Now that her autopsy report has been released to the public, we can report on the type of drugs Anna Nicole Smith was on. Are you ready?

· Trichloroethanol (a sedative and hypnotic)

· Trichloroacetic acid (treatment of warts, including genital warts)

· Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (an antihistimine and sedative)

· Clonazepam (aka Klonopin; used for treating anxiety)

· Diazepam (muscle relaxant, used for treating anxiety, insomnia)

· Nordiazapam (sedative)

· Temazepam (a sedative and hypnotic)

· Oxazepam (a muscle relaxant and sedative)

· Lorazapam (anti-nausea, sedative, muscle relaxant)

THESE WERE ALL FOUND IN HER SYSTEM AT THE TIME OF DEATH.

Several days leaving up to her death on February 8, Smith began experiencing chills, vomiting, and her temperature rose to 105 degrees, Dr. Perper said at the press conference Monday. On the morning she passed away, she reported feeling weak, needed help getting to the bathroom, and was found unresponsive and unsconcious hours later.

Well I had yet another operation Monday 19th-guess I must be falling apart! But again I can't complain about the NHS.
The level of care was very good, the emphasis was on cleanliness, (thank the lord as I have an aversion to germs) & generally all round I don't have any complaints.
Sure it's the NHS so I make allowances but had I gone private I'd be some 3-4 thousand pounds worse off & I can't see what could be done that would have improved my stay.
Obviously I don't have a lot of dealings with the NHS or PCT's (Praise the Lord) so I can't comment on other areas/hospitals or other peoples experiences. My experiences are all good.

So as far as I'm concerned I will say yet again Thank you NHS. A woman in the same time as me found everything she could to moan about, "The foods crap"-I ate the same food & enjoyed it. "The toilets are dirty" - The toilets were cleaned regularly & it was only the patients that used them. "It's so bloody hot in here" -I thought it was comfortable, any cooler & it would have been too cold for her. "The bloody telly costs £3.80p a day!" -Well, there was two telly rooms on the ward & so she went on & on.Well some people will moan no matter what! Sure at times everyone cocks up & mistakes are made, from what I saw they did an admirable job with a skeletal staff. Perhaps if we didn't have to fork out £400 million in the next year for the war on terror we would have an NHS we could all be proud of! Mind you.... still they will moan. Just goes to show, you can't please everyone all the time!

“It was nice. There was a card that read, ‘Dear Mummy, love Daddy and Beatrice.’ We still have a friendship, it’s just the lawyers who are nasty. Not on my side, but on his side. There’s one woman. The lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, wants to drag it out to fill her pockets. She has said some mean things. She wants to make it as difficult as possible.”

“I still love him. He’s the father of my child. But you can love someone and not be right for each other and have to move on. It’s like a death. You marry someone because you are madly in love. We had a beautiful child after I’d had ectopic pregnancies and a miscarriage. We were together for seven years. We tried and tried and tried. But sometimes you have to say, ‘It’s not working.’”

So it got me thinking "where are they now & what are they doing?"

 Lisa and Louise Burns were real-life twin sisters who played the unfortunate victims of an earlier psychopathic caretaker of the Overlook Hotel. The bizarre appearance of the young girls and their disturbing British accent stamped them indelibly into the nightmares of countless generations of filmgoers.

How do you top one of the all-time great movie debuts in cinematic history? One way is by never making another movie. Neither girl apparently made another film or even appeared onscreen again except in a VH-1 “Where are They Now?” episode devoted to kids who appeared in horror films.

Instead, both girls went the academic route. Lisa has a degree in Literature, while her sister went on to become a microbiologist.

Photographing the female.

The female body has always been a thing of muse and interest to men since long ago. Apart from the obvious reasons relating to sexual attraction, the female body does represent the perfection nature has bestowed upon humans. The best forms of curiosity displayed by men centuries back are the various paintings of women that adorn the walls of great museums all over the world. Mona Lisa is just an example. In this modern age, it is the still camera that has replaced the brush.

What is female photography?

As the name suggests, the term ‘female photography‘ are the photos taken of the female form in various poses. It doesn’t necessarily always relate to nude photography. Female form photography has been in existence since very long ago and in fact, you have special categories of female form photographers who specialize in this art form and have established practices.

Why female photography?

As mentioned before, female photography is an evergreen topic of interest for men mostly. But just why is it so popular even after so many centuries?? By now, it seems almost all poses and art expressions of a woman have been captured by the camera. However, it is still in vogue! These are the probable reasons for the sustenance of the female form photography:

- A woman’s body has been a symbol of reverence for men. A woman has always stood for beauty, truth and purity beyond the reach of men. Capturing those delicate moments in a single expression creates ripples in the photography market.
- The next obvious reason for the added interest is the physical attraction that men have for women. Female anatomy photography is a definite yes for them.
- Last but not least is money. Female photography fetches lots of money. Photographers have been known to become wealthy quickly in this arena. As a result, female nude photographs are always in demand.

Some female photography tips

Clothes on or no clothes, females have always been a favorite subject of photography. However, it takes talent and perseverance to get the exact expression that would make your photos world famous. If you need some tips about female form photography, then given below are few start ups that would hopefully help you along.

- Find the right female for your photograph!

Getting a subject for your photograph is a tough job for any photographer - especially if your aim is to take intimate photographs. However, if it is simply facial expressions that matter, then even your mother, daughter, wife or sister would do. It is the expression you want right? I’m sure it would be apparent, that if it involves some degree of nudity, then it is better you hire a professional model who would be more comfortable posing.

- Background for stills

The background needs special attention when it comes to photographing female forms. Viewers usually relate better to a serene setting that matches her delicate lines. Usually, the studio is the best place to do the shoot as you can adjust your settings and be in control of lighting. If outdoor shooting is your interest, then you’ll need to be prepared with equipment for highlighting contrasts etc. Hint: A darker background gives better clarity to the female form.

- Lights, Camera, and click….

The lighting is of paramount vitality if you want your images to be perfect. It is always better to have the lighting focused on the female either from behind or the sides. Directly on the face would have two disadvantages; the light on the face would not capture the perfect expression which angled lighting or background lighting would provide. Moreover, light on the face would make any one uncomfortable and promote squinting!

- Stay away from her!

When you are shooting your female model, make sure you are away from her!! Use a variety of lenses. Avoid moving in too close when you are capturing the most detailed moments of her face, keeping some distance will help immensely. It would make her feel comfortable and result in better and more diversified expressions.

Female form photography gives you immense scope to show off the talent that you have as a photographer. Well, they say “There is a woman behind every man’s success”. This cliché can’t be more appropriate than in this sector of photography!!

If you're over 18 & seriously want to become a Glamour Model, then below is a link to view a list of reputable agencies here in the UK. Just because you can't fint an Agency on the list below does not mean they are not to be trusted, but the ones listed have a proven track record.

Rebecca: Sun Journalist
MODEL MANAGEMENT UK, Swansea, £179

AN industrial estate in Swansea is the last place you’d expect to find stardom.

But dozens of hopefuls — ranging from glam blondes to mums with pretty toddlers — turned up to audition as models and extras at a business park hotel after seeing adverts in local newspapers.

Posing as a wannabe, I joined the queue. After an hour wait, I was called for an interview by a woman called Sam. She took a Polaroid of my face and said it was the best she’d taken that day.

After lots of flattery, she said: “We could definitely get you photographic modelling work, even catwalk.” The ads promised a free photoshoot but Sam said that was only after they took me on — they needed £179 up front.

I agreed and she whipped out a credit card machine. Then I was whisked off for my “photoshoot” — six cheesy snaps. In less than five minutes, it was over.

A month on, I’ve heard nothing and have received no pictures.

MOST girls have dreamed of sashaying down a catwalk.

But pushy modelling agencies who demand upfront fees are cashing in on these fantasies.

A recent survey of aspiring models found that, 12 months after handing over their cash, 90 per cent were unhappy with the agencies they had signed to.

Most of them were impressionable young girls and last week the Department of Trade and Industry announced they were considering a ban on rogue agents taking upfront fees on false promises of fame. But action could take years. We sent a magazine model, a former commercial model and a journalist to investigate. Here CHARLEE LYNN, LAURA STOTT and REBECCA LEY reveal agencies that promise to make you a star . . . at a price.

Charlee: Magazine Model
BNC MANAGEMENT, London, £290

Charlee Lynn took photos that were good enough to get her shoots for magazines including FHM and Love It, high-profile advertising jobs and even a role in a Sugababes music video.

But they weren’t good enough for the BNC Management modelling agency.

They said they needed to take their own photos, which would cost the model £290 — and demanded a £140 deposit in CASH.

We sent Charlee to the London agency with the same photos that she has used to secure scores of jobs.

The company’s agent told her they wouldn’t be able to get her any work at all with them.

Instead, the model — whose advertising work includes campaigns for Triumph and Figleaves lingerie, PC World and Sony — was told she needed to pay for a new portfolio costing at least £290 before the agency would represent her.

BNC told Charlee they could book her in for a photoshoot with a company called Spot Studios — but she would have to pay a deposit of £140 immediately. When Charlee asked if she could pay on her credit card, she was told they would only take cash because the Visa machine was broken and it was taking a lot of time to replace it.

During her appointment, Charlee saw at least three other aspiring models leave their interviews and go straight to a nearby cash machine to get money.

NOTE: The Spot studios is on Kingsland Road, East London and carries out work for Bari Carr of BNC Management. We would like to make it clear it should NOT be confused with Spot Studios Ltd, which is the licensed and legally registered name of photography studios in Canonbury Yard, London.

BARI CARR OF BNC MANAGEMENT SAID: “I don’t tell anyone to buy a portfolio — I tell them what photographs I want to use.

“I give them a choice to get the photos I prefer using, or alternatively they can go away.

“Just because she’s a professional model doesn’t mean you can’t have bad photos.”

How To Find A Genuine Agent

ROGUE firms should not put off modelling hopefuls from chasing their dreams — but there are a few golden rules to avoid being ripped off.

Here Lindsey Baldock, head booker at Nevs — one of the UK’s top modelling agencies — gives her best tips:

ONLY DEAL WITH REGISTERED AGENCIES. It is easy to find agencies registered with the Association of Model Agents.

The AMA are a professional trade organisation who regulate the modelling industry. They also produce a list of the names and addresses of genuine agencies. To get a copy, call 09068 517 644 (calls cost 60p per minute from BT landlines) or send a stamped self-addressed envelope to AMA, 11-29 Fashion St, London E1 6PX.

SEND IN YOUR OWN PHOTOS.

1. Email or post some pictures to each agency — and they can be your own home snaps.

2. Keep your look natural and include one head shot and one full-length photo.

3. Also include your age, height and measurements. If you have potential they’ll ask you to go and see them.

4. Or check if they have a call-in time for new faces and just go in.

DO NOT HAND OVER ANY MONEY. Never spend money on so called “professional portfolios” before the agency have found you work — this is a total waste of money.

Experienced bookers only need to see the person in a holiday snap to know if she or he has the potential to make a model. When they ask a professional photographer to take pictures for your portfolio, there will be a charge for the prints — but a genuine agency will never ask you for the money upfront.

You will only be charged after you have been paid for modelling work, and the cost will be deducted from those earnings. If the agency do take you on, you’ll be asked to fill out a joining form — and there should be no charge at this stage either.
