Written by Princess Luciana Pignatelli (circa 1971) when she was 35 years old, the books language is written from a very fabulous insider point-of-view from a lady who traveled the globe and partied with royalty. Sophia Loren tells her: “Don’t change your nose — learn how to make up your eyes”.

On Hot Baths: “Hot baths should never contain water higher than pelvic level. Above all, the bosom must never soak in the tub. Hot water only drags it down, and no woman wants that. After a warm bath, aim a good blast of cold water on the bosom and thighs. They need it.”
(Tips & Tricks)
On Homosexual Facial: “The rage a few years ago with the chic Paris homosexuals is this: Take the white of one egg, a teaspoon of the best olive oil, beat, and apply for 20 minutes. Remove with hot face towel, lace trim optional.”
On Massages: Designer Emilio Pucci: “I swim and ski and I have a very strong nervous system, but when I’m tired, there is nothing like a half-hour massage. It is my drug. In Rome, I have two Filipino girls who come to the house. I would never be massaged by a man—I find it distasteful.”
