  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Clinton Kelly won't just revamp your wardrobe -- he'll revamp your life!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;P&gt;The huddled masses yearn to be fabulous, and finally Clinton Kelly is heeding their call. As co-host of TLC's popular What Not to Wear, he regularly transforms dumpy fashion disasters into traffic-stopping, get-an-instant-promotion, reignite-the-passion-in-that-relationship makeovers. But fabulousness doesn't stop with style. Let's face it: you might look good, but if you're chomping on that crudit&#233; with your mouth wide open, nobody at the party will talk to you -- even if you can explain to them what crudit&#233; actually is.&lt;P&gt;Of course, the keys to being better than everyone else aren't always so obvious. Don't worry; Clinton's here to help. &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;How do you make a flat butt look big and a big butt look flat?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;What's the one trick that will slim down your entire silhouette and make your ta-tas look va-va-voom?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;How do you eat an oyster without getting kicked out of the best restaurant in town?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;What's the grammatically correct form of &quot;lay&quot; to use when propositioning a Baldwin brother?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;P&gt;He'll teach you how to look your best, sound your smartest, use the manners your momma taught you, poach an egg, fix a perfect gin and tonic, throw the most popular parties (and top the guest list at other soirees), make your home the envy of your neighbors, and generally be the fabulous person you always knew you could be.&lt;P&gt;From the three style criteria he uses to dress any shape for any occasion, to his eloquent approach to appreciation, to his four must-memorize recipes for whipping up a last-minute meal, Clinton Kelly shares it all in &lt;I&gt;Freakin' Fabulous.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Hilarious! Some people are super stars at their professions and this guy is one of them. In my own mind I am freakin' fabulous so I don't feel the need to &quot;prove&quot; it to everyone else! He has some obvious good advice and some advice that is over the top. Enjoyable and fun!

    <body><![CDATA[I love Clinton Kelly from TLC's What Not to Wear, and his book is really fun. If you are a fan of the show, his personality really comes through in Freakin' Fabulous. The book is a weird mixture of style, entertaining, proper grammar, and recipes, but it made for a relaxing bedtime read. Check it ou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40143136">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book made me laugh so much! The best advise was &quot;Think like a Frenchie, act like a Yankee.&quot;  I laughed so hard that I cried!!! This is of course because I am French and know exacly what he is saying is true!  I was disappointed that some of the subjects didn't have more detail to them...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I learned that there are times when you can put your elbows on the dinner table...and that's about it.  I love Clinton Kelly on What Not to Wear, and his book has a great sense of humor and sarcastic funny tone, but it was a quick read without a lot of substance for me]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Clinton is the best. Hands down. <br/>The book wasn't necessarily the most applicable to my life but I loved reading it. And it took me about two hours. When you're not working, two hours of my time is worth it if a book can provide me a few good laughs.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think that Clinton Kelly is 10 times funnier when he writes than when he's on What Not To Wear.  He offers up his usual clothing advice, as well as tips on how to throw a party, roast a chicken and embrace your tears while chopping onions.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some parts, such as the &quot;How to Dress&quot; and &quot;how to Decorate&quot; sections were helpful, but Clinton comes off as someone who looks down upon those who do not always meet his standards of being fabulous. However, the graphic design and smart comments were very enjoyable.]]></body>
