Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic. ~Rosalind Russell


















PIM: Hi Michelle Thank you for gracing PIM.........Tell us more about yourself?
michelle: Hey PIM, Thank you for giving me this opportunity!! Im a small town girl, grew up in the Eastern Cape in Queenstown.
Have been living in Joburg for about 5years now, and enjoying it alot ! There are definitely alot more opportunities here.
Are you a girl next door or Adrenaline junky?
Im a bit of both i would say! ;-)

Tell us more about your modelling. How did it start?
My interest in modelling started about 3years ago, when i received a modelling card at my local shopping mall. Although im still fairly knew in the industry and still building a name for myself, i love all the aspects of modelling!

PIM is honored to have you! Your ambitions and goals as a model? Where do you see yourself in ten years time?
Thank you PIM, its a honor to be here! I have so much i still want to do and want to achieve. In ten years time i would like to have my own business, but i will take the path that leads me. Modelling wise i would like to have made a name for myself and hope to represent some awesome clothing ranges and products. This is every models dream!

What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?
What i love about modelling is the people you get to meet. And also the fun you have on set. Love the satisfaction you get when you create that picture that just speaks a thousand words!
Have only good thoughts about modelling. Theres nothing at this stage that i don't like about it.

So you are part of the FHM MODELS 2011 Top 100. Tell us more about being in the top 100 in SA.
How do you fancy your chances.I see theres some tough competition there?
Wow there is definitely some tough competition, the girls are all stunning! Its such a great honor to be in the top 100. I think my chances are good, It does all depend on your fanbase, friends and family and how much they support you. People are good to me and i appreciate all the kind words and support im getting!

So suppose you win FHM MODELS Michelle, you are probably on a stringent fitnes regime. What are you doing to maintain that hot bod?
I gym 5 times a week and then also do Fire dancing once a week! I try and keep as fit as possible, to keep my mind fresh and body full of energy! ;-)

Is there any one you would like to meet right now?
mmmmh....Angelina Jolie! Shes a hottie. hehe Just kidding it would probably be the well known fashion photographer Andrea Klarin.

And If you were invisible for a day? Where would you wanna be?
Would love to be in Greece!

Back to the FHM models. So is it tough. What have you been doing in terms of getting them votes. Give us a brief itenary on what you have to do to compete in this comp 100%. Are you doing alot of shoots, promotions etc?
It is a tough competition, i would say the exposure FHM itself gives you is a little bit less than what it used to be in the past years. As they no longer put the top 100 in the magazine. The top 100 is only advertised via web. I'm busy doing quite a few shoots and other events in between. Am also in the process of organizing a support event. You really have to go all out in this comp and its really all about how hard you work at it to get to the top! We can only hope and pray that the hard work pays off in the end. Will keep you guys posted with regards to events! ;-)

How would you enice readers to vote for you Michelle?

My Dream shoot! Definitely a beach shoot somewhere on a exotic island like Mykonos in Greece (absolutely love that place, although ive never been there) in sexy bikinis!

 Oh and what would you regard as the sexiest part of your body and then a guys?
 My eyes... and on a man, definitely the v lines on his stomach. And also his eyes!

Where can we find you on a typical weekend if you not doing a modeling shoot?
Out with friends braaing and chilling!

What was the most bizarre and funny come on line that a guy has used on you?
mmmmh... "You are going to be the mother of my children one day"

If you were a tour operator and had to entice people from around the World to visit South Africa , JHB Town in particular. How would you promote it?
Our Country has some of the most beautiful scenic views in the world! If you want to see some good African Culture , Johannesburg is definitely the place to visit . Promoting it ... Once again.. pictures speak a thousand words.

THINGS YOU DIDNT KNOW BOTOX COULD DO

By: Tiffany Windhurst

Botox became a recognized household name several years ago, when it started being used to plump up wrinkles and fight the signs of aging.  A non-surgical procedure, the overwhelming popularity to the cosmetic applications of Botox revolutionized an entire industry.   Botox effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles and laugh lines, making it an ideal solution to temporarily reduce the look of aged skin.

But Botox has been in use for many decades, treating a wide variety of medical conditions.

The name Botox is actually a short form.  The proper name is Botulinum Toxin, and it's primarily a protein treatment.  A group of scientists uncovered it's properties in 1949, discovering that the protein in Botox blocks neuron-muscle transmission.  In short, it can relax muscles to control spasms.

In 1980, the original formulation was tweaked by Alan Scott, who then began using Botox to treat eye conditions such as crossed eyes and Blepharospasm.  The latter condition is symptomized by uncontrolled blinking of the eyes.  Administering Botox to freeze the muscles in the eyelid allows the patient to go up to two years with the blinking under control.  Botox is currently being administered to patients with Blepharospasm and Strabismus across the United Kingdom.

Due to the Botox protein's ability to freeze and relax spasmed muscles, it is widely used in muscle repair therapy.  By freezing the afflicted area, the patient is able to strengthen the damaged or weakened muscles through physiotherapy.  The use of Botox is key to increasing joint motion and controlling spasms while the patient is under rehabilitation.

Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome, as described above, is just one of the muscle related conditions that Botox can aid in treating.  It's also administered to women with Cervical Dystonis.  This is an extremely painful condition that often strikes woman after a physical trauma or after birthing complications.  Cervical Dystonis causes cervical muscle contractions, and the relaxing effect of Botox can temporarily offer relief by greatly reducing the contractions.

Last but not least, Botox can be used to treat people with a disorder called Hyperhidrosis.  This condition is marked by excessive and uncontrolled perspiration.  For those who suffer from this, one Botox injection can keep them dry for up to two whole years.
