"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
Size 16 Miss England contender Chloe Marshall meets the current title holder Georgia Horsley today
The Guildford-born plus-size model weighs 12st 8lb, is 5ft 10in tall and has a 38DD bust.
The 17-year-old trainee beautician was the first size 16 to win the Miss Surrey title, qualifying her for the Miss England finals in July.
She said: “It’s what I was born to do ? posing for the camera. And as I keep saying, I love my body.
“People seem desperate to get me to say that I don’t, that deep down I’m not happy and would rather be thin, but the fact is I wouldn’t change myself at all.
“Do I have fat days? Of course, but what woman doesn’t!”
But although she is the average size for a woman, in the age which has seen the rise of the scarily thin size zero model, she certainly stands out.
Chloe said reaction has been mainly positive, but she admitted in an interview with Hello magazine, that there had been some snide remarks with one writer accusing her of “promoting obesity”.
Chloe told Hello: “I’m a size 16, I eat well, I exercise regularly ? I jog, swim, and work out with weights.
“What I am promoting is a healthy girl who looks after herself and doesn’t try to force her body to be something its not.”
The teenager, who has been signed up by the Models Plus agency, added: “Everybody thinks you have to be a tall, slim blonde and I’m a curvy brunette.
“I want to show it is possible to be beautiful and not a standard size zero.”
“The reaction I’ve had is great. Other girls have told me I have really boosted their confidence, which is terrific.”
“I wanted to make a bit of a statement. When I studied the other entrants for the Miss Surrey competition I concluded that pretty as the contestants were, they were equally all uniformly blonde and Barbie doll like.
“My mum is really happy and proud of me that I am doing something not just for myself but other people as well and my friends are really supportive, they can’t stop going on about it.”
I think she looks really hot! :) And I’m not saying this just to be nice, I really mean it.

That’s like about $275 worth of stuff for only $56.44!!
I woke up at 4.30 am CST to place an order and Thank God for my alarm clock! People are having all sorts of trouble now and are really upset. For the record, this is the first time in my entire life that I woke up so early to shop (online and offline). This is so worth it. The Joy Bag (which is sold out online) has goodies worth $175.

So looking forward to receiving my goodies :) Never been to a mall on Black Friday and never will! I am scared of crowds. Plus I hate looking for parking! I might go to the Tanger Outlet Mall on Saturday though…I did shop a whole bunch already and don’t really need anything…oh well!
The Body Shop is having a huge sale, starting online tomorrow and in-stores on Friday. Everything except prepackaged sets and gifts are 3 for $30. You can also buy a bag with goodies worth $175+ for only $25, once you spend at least $30. :) Check this FB page for more details.
Amazon.com: Harry Potter Years 1-6 Giftset (Widescreen Edition): Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson: Movies & TV- $23.99 ONLY. Just bought a set :)
I HATE Banana Moon soap by LUSH. I wanted to love it so badly, but it smells of ROTTEN bananas :’( I try to hold my breath and take a shower…still have about 3/4th of the bar left- That’s about 75 gms. Not sure how I am gonna get through it…Also, like most soaps from lush (at least the ones I have tried so far), it is not at all moisturizing…I don’t know if I’m gonna buy any more soaps from lush. The SLS in their soaps really irritates my skin. Will probably get Coconut and Almond smoothie though.
The movie left me with these great wants…lovely movie…I’m gonna watch it again for sure.
Went to The Body Shop and got $10 off $15+ coupon :-) Got the following-
Each was for $5.99. Also used my LYB membership card. 3 products for a total of $7.74. The SA wouldn’t let me exchange my 2nd coupon for the 2nd free gift. She said it starts only tomorrow and the system won’t allow her :-( I wonder if it’s true, because this SA wasn’t really being nice to me. When I walked in, she didn’t even offer me the In-Store Coupon…I had to ask her for it. Plus I hate the way she first applied the $10 off $15 coupon and then my 10% off LYB card discount. On such a small order, it doesn’t matter. But on a bigger order, it definitely does. The sad part is, the only other TBS store in my city is in downtown and it costs $10 to park my car downtown :( I don’t know if I ever want to see this SA’s face again. Sorry for going on ranting, but I remember her face from last weekend, when she wasn’t really friendly either. I guess they have sales goal to meet and it doesn’t help when their Corporate keeps sending us coupons….WTF. Do they expect me to buy stuff for full price even if I have a coupon?! Hmmppff. So mad.
Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ Wedding- on the occasion of the announcement of William and Kate’s engagement- I had to dig up this old video from Youtube!
My Oatifix Face Mask from LUSH FINALLY got over! The Best By Date was “11/08”. Finished it today, but I didn’t see any change in its consistency. I probably used this mask twice a week on an average. Got a total of at 7-8 uses out of it. This last time, I had to slap a load on my face because I had more than what is reqd for one application, but had a little less for 2X. While the mask helps my dry spots, it does nothing else for me. I am glad it got over! I have the BIG jar of Mask of Magnaminty lying in my freezer. I didn’t read reviews before buying it, else I would have bought the smaller one. Anyone, I am hoping that Magnaminty is gonna help me with my acne.
Since I’ve started using Grease Lightning, I’ve seen a big reduction in my face acne :) So happy to report that. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but the tiny black spots on my face have also lightened. I’ve also been using Tea Tree Oil from The Body Shop. I really like it, even though it stings. :)
There is a special Charity Pot promotion going on now (available in stores, I assume online soon as well). You can get a 50g pot (Lemony Flutter/face mask size pot) for only $5, and all the money goes to Charity, what could be better? I talked about my feelings on the smell of Charity Pot in my review but I like the feel of it and for $5 I am happy to get it and maybe get some to give away with Christmas gifts.
I so wanted to do a face mask today, but had no time :( Just used Herbalism + Full of Grace. Used the following- I love Juicy Shampoo, BBW Eucalyptus Spearmint conditioner, A Ring of Roses soap, The Body Shop Africa Spa Monoi Massage Oil, Body Shop Spa Wisdom Monoi Moisture Balm (my absolute fav), Body Shop Spa Wisdom Africa Spa Hand and Foot Butter and The Olive Press Balm on my lips! :-) Good night peeps.
This is what my girlfriend looks like right now.
A few months ago she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had surgery in May and her entire left breast has been removed (it’s called “total mastectomy”) due to the extension of the cancer mass. Also all the lymph nodes of the left armpit have been removed, to stop the cancer from spreading to the rest of the body.
She now needs a lot of medications (chemotherapy) and side treatments (hormone therapy) that cost a fortune, and I’ve been hoping that our faithful followers could help us, because we cannot afford the medical fees for these treatments, especially since they need to last 5 years!
We currently have more than 5200 followers, if only each one donated $1 we would be able to cover the expenses for a couple of months.If you like this blog and would like to express this appreciation, please consider a small donation to my girlfriend’s fund. No donation is too small, and we will be extremely grateful to each and every donor.

Thank you very much, from the deep of our hearts.
I teared up reading this. Please consider donating to this worthy cause.
I donated…did you? :-) Please consider donating. Thank you.
