Mirabelle Muller, Thirteen-Year-Old Lady Godiva

I suppose this is somewhat in our line of "Oddball Beauty Queens."

Mirabelle Muller, the 13 year old schoolgirl, rode on a white horse as 'Lady Godiva' in the Carnival Fete procession at Teddington, Middlesex. Mirabelle was asked to leave her convent school after she had been chosen as Godiva.

By today's standards she was fully clothed. How times have changed!

I wonder how many parents today would be ok with their daughters parading through town as Lady Godiva... even with strategically placed hair?
