Class with the Countess: How to Live with Elegance and Flair

The glamorous star of Bravo's hit show The Real Housewives of New York City makes it easy to be elegant, with contemporary etiquette tips and a complete course in the art of sophisticated living Countess LuAnn de Lesseps knows firsthand that class is a state of mind, not a birthright. Raised in small-town Connecticut-half French Canadian, half Native American-she worked as a registered nurse before she started modeling. On her first trip to Europe, she was awed by the lifestyle of the Italians and stayed, eventually becoming a TV personality. Before long, she began a fairy-tale romance with Alexandre Count de Lesseps, of the Suez Canal dynasty, and married into a world of aristocrats. She learned during her time in Europe that panache comes from within- not from an antiquated manual. Now she shares her savvy advice and her inspiring story in Class with the Countess , including- ?Elegance can most certainly be acquired. ?All of life is a seduction. ?You don't have to be rich and famous to have an unforgettable presence. ?Being interested is what makes you interesting. ?An alluring woman makes everyone want to be near her. The twenty-first century's answer to Emily Post, the Countess gives a new generation of women an exuberant and incomparable guide to modern social graces.

VERY ELEGANT

The Countess has done a great job with manners and class. If you you have manners and treat people well, you will be considered classy and elegant. She does a fine job teaching this in the book.

A CHARMING READ!

I bought this book last week, and I must admit, I was not able to put it down! I found the Countess captivating to read and extremely forthright with her story of her rise to the top! Her openness in this book, makes her easier to relate to when you realize she was once at the level of most people and is not ashamed to state this. In fact in many ways throughout the book, she credits her upbringing with propelling her to her...

Right Perspective

I , as well, am a big fan of the reality show "The Real Housewives of NYC" and I wanted to read this book to fine-tune my knowledge on etiquette. I believe that proper etiquette does not mean that you are supposed to be an artifical stepford wife. The Countness has great tips on the "do's" and "don'ts" when it comes to parties, gatherings, in general... It is worth the read- She does mention her personal life story but that...

We love the book!

This is my first review and I HAD to write because of the shocking number of angry reviews. I feel if all the personal issues were put aside perhaps one could be open to enjoying this book. Now, I don't know her but I do know when someone is being unfairly attacked. On the other hand, the aforementioned reviewer could be correct about the negative reviews. Maybe, most of the negative reviews are to deceive potential buyers...
