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 crudité with your mouth wide open, nobody at the party will talk to you -- even if you can explain to them what crudité 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.

2 out of 5 stars Not Freakin', just so-so   December 4, 2008
Clinton, Clinton, Clinton. I love you so, but was this book necessary? Do people really need to know how to eat an asparagus properly? Do we really need to see a 8 x 10 glossy of two lovers french-kissing?

This book was a huge disappointment for me. First, I love Clinton. He has style and she shares that with the rest of the world. But this stuff seems so basic that it really scares me that people out there don't already know how to eat, how to talk, etc. Another disappointment was the sexual tone of the book. Why does everything have to include sex? We are bombarded with it everywhere we look... do we really want our kids growing up with this emphasis on sex? (Stepping off my soapbox now.)

I am actually returning this book because it was such a waste of money and the earth's resources, and I'd rather spend my dough on something useful. I do have to say that I'm giving it two stars because the recipe section was actually pretty good. Good, but not great enough for me to want to keep it. Especially since I have a 10-year-old daughter who is starting to notice fashion and really would love to get her mitts on a book that talks about how to be fabulous. The people tounging each other was a deal-breaker here.

Sorry, Clinton!

This book has a lot of good stuff in it. Some people have the common sense to dress/act/talk/decorate like he suggests and then others don't. However, there are a lot of basics here. Clinton puts his awesome spin on it with humor and flair. I can just "hear" him saying this stuff! It's very entertaining and I am using it as a coffee table book now!

Clinton writes very informative with a humorous side. Will refer to this book many times over the years.


5 out of 5 stars Freakin' Fab is Fun Freethink for Clinton   November 27, 2008
I was surprised by how much I love this book. I agree with a previous reviewer about the food tips and recipies that were included. I'm looking forward to trying them out on friends. It's a little bit of everything. I'd love to go to a part that Clinton throws.

Fun, Fabulous read!

Such a fun book!

Clinton is great at telling you what is a no-no and how to be fabulous.

Everything is in this book from how to make a great Martini to tuna tartar.
Love the Swedish Meatballs story!

There's a great section on what to wear to what. And how to be fashionably late.

The pictures are a scream.

You will be laughing a smiling the whole time and yes, freakin' Fabulous at the end.

Great book.
