Or do you go glam like the movie stars of days past? Rosemarie Macklin encourages ladies to \u2018make an entrance\u2019 with her custom-designed poolside attire. When we met, Rosemarie was glowing in a bright yellow short cover-up that seemed to be made of parachute silk.

At her conveniently located office in Beverly Hills, she can do whatever you need, from injectables and fillers to laser hair removal, electrolysis, and micro-needling.
