Two little old ladies, Gladys & Evelyn, were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall where a flower show was in progress. The short one, Gladys, leaned over and said, 'Life is so boring. We never have any fun anymore. For $10.00 I'd take my clothes off and streak through that stupid, boring flower show! ''You're on!' said Evelyn, holding up a $10.00 bill. So Gladys slowly fumbled her way out of her clothes. She grabbed a dried flower from a nearby display and held it between her teeth. Then, completely naked, streaked (as fast as an...

Bees are becoming buzz-worthy when it comes to smoothing out wrinkles. Bee venom in creams and lotions promises to fool the skin into thinking it’s been stung. The jury is still out on whether bee venom works, but using it could be dangerous for the two million Americans allergic to insect stings. Tanya Phillips takes great pains not to feel the pain of getting stung by her honey bees. "Bees don't like smoke, so this keeps them away from us," said Phillips as she squeezed a handheld smoker. Deep in southern Travis County the master beekeeper knows if she stays...

LONDON: Botox injections can lead to depression, a new study has warned. The jabs help you get rid of wrinkles by partially freezing muscles but scientists have found that they also stop people from being able to express their feelings visually. That leads to them keeping emotions bottled up inside and perceiving the world in a negative way. "Suppressing negative emotions is something we do every day to be polite," the Sun quoted Dr Judith Grub, who led the research in Holland, as saying. "However, my research shows that paralysing muscles that help you to express emotion leads to internalising...

Water is touted by many as the world's healthiest drink. Some call it the secret to losing weight; others say it can be cure-all for things like dry skin, hair and nails, but one doctor says drinking bottled water could actually be like smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. According to D.C. dermatologist Dr. Marilyn Berzin, dozens of women have come in puzzled by lines and wrinkles around their lips. It's a condition termed "smoker's lips" because of the similar pattern of wrinkles found on the faces of long-term, heavy smokers. But many of the women have never smoked...

The Rolling Stones, well into their fifth decade of playing rock 'n' roll, on Tuesday announced a global tour that will stretch into next year and laughed off suggestions that it would be a farewell tour.

People who have Botox injections to get rid of lines and to make them look younger may develop new wrinkles in difference places, doctors said yesterday. Skin specialists believe that the body tries to recreate the facial expressions that the treatment has smoothed out. As a result, new wrinkles arise in mobile areas of the face, adjacent to the frozen parts that have been injected with Botox. "What can happen is that other, nearby muscles compensate - this can have the effect of actually creating new wrinkles," said Dr David Becker, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical...
