1979, August The Houston Chronicle

It’s a stunningly beautiful day in the Palm Beaches, and as a flood of sunlight pours into the floor-to-ceiling windows at the Anushka Spa, Salon & Cosmedical Centre, you can’t help but ingest the crisp indulgence that is a beauty empire 40 years in the making. This year, we’ve taken a thorough journey through a wealth of press materials collected since 1974, and one particular story stood out from the rest. We just had to share it on our blog.

It’s August of 1979 and Anushka has recently opened up a new Cellulite Clinic in Houston, Texas. The Houston Chronicle fashion editor, Beverly Maurice, visits the clinic for a visit she won’t soon forget. Luckily, we won’t either. Step back in time with us through her story, re-articulated here:

“Stepping out of her limousine into the Park Avenue night, she was a slim column of crepe de chine afire with emerald eardrops that looked three feet long. Gold brocade gleamed from a black silk oriental coat. If such a picture of elegance knew anything about cellulite, she must be leading a double life”

“Ana Blau, the Authoritative Argentinean. She is the stern disciplinarian disguised in pale, delicate complexion. She may be Argentinean, but you know there is a Prussian hiding somewhere in her background, looking too cute in her slim blue silk pants, one shining strand of pearls, one Chanel bow holding the flawless coif.”

“Soon, there were women having mint tea on the Louie XIV sofa and discussing how they wanted to reshape mind and body. Because, you really can’t reshape one without the other, as she points out.”

It would be great if all journalists still wrote in this fashion: an aspirational love story, painting the picture of a soon-to-be-beauty empress, gallivanting in the heart of Manhattan. What she didn’t mention was Anushka’s inner beauty, which also hasn’t seemed to fade over time. Both then and now, she epitomizes care, consideration, love and interest in her family, friends and clients. We honor her today, then and always. Happy 40th Anushka.
