[A Japanese sweets manufacturer is hoping to introduce one of its more unusual products onto the European market.
Eiwa Confectionery, one of the country's most popular confectioners, has created collagen marshmallows which, it claims, help to plump up your cheeks and lips.
The marshmallows, which are a recent addition to the growing army of so-called "functional foods", are currently available in blueberry, cherry and grapefruit flavours and are said to look and feel like traditional marshmallows.
According to Eiwa Confectionery, the sweets, which each contain 3,000 mg of collagen, have the same effect as a collagen injection but, at the equivalent of just 60 pence per packet, cost significantly less than the £200-plus price tag associated with the cosmetic procedure.
A company spokesman told the Scotsman that the product has so far been an "enormous success" in Japan and confirmed that the company hopes to export to the UK and elsewhere in Europe.
"We feel it will sell well in supermarkets or sweet shops, as it does in Japan. That is our ambition," he said.]

So bounty you like women with enhanced breasts but not lips?

That's grossly insulting! Why can't a woman make her own mind up? Why should she need a man to give her guidance?? Encouragement maybe but not guidance.
I hate to say it but whenever I've seen them together in interviews, I get the impression that caveman she is married to has her completely in his control.

Chapman, 43, was held on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm at their west London home on Friday morning and was taken to a police station for questioning.
"The woman did not wish to proceed with any allegation and the man was released without further action," Scotland Yard said in a statement.
Ash, 43, who starred in TV comedy "Men Behaving Badly", said there had been a "total misunderstanding". She told the Sun she hurt herself by falling out of bed during sex.
"We were making love and this happens -- how embarrassing is that?" she was quoted as saying. "I fractured one rib and I have tissue damage."
