A German singer who plays Snow White has lost her job at Dresden's Christmas market after posing for nude photos in a bathtub, a local daily newspaper reports. Market organisers sacked Samira, 22, after photos appeared in publications showing her lying naked in a bathtub filled with soap suds and rose petals, reports said on Monday. After posing for the shots, she was banished from Fairyland by the organisers of the Christmas market.
Samira, whose surname was not given, has played Snow White for five years. Her long black hair, pale skin and beautiful red lips made her a favourite among school children, and their dads. Dresden's mayor and others who miss her performance are asking that she be reinstated.
And who is coming to her rescue? The seven dwarves, along with other characters from the Grimm Fairy Tale, even the wicked Queen, are threatening to strike unless Samira is reinstated.
Update: Snow White's manager, Gerd Richter, has confirmed she has been given another job at a bigger Christmas market down the road.
Bernd Kaden, who runs the Christmas market in nearby Meissen, said: "We could not believe they didn't want her. We are happy to take her on".
