Yet this new collection of stunning photographs of the rich and well-connected \"doing attractive things\" in their favorite playgrounds has a new twist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The main character is pools, and everything that goes with them--magnificent, suntanned bodies; well-oiled skin; bikini-clad women; yachts; summer cocktails; sumptuous buffets; spectacular locations; and most of all: fun. \u003ci\u003ePoolside\u003c\/i\u003e is not so much a Who's Who of society, aristocracy, and celebrity--although C. Z. Guest, Lilly Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard, and many who have appeared in the previous books are here--as it is about leisure time and how the rich make use of it. This is a more intimate peek into very private lives, to which photographer Slim Aarons was given unprecedented access in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Also available from Slim Aarons: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlim Aarons: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlim Aarons: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOnce Upon a Time\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlim Aarons: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Place in the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlim Aarons: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Dolce Vita\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlim Aarons\u003c\/b\u003e (1916-2006) is regarded as one of the most influential magazine photographers of his generation.
