Bathtub Arrival. With her small hands and feet, widely admired bosom and spikelike false eyelashes, Suzy has the look of a pouter pigeon. The twice-divorced and now unmarried Texan, whose real name is Aileen Mehle, stands out at any party. She never misses a thing, she boasts, because of her powers of total recall. "I have the fastest eye in the house." But she never takes what she sees very seriously. "Social ites," she says, "kid each other, their way of life, their friends; and I kid the whole setup...
