Book Reviews of How to Be SexyBook Review: Good Advice Summary: 4 Stars
I got this book mainly for the makeup tips, but found that it had some good girly advice. How to dress, flirt and have to confidence to carry it off.
Book Review: Great book to get the basics Summary: 5 Stars
Carmen lays out some of the basics when it comes to being sexy. Perhaps there are some things that we have picked up on or barely noticed. Carmen puts it into simple and direct terms. If you are pretty confident that you have the basics down than I would probably look for something of a more advanced level. I am a big fan of her striptease aerobics, I bought the whole set but I carry the basic striptease DVD with me on long trips.
Book Review: Not specific enough Summary: 2 Stars
Every time I see a "Carmen-type" woman, I always wonder how they know how to find the perfect shade lipgloss and the awesome tops and jeans. It's as if there is a secret "hot-girl" store. I was hoping Carmen's book would give specifics such as "buy Loreal lipgloss in Perfectly Peach". I understand what looks good on one person may not look good on another, but I bought the book hoping she would be specific about what worked for her. She is also short like me, so I was hoping she would talk specifically about what specific clothing and what lengths work for her. Basically, you could find the exact same advice in beauty magazines like Allure.
Book Review: Pretty good beauty talk Summary: 3 Stars
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.
