This is one book no woman who’s gonna get naked or who loves being naked and showing off should be without! It’s chock-full of tips that really work. I don’t think the authors left anything out and I especially liked how they handled taming the “lower 40.” The illustrations by Barbara McGregor are so sexy and cute. I recommend this book to all women who want to know how strippers look so damn good and how to look good themselves when they peel it off. Believe me, you’ll use these tips for a lifetime! This book is well-written and worth a lot more than the price.

How many people, male or female, really feel good when we’re naked? The authors of this little handbook advise us to “Flaunt It”! After all, we’ve all got the same hangups about vulnerability, aging, shame, lack of self-esteem. This book has a lot of tips, many of them from actual strippers, about how to put your best foot forward from a nude perspective. I liked the chapter about what to do when you have to shed your clothes and uh, oh, you just remembered last night you got a hickey. How to hide it? There’s a great chapter about strip poker, with lots of advice about what to take off first.
The women who wrote this book are regular Joes who go to the experts when things get rough. For example, say you’re one of those unfortunates who have what they call “buttthigh syndrome,” that’s what happens when onlookers can find “no real distinction between your ass and yout thighs,” then what you do is to apply bronzer underneath each cheek to give the illusion of some 3-D depth.
There’s also a lot of material about how to shave your pubic area. But most of all, what Jennifer and Leigh want to give you is confidence. Not all of us have great bodies, but most of us could learn something in the presentation department. The authors go over such common life-changing situations as going camping and suddenly you’re forced to skinny dip otherwise you’ll seem like a wet blanket. What to do? How to do it? You’ll never believe the kinds of things they say.
I also enjoyed finding out about the top five fantasy costumes worn by women who are trying to seduce some strangers. Nurse, schoolgirl, cheerleader, French maid, and “country girl.” And don’t forget, “candlelight is the sexiest form of lighting and luckily for us, the easiest, the cheapest, and the most readily available.” How true! — Except for the last part, I actually think more people have electricity than candles.

I had high hopes for this book, but not only is it short in length, it is even shorter in useful tips.
I did not learn one thing I did not already know about the art of sensual nudity, confidence, or makeup.
Even though I purchased this book directly from Amazon Direct, I still feel ripped off.
Might be titillating for a bunch of silly fillies or puerile boys, but for a professional model, stripper, or for an individual in the film industry, it’s a waste of paper.
But it’s good cash for the authors — preying upon the self consciousness of most females.
There is not a scrap of anything substantial or useful in this book.
It is for a gaggle of giggling geese at a bachelorette party — you know the type — the ones who diss women in the business and would be furious if their men, husbands, or significant others even went near a strip club.
I know most people will NOT find my insight useful because I don’t go along with the crowd and I express an alternate opinion.
I did not like the book at all, but I suppose readers can already ascertain as much.
