...prowl the stores to find out why. At Bloomingdale's in Manhattan last week, a blue-jeaned young woman sat at the counter being made up by a saleswoman while her husband watched eagerly. She hesitated at first when the bill for her face makeup?eye shadow, foundation, mascara, liners, lip pencils?came to $42. But she gave in and paid when her husband murmured, "You really look great, honey." Then he turned to the salesgirl and asked, "Isn't she pretty?" No one who saw the light in his eyes would have to ask what the woman...
Supermodel Margaux Hemingway can spot a good makeup job-even in the valley of the Amazon. "I'd rather be made up with this than with mascara and all," she joked about the berry paint used by the local Makiritare Indians. Margaux and her father Jack Hemingway, eldest son of Ernest and an ex-stockbroker, spent 15 days in Venezuela to co-star in an upcoming ABC documentary about the people and wildlife in the jungle.

...wooden-slat love seats hung by chains from the ceiling, planters full of chrysanthemums, floor-to-ceiling mirrors and South American fishing baskets.

Traditionally in cinema such mirror shots lay bare the unconscious bourgeois fantasies of the proletariat. Fassbinder understands this and makes exceptional use of the image to emphasize his belief that "All classes betray their own character...
Besides, the show is starting. Usherettes in mascara and Shalimar sell programs and herd the audience into the theater. Most of these socialites' names can be found under "publicity" in the back of this 71-page PR job, accompanied by a picture--in true Freshman Register style. The lights go down, a spot comes up on stage and Blake blunders into it like an oversized moth. He "doesn't quite know what to say," but the producers, practiced in this sort of thing, can say it all. Having been expertly guided through his performance, the star of Baretta stumbles offstage...
