Following on from Bob Swipe's marvellous post - here's my favourite Debbie McGee model. I think that's what you call a hair-don't as opposed to a hair-do.
The scam promised access to the highly-lucrative Paris beauty market Police in Chile are asking Paris to extradite a French woman after a massive pyramid-selling scam in which thousands of people were conned.
People were persuaded to buy a powder which they could allegedly turn into "Magic Cheese", said to make skin look younger and to be highly valuable.
The powder, called Yo Flex and costing up to $500 (£270), turned out to be an almost-worthless food supplement.
More than 20,000 Peruvians and 6,000 Chileans were reportedly duped.
Some spent their life savings or borrowed money to take part.
According to the police in Santiago, the suspect, Madame Gilberte van Erpe, or Madame Gil as she has been dubbed by the press, told people that "Magic Cheese" was the latest fashion in France, where women used it as a skin cosmetic to fight the effects of ageing.

Looks like I did the right thing.
I don't think this is pertinent, but it is funny:
