Glamour girl Jennifer Hawkins and radio personality Bianca Dye have gone toe-to-toe in the entertainment ring over whose naked pictures are better.

While neither have actually made the claim that they believe they look more attractive than the other without clothes, a debate has opened up on which image is more appropriate for promoting the female body.

It all started when fashion magazine Marie Claire displayed a naked Jennifer Hawkins on their front cover, promoting her as a positive role model for boy image.

While the shot proved to be a hit with the male population, it was far from the case for curvy radio host Dye, who said the image was “just not right”.

“She was born beautiful. She has not had to go through any stress to look like that,” Dye said.

”Jackie Frank is one of the most respected editors in the country and I am in shock that they would say Jennifer Hawkins is a natural role model. Its like we’ve taken 20 steps backwards.”

However, the former Miss Universe winner has since received much support, including the Butterfly Foundation, who deals with anorexic individuals and those with unhealthy diets.

The general manager of the organization, Julie Parker, came to Hawkins defense saying the images have opened up a very important awareness on the issue of females’ body sizes.

“What we’re talking about here is just one small part of the much wider spectrum of body image, self esteem and eating disorder issues and that small part is actually about digital enhancement and retouching of images,” Ms Parker said.

“It’s so excessive in magazines these days and young girls and women are constantly telling us that they don’t even know what they’re looking at any more, and what they want to see is more real, untouched and natural photos of celebrities and people in magazines, and I think this delivers that.”

    I think that Dye has got a beautiful body – so much more so than Jennifer Hawkins. When I see her body, I see a real woman with natural curves and at a healthy weight. I think that it is ridiculous that they have claimed that Jennifers body is a role model for promoting the female figure. Maybe 1 out of 50 women have a body like that and to name her as having as being a ‘role model’ must be self-esteem damaging to all those other 49 women who have normal bodies. In ancient rome times women who were larger were considered the most beautiful as it reflected their health and position in society… so I wonder how it has changed so much where being up to this day we consider skinnier the more attractive. Interesting…
