London - Many women go to extreme lengths to hold off the negative effects of time and gravity.
But rather than resorting to surgery or exhausting fitness regimes, the solution could be much simpler.
According to TV presenter Mariella Frostrup, the way to keep your bust perky is to wear a bra in bed.
The 48-year-old, known for her husky voice, is the envy of many for her mature sex symbol looks.
Revealing her secret, the mother-of-two said: “The best piece of advice I got was from Paula Yates.
“I was moaning about my breasts and she said, ‘Never, ever have a breast job. Just wear a bra in bed’. That’s what I do. I haven’t taken it off for 15 years. So here I am Paula, wearing a bra in bed!”
She is in good company, as Marilyn Monroe is believed to have kept her 36D figure trim in the same way. The beauty tip came as BBC Radio 4 and Sky Arts host Miss Frostrup admitted to Easy Living magazine that she can find it hard to deal with ageing.
“My ambition is that I don’t succumb to the pressure of the beauty myth,” she said. “In my rational mind, the one thing you can’t do is be young forever. I sort of laugh about getting older. Of course, I sometimes look in the mirror and think, “Oh God, I can’t believe the jawline’s going, what next?’”
Miss Frostrup, mother to Molly, six, and Danny, five, also told of her fears the pressure to look good is damaging girls.
Her greatest challenge is to make sure Molly grows up to “be enormously confident about who she is as a person”. - Daily Mail
