"You see her across the room. She is an elegant creature with every hair in place, her clothes are just perfect. She seems confident and relaxed, cool and unflappable. There, you think, is a woman who feels secure...You can be the Woman Across the Room but you should do it for yourself and for the person you love. You should always be as beautiful as you can be so you will be desired. And isn't being desired a part of being fulfilled?"

I ran into this little treasure while strolling around my neighbourhood this past weekend, Diane von Furstenberg's "Book of Beauty: How to Become a More Attractive, Confident and Sensual Woman" from 1976. From how to dress, to what to eat and what to say at cocktail parties, this book has it all. Im surprised it didnt have a commentary about the OPEC oil crisis.
I also saw this.
Foolishly, I didnt buy it. Im kicking myself now.
