Young Model Refuses to Pose Topless

A 17 year-old Australian model has refused to pose wearing only panties and body paint for a reality show.

Channel Seven publicist Martini Connelly last night said Sara was unavailable for comment.

"She didn't feel comfortable going out on Federation Square with body paint," she said. "She refused to do it."

Ms Connelly refused to comment when asked if it was appropriate to ask a teenager to strip down and model topless covered only in bodypaint.

Appropriate? It's called modelling. If you want to be a "supermodel", you are going to be nude, or nearly nude, both backstage, and on the runway. Your body is on display at all times. This is like wanting to be a swimmer, but refusing to get wet.
