Wixson quickly recovered and gave a thumbs-up to the audience. She finished the show in the same towering heels. 'I think the adrenaline kicked in and I just finished,' she said. 'I don't know how I did it.'
Wixson went to hospital the following morning. 'They wrapped my ankle and said that I couldn't take the bandages off for 10 days and that I had to ice it three times a day,' she told me a few days after the accident. 'It wasn't severe; I hyper-extended the ankle.'
Having been forced to cancel all her remaining appearances in Milan, she had flown to Paris where she stayed in her hotel room, resting and icing her ankle, and worrying that she might not recover in time for Paris Fashion Week.

Film
Paramount and 20th Century Fox — which holds international rights after bringing in Paramount to be domestic distributor when the film was sailing way over budget — will open the new 3D-converted Titanic on April 6, 2012. That’s just days before the 100th anniversary of the ship’s maiden launch on April 10, 1912.
“We didn’t want to release it on the day of the sinking, we wanted it to be about the ship itself, but obviously it sank,” said the film’s writer/director/co-producer/co-editor and all-around King of the World James Cameron, who explained that with the 100th anniversary of the fabled ship’s sailing the time was right not only for 3D but to bring the movie back for a new theatrical experience — even though it has been out in various video formats for years. “It has to do with the psychology of going to a theater. We make a committment to spend those two or three hours in a shared experience with others … and there is a whole generation that hasn’t seen it at all,” Cameron said, adding that in the modern world of cell phones, texting, emailing and other distractions, it is hard to get the full intended impact of a film like this at home.

Productivity
We’ve become so accustomed to doing something all of the time that we are losing the ability to think. A lack of activity is a gift but we treat it as a curse. We no longer identify thinking time as thinking time, we identify it as boredom, and this is a real tragedy.
If you want to sit down and play Angry Birds (or Trainyard – seriously, you should play Trainyard) then sit down and play Angry Birds. But don’t use Angry Birds or whatever else you can think of to occupy your mind when it might otherwise be accomplishing something.

I’m a big believer in boredom. Boredom allows one to indulge in curiosity and out of curiosity comes everything. —Steve Jobs

I’ve been financially independent from the age of 15.
I get called an ‘It-girl’ all the time and I just don’t get it. As I understand it, an It-girl lives off her parents’ money and spends her time shopping, partying and generally being frivolous. That’s not me. I’ve been employed since I was a teenager and always had a strong work ethic. I’m not saying that modelling for a living is like working down a coal mine, but it doesn’t involve poncing around all day either.
Modelling is only my back-up career – I always wanted to become a forensic scientist.
I’ve always had a very analytical mind and science was my favourite subject at school. I’ve always been fascinated by crime dramas like Jonathan Creek. I loved the idea of using science and logic to fight crime. I haven’t completely ruled out the idea of doing something like that when I’m older.
More from Daisy at the Daily Mail.
Googling yourself is a terrible idea.
I used to do it all the time, but a year ago I made a rule that I would never again put my name in a search engine. Some people I know are obsessive about doing it. They read negative comments and it eats away at them.
