| Nothing comes between me and my Tummy Tuck Jeans
Even back when she was hanging out in unbuttoned shirts for those Calvin Klein jeans ads, I was frowning at my pouchy belly. And while many things have gotten better in the intervening 20-plus years, my stomach is not one of them. Of course, after Brooke had two kids in three years, she probably doesn't have that body anymore, either. NYDJ's Tummy Tuck Jeans are aimed at both kinds of women: those of you who used to have to-die-for flat tummies, and those of us who never did. They claim to flatten your stomach, shape your hips and lift your butt, all while being comfortable to wear. Frankly, that sounded like a fairy tale, so I was eager to test-drive a pair. After wearing them for several days over the past month with weekly washings, here are the results: How do they feel? They're really comfortable.
Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Goes Mainstream
Where plastic surgery used to be exclusively for the super-rich and Hollywood celebrities, it is now embraced by people from all walks of life. This trend is exemplified by the services offered at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery - the only plastic surgery center located at the nation's premier address for cosmetic surgery, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California. .
Quick trip to pretty
Six syringes sit between Stacy Rogers and a younger appearance as she climbs into a blue swivel chair under bright lights at the Simply Injectable Med Spa in north St. Petersburg. When she leaves two hours later, Botox starts to smooth out the wrinkles on her 31-year-old forehead and around her eyes, while two different skin fillers plump small creases around her mouth and nose. "It's so worth it," says Rogers, a Tampa television host and model staring at her slightly swollen face in the mirror. "I can tell right away it's going to be good." Medical spas that do cosmetic procedures without surgery like Simply Injectable, nestled in a shopping center on Ulmerton Road near a Starbucks, are fast becoming the new beauty houses of the 21st century. At least four medical spas opened in Pinellas County in the past year, including Belleair Bluff's Radiance Medspa, an Arizona franchise.
Gwen Stefani ponders future plastic surgery options
Although she finds the modern obsession with cosmetic surgery "bizarre", the Wind It Up singer has thought about getting some work done when she gets older. Gwen, 37, told Elle: "Each to their own. I enjoy a great surgery TV show as much as anyone - I watched a lot of those shows while I was pregnant! "But it's pretty bizarre that this is the stage where we're at - that you can place an order for how you're going to look. People take it pretty lightly, but it's a big deal. I've thought it over but I'm not at that stage yet." The pop star - who gave birth to son Kingston last May - has also confessed she found it incredibly tough touring and working while she was pregnant. Gwen - who is married to British rocker Gavin Rossdale - said: "It was weird being pregnant in a fishbowl situation, especially on days when you feel really fat and disgusting and not cute.
