Hi Lucy!


I really want to wear spaghetti strap blouses (like the one you’re wearing on the cover of Preview’s August issue), but the problem is I have big arms. I really want to make my arms smaller. I heard there’s a series of treatments to make the arms slender without having to undergo liposuction. But then, I’m not sure if this is effective. Do you know about this and do you have any idea how much it might cost? – Anna

I need help to enhance my thin body figure. It’s been my big problem since I was young. What can you suggest? – Angel 18 of Manila


Here are some fashion suggestions:

• Wear full skirts (balloon and bias).

• Wear loose blouses.

• Wear loose long blouses over tight skirts or pants.

• Eat.

• Accentuate your waist.

• Wear white to look wide.

The blackheads on my fiancée’s nose are becoming too obvious. So far, she’s had two facials done. How frequent should she go for a facial? Is it also advisable to clean the face every morning and evening starting with astringent/toner then a moisturizer?

Your thoughts on these would be much appreciated.

Outside of plastic surgery, there’s really not much that you can do. If it isn’t too bad, yes, there’s a very simple exercise that can help. With the back of your hand, slap the under chin steadily for 50 counts, working it up to 100. Do this every morning and evening. This will strengthen the chin muscles and keep it from drooping.

Perhaps a tube top would look nice on the beach with shorts. But not for going around the city. If you must use a tube top, wear a little shawl or jacket over it.

There is nothing wrong in trying to look good.
