They stayed true to character at the shoot. Says Monique Villonco, Town & Country editor-in-chief, Viel, who was first to arrive, pleaded, "No, no. No makeup, please. I'll be wearing my own clothes. My hair? Just blow-dried." Writes Villonco in her editor's note, "I felt very guilty having to put her through this.

"Cheery and wide-eyed Pinky examined and observed every detail of what went on around her with wonder and excitement, like a child in a doll's house. She marveled at the shoes and dresses that had been prepared for them to wear, and took full advantage of the rare celebrity treatment, being all giggly and self-deprecating at the same time.

"Ballsy just wanted to make it easy for everyone. She is sweet, strong, smart and bold. I don't know what was in her mind. She had committed to do this and she was going to enjoy the ride.

"Kris had informed us ahead of time that she could get to the shoot only at 7 o'clock, two hours later than the requested call time. She arrived, on the dot, followed by her personal assistant and a slew of 'bellhops' carrying suitcases and plastic bins filled with her own designer shoes and clothes. I thought she might be a bit of a problem, being a big star and all, but to our surprise she turned out to be an enthusiastic collaborator! She adores posing for the camera. She entertained and amused everyone on the set with her chatty nature. She doted on her sisters, but with a critical eye, making sure they looked picture-perfect. With that iconic sing-song voice, I can still hear her say, 'Ates, I'm so proud of you! You don't believe me, but look, now everyone can see your small waistlines!' Ballsy may be the head of this family, but we all knew who the boss was on this set."
