By Mr. Skin

Book Overview

After turning his lifelong obsession with famous girls on film into the Internet phenomenon known as MrSkin.com, the Skinmeister General has now compiled his expert knowledge and skinsationally witty way with a phrase into an authoritative, uproarious book that you'll never tire of flipping through---single-handedly, of course "Mr. Skin's Skincyclopedia" compiles exhaustive information on more than two-thousand starlets and the films in which you can witness them free of clothing. Every actress bio contains a complete list of movies in which she's appeared naked, as well as the specific body parts that are exposed. In addition, Mr. Skin picks each star's Skinfining Moment--- the single skinematic high point that defines her carnal career. The Skincyclopedia also comes packed with top-ten lists, revealing quotes from the bare beauties themselves, and a host of rare, eye-popping photos---all delivered in Mr. Skin's signature puntastic style. Spanning nearly a century of cinematic history, the Skincyclopedia unveils the silver screen's naked truth from the silent era to the blockbuster to the straight-to-DVD age of today, along the way revealing the answers to questions such as: - Did Marcia from The Brady Bunch ever bust out her Brady bumps? - Can you name the 1990 flick that features Jennifer Connelly sunbathing nude? - Is it Farrah's right or left Fawcett that takes flight in Saturn 3? - What are the Top Ten Most Leztastic Girl-Girl Scenes of all time? - Which twentysomething Hollywood honey once declared, "My boobs are fine---they go with my body"? - How many Academy Award--winning actresses have displayed their Golden Globes on film? - Got "furburgerage"? These and countless other fleshly film facts get laid bare in "Mr. Skin's Skincyclopedia"0, the definitive guidebook for the "movie buff" in all of us

Customer Reviews

This book has saved me many pointless hours

I used to wander aimlessly through the aisles of my video store without much of a clue as to what to rent for quality and nudity. Now I keep Mr. Skin's Skincyclopedia in my car for quick reference before i brave the video store shelves. Now I even know where to find Julie Andrews naked. My childhood memories of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music are forever altered. And as I work my way through the rest of the book, I continue to come across many other hidden jems that I had no idea existed before I found this invaluable resource.

All the nudes that's fit for print

This compendium of starlet flash truly is encyclopedic. Whether you are a casual viewer of the female form as it shows up in a few frames here and there of mainstream celluloid or you're a serious student of brazen B-movie gratuitous nudity, this massive tome will dial you in to a vast universe of exposed skin that exists beyond the scope of your current knowledge. You think you know nudity? You think you know sex symbols? You think you know stars of grade-C exploitation? You might know more than most (I certainly thought I did), but you won't know it all until you've read through this stunningly informative reference book. The sick part is that you just might find yourself reading straight through the thing. The book is bigger than a brick and twice as heavy, but the prose is light, funny and fast moving. It's the kind of thing where you'll tell youself, Okay, I'm just going to read three more entries, then I'm getting off the toilet and going on with my life. Fifteen entries later, you realize this book could become a problem.

It was the breast of times...

As a fan of the site, MrSkin.com, for years, I've seen the copy evolve into funny and informative profiles and reviews that (almost) distract from the pictures. The publication of this book finally collects the bulk of those insightful actress profiles in a volume I can hold in my hands...at least one of my hands. But seriously, the book is hilarious and, even better, so knowledgeable about celebrity nudity that it is an essential reference when visiting the video rental store. Mr. Skin has done the world a great service. Can't wait for a collection of movie reviews!

Skintillating! Skincandescent! Skinformative! Skin-sational!

I've long enjoyed Mr. Skin's witty appearances on the radio with Howard Stern, but I never joined his web site. When I came across this book in the store, I couldn't believe what I had been missing! Everything -- and I do mean EVERYTHING -- you ever wanted to know about movie nude scenes is contained in this amazing volume. And the writing is not only packed with information, it's hilarious! My only regret is that I didn't order this book before the holidays to give out to every guy on my list. But you can guess what they'll all be getting for their birthdays throughout the year. I can not recommend this skintastic master-PIECE highly enough!

Better than Brittanica

Everything you ever wanted to know about female celebrity nudity. As Howard Stern once said, "Mr. Skin, you're a genius, I know it and you know it". The book is very thorough with lots of humorous lists and witty reviews.
