Kate Moss? No thanks, I prefer Charlotte Church.

There's been a lot of fuss about size zero models recently (well, American size zero - thats a UK size four but I suppose that doesn't sound as good in a headline) and the organisers of the Madrid Fashion Week banned size zero (or unhealthily thin at any rate) models from their catwalks last year and this year's Milan fashion week is seeing many fewer size zero models. About time too. These really skinny models just look hideous. Why starve yourself to a medically unsafe weight when all it does is make you look like a crack head who's one bong away from croaking? You can see the ribs and spine on some of these girls and that's about as attractive as the Black Death in my view. Honestly, I've seen more meat on a skeleton.

And it seems that I'm not alone. Sure, there are chaps out there who like that sort of thing, but I reckon the vast majority prefer girls to have a bit of flesh on them. This is borne out to some degree by a poll carried out, bizarrely, by Fox's Biscuits to find who people rated as the most naturally beautiful. Top of the list was Kate Middleton, current Squeeze of second in line to the throne, Prince William followed by Charlotte Church who is still being boffed by that lucky git pretty boy and Welsh inside centre, Gavin Henson.

That's all as it should be, two stunning girls with great figures at the top. But at number four is the uber stick herself and known associate of oxygen-thief Pete Doherty, Kate Moss. What? The woman is painfully thin and looks like she'd snap in a stiff breeze. She needs to eat something, badly. Most of the rest of the top 10 is also good (Catherine Zeta Jones, Scarlett Johansson, Beyonce, and Keira Knightly who, although a bit thin at times, is naturally so rather than looking like a famine victim). But squeaking in at number 10 is the utterly hideous Victoria 'Posh' Beckham. What the hell? This woman is utterly, utterly repugnant. What on earth is she doing in that list? I suppose it goes to show that some people like the skinny look, but judging by the rest of the list, most people prefer women to have curves.

And that's the crux of it, I reckon. Curves. If I see an attractive woman with curves, I can't help but look and admire. It's not about having huge baps or 'booty' as the kids call a nicely shaped bum these days, but about being womanly, beautiful and proud of it. That is such a huge turn-on for most guys and they would much rather have that than women starving themselves for some perceived improvement in attractiveness or, in the case of models, saleability.

As for me, well, my list would certainly include Charlotte Church but also Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones, Violet Berlin and Kate Sliverton. I like curvy women and fortunately, there seem to still be plenty of women who have a firm hold of reality and a sense of perspective in life and don't try and alter their body shape to the possible detriment of their health. And long may it continue.
