa Bond, marketing director of La Senza said: ''Not only is she absolutely gorgeous but she is also an intelligent, inspiring young woman who does such an amazing job for her country.''

The one on the right looks like a man and the one on the left looks like a fembot.

>> The one on the right looks like a man and the one on the left looks like a fembot.

And the one in the middle looks like she can handle a gun.

You want a Miss England who could end any brawl in a heartbeat.

The one on the right was probably the approved PC choice.

It is too late, I saw her in her natural state, it reminds me of a girl I picked up that was cute enough to get to know in a meaningful way but when I saw her modeling pictures at her apartment I could not believe that she was that incredible beauty in the photos.

Professional photographers and makeup can make unattractive women beautiful especially if they have the raw bone structure that they can work with, I like women that are beautiful walking out of the shower with wet hair, in fact that is my test.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in the shi-shi bistroes,
we shall fight on the runways and photo shoots,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air in First Class, we shall defend our vanity, whatever the cost may be, so long as we may expense it,
we shall fight in the discos,
we shall fight in the trendy cafes,
we shall fight in the other discos and in the other shi-shi bistroes,
we shall fight in the Special Guest Appearances;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and bulemic, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by British poofter fashion designers, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its fabulous fashion ideas, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
