Teen plastic surgery

Hi there, I'm looking for someone who had lipo/tummy tuck/some sort of plastic surgery as a teenager because they were bullied for being fat and are now in their early 20s and looking fab.

This is for a glossy newspaper supplement and is an urgent request!

Cheers,

Sarah

Inspirational Women!

Hi

Top Sante magazine is looking for case studies for a shoot on Monday 7th July.

We're featuring inspirational women who have all turned their lives around in some way thanks to a special relationship in their life. Two specific case studies we're after are as follows:

A woman with a new or long-term boyfriend or husband who has made her feel gorgeous for the first time in her life.

A woman with a child (aged 6 - 16) who for example, has shown her what's important in life and inspired her to get back on the dating scene and find love again.

Interviews and shoot with the case study and her partner or child will be in central London early next week.

Please let me know asap if you know of anyone who fits the bill - I'm on 0207 520 6591.

Many thanks!

I'm looking for two mums with a child aged between 12-15 years old. The first child case study needs to have sometimes worried about not fitting in at school or with their friends.

The second child case study needs to be have worried about something happening to a loved one ie they might get ill, die etc...

I need a picture of the mum and their child plus a short quote on how they dealt with their child's worry.

If you can help please can you contact me asap!

Children's Reading

Morning All,

I'm still looking for people to answer a couple of questions about their children's favourite stories - if you have (or recently had) pre-schoolers and can spare 2 mins to answer a quick survey, please do drop me an email. There's £100 in ELC vouchers up for grabs, so do pass this on to as many people as you can think of!

Thanks so much, Sally

Self sufficient families

I am writing a piece about how self-sufficient families are beating the credit crunch by growing their own food/generating their own power/going off grid/making their own clothes etc etc for a women's healthy lifestyle magazine. I am looking for case studies of families who haev taken the plunge and who are opting out of consumer living. If you have your own business that has come from self-sufficiency, I would of course give it a plug! My deadline is Wednesday.

Thanks

Amy

Real life with a twist

I am looking for real life stories with a twist - did your partner have an affair and it ended up being the best thing that ever happened to you? Did you have cosmetic surgery to feel more confident and attractive to your partner and you ended up leaving them or they left you? Have you been betrayed by your closest friend or a
member of your own family? Do you lead a secret life? If you have a story to tell, I want to hear from you. I will pay a percentage of the fee on publication for any stories that are featured. You would also have to be
willing to be photographed.

Thanks

Difficult subjects and children

I'm writing a piece for Jump parenting magazine about dealing with tricky subjects (such as death and the facts of life)  with young children - five or under. I'm looking for a short, general quote (just a sentence or two) from a psychologist, counsellor or similar.
