On my big night, I wore a black bustier gown with a very, very high slit by Vic Barba. With metal-heeled stilettos, wavy curls, smoky eyes and vintage crystal accessories, I felt sexy in mafia chic with heads turning all night. A huge part of the reaction was that it wasn’t a typical look.

Yes, summer is the time to let your hair down and find time to channel the Talitha Getty/ George Hamilton in you. With sand sprinkled hair, golden skin dewy from the sea mist and all the things a Calvin Klein ad tell you to feel, one must still be fight no matter what.

Throw in a question on moisturizing and you’ll get an off-hand remark on the merits of baby oil. Men’s skincare prowess was as meager as the carbohydrates on an Atkins diet; their vanity manifested through skin-squeezing and scab-peeling practices.
