The barbie doll injection

Not satisfied with fake tan, and sun beds, the plastic brigade is now flocking to have the tan jab.

That's right, you can now have an injection to make you look tanned, well actually 1o injections, you have to be injected at least 10 times before it works.

Melanotan is being advertised as a short cut to a 'safe' tan. How can injecting yourself with a illegally bought chemical be safe?? It has to be illegal for a reason.

It is true that the drug is found in small substances naturally in the body, but that does not mean it is safe to inject!

What's more you cannot even prove that it works! So £20 and ten injections later, you might just end up with blood poisoning and a septic arm, now that will look attractive!

I know sun beds are are bad idea, but this is surely worse!

Buy a bottle of St Tropez girls, I know £36 seems expensive in one go, but when you work out how many uses you get, it's like £2 a week (well more if you want to look really orange I guess).

Tip: Apply with a sock instead of a rubber glove, a more even tan will be achieved! :)

Here comes bridezilla

The perk of being a bride is to be the best dressed, most beautiful woman in the world for a day.

Without a doubt, the wedding dress is THE most important aspect of the wedding-definitely more important than being permanently attached to the man of your dreams-soon to be nightmares. 

And this is reflected by the tens of thousands of pounds women spend on 'the perfect dress', every woman wants an original, a designer label and something that will look fabulous on them, and only them.

But with the current financial climate, it seems women are cutting back on everything non essential, and sadly this seems to include dresses.

Marks and Spencers is currently selling a wedding dress for £15! Surely there's at least one 0 missing off that number, but no! £15!!! Apparently it is in an effort to clear out old stock (it has been marked down from its original £150) to try and get rid of it. This says a lot for the dress in question really doesn't it?

Indeed Natalie Theo of the Daily Mail said "the dress was not exactly oozing with style" and that the quality was debatable.

It also says even more about the budgets of the women flocking to buy this dress, according to Marks it sold out quickly and they had to replenish the stock!

The credit crunch really is a sad time for everyone, no bride really wants to get married in (shudder) off the rack.
