This Just In

So I got something in the mail yesterday... the pics from my boudoir shoot already!  Talk about fast!

And I already gave them to C.  I just decided that there was no way I could hold out for 4 months (101 days today!) and I wanted to share them.  No fun keeping them all to myself.  Plus, I can't decide if making a book is really the way to go.  I don't know, do I want these on paper?  For anyone to potentially find?  Like my children?  I just am wrestling with that right now.

Anyway, C liked them but I'm having mixed feelings.  I don't have them to share right now, nor did she make the online gallery like she said she would so you'll have to wait until tonight hopefully to see some.  And I'm only sharing a few.

I just feel like they could have done a better job telling me to suck in my stomach or posing me.  I mean, I had a baby and do not have a flat stomach but I could look like I do.  And there was so much going on that I couldn't remember to do all of it.  And some of the photos just plain are not flattering.  I hate my legs, I think they're stubby and short and there's like 2 pics of just my legs.  There's only about 3 pictures with the chair and the rest are just me standing there.

I also feel like some of the pictures that I was looking forward to seeing didn't make the cut and I have no idea why.  There were some really cute ones using the chair and those are barely included.  Instead, there's a picture of me wearing the trench where you can actually see my nipple (not intended) and how is that better?

I know I'm my own worst critic, but part of me hoped that they'd turn out amazing.  I know that she's not a miracle worker but I feel like they could have been better.  Now, considering that I paid $100?  I suppose that's actually pretty good work for that low of a fee.

Some of them did turn out very cute or very sexy and I'm happy with those.  I'll do it again but I'll work out more first or something.  Or fast for a bit.  Or time it better for when I'm not about to get my period.  

I didn't mean this to turn into a rant but I'm trying to be honest.  I'll share some pics later when I'm at home and actually have the disc.  And if/when I do it again, I'll book a session that's all mine and not rushed with a photographer who can photograph in the most flattering way.

On My Mind

The things that are currently on my mind right now are Sunday's shoot and showers & bachelorette parties.  I've blogged about all of them.

After Monday, when I talk about how the shoot went, you probably won't hear about it again for a while.  Though, she did say we'd have the pictures in time for Valentine's Day so it won't actually be too long to wait.  I decided that there was nothing morally wrong with buying something for the shoot and returning it basically unworn.  I mean, I'm seriously not wearing them outside or doing any damage to them so why not?  I actually want to go buy some sexy heels now and do the same thing with them.  I'm not returning underwear or anything, just shoes.

That said, I did buy some boots yesterday, but I'm not sure they're right.  I think C really wants something like these.  I just couldn't find anything that would work and I figured these were better than nothing.  And that brown is the color I ended up with since they were out of black.  They're knee high and they've got that wedge heel.  I just don't know about them.  I'll leave it up to the stylist/photographer to help me decide.


I'm pretty much ready though.  I'd like my stomach to be flatter and my butt to magically get tighter but I suppose I'll live.  I know C likes what he sees and this will actually be better looking that normal life (thank you Photo Editor!)  My big concern now is getting all this stuff out to the car without C seeing and pampering myself (shaving everything, lots of lotion, nail polish, etc.) without arousing any suspicion.


The other thing I'll have to update on Monday is my first dress fitting (finally!)  I probably haven't been updating about this but I had an appt. last weekend for a fitting and it was rescheduled.  Then we were supposed to meet on Tuesday but she called to say that not only was it not going to work but she thought she just couldn't do my dress at all!  So I had to find someone new and fortunately my mom knows someone so I have an appt. tomorrow.


Monday should be a long post day!

Outfitting Myself

Yesterday I received 2 packages in the mail.  One was my blue wedding shoes (!) which are a little small and I think will need to go back for the next 1/2 size up, and the other was a OSU jersey.

I'm finalizing my outfits for this weekend's photo shoot and one absolutely must have outfit is the OSU jersey and red boy shorts.  I contemplated knee socks but didn't want to spend the money on something I'll never wear again.

My planned outfits are: the OSU stuff, 2 bra & panty sets, 2 lingerie sets, a button down shirt & tie of C's, and nothing.  No full frontal planned, but C lusts over Katie Perry's Teenage Dream album cover, so we can re-create that.

Yesterday, my wonderful husband comes home and informs me that he saw a girl at work (a high schooler - we're not going there) wearing furry boots and hot pants as he likes to call them.  He means really tight yoga pants that leave nothing to the imagination.  He decided that I need to get some furry boots cause he thought I would look hot.  

I think it's important that I mention that C is not attracted to his students.  I mean, who wouldn't find 18 year old girls hot, but his job is on the line and that's pretty much against the law and I keep him pretty happy overall.  He wants me in boots, not this girl.

Anyway, he meant the boots that someone in like Russia would wear.  So guess what I spent my morning doing?  Searching online for furry boots that could get to me by Saturday so I can have them for Sunday.  All because of one little comment.

But I already have a vest thing and with some panties and the vest and the boots, that could be pretty hot...

Would it be completely dishonest of me to buy the boots, wear them for the shoot and then return them?  I wouldn't wear them outside and I wouldn't do anything crazy in them.  They'd just be a prop.  What do you think?
