Girls Want Jordan And Jodie LifestylesBy By Sky News Reporter Emma Birchley Updated: 10:00, Friday June 15, 2007A growing number of young women are pursuing careers as glamour models enticed by the lure of a celebrity lifestyle.Jordan: An aspirational figure?Jordan: An aspirational figure?1234098.jpg Tabloid stars like Jordan and Jodie Marsh have achieved fame and fortune by flaunting their assets for the cameras.Now agencies which hunt out new talent have said more girls than ever are approaching them looking for work.Nina Barnes set up Genesis Models in Bury, near Manchester, two years ago."We started wondering if we would have enough people to apply for us. Now I get 10 applicants a day," she said."You can't be a glamour model until you're 18 plus... but every week I get someone who's 13 or 14 years of age."Kelly-Ann Wilson was one of a dozen women invited along to a test shoot at the agency.Advertisement"I want the fame. I want people to recognise me. I want to be a household name because I want to be successful in what I do," she explained.On her 18th birthday Kelly-Ann visited a plastic surgeon to discuss having implants. Soon after her breasts were boosted from a 34B to a 34DD.Linda Owens, 20, is also considering going under the knife. She says she wants to look like a Barbie doll and would like implants like Jordan's."I'd like to get to where Jordan is right now but I think every model in the world would probably say the same thing," she said.Kelly-Ann poses for the camerasKelly-Ann poses for the cameras1547939.jpg But it's a trend that's causing concern. Observer columnist Christina Odone described it as a sad indictment of society when women feel it's more important to have a big bust than intelligence.She said: "There is an attitude now that all I need to do is pose, strut my stuff, show off my breasts and my assets and I too can get into the tabloids, be a Page Three girl and walk on the red carpets of Hollywood."That is the ultimate goal, and it's celebrity, it's D-List celebrity. Surely there's more to life than that."One survey recently revealed that that two-thirds of teenage girls would rather become a glamour model than a nurse, doctor or teacher.But according to critics, it's hardly surprising when "lad mags" and reality TV shows continue to make stars of the scantily clad and the surgically enhanced.
