I was really surprised to find a lot of good advice and substance in this book. I'm equally surprised I finished it and even enjoyed it, but what do you expect from someone so fabulous that she said "everything you see, I owe to spaghetti!"

Sophia Loren extends generosity of wisdom: her luscious experience of living in sensuous feminine beauty proves invaluable. No reason to disregard her advice. The fashion tips outdated? Hmmm, not particularly, modern women often look terrible dismissing longstanding fashion standards. I thank Ms.Loren!!!!

I liked this book a lot, especially the second half. Some dated beauty tips but the advice she gives at the end about charm, tranquility, and age is timeless.
