  It's Manhattan, on the coldest night of the year and six best friends are rushing to celebrate a festive evening Jessie, the hostess, is late for her own party. Sue Carol, a professional wacktress (waitress/actress) has left her unfaithful husband. Lisbeth, an ex-Vogue model, is battling her landlord . Nina, the spa owner is fleeing a vegetarian with 'a weird sexual organ'.They are all eager to see the guest of honor, who vanished after becoming pregnant by a glorious one nightstand. You conceived a child with a man you met on the street? accuses Martha, the power realtor. Is the gypsyish Claire, whose income is less than her phone bill, misguided or inspired? The debate rages.Who will win - the romantics or the realists? How can modern working women triumph in such trying times? While the cellphones chime and the biological clocks rewind, the friends enact a timeless ceremony. Witty, perceptive and thoroughly entertaining BEAUTIFUL BODIES is a dazzling comedy of manners.
