I'm actually really hard-up for role models in the real world... I'm pretty clueless about celebrities, and most academics I only know of though pretty technical writing which doesn't give away much about personality.

Definitely, if you are confident about your body, you can accept the imperfections and not worry about how you look in some positions.

Hi Lori,

This book is timely for me as I will be having an important birthday in a couple of months - need all the psychological prep I can get! I am really enjoying it.
All birthdays are important because they are the one day of the year where YOU are the subject of love and celebration! I don't understand folks who hate celebrating themselves. Happy Birthday! Celebrate you!

I would say Angelina Jolie and Marg Helgenberger (totally not spelling that right) off the top of my head.

My favorite self indulgence is eating ice cream while laying in bed and reading to my heart's content. I go through at least a thick book a week.

for me it's more of a depression/ sexual trauma thing but. i understand! it's hard. i think erotica could help for sure. get your brain in the mood!

I don't know that I've ever felt sexy, specifically. There are days when I think I look really pretty/well put together/etc, but even as much as my boyfriend compliments me and says I look sexy, I just don't feel like I am. It's weird. I feel like it probably stems from my problems embracing my sexuality.

I feel sexy when my hair is freshly done or whenever I wear a new outfit.

Great to see you here, Lori. It's a good time for me to post one of the comments you gave me ahead of time:


What I really love about the Power of WOW is that it is joy-driven, and celebrates the unique individualism of every woman who ... more
Whoa that's an interesting opinion. Well said too.

I imagine performers, especially actors, learn to project confidence, whether they have it or not. Politicians, too.

I would LOVE to have a corset. Rocky Horror is like my FAVORITE movie and I drool every time I see Tim Curry in a corset. I want one! BUT what makes me feel sexy is when I'm in bed with hubby and he touches me GENTLY. Normally he paws at me and I can't stand it, but gentle touches make me feel great about me, I dunno, lol.

Hot but homey - Alyson Hannigan. She is a real woman who screams sexy to me. She seems very comfortable with herself which makes her all the sexier.

I've really liked the way that book comes off... it is currently the top on my list for extra-curricular Naked Reading.

When my husband looks at me - he gets that look in his eyes, and even if I didn't before I feel sexy when he's watching me, whatever I'm doing.

Could be that as well, I was raped twice. Once at 13 and once at 15. Sex never really was "fun" until I met my husband, but even so, I could do without it.

What is Stiletto U?
Stiletto U is a virtual university that I founded to advocate for healthy, sensual lifestyles. It's also 'where' I do my individual coaching. I coach women, using not only the Power of Wow as their main text, but have weekly phone sessions to really help them make the break thru necessary to unleash their confident, sexy selves. check us out on link I also offer anyone who is seriously interested in coaching a free session. I also have office hours (live chats) for those registered at Stilettou.com (you don't have to get coaching to register)

Nooooo. What is it? Not eating, or eating very little?
