Page Three girl

A Page Three girl is a woman who models for topless photographs published in UK tabloid The Sun.

Models in other newspapers

In the 1970s The Daily Mirror also had topless models, but these were dropped as sexist in the 1980s. In some German newspapers, such as Bild, the equivalent is found on the lower part of page one, and is thus called Seite-eins-Mädchen. In 1976 the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet introduced topless models on page nine, referred to as Side 9 Pigen. The Daily Star, which is often seen as a slavish imitation of The Sun, naturally has its own topless models as well, known as Starbirds. Topless models in tabloids were taken to their logical conclusion by the Sunday Sport, which later added a daily edition and strayed into pornography, owned as it is by a company which publishes top-shelf titles.
