Carson Kressley is the host of Lifetime's How To Look Good Naked, though you may remember him from a little show called Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. Women aren't his specialty, per se, but he sure knows how the right bra can change their lives. Here's how Carson does women good.

I wake up every day and think to myself, 'Wow, I'm doing women. I never thought this was going to happen!' When they first came to me with How To Look Good Naked, I was like, "That's easy; box of wine and a dimmer switch!"

But actually working with these amazing ladies, hearing their stories, realizing how trapped they can feel by their own body, and being able to help them...that's amazing, so I think probably every day I get home from work and I'm like, I can't believe I have this job.

You don't have to be perfect to be beautiful. I think in our society we're so hit over the head every day with images of how we're supposed to look like. The refreshing thing about this show is that we're saying, "You know what? You look great just the way you are. We want you to be happy being who you are, loving what you got - you don't have to be a size zero." Marilyn Monroe was a size 12. If you ask someone today they would probably say she was a two or a zero.

Every episode is about removing whatever road blocks that stops you from living your dream life. Sexy is definitely a state of mind, and I think that's one of the things we really try to drive home on this show is that there are a lot of different definitions of what is sexy and what is beautiful.

Sexy is confidence. People stop generating that sexiness because people just get busy with their lives. It happened with the women on our show; they just got into their routine, and started to get away from their selves.
