Fierce Friday: Secret Weapon—Show Some Leg
I am a dress and heels girl. I have been for years. I think that women look better showing a little leg. With that being said, it's Friday, get fierce. Show some leg. In three simple steps you can get lovely legs—exfoliate, shave and add shine. Check out lovely Alicia Keys — I love how she is so ladylike yet über sexy in her leather dress and Christian Louboutin's. And check out the group shot. Makes me think of that Sesame Songs — "one of these things is not the same…" So Alicia and Halle are rocking the dresses with the hot pumps and then there is Leona Lewis. She is really, really cute, but she's wearing pants. Just like Jaime. I think the ladies showing the leg stand out a taaadddd bit. Do you want to look like one of they guys? Let me answer that for you. NO, you don't! For sleek legs try the following: 1. Exfoliate (Buff) Removing dead skin buildup is key to beautiful bare skin. Take time to exfoliate your face and body on a weekly basis.
