Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool.<br><br>Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.<br></div> 979256 book 2005 My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands total:6020|5:1760|4:2167|3:1453|2:486|1:154| 6020 22953 8951 1610 2 7 false false Tue Feb 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 19:57:23 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 08:13:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 8 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 21:58:33 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 22:00:43 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 8 false false Tue Jun 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 07:34:30 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 07:39:30 -0700 2008
