Princess Luciana’s Advice of the Day
From “Luciana Avedon’s Body Book,” (after she divorced the Prince and married her book
editor.) I have to say, she looks fantastic in all the photos - she’s in a white bikini, with her frosted blonde hair and tanned, somewhat oiled physique. Let’s turn to page 30:
“Isn’t Housework Exercise in Itself?”
Some housework may also be exercise, but not the kind that keeps you beautiful. Making beds never helped anyone’s inner thighs; washing dishes does not firm the behind.
Magazine articles that explain how housework can do marvels for your figure strike me as the ultimate con. It is bad enough to have to clean house and boring enough to exercise. Prologing both by combining them is strictly for Ms. Masochist. Furthermore, unless you keep the refrigerator door shut, all those pliés, jetés, and pas de deux you do with the mop wind up as extra pounds.
So, she’s basically saying what she says in “The Beautiful People’s Diet Book” - don’t eat and get someone else to do your cleaning. PL, you’ve done it again.
