Product Description

Everyone has what it takes to be sexy. Let go of those inhibitions and insecurities and allow Carmen Electra take you from ho-hum to hot.

Millions have experienced Carmen Electra’s vivacious charm and drop-dead sex appeal from afar--from her roles on Baywatch and MTV’s Singled Out,  to her dozens of movie and television appearances, to her wildly popular Aerobic Striptease videos.  Now, in How to Be Sexy, she shows you that even if you weren’t born with an alluring aura (or killer curves), you can learn how to be super sexy.  

Carmen explains that sexiness starts with confidence, personality, and a willingness to laugh at yourself, so your inner glow will radiate outward and make the world sit up and take notice. Then she reveals the tricks of the trade for upgrading your appearance, with step-by-step instructions for hair styling and makeup application, and choosing fashion that flatters – including tips and techniques from some of the most talented stylists, makeup artists, and coaches in Hollywood.  Finally, she shows you how to strut your stuff with chapters on body language and the lost art of seduction.

Customer Reviews

Pretty good beauty talk
When I first started reading this book I was a little put off because I had a silly, first hand narration that seemed a litte forced and corny and faked. But after a while I was completely sold. I have to say I've always liked Carmen. Yes she's a groupie and a bimbo, but she still seems smart and funny and not at all pretentious. No "I'm a serious actress and my [...] are real" bs. Anyway, you get the impression it is actually her own words that are in the book and no ghostwriter and if you are into clothes and makeup and all that it's good stuff. I like the parts about self-esteem too. However there are a couple of chapters at the end that are rather silly, like stuff about trying to charm a guy through body language. I'd much rather have a book called Carmen Electra's Beauty and Health than this because it seems a litte sad and desperate and embarrasing to have in your bookcase. So there are a couple of parts that I think she should have skipped, and also there are a couple of thing I wish she had put in. I think a lot of girls would have been interested in a chapter about body maintance, what she eats and doesn't eat and exercise and how she manages to stay motivated. After all, Electras body is a large part of what makes her famous but she doesn't mention that at all. While I'm at it a bit more about actual sex and relationships wouldn't have hurt either. Overall I'd give it a 3. It's pretty good exept for the name and a few of the chapters and the fact that it's pretty slim. I read it in one sitting.

Finally, a useful beauty book....
I have been reading fashion magazines and Kevyn Aucoin books since my early teens. Now, whenever I buy a beauty book (other than the late Aucoin's) it seems to go over the same old stuff. And they always give the same tips, most of which I know aren't that great of tips anyways from experience. I usually end up getting a refund, so I was nervous about this one. But I love Carmen Electra and was obviously curious about what she had to say. I'm surprised at her honesty (some of her tips break traditional makeup rules, but in a good way!). The confidence sections are also very very insightful. She gives great tips that any woman could use in her daily life. The book has definintly taught me to own my confidence.

TRYING TO FIND A MAN....
I just bought this book today, and I am already so glad that I bought it. I am 28 years old, fixing to be 29 in a few days, and I am still single. So, while browsing, I came across this book thinking that learning a few NEW tricks to make myself even more sexier might not be a bad idea. I am already on Chapter 4, and Carmen has a great attitude toward body confidence, sexyiness, and great ideas about applying makeup and taking care of your skin. Plus, so far, I already am starting to feel better about myself. Her first suggestion is to stand upright and tall and command attention when you walk into a room. I am going to incorporate every idea of hers starting tomorrow that I have read so far. I am hoping that by incorporating some of her ideas into my life and sexy attitude, I will find the man of my dreams!!!! I defiantly recomment this book for all single women hoping to intice their mate or husband. Also, if you are a fan of Carment's, check out her Striptease videos. If you love to dance, and want to knock the socks off(plus a lot more) of your man, her videos are a must for your workout dvd collection.
