THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE'S BEAUTY BOOK

Beauty Italian style consists of some de ultra luxe small talk about slimming (eat less) and keeping your face up (exercises, make-up, cosmetic surgery), separate bedrooms and insomnia, the care of the hair and the body, clothes or rather couture, and even astrology. It's nice to know that Elizabeth Taylor considers every wrinkle a part of her life and wants it to show, or that ""Even homeliness can take its revenge."" As for those beautiful people who gleam like zircons -- fashion editors, designers, models, the Gettys, Sophia Loren, Pucci and Gore Vidal -- their names drop with the tinkle of shiny pennies in the Fountain of Trevi.
