Angelina Jolie is too thin!
I watched the tourist on friday night, and I was constantly distracted by the fact that she is like a skeleton in a dress! I think she is gorgeous...but it made me sad to see her looking what I think can only be described as fragile. Have you seen it? Do you agree?

firming lotion?
Completely random question... Has anyone discovered a good cream to use to make your skin firmer? Ideally I would have liked my skin to shrink back and fit me nicely(if only), but some of it is a little loose, so I'm looking for some way of just making it a little bit better. Any suggestions? Thanks : )
