How to Look Good Naked
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008I am completely into the new reality show “How to Look Good Naked” hosted by Carson Kressley. It is kind of like a traditional makeover show with shopping and finding the right clothes for your body type, hair/makeup, etc… except it is more goal oriented because at the end, Carson makes the women feel so confident that they are able to pose naked and have their glorious image blown up and splashed on the side of a building. I think it is wonderful, and of course there are lots of good crying opportunities because you see the process actually makes these women feel great about themselves and also how distorted our body images can become. Plus, Carson is so adorable and funny and cute – he plays the perfect fairy godmother.
We women are constantly at war with our bodies, it is hard to find amnesty for ourselves. I did it by dancing naked for a couple of years with “The Sensuous Woman.” I think the best way to get over your body issues is to just flaunt your body at every opportunity. It is hard because the urge to criticize ourselves is overwhelmingly strong. I don’t know why that is. I think that all bodies are beautiful in millions of different ways – but I get down on myself too! Since I became a dancer, I have felt much better about myself. I even did a naked photo shoot myself not too long ago, with my favorite photographer Austin Young. My friend Suhaila was there for moral support and she has done a lot of modeling. She gave me some good advice. “When you are being shot, try to think of a secret. Something beautiful. Something only you know. A secret. Hold onto that. Let them see the secret in your eyes. Feel it.” Austin shot amazing photos of me that day. Afterward, Suhaila asked me, “What was your secret?”
I said, “I farted.”
I guess it really wasn’t a secret because they already knew about it!!

Thank You All
Monday, November 19th, 2007I just got home after two months of doing “The Sensuous Woman” and now, after what was a nonstop whirlwind of activity I am really not sure what to do with myself. I want to thank everyone in the show, especially our NY cast members who joined us near the end, Jo Boobs and Tigger, and of course the incredible Dirty Martini. I was really anxious about losing Kelly and Pleasant, but Jo and Tigger rocked it every night, and I could never get enough of Dirty!
Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Chicago and New York. I had so much fun with you all and I learned so much.
Now I am going to work on my new standup show, “Beautiful”….I am so ready to get out there and do standup again! But I am not leaving “The Sensuous Woman” behind! Kelly and Ian Harvie will be joining me on my new tour! Exciting!!!!!
