B-pic ???
My SIL is going to be doing bpics for me sometime this month. She's working on her portfolio and is doing it as part of my Christmas gift. So those of you who got them done, what were your favorite outfits/accessories? Any other advice on hair or makeup?
Re: B-pic ???
Same as pp said, I've wanted to do it but haven't yet, and those were my favorite "outfits". I also like the ones with the knee high athletic socks and the jersey instead of heels. And this one isn't an outfit, but I think the ones where you're kinda wrapped up in the sheets look sexy while still covering all the important parts.
As for hair and makeup, it seems like full hair and a smoky eye fits the mood most of the time, as well as the natural palette with bold red lips. Just depends on what fits your personality best.
I'm super jealous, btw! Crack open a bottle of wine and have fun!
Le sigh... I wish I could! It sounds like a blast, but this body just ain't ready for the camera yet. Once I'm in better shape we'll talk.
One of my favorites was the multi-strand pearls (a la Kim Kardashian, which is totally where I got the idea.) If I hadn't given them to another knottie already, they would have been all yours.
I did heavy eye make-up including false lashes with fairly neutral everything else. I had it done at MAC and you know how they go nuts on the eye make-up.
If you want any inspiration, I can send you some of mine.
Ditto this.
I agree with jerseys and long necklaces/pearls...
I also picked up this really crazy pink fuzzy blanket (honestly I'm pretty sure it was from the "teen" section of bedding) and used it for some pics. I found panties that matched and used the blanket to cover the girls...
I also went with lots of curls in my hair and heavy eye makeup (with false lashes) and some lip gloss.
I actually have a multi strand pair of pearls. I'll post a pic. They are yours if you want them.
I wore bra and panties for most of my pictures. I also took a white boyfriend tank with lace around the top and wore it with some undies. My photographer had a sheet we used, which was fun as well. I wore hubs button up white shirt as well. It was tons of fun!
Let me know if you want it
.
I guess I'm a little sluttier than the next
I'd play up the heat you're packin' in the rear and go with extremely seductive panties (thinking G-string or brazillian) and a hot bra (VS has a couple of really gorgeous ones out right now).
I love the pearls idea. Go with stilettos. VERY heavy on the eye makeup (get the lashes like Nat said), glossy, but neutral in the lip.
You are SO lucky you're having them done by someone you know - that was the only reason I didn't do them. I'm a bit too much of a lady in the street, freak in the bed type - I am a major hoe for my hubbs, but can't hoe it up for a photog...
ok, so from my point of view... I love love love bright colors, cute shoes, & lots of accessories! long necklaces are great to photograph, such as pearls or whatever! False eyelashes are always a plus...sometimes I feel like they totally complete the makeup.
I had one girl bring her husbands guitar & a bunch of records, which I spread around her....totally cool. props are great, especially if they mean something to your DH.
I usually scope out boudoir blogs to get good ideas too!
GL! Have a great time!!

Meghangh - I would love them! I had similar ones but can't find them for the life of me. Send me an email and I'll paypal you the money.
Cristina - I know her but she's my SIL! Not sure I'm going to able to slut it up in front of her but we'll see.
And confession to all of you - these aren't for my DH, they're for me. It's not the kind of thing he would care about. I know he'd just say, "I see you naked every day".
I sent you a snapfish album. For your eyes only obviously
I did a sexy Steelers jersey with a black thong and black heels, a hot pink lace bra and thong from VS with rhinestone earrings, a pretty coral and pink teddy, a vintage light pink/green bra and thong set with a fur shrug, heels and rhinestones (very old hollywood glamour) and sheet shots (ivory thong and sheet to cover/roll around with). I can send you a few of mine too if you want.
And I agree with pp- vamp up your makeup with smoky eyes and false eyelashes, lots of pearls/jewelry and heels!!!
I think your hubby would love them regardless if he sees you naked everyday, but kudos for doing them for yourself! I have one of my b-pics framed in our guest bedroom (a PG one of course)!!! My profile pic is one of my less-racy b-pics too...

Have fun with them and I'm sure they will turn out awesome!
