Valerie Begue, 22, will not be stripped of the title she won Dec. 8, but will not be allowed to take part in upcoming international competitions, Miss France organizers said Friday.
Begue described the outcome as "a compromise which satisfies all parties."
The pageant's criteria stipulates that candidates must "never have posed or exhibited (themselves) in dubious outfits or poses, partially or totally nude."

Begue is a native of France's Indian Ocean island of Reunion. She is to be replaced in international pageants by the first runner-up, Vahinerii Requillart, Miss New Caledonia.

Comical to see a country that has naked women on subway ads feign modesty when it comes to Miss France.
She's hot though.
Comical that the pageant powers-that-be have an 'unless we tell you to' approach to 'partial nudity'. Gimme a break. Yet another way men in power are obsessed with regulating what women do with their bodies.
Write this down: if these are the worst of the pictures, they are much less offensive than the broadcast of any pageant this young woman has competed in.
