t32.THE MOST ELEGANT, THE BEST AND THE WORST DRESSED STARS IN AMERICA. "You have one minute to impress, 30 seconds to catch the moment and just 3 seconds to make a lasting impression." Once, wrote Maximillien de Lafayette in his book  on world protocol and etiquette. And how you can you impress by catching the moment in less than 3 seconds without saying a word? Simple: Dress to kill. Dress for Success! Be Elegant and Refined. Elegance is the key.  Remember, nowadays stars don't create fashion anymore as did the femmes fatales of the golden era of Hollywood, thanks to Valentino.. LA FEMME MAGAZINE

18.FABULOUS TIMES, PLACES AND PEOPLE. BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. GAY PARIS IN THE 20s and 30s: Background, People, Places, Personalities, Hospitality, Restaurants, Food, Wine, Pleasure, Style, Fashion, Arts, Poetry, Music and Adventure. According to Maximillien de Lafayette. Mon Dieu! To be and live in Paris during "Les annees folles", between the end of  1917 and 1934, especially if you were an eccentric artist, an intellectual adventurer, a frou-frou femme fatale, a genius or an independently wealthy American, willing to spend a lot of money on arts, dating and women. Ask Madonna, Paulette Attie, Penelope de Vassy and Louise de Chambertin. Really "real" America's la crème de la crème was there. The "real" American high society, the privileged class, the snobs (Although it was too early for the Americans to know how to be a snob), les bourgeois,  wealth filthy characters, the hustlers with a style, the scandalous adventurous women, the schmoozer and the cruisers, the handsome gigolos, the champagne, the caviar, the kisses and the misses, sex, the drama and all the "chic" pleasures of the era. Hemingway was here. Paramour Stein too. Why Paris - what made everybody want to come here and create, and drink, and dance, and paint, and write stories or invent them? Women? obnoxious, over-cultured and over-sophisticated Frenchmen? Bubbly champagne? Sinfully good wine? Nice plat de fromage? A nostalgia? A fantasy? A new social, political and artistic era? A modern Parisian revolution? Yes! Yes! All of the above! WORLD HOSPITALITY MAGAZINE

SOCIETY AND LIFESTYLE: BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. Hottest and Most Talented Women of the Year. We will always talk about the famous and the rich. Wealth and money are status symbol. When you have money, people think that you know. When you lose your assets, social power and position, you become yesterday’s news. You might get lucky and be remembered here and there, but you are no more a headliner. You become like Australia. Everybody talks about Australia but nobody wants to visit Australia.

Yah, right!); 2-Why many foreigners look down on American men and women; 3-Why the majority of foreigners would never trust us again; 4-Why American women scare the hell out of them; 5-Why contemporary American art is falling apart in Europe, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East; 6-And why those bloody antagonistic foreigners keep on coming to America and suck our blood, eat our honey and drink our milk…Why Europeans and 99% of educated foreigners look down on American men and women who walk barefoot in their homes and drink straight up from the bottle?
