Do you like to see foreign words italicised, in English text? Specifically:

Ash was the jeunesse dorée, a celebrity in his own right.

or:

Ash was the jeunesse dorée, a celebrity in his own right.

[And don't no smartass tell me it should be "la jeunesse dorée", 'k? This is still English, and our articles remain our own. Which is also why I insist on "the hoi-polloi", but that's a whole nother argument.]

Yes to the italics. I don't care either way about the articles. Like underware, they're best not noticed.
