Interview

Lucie Jones on Wonderbra and Her Favourite Shops

Yesterday, I shared the first part of my chat with Lucie Jones at the 2010 Clothes Show Live.

Yesterday, I shared the first part of my chat with Lucie Jones at the 2010 Clothes Show Live. The former X Factor contestant is signed to Select models so here is the second part of my interview. In this part, she tells me about her Wonderbra campaign (which is pictured here), her favourite shops and who she thinks will win The X Factor this year.

Which brands are you going to be modeling for?
At the moment, I'm working with Wonderbra, just done their new campaign which was amazing. That's like something that Dita Von Teese does! They're a household name. I am a very lucky girl!

Which are you favourite shops?
I love All Saints and Topshop. All Saints for slouchy leathery stuff and Topshop for more trend driven pieces. I love French Connection. I think of them as the middle of High Street and high end, and I love so much of their stuff this season.

Botox

Botox, Unsurprisingly, May Cause Muscle Sag

If you're getting Botox or Dysport in your forehead, you could also be losing muscle in your arms or legs, leading to sag not unlike these adorable Shar Peis.

If you're getting Botox or Dysport in your forehead, you could also be losing muscle in your arms or legs, leading to sag not unlike these adorable Shar Peis. Doctors have long been aware that one of botulinum toxin's side effects is muscle wasting; after all, when you paralyze a muscle to keep it from wrinkling, it begins to weaken and atrophy very quickly.

Apparently new, however, are findings indicating that those effects aren't just limited to the injection site. It's not really shocking that this is the case; it seems hard to believe that a neurotoxin that spreads easily throughout muscles would stay put in one tiny section of your body, anyway. It's also not clear just how much of this wastage occurs in humans — the experiment in question was conducted on a small number of rabbits who received multiple injections over six months. Still, not exactly comforting news for injectables fans. Does this story put you off the 'tox, or would you still feel safe using it?
