Diana’s beauty secret
Fancy some beauty tips from former beauty queen Diana Hayden? She is to launch her book A Beautiful Truth in September and says it kept her engaged for the last two years. “I have put my two years of hard work and research into this book.

I think after Miss World, it is my book on which I have worked so hard on,” Diana told IANS in an interview. “Everything in this book is done by me, be it research or anything. The book is like an encyclopaedia for women, who will find information about make-up or body shape in it. So let me clarify that it is not only for models, but for every woman out there,” she added.
