X Factor under review for being too sexy !

The X Factor final show is under investigation for being too sexy for a family evening show. Some are joking about the name of the talent show saying it should be called the XXX Factor after the Burlesque performance on stage. On Dec. 11, the show featured a couples of live performances from both Christina Aguilera and Rihanna and they were on stage with very little clothing and doing sexy moves. Some viewers complained that it was too sexy! How can anything be too sexy! I think the stage costumes were fantastic. I would love to dance in an outfit like that and I am sure that a lot of men would love to watch me!

The Ofcom has launched an investigation and the show is likely to get a warning for the sexual moves from Christina Aguilera and her cabaret dancers. Ofcom will decide whether the show broke section 1.3 of the broadcasting code, which seeks to protect children from sexual content.

The two suggestive live performances were from Rihanna, who performed her song "What’s My Name" which involved a tame striptease and Christina Aguilera performed a suggestive routine with a group of scantily-clad dancers who cavorted on chairs wearing just bras, knickers and stockings to promote her new striptease-themed movie, Burlesque. Following the dancing, more than 4,000 viewers complained, claiming that the racy performances should not have been aired during a family evening show but should be kept for an adult audience only.

A total of 2,750 viewers complained to Ofcom, while 1,500 contacted ITV directly. The show was between 7pm and 9pm and a lot of children were watching to give support to their favorite act.

An X Factor spokesman, however, has said that Aguilera and Rihanna’s performances "were appropriate for the show."

Sexy in a different way

Who can define beauty? We all feel different about what is sexy or not sexy and what turns us on. Recently, we see more adverts using average, odd looking or different looking people rather than the stereotypical blonde with a large smile and sleek features. Helene Atsuko is one new cover girl you would not have expected on the catwalk. She has a shaved head, tattoos and piercings. She is 5ft 3in and a size 12. Yet her striking looks have sparked interest in a new type of modelling agency. She has been signed up with agency Ugly Models. 

 

 

Since joining the model agency last year Helene, 23, has been in demand for a range of magazine and television work where her look is a great plus. More and more customers are looking for models with unusual looks and Ugly Models is happy to provide from its extensive catalogue of sexy models with a difference.

The London-based agency has specialised in what is referred to as character models. The model agency has more than 1,000 people of all ages, shapes and sizes on its books and they are redefining what we have come to expect in a model. Their catalogue includes a woman with one leg, several dwarfs, the world’s tallest man and a lady with 2,520 tattoos. They provide models for shows, TV, magazine or any client requiring a model which other modelling agencies will not have on their books. Most of the famous modelling agencies concentrate on finding beautiful, tall, slim and sexy girls who stand out on photographs.

Despite working with a restricted market, Ugly’s client list is very impressive and features some famous brands such as Calvin Klein, Diesel, Cosmopolitan, Elle or Dove amongst many others. Needless to say that none of their models are airbrushed. Clients aim for real ordinary people and not extreme classic beauty.

We are all learning to redefine what we consider sexy and hot and we learn to appreciate beauty in many different ways.

We need to understand the Ugly philosophy of celebrating differences and using ordinary people and embrace this change of attitude from a modelling agency.
