It's now in The Sun [thesun.co.uk], a much more reputable source, although British.

SMILING seductively on a bed, snuggling up to hedgehogs and jetting off to far-flung destinations, Lauren Southern could be just another Instagram star as she poses for her 170,000 admirers.

Yet the blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty is actually among a rising number of far-right 'Barbies' who are luring young women into the traditionally male extremist movement in the UK and elsewhere.

Alt-right Barbies! Impossible female anatomy? Where's Ken when we need him?

Experts say more and more women are being recruited into extreme right groups across Britain - including those with alt-right (alternative right) ideologies, which hold neo-Nazi views, express hate towards immigrants and Muslims and believe white people are superior to other races.

In the past, the UK's far-right movement has been dominated by angry, white men, and spearheaded by high-profile male figures like English Defence League (EDL) co-founder Tommy Robinson.

But now, a new cohort of glamorous far-right female influencers have become unlikely "role models" for young women on social media, promising heaps of male attention, luxury lifestyles and the chance to join sisterly "communities" where they can get dating advice.

Seems the article is mostly pic of alt-right Barbies, but, it is the Sun, after all. No topless, but then the alt-right does not appear to be particularly well-endowed, intellectually or otherwise.
