How to look good naked…again (5 minutes to go)

The final part of my nine day series to cheating your way to looking fabulous naked

By now you should be a Burlesque starlet with luminous skin, bird of paradise lashes and just-been-shagged by Pete Doherty hair.

Planet Fashionistas are always prepared, so if you need to look hot a short notice, or if you’ve been slack and skipped a few steps along the way, this is pretty much all you need to know about looking good naked.

Listen to One – the Finale from the Broadway musical A Chorus Line -and imagine it was written about you. Mirrors and gold sequins optional…but highly recommended.

Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along...

One singular sensation, every little step she takes
One thrilling combination, every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who

One moment in her presence and you can forget the rest
For the girl is second best to none, son
Oooh! Sigh! Give her your attention
Do I really have to mention she's the one

She walks into a room and you know she's
uncommonly rare, very unique
peripatetic, poetic and chic
She walks into a room and you know from her
maddening poise, effortless whirl
(One thrilling combination, every move that she makes
She's a special girl)
strolling

Can't help all of her qualities extolling
Loaded with charisma is ma
jauntily, sauntering, ambling, shambler
One, and you know you must
Shuffle along, join the parade
She's the quintessence of making the grade
This is whatcha call trav'ling!

Oh strut your stuff!
Can't get enough!
Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention
Do I really have to mention
She's the one!

Believe it or not, before he was Carrie Bradshaw’s boyfriend in Sex And The City, Mikhail Baryshnikov was a world-renowned ballet and contemporary dancer.

I never thought I’d see myself writing this, but here’s Aleksandr Petrovsky doing A Chorus Line with a little help from Liza with a Z. Take it away, Aleksandr…
