guests that don't feel beautiful and
take extreme measures to make
themselves feel beautiful. Gaston,
the only guest to be selected from the
west coast, traveled to New York in
early June for the taping of the show.

Gaston says, "I still keep in contact
with some of the show's assistants."
Gaston received V.I. P. treatment

while in New York, Gaston visited
Time Square, Central Park, the
Statue of Liberty and the studio
where the taping of David Letterman
Show takes place.
