How To Be Sexy by Helen Gurley Brown

Clean hair is sexy. Being able to sit very still is sexy. Smiles are sexy. It is unsexy to talk about members of your family and how cute or awful they are. Or about your boss a lot---he's another man---a rival.


Talking all the time about anything is unsexy. Sphinxes and Mona Lisas knew what they were doing! Gossips---surprise, surprise---in not unsexy!


The little black dress is sexy. Perfume is sexy. Good health is sexy. Liking men is sexy. It is by and large just about the sexiest thing you can do. But I mean really liking, not just pretending. You must spend time plotting how to make him happier. Not just him . . . them!


-From "Good Advice" of William Safire & Leonard Safir
