...rainbow of lipsticks and eye shadows. To prepare for her first interview with the president of Revlon, she visited a midtown Manhattan skin-care salon and underwent a one-hour facial that included a massage, a seaweed mask and a herbal-tea steaming. She topped off the treatment with a professional makeup job. "A session like that one can change your whole feeling about the world," says Raffety...
While Main Street Ms. America pays $2 for simple moisturizers and cleansers, the more affluent are willing to drop $235 on the complete La Prairie line of five Swiss-made "miracle" creams and lotions that are sold at some department stores. The $70 Treatment Cream contains live cells from sheep placenta, ostensibly to retard aging. Probably the most successful of the full lines is Estée Lauder's Clinique, consisting of seven products concocted with the help of dermatologists and priced from $6.50 to $7.50 each. In many department stores, the Clinique counter resembles a laboratory, where...
...Klinger's salons in Manhattan, Chicago, Beverly Hills and Bal Harbour, Fla., the $30 treatment is basically the same for anyone who walks through the door, but individual skin type determines which of Klinger's more than 300 cleansing creams, lubricants and masks will be used.

Pillinger staged this production as a "labor of love," but apparently his fixation upon the sound of the script blinded him to its potential for a spirited treatment.

The director's love of the play also led him to slight other important elements such as consistent character development, blocking and technical competence. The set, for instance, suggests that the company started out with some good ideas but didn't have the time or ability...
...evoking the composer's refreshing fairy-tale images. 'Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant' benefitted from luminous solo passages by the flute and clarinet and conjured a sensuous picture of Sleeping Beauty; the plaintive and delicate waltz Ravel wrote for Beauty and the Beast received a skillful treatment from the upper woodwinds and contrabassoon. But dynamic imbalances proved frustrating here as in the concerto. Too often the less important lines were simply not sufficiently subordinated; exquisitely played solo passages in the woodwinds in 'Laideronetter,' and for the violin and viola in 'Le jardin ferrique,' were scarcely audible...
