Miss Great Britain To Let In Single Mums and Divorcees For The First Time 11th April 2010

Hopeful: Rachel Hatton, a 27-year-old divorcee [Pic in URL] and single mum. Single mothers and divorcees will be allowed to enter the Miss Great Britain beauty contest this year for the first time in its 65-year history. Organiser Liz Fuller, a former winner, said: ‘Beauty pageants have been stuck in the past. They were run by men and their rules were to fulfil the typical male fantasy that beautiful young girls had to be virginal.

‘I want to make Miss Great Britain relevant to today’s society. Though I’m not one to encourage divorce nor single motherhood, I accept this is increasingly part of the modern way of life and I didn’t want to discriminate.’ A former communications specialist in the Army is the first divorcee to take advantage of the change in rules. Rachel Hatton, 27, was married for three years until her divorce in 2007 and left the Army last year. She is now hoping to become a professional model. She said: ‘My childhood ambitions were to represent my country as a model soldier and to be a beauty ambassador. I have achieved the first and now I am aiming to fulfil my other dream.’

Will bad teeth disqualify any contestant?

“Will bad teeth disqualify any contestant?”

Well it is England. If they have teeth its considered above average.

And it all started with the slackening of the virginity requirement. The various steps in the continuing decline of civilization starts somewhere, and it is usually small and unnoticed.

Is that what that is? I thought she had a skin condition or someone punched her lights out.

I got into an argument once (about universal health care) with a couple of individuals from Britain who a) swore their dental coverage was outstanding and b) had never heard about British teeth being notoriously bad. Claimed I was making the stereotype up on the spot. When I pointed out several British shows making fun of Brits teeth, they said, “Yes, well, we do like to poke fun at ourselves, but that doesn’t mean anything about our teeth.”

Obviously, the rest of their arguments were just as full of holes (yes, pun intended).

With all the gorgeous third page girls they have in Britain they have to accept single mums, divorces, and this broad as contestants? ;-)

Why can’t they have their own pageants?

Why is everything being knocked down? or is that up?

There are a lot of brits that live in the Tampa area. I don’t know of one that has good teeth.

Before long all the Miss Great Britain candidates will be strutting their stuff in burkas.
