   Laura did not deserve to win. The other girls have so much more about them, and i’m not just talking looks. Although Laura is attractive, she does not stand out against the others. She wont ever be a model because she has already turned her back on the industry after her attempts at being a model in her younger days. And she has been quoted in doing so. Shes asying one thing but doing another…thats not Miss World behavior.

   James,

   I think there were some short articles about her heritage. She came from a family of beauty queens. Maybe she got her crown because of some respect for her family.

   Maybe she did get it from respect, but thats not fair on the other contestants, who dont come from a family of beauty queens. I just dont think she should slater the modeling industry – shes even been quoted saying she would much rather be a beauty queen than a model any day – then turned around and said she hopes her new title can be a platform for her new modeling career!! she even said she hated the industry after being told to lose weight by an agency. Its as if shes said all this to gain the title, and now shes got it, she can drop her believes and principles.

   James,

   I agree. I read those parts about her. It is her part to prove that she can put her new title to good use. Many queens have fallen by the side. It is unfair that some people are born with the silver spoon in the mouth.

   England needs fresh stars.
   Miss England 2008 Laura Coleman from Derby a viking town is surprisingly good looking and is capeable of striking gold at Kiev.
   She looks strong enough to be a model and has confidence to reach for and go far as a film star.

   an article on Laura…

   So, our very own Miss England, Laura Coleman appears to be making headlines everywhere…albeit for all the wrong reasons. As I understand it, the concept behind the Miss England beauty award, as well as all other beauty pageants, is to promote things such as charity work and effectively be an ambassador for our country? Someone to shine out England’s beacon of truth, regarding the real issues in today’s society…while also having rather lovely physical attributes? This way, the issues really concerning society, and the world today, are actually listened too and reported about. It appears to me to be an effective and successful means of attracting the attention of both tabloid and OTHER press, whilst concentrating on important world issues. Undoubtedly, photo shoots and catwalks come as part of the package…and it is undoubtedly these incentives that bring in the beauties. Unfortunately for England, our ambassador (as she regards herself on radio derby http://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/content/articles/2008/07/22/laura_coleman_miss_england_feature.shtml ) appears to have forgotten what her role really entails. Let’s take a look back at Laura’s “career” from the very beginning. At 15 years old, Laura entered the modelling world after being signed with one agency in London. Unfortunately, through her own admission, she was rejected by several modelling agencies after being asked to lose weight. With a sensible head on her shoulders, Laura carried on with studies and it appears she never modelled again. Following in the footsteps of both her Mother and her Grandmother, Laura took it upon herself to enter Miss Leicestershire, which she went on to win and therefore automatically was entered into Miss England. Being placed 4th, she returned to her studies and gained a degree in Business and marketing. Brains and Beauty I hear you cry! Perfect ambassador for our country in Miss England! So, after winning Miss Derby in her last year of University, Laura went on to Miss England. Here, she successfully managed to use her unfortunate experiences in the modelling industry to win public votes, and after being crowned Miss England, stated she “Would much rather be a beauty queen than a model any day” Being sensible, Beautiful, and Intelligent it is little wonder Laura was chosen to represent our country to the world.

   However, shortly after winning the title, it seems Laura’s initial hostilities towards the fashion industry were forgotten. Regularly appearing in photo shoots for papers such as The Sun, The Daily Star and The Mirror (http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/60561/Miss-England-told-she-is-too-chunky/ http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/latest/2008/12/13/video-miss-england-laura-coleman-talks-to-mirror-co-uk-115875-20967512/ http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article1803132.ece)

   Laura seems to be somewhat of a hypocrite. It is not only what we see, but what we hear that also implies this: shortly after winning the title, Laura was quoted as saying she “Hopes her new title will help her modelling career” When we look back at Laura’s “modelling career” that she speaks of on both Radio Derby and to The Mirror (http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/latest/2008/12/13/video-miss-england-laura-coleman-talks-to-mirror-co-uk-115875-20967512/ ) I struggle to find evidence of this so called modelling career. I was under the impression that after starting at 15, and being cruelly told her figure was not up to model standard, she left it all behind to concentrate on her studies? Surely that was one of her main arguments in her campaign for votes during the Miss England competition? Furthermore, I find it hard to understand why someone who appeared to be so against the industry from such young age would ever want help making a name for herself in it again? More recently, Laura has been hitting our headlines due to model agencies saying she is “too chunky.” This is a sad and humiliating thing to have to happen to such a beautiful young lady, however why Laura took it upon herself to attempt to re-enter the industry is beyond me. Maybe she felt that having the title of Miss England would make the agencies sit up and take notice at last? Whatever the reason, I find it incredibly hypocritical of her for even entertaining the idea of modelling again after the comments she made to all that voted for her.

   As part of the prizes presented to the new Miss England, Laura was given a television presenting course: something she asked them for. I personally feel that television presenting is a great career choice for her, and something she should pursue now she has the opportunity and as much help as she will ever get. However, Laura seems to have let her brains with her degree. It has been reported that she now wants to enter the world of singing and show of her talents at this years x-factor. (http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/latest/2008/12/13/video-miss-england-laura-coleman-talks-to-mirror-co-uk-115875-20967512/ )

   I shall hazard a guess, and state that if there was a “Miss Fame Award” our very own Laura Coleman would be right there, being one of the first to apply. Laura has done very little, if any, charity work, and i feel incredibly let down by this years England’s beauty queen. Not only has she effectively lied to win her country over, but she has ignored all the responsibilities that come with such a prestigious title. Any opportunity regarding fame and money that has come Laura’s way, she has taken with both hands and embraced thoroughly. All opportunities she has had to talk about charity, and the real important issues life has to offer, she has utterly wasted. When the Sun quiz her about her up-coming x-factor moment, or when The Daily Star want to hear more about her rejection from top model agencies, instead of being a true ambassador and seizing opportunities to talk to the media about famine, war, or unhealthy eating disorders, Laura only talks about herself, and her own dreams. “Disappointed,” does not even begin to express how I feel about Miss England. I can only hope that next year’s beauty queen will truly have more brains than beauty.
