The Independent runs a Q&A with Vanity Fair party-fashion-society queen Elizabeth Saltzman: A common misperception of me is... "That my life is easy or perfect. People think I'm always happy and never have problems because I'm always smiling. But everyone has ups and downs." I wish that people would take more notice of... "The people around them. Not just friends but everybody. It's just common courtesy." God she is fascinating! [Independent]
