Product Description
Clinton Kelly won't just revamp your wardrobe -- he'll revamp your life! 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 crudite with your mouth wide open, nobody at the party will talk to you -- even if you can explain to them what crudite actually is. Of course, the keys to being better than everyone else aren't always so obvious. Don't worry; Clinton's here to help. - How do you make a flat butt look big and a big butt look flat?
- What's the one trick that will slim down your entire silhouette and make your ta-tas look va-va-voom?
- How do you eat an oyster without getting kicked out of the best restaurant in town?
- What's the grammatically correct form of "lay" to use when propositioning a Baldwin brother?
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. 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 Freakin' Fabulous.

Clinton is Freakin' Fabulous December 27, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this book. It's fun, witty and informative. Just when you thought you knew it all, he gives you the real 411. This book is priceless. Even though I missed him when he came through my town, I was lucky enough to get an autographed, personalized "book plate" from Clinton. He's great and his book is FABU!!!!!
Loved this book! December 21, 2008 Informative, well written and funny....any fan of TLC's What Not To Wear is going to want to purchase this book. Kudo's Clinton on a job well done!!
Freakin' good fun! December 19, 2008 Freakin' good fun!! I loved this book and laughed out loud throughout. The appeal of this book is more in the hilarious writing than in the actual content, though it is loaded with helpful advice on a wide variety of topics, from dressing to entertaining to decorating to etiquette and correct speech. It's chock-full of gorgeous color photos and contains numerous recipes (every one with a photo) that actually look do-able. The photos of actual (crazy) thank-you notes received by Kelly alone were worth the price of the book. Note to visitors to my house: I will be taking Clinton's advice and precariously placing marbles on my medicine cabinet shelves--just in case you're feeling nosy!
One of my favorite books! December 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have rachel zoe's, tim gunn's, nina garicia's, victoria beckham, carmindy and nick arrojo's books and clinton kelly's is by far the best. The book was both hilarious and informative and it is a great way to amp up your fabulousness. My favorite sections are how to eat and drink. If you plan on throwing a party, this book has the best, easiest hors'doevers and drink recipes. And if you are not planning a party, it will either inspire you to have one, or you will simply just enjoy the recipes at home to impress the family! The "how to dress," "how to speak,"and "how to behave" chapters are equally excellent.
Better than I thought! December 6, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was looking for the 'What Not to Wear' book, when I stumble upon this book. I found it amazing. it is full of really really good content, and besides learning how to dress, Clinton gives a lot of advice on how to make life a lot better.
I went throughout the whole book, and still check it out once in a while to look for information on entertaining, decorating and more. I recommend it 100%
