Believe it or not I was no more than 6 feet away from Pamela Anderson on a pratically deserted beach, just me and her and appx 100 yards away her minders.
I remember, I was surprised how short she was , she was very pretty and had a lovely smile and a great bust.

Nips and tucks a snip on gift lists

LAST Christmas it was all about the digital camera. The year before that, it was the DVD player. Could this Christmas be the year of the breast implant?

Cosmetic surgery clinics across Queensland have been swamped by people buying their partners procedures in the lead-up to Christmas.

Demand has been so strong that one Gold Coast clinic has had to fly up extra surgeons from Sydney to cope.

Highly popular "gifts" include breast implants, liposuction, penis enlargements and nose reconstructions.

Botox treatments have also been popular as the Christmas party season swings into gear.

Popular television shows such as Nip/Tuck and Extreme Makeover are thought to be behind the boom.

Pamela Noon, who heads the Cosmetic Surgery Report clinic on the Gold Coast, said the number of people having surgery at her clinic had doubled in the past few months.

"We would normally do about 20 or 30 major procedures a month on the Gold Coast, but in October we did around 50," Ms Noon said.

"It's like that all over the place. There could be 20 clinics in Queensland, so multiply that out and that's a lot of cosmetic surgery being done at the moment."

A thriving economy and healthy property market are also thought to be factors in the trend.

Southport partners Georgia Hinds, 18, and her boyfriend Aaron Fahy, 26, are one couple among the many buying each other cosmetic surgery as gifts.

Mr Fahy is buying Ms Hinds a breast enlargement.

She is buying him a teeth-whitening treatment.
