Brittan’s Missing Top Model Looks Shocking
It’s not like I have a problem with it, but when you’re not expecting it…disabilities can be surprising to some people. Brittan’s Missing Top Model will start next week on BBC and it’s all about finding the hottest disabled model in the world.
‘Britain’s Missing Top Model’ only features models with disabilities from around the world - including one from the U.S.. Among the eight lovely ladies who will duke it out onscreen are women without limbs, some who are partially paralyzed and one who is deaf.
The series, which debuts on BBC in July, reportedly aims to challenge the standard of beauty in the fashion industry.
“I went into this program thinking it was an adventure, rather than a path to a new career,” contestant Jessica Kellgren-Hayes, who often uses a wheelchair to get around, told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper. “Although I don’t want any of my dreams to be unattainable, I’m not sure if Britain is ready for a model with a disability.”
I think it’s an interesting idea, but I just can’t see it being a huge ratings thing. People tend to run from this sort of thing, but I think I’m going to be checking it out. More pictures at the source link above.
