MISS OR MISTER BIRMINGHAM?

30-05-2007

We all know by now that they couldn’t find a Brummie bird pretty enough to represent the city in some lame-brain beauty contest or other at the weekend - so they got some Oatcake muncher from Stoke to stand in. The Stirrer’s not impressed.

You see, in this part of the world we relish the human shape in all its forms - that (rather rude) Beautiful South song “Perfect ten” does it for us. Walsall isn’t the “fattest town in Britain” by mistake - but by design.

So here’s a challenge…we’re willing to print a photo of any Stirrer reader - male or female - with or without a swimsuit for our Miss or Mister Birmingham (incorporating the wider West Midlands 2007).

We won’t just judge by looks alone - the determination to help people and travel the world will also be crucial.

Oh yes, and if the picture is of a well-known celebrity in embarrassing pose, so much the better.

Send all contributions to editor@thestirrer.com and we’ll create a gallery of gorgeousness.

To get you in the mood, here’s a reminder of what a beefcake Birmingham’s cabinet member for housing John Lines looked like at the Superprix a few years ago. Did I hear you mention the words “gay icon”??????
