June 27th, 2008
From the [UK] Daily Mail:
Debbie Van der Putten (left) is one of eight contestants on a new BBC reality show. “Britain’s Missing Top Model” will give a woman with a disability the chance to be a mainstream model.
The aim of the series is to challenge the boundaries that seem to exist in the beauty and fashion industries and cast new light on our concept of the ideal woman.
Van der Putten lost her right arm in a bus crash in 2005. She posed nude for Playboy earlier this year.
Along with limb loss, disabilities to be represented by contestants on the show include deafness and paralysis. The show debuts Tuesday, July 1.
