And other stories from the stranger side of life
A Harley Street insider has said she has received multiple requests to inject botox into men’s intimate regions. Speaking to OK magazine, Lesley Reynolds – also known as The Queen of Harley Street – said: “We get asked to do ‘scotox’, where botox is injected into the scrotum to make it less wrinkly. All I can think is: ‘Why?’” She also said a client her asked to remove their little toe so they could fit into some expensive shoes. “That is ridiculous!” she said. “Why would anyone remove a toe just to get into a pair of shoes?”
