I've always wanted to have boudoir pictures taken, but haven't had the courage to do it...

I've heard that they can be as classy, or as raunchy as you'd like them, had anyone heard of or done this??

There's a photog in my city that does work for Penthouse, and takes boudoir shots as well. He has his owm studio and everything. If the pics turn out, ya never know...

I'm sure DH would be fine with it, he'd benefit from it for sure! Wink

I think if you get them done, you should definitely change your myspace page (I'm assuming you have one of course) from private to public and post them there...you may end up with a modeling contract! How awesome would that be? I think my DH would love it if I did something like that.

Sorry to ruin any hopes, but melis070179 is terribly wrong. Making the photos public on social network sites may get wonderful comments to boost your self esteem, but it will not result in modeling contracts.

I am a photographer (not by profession, I have another job, but I do it as a hobby) and I can almost guarantee that modeling contracts are not earned by posting pics on myspace, facebook, etc. Boudoir is one of the worst types of pics you could consider submitting to modeling agencies. I encourage you to get them done, just don't do it with any hope of becoming a model. Depending on your looks, height, weight, personality and how photogenic you are, you might be able to get other photographers interested in shooting photo sessions with you by posting on OMP or Model Mayhem, but online post will never equal agencies signing you. The main thing for being signed is photogenicity, height & weight.

Runway, fashion, anything really mainstream will want girls with a minimum height of 5'8 (5'10 is preferred) and must typically around a size 0-2. Oh, and very sadly a size 8-18 is a plus size model in the modeling world, it's kinda sickening. There are also plenty of drop dead gorgeous people who don't photograph that well who have no chance of ever being models and there are plenty of very average looking people who have the right height & weight & can photograph well, so even though they're not that pretty, they have a chance at becoming models. If any 'agency' ever asks you to pay to be represented or to take classes then you are being scammed.

Have fun, get the pics done, but make sure you do so with a professional photographer. If it's a photographer without a public studio, I highly recommend taking someone (who will stay out of the way & keep their mouth shut) with you as a safety precaution. There are many wonderful photographers out there and there are many creeps with cameras posing as photographers out there. Send me examples of the photographers work and I can tell you if they're worth shooting with or not based on quality of pics. Overall, find a great photographer, relax, have fun, get the pics taken, just don't get false hopes of 1 photo shoot turning into a modeling career.

I was just day dreaming, I suppose. I am tall enough though (5'9", but weigh 130lbs, size 6/8 depending). However, having just celebrated my 40th bday, I think I'm a little old for trying to start that kind of career... :O

I booked an appt to go meet the photog, should be interesting. I just don't want to wake up 10 years from now, and be unhappy that I let the opportunit pass me by. That and the fact that I'm sure I'd rather look back when I'm 75, and see those types of pics of myself at 40 instead of 50... I'm good, but I'm NO Heather Locklear.... Wink

Sounds like KKat has revived the old Bucket List. I think the Boudouir pics are nice if done tastefully and are for DHs eyes only. I think it would be a great gift and what man doesn't want a nice sexy pic of his wife. Hang it in your bedroom. I used to want those done, but it would need to wait until I've lost a few pounds now. I wouldn't feel comfortable. Kinda reminds you of the Carson Kressley show that tries to get women to love their body and in the end they do a professional photo shoot in the nude draped in something sexy covering the private parts. I can't remember the name of the show, but I loved it. GO for it. Anyone else have a bucket list that needs emptying?

Anyone can take the easy way out and blame others. BUT it takes a a person of character to take a look at one's self and actions and own responsibility for their part. ~ ME ~ }:-P

Sorry I didn't respond....LN, your idea is SMOKING HOT. I say run with it.

Reason I didn't get back to y'all (Sorry, P, you posted on my other site) is that I had the husband at Lowe's all day picking out fencing, etc. for when I come BACK from my venture. I think I want to RAISE tigers here.

Sure, he's bitching and moaning, but I said HELL, man, you have SIX MONTHS to work on this. And, we live on about an acre of property. That's plenty. Pull some strings, get some permits, let's get it together, dude. Quit your bellyaching and get to work, ya know?

I'm sick of all these other women having supportive husbands and I have a whiner. Sometimes you have to "crack the proverbial whip", really no pun intended. Smile

cats that have outgrown their cub cuteness? I think there's a real need for that type of thing. With an acre, surely you could offer a home to several...but hope you H puts his heart into it and does it right!

Actually, H's former FIL (a really wierd dude) kept a couple of lions...he had permits. They were taken from him not too long ago because some drunk put his arm in the cage (drunk and stupid, I might add) and was attacked!

If you get your DH to agree to all this, I'm comin' to visit! Because I could use lessons in H compliance!
