Photo Gift Idea

For the February/March 2012 issue of Pin Up America magazine, I departed from my usual photo tips and decided to give some out some custom photo gift ideas.  One reader took the idea and ran with it.  Check out these cute photo cufflinks she had made for her husband (Thanks Rachel!):

There are a number of website that allow you to choose from round or square cufflinks; here's one one on etsy:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/75086503/custom-photo-cuff-links?utm_source=googleproduct&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=GPS These square cufflinks are only $25 + $2.50 shipping. 



If you have a DIY idea to share, drop me an email. 

ROXY by Image Edge Productions- Rock Chick Flick!

What is ROXY?  ROXY follows the rise to success of a female rock group from their start in 2005 as a local Tampa Bay FL garage band called "The ROXY Dolls".

As the band evolves, they go through the ups and downs of the record business and emerge as one of the hottest acts in Vegas, but not without paying a heavy price.

Modern Boudoir

Meet Brandy!  She's done classic pin up but this time, we decided to try something a little different, but still classic.  We had a blast at the Don Vicente Inn in Ybor! 

Birchbox Unveiling

I thought I'd share my Birchbox experience with all you lovely ladies.  Birchbox is a monthly service that delivers high end beauty products samples to your door for $10 a month including shipping.  Samples are customized to your liking based on how you complete your profile. I'm a bit of a product whore, and I love samples.  So let's take a look, and see what the bounty delivered for June:

It comes a bright pink box for easy identification.  We wouldn't want to misplace this fun item among the other not-so-fun items, like bills!
Upon opening the box, the samples are wrapped with care in colorful tissue paper.  It's like a getting present!  Such fun!

From left to right and top row to bottom row, we have Deborah Lippman "Stripper To Go" Nail Laquer removers.   There are two of them and a box of ten retails for $12.00.  Next up is Twirl by Kate Spade.  There's not much description of the actual scent but it's described as "carefree and joyful", and 3.4 fl. oz retails for $80.00. 
Next is Sircuit Cosmeceuticals molecular mist; it works to keep skin hydrated and can be used before make-up, in-flight, or to set make-up.  I'm not sure how much extra moisture I need humid and sunny FL, but this might be nice to have when traveling.  Full size is 1 oz. and retails for $28.00.  Right next to the molecular mist is another moisturizer sample from Weleda called Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion.  It's imbued with rosehip seed oil and other antioxidants.  Full size is 8.5oz and retails for $25.00. 
And finally, to my utter and sheer delight, we have FULL size blush from Laura Gellar called Baked Blush N' Brighten.  It retails for $29.50, and is supposed to be versatile enough to use on both warm and cool complexions. 
What a great value for the money!  I am anxious to see what next month's box brings.

Body Flaws? No worries!

Part of glamour photography is photo editing.  We make you look your best with proper hair, lighting, and make-up, but we also recognize that all women have certain insecurities.  Bodacious Betty does all her own photo editing.  Below are samples of just what we can do.  You'll notice that none of the examples are 'shopped beyond recognition.  You're supposed to look like you, just your very best version of you. 

This lady here has some age spots and fine lines in the picture on the left.  The picture on the right is a smoother complexion with no age spots.  There's still a hint of fine lines, but the softening is more realistic.  Your glamour photos can be smoothed, and edited to your liking.  It's always easier and better to take a lighter approach first.  If you find that you want additional retouching, we'll work with you to make you happy.

This is just like losing 10 lbs. with no bumps or bulges!

Even the worst case of cellulite can be smoothed out!  See?  No worries!
