The 18-year-old stops only to look briefly in a mirror and smooth down her already well-coiffed, highlighted blond hair. Then she takes me to her room, where a Gateway computer and a Sony Vaio vie with her Laura Ashley bedspread set and wicker furnishings. "The Vaio is such a beautiful thing," she sighs. We go back downstairs and say hello to cockatoo Agidore and Katie?s older sister ? also blond and round...
