Miss France Valerie Begue Punished For Hot Photos

December 28, 2007

Seems like beauty pageant winners are always getting in trouble these days for racy pics, and Miss France is the latest to run into some trouble.

Valerie Begue did a photoshoot for Entrevue magazine that included a shot of her in a Christ like pose in a swimming pool, and because of that she’s now banned from competing in beauty pageants. But she gets to keep her Miss France title, so I’m not sure how rough of a punishment that really is, since I’m assuming that’s kind of the highest level she could expect to achieve anyway, right?

This isn’t something new for the Miss France pageant. In 2005 the winner was stripped of her title after posing nude for a magazine. Contestants have to sign a waiver saying they’ve never posed nude or in “compromising positions”.
