PS: You write in the book about your own breast augmentation and how shocked you are that some women are so cavalier about going under the knife . . .
DVT: That chapter is a very layered chapter. I wanted people to understand the varying points of view. [It's] hard for people who are in the spotlight to actually disclose their beauty secrets because they could get vilified in the press. What a shame it is we can't really share. Natural beauty is held in such high regard, whereas what you decide for yourself, or what you create, is put down. Whether it's wearing red lipstick or having some kind of procedure, we should all be able to respect each other's choices. I really love what Carmen Dell'Orefice wrote in that section of the book, because she really lays it out. She's this iconic beauty who's been at the top of her game, a supermodel, since the '50s and she's like, "Oh you think it's all natural, but the trick is to do it well." And then my friend Ali Mahdavi, who actually had surgery to have his nose made bigger. That's eccentric. If you're trying to look like everyone else, that's where I get concerned.
