PLASTIC SURGERY
• Cindy Crawford, 43, on plastic surgery: “I haven’t done Botox for ten years … Because people have such expectations of what they are going to find when they see me, that brings added pressure to fight the aging process. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I think I’m holding together pretty good.” [Daily Mail UK]
• Plastic surgery is on the rise in Venezuela for an unlikely reason — the recession! People are reportedly spending more money on themselves to remain happy and positive during the financial crisis. [StyleList]
NAILS
• Lady Gaga’s manicurist Kimmie Kyees painted the China Glaze shade Liquid Leather on the singer’s fingers for the opening scene of the Bad Romance video, and covered nails with gold screens found at Jo-Ann Fabrics. She also used Alpine Snow Matte by O.P.I. [BellaSugar]
FRAGRANCE

MAKEUP
• For the next two weeks, Estée Lauder makeup artists are offering free “put your best face in cyberspace” makeovers at stores across America, which means they are doing makeovers — and taking pictures on-site — specifically so you can pretty up your Facebook or Match.com photos. The events kicked off in New York last week. Would you go? [Independent UK]
