Too hot for Auckland

A racy advertisement featuring former Miss Universe, Jennifer Hawkins, has been banned by Auckland Airport .

The Valentine's Day bra advertisement shows Hawkins in a red lace bra sucking the horn of a stuffed animal toy.

The headline asks: "horney?"

"The bottom line is the airport has a vast array of people of different nationalities, different ages, and our view was that it was just not in keeping with general airport image and brand," the airport's general manager retail Nick Forbes told NZPA.

Too much not a good thing

Soy can have a marginal impact in lowering breast and prostrate cancer, but soy supplements should be avoided by cancer patients says the NSW Cancer Council.

In a new report the Council details the known risks and benefits of soy and soy supplements and finds that despite lower rates of breast and prostrate cancer in Asian countries, it is unclear if this is associated with a higher soy intake.

Animal and lab test have confirmed that soy has an anti cancer affect, but only for breast and prostrate cancer and only a little, says the cancer council's new fact sheet released yesterday.

Poured into a gold swimsuit, Make Me A Supermodel winner Jen Hunter looks as if this outfit was custom-made for her.

But the one-piece triggered a furious row about stick-thin models when her rival finalist Marianne Berglund appeared painfully underweight in the same attire.

Appearing here for the first time in the outfit which sparked the debate about size zero models, Miss Hunter - who was criticised on the show for being too fat - said: "This is what a real woman should look like.

Is that a gun in your pocket ?Size really does count, just ask Australian underwear maker AussieBum which has just launched the "Wonderjock" for men who want to look bigger.

Since the launch seven days ago, AussieBum says it has sold 50,000 pairs of "Wonderjock", mostly on its Web site www.aussiebum.com and a handful of stores around the world.

"The design of the underwear, separates and lifts. The fabric cup protrudes everything out in front instead of down towards the ground," said "Wonderjock" designer Sean Ashby.

"There is no padding, rings or strings," said Ashby, a co-founder of the Internet-based AussieBum firm

IN a striking example of cyber revenge a salacious email inviting a female lawyer to no-strings sex has spread like wildfire to countless inboxes worldwide. The email was penned by law clerk Craig Dale, and sent last week to female lawyer Azadeh Bashari. They work for separate law firms in New Zealand and it is unclear how they met. "At the end of the day we are both really busy and don't have time for anything else but a bit of good-hearted action," Dale wrote in the email. "In terms of the 'relationship' I was never looking for anything long term, more like 'friends with benefits' ... Really I thought you were hot and was sure you'd be a rocket in the sack, which I think you would be." Disgusted by Dale's advances, Bashari proceeded to forward the email to her "single friends", using the subject line "LOSER Alert".

This is not good for your healthAstronauts offering etiquette lessons to space tourists have warned them to keep their libidos firmly on the ground, as sex in space could seriously jeopardize missions.

At the International Symposium for Personal Spaceflight in Las Cruces, New Mexico, US, former shuttle astronaut Tom Jones said over queries whether sex in space missions was permissible, that he would “like to leave that for the commercial sector” as “out-of-this-world sex could jeopardize missions”.

At the summit astronauts and space doctors gave prospective space tourists advice ranging from the serious, like not looking directly at the Sun, to the not so serious, not hogging prime viewing space at the windows.

Astronauts said since the tourists will not be from among the highly trained, highly accomplished astronaut corps, but average civilians, they needed to learn the basics of space travel.
