This was the question posed to me yesterday, when an email from Playboy Beauty poppied into my inbox. Was I a) a Holly-esque glamour girl with pink glossy lips, b) a Bridget-style beach babe with shimmery bronze cheeks, or c) a Kendra-type tomboy? Answer: um, none of the above. I do have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures is watching The Girls of the Playboy Mansion. But I’m pretty sure it’s not rubbing off on my beauty regimen. My fake tan collection is currently collecting cobwebs, for one. And as for the blonde - I’ve actually started going darker via some lowlights.

But I will admit this: I’ve recently been wondering what it would be like to have a bit more going on in the boob department. Not to Playboy proportions (which reminds me: my friend was recently in the Mansion interviewing the girls, when Kendra toppled over and literally bounced up and down on her breasts). But just a B cup would be nice to take out for a test-run.

Which may actually soon be possible. Some of you may have heard of Macrolane, a form of Restylane (you know, the stuff that plumps up lips and lines) that is currently being used overseas for a temporary boob job. Basically the cosmetic or plastic surgeon injects the hyaluronic acid (a non-animal synthetic form of the hydrating substance we have naturally in our bodies) into the breast, where it stays for up to a year, until it’s broken down and metabolised out of the system. It’s set for release in Australia some time next year.

So you know that question: which girl next door are you? Perhaps ask me again in twelve months’ time.
