Like how was your day, how was your work," explained the makeup artist.She finished by explaining that partners need to "let each other fly" and be independent, while appreciating that "you're also better as a couple".Earlier in the programme, the topic of conversation turned to friendship fallouts.

sex doll he had mistaken for a drowned woman washed up on the beach.Chris Ford, 67, was looking for driftwood after a recent storm when he thought he'd found the dead body of a woman with all her "bits on show".But the retired photographer was relieved to find that it was a mutilated silicone female sex toy and quickly called his partner over to take pictures.The couple from Portland, Dorset, both left in hysterics speculating where it came from.Chris said: "It was a human-like figure but was too clean and too pretty - and it did not have a head."Apart from its lack of a face, it was very anatomically correct. So as soon as I got to her I knew it was a sex doll."I am always out collecting driftwood after storms so I fully expected to see a human body one day but never this.

pop-MMA.The main event of their latest show in Russia was an eventful showing between porn star Alexandra Piskun and controversial television personality Gogen Solntsen - and it lived up to the bizarre nature of the company.Pop-MMA began in the country in 2019, and consists of fights between non-professional athletes.Furthermore, most of the participants had never had the benefit of MMA coaching or any other fighting training. The apparent goal of the promotion is to give people from common professions the chance to test themselves inside a fighting ring or a cage.And unlike most MMA companies, fights are intentionally arranged between opponents of different genders and weight categories, with organisers thinking nothing of matching up fighters who produce vastly different results on the scales.The fights are posted on YouTube and are accompanied by press-conferences with no shortage of trash talking, while the name 'pop-MMA' derives from the Fight Club movie where ordinary citizens fought after dark in semi-legal underground clubs.Should we be seeing a bit more of pop-MMA? Let us know in the comments section.During the Piskun v Solntsen affair, the blonde porn star had her top torn off as the pair became embroiled in some unsavoury grappling on the floor, and it took outside interference to rip the pair apart.The action wasn't done there though.

Dancing On Ice star Liberty Poole looked sensational as she posed up a storm for her latest online snaps.The 22 year old, who has been impressing fans with her skating and sultry dance moves on Sunday nights, turned up the heat once again as she took to her Instagram to put on a rather leggy display.Wearing a short white mini skirt with a thigh split, the star flaunted her toned pins to her 1.5million Instagram followers.Liberty teamed the look with a red top and a blue varsity bomber jacket with white sleeves.

Loose Women.The TV star, 75, used the term as she and her fellow panellists on the ITV show were talking about ageing and their bodies.Janet was saying that, looking at her own body, she sometimes thought her feet looked a bit bony.Moving on to her legs, she said they didn't look exactly as they used to when she was younger but that they weren't "fat".The rest of the panel clammed up and Janet asked: "Am I not allowed to say that now?""No!" they replied.Janet then exclaimed that it was a "minefield" these days.The journalist is known for being outspoken and recently sparked a backlash by saying women were better able to cope with divorce than men.Janet made the remarks during a discussion on Loose Women about new research that suggested that men were often more emotionally attached in their marriages than women.The star said it might be easier for women to handle divorce as they were better at "multi-tasking" and that their lives had prepared them for it a bit more.Janet - who has been divorced four times herself - said: "So these are people in their 40s getting divorced. "By then women have gone through jobs, kids, they have put up with this bloke...

Angelique Jackson When the first trailer debuted for “Candyman” — director Nia DaCosta and producer Jordan Peele’s “spiritual sequel” to the 1992 horror classic — there was a great deal of buzz about the use of a slowed-down remix of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” alongside the original movie’s haunting score.But upon further reflection — the needle drop was an early hint at the way DaCosta and Peele’s take would examine deeper social themes.
