- <p> Her image belies her essence. Georgette Mosbacher may appear
- to be just a dye-job socialite, but she is in fact a woman of
- substance, a woman who has drawn solely on confidence and an
- unflappable will to rise above an impoverished upbringing. Her
- new book says so. In Feminine Force, Georgette, cosmetics impresario
- and wife of ex-Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher, instructs
- women--Cosmo-magazine style--on how they too can enrich
- their lives. Readers are encouraged to start their own businesses
- just the way Georgette did when she organized a leveraged buyout
- of a skin-care empire that manufactured a cream derived from
- the placenta of black mountain sheep. Other advice focuses on
- attracting the opposite sex. "What really interests men," writes
- the twice-divorced Georgette, "are these two little words, `yes,
- now.'" But men aren't an essential ingredient in the happiness
- pie. Included in her list of Feminine Force Principles is this
- affirmation: "I can buy my own crystal and china and feather
- my own nest--with or without a man."
