So here’s the deal.  Mercedes Fashion Week in Miami is not your ordinary fashion show.  It does not feature any too stiff to walk in clothes.  It does not highlight any dresses that are too pretty but are completely unwearable off the rack.  Nope.  Miami Fashion Week reveals nothing but bathing suits from the start until finish.  Yes, you read my words correctly.  Let me repeat for emphasis.  Each designer shows nothing but bathing suits.  Go ahead.  Begin drooling.

Who knew fashion could be so stimulating?

And we are not talking about one type of bathing suit here.  We are talking about a plethora of swimsuits.  Everywhere your eyes wander you spot bikinis, monokinis, and sexy, glamourous pin-up style designs.  There are bathing suits with side cutouts, cleavage spilling out, and skin galore.  The bikini models’ bodies are perfection.  The swimsuit patterns are ultra sexy.  And, lucky for you, I am here to share with you the best of the bikini fashions.

Selena Gomez and the Kardashian Sisters

Let’s start with the influence of Kim Kardashian and her sisters.  Beach Bunny teamed up with the Kardashian sisters to bring a collection of over-the-top swimwear for the 2011 Beach Bunny Collection.  These suits varied from a turquoise bikini to more of a black bondage feel bathing suit oozing sexiness.

Notice that the models, accessories, hair and make-up really pull these looks together.  It creates an entire package bringing you a bikini model finished product that appeals on camera.  Anyone wanting to do a bikini model shoot could take note on how it takes all of these elements to make one glamourous, sexy, stunning shot.

Another designer featured this year was Ed Hardy.

It does not matter what Ed Hardy is designing, rock-and-roll glam with an edge is always incorporated.  The above two swimsuits are no different.

Overall, the Miami Fashion Show was a huge success!  And, next year, my wife and I are definitely going!  Hmm, I wonder how close we would be allowed to sit next to Kim Kardashian?

Below are some more bunny beach swimwear pics for your enjoyment.…enjoy ;~)

Lindsay Lohan Going to Jail

Lindsay Lohan

Remember the days when Lindsay Lohan was just a cute, freckled red-haired kid star from the remake of the movie “Parent Trap?” She was adorable, talented, wide-eyed, innocent, and projected to be the next big star of her generation. And now, she is balling her eyes out on television while sitting in court listening to her sentencing for the billionth time. The court system has finally had enough, and the be honest, so have I.

Lindsay Lohan could have the world. She had everything going in her favor and she blew it. She has failed her probation terms more than once, and this latest fiasco was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Sunday, June 6, 2010 was the MTV Movie Awards and this is where Lindsay got into trouble. According to reports, her alcohol detection ankle bracelet went off alerting the monitoring location. This is in direct violation of her probation terms causing courts to take note and action. In addition, it does not help her situation knowing that in 2007 she was arrested for being under the influence of cocaine and now undergoes random drug testing. She is a complete mess.

So the question debated in the media is when did this downfall begin? It’s hard to say. Some gossip columnists and followers of Lindsay’s career blame her stage mom for the negative outcome of her life. Her father would probably agree. According to several media reports by TMZ, CNN and Fox News, Lindsay’s father Michael has accused his daughter of suffering from a severe prescription drug addiction ( I’ve been there and done that, its no fun).  He claims it is the reason why she is acting childish in court and needs rehab immediately.

It is important to note, Lindsay and her father have not spoken to each other in years. And Lindsay continuously Tweets about her father in a negative manner. There is an ongoing battle. Neither one is going to win a Hallmark prize for being “Best Role Model Family of the Year”. But it still does not explain Lindsay’s apparent disrespect for the courts.

Linday Lohan Nails

During the sentencing, Lindsay had her nail airbrushed with an expletive saying , “F*** you.”  And as soon as the sentencing was announced, Lindsay flooded her Twitter account with a series of Tweets. She expressed anger towards the situation and called the justice system “constitutionally perverted.” Then she continued to state the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Seriously? Lindsay breaks the law, the law responds, and she is quote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? How does this attain any court empathy? Who is advising this chic?  And as of this morning, her attorney quit.

Lindsay’s behavior is out of control, and my guess is this absurd behavior is a direct link to her addiction issues. And until someone steps in to stop her then she will continue to spiral down further…and, truthfully, I’m not sure how much further she can afford to fall. Mentally, physically and financially she has to wake up and realize she is meant to be a glamorous model and movie star.

She could be the most sought after boudoir cover model for men’s and high fashion magazines alike. Instead, her idiotic mistakes are costing her career, pocketbook and years off her life.

Below are some glamour photos of Lindsay Lohen, and some train wreck ones.  I hope Lindsay can get it together.  She is a talent that would soar when sober.  Good luck baby!

Ouch! thats gonna leave a mark.  Last week Danica Patrick stunned the Indy 500 crowd by making excuses and saying “it’s not my fault” and going on about “the car is not good”.  She has had a poor performance this May at Indainapolis Motor Speedway and seems to be blaming her team for it.  Although Danica’s skills are way beyond mine for driving a race car, what has she really done as an actual race car driver?  She has one one race in the last 5 years, and I think that was one of those races in Idaho or Montana?  Or maybe it was Colorado.  I wouldn’t put it past the IRL that they had that race set up for her to win.  Hey its good for racing.  She is pretty (kinda).  She is good for the sport, she has turned into a glamour model that has posed for Playboy, Maxim, FHM and many more.  I totally am liking that!  She is a Godaddy girl.  Thats cool to, I buy stuff from godaddy, but not because of those girls.  So I feel like Danica should maybe just keep her mouth shut and drive.  Give the team feedback on the car and let the engineers handle it.  If she wants this bad taste out of her mouth she should also quit trying to massage what she said verse what she meant.  Just admit you were wrong and ask your team to accept your apology gracefully.

I have self sabotaged myself many times in my sports career as you just did, so I can relate.

Below is some Danica Patrick eye candy for my readers.….enjoy ;~)

1. Transforming Into A Lingerie Model

Beauty pageants used to be an American staple regardless the size of your hometown. It did not matter if you came from a big city like Los Angeles or a small rural area with population of less than 1000, such as Richmond, Louisiana. Beauty pageants existed as healthy competition based on poise, personality and intelligence.  Academic scholarships were awarded to contestants and winners. It provided a means for those who could not afford college on their own. And the viewers loved to watch. Viewers would eagerly gather in front of television sets waiting for the crowing of the new Miss USA. The exchange of the reign from the past winner to the new drummed up pure excitement and glamour for the contestants and viewers. But the benefits did not stop there.

National winners would continue competing on an international level opening up doors inaccessible prior to pageant involvement. It provided a plethora of opportunity in commercial, television and scholarship money desperately needed. It was the segway to a brighter future. Children emulated the pageant wave, dreamed of wearing the gorgeous gowns on stage, and reenacted living a glamourous, jet-setting life. The idea was if you were a beauty pageant winner, you had brains and beauty. You were allowed a platform to bring attention to the causes you believed in. You were given a chance to tell the world your story and why these causes needed to be resolved. You traveled the world, helped those in need, and admired by many. You received fame, fortune and money. These were all characteristics and traits of what a beauty pageant could do for you…until now. A monkey wrench has been thrown into the entire dynamic of what the pageant world stands for in the United States, and it started with the reveal of the official Miss USA contestants’ photo shoot.

Miss USA showed the media  the official contestant pictures and it is a far cry from where pageants began. Tradition was thrown out the door and images of contestants in lingerie emulating Boudoir Photography has surfaced. These are gorgeous glamour shots. No one is questioning that fact. They are gorgeous females, beautiful pictures with impeccable styling, hair and makeup. The results speak for themselves, but the pageant world is unsure how to handle the situation, and you can’t really blame them. It is not part of the beauty pageant tradition. It is thinking outside of the box. There is a debate about why are they dressed in lingerie. It would make perfect sense if it was a Victoria’s Secret (VS) campaign. For VS is a company that sells undergarments; therefore, show the product. But Miss USA is not a lingerie show.  It is supposed to be about earning scholarships.

What is your take on these pictures? Let us know what you think. Chime in your opinion here.

50\+ Women

Have you ever wondered what to get your spouse for an anniversary or birthday present?  It is stereotypical to believe for special occasions that clothes, jewelry and/or a new purse would be suitable as gifts for any female.  But what about a glamour photography photo shoot? I am here to tell you, as a true testament of seeing this unfold from a male perspective, that sometimes these material gifts are not enough.  These objects do not translate to how much you appreciate someone to the fullest.  So you have to think about gift-giving on a larger scale.  Perhaps an ideal present is one captured on film forever like a boudoir photo shoot for her.

Recently, one of our clients bought his wife a boudoir photo session for her 50^th birthday and she couldn’t be happier!  She got the works with a wardrobe consultant, hair stylist, make-up artist and us, the professional photographers pampering her like a movie star for the day.

She had looks ranging from the cover of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue to photographs emulating the revelation of a new rock star on tour press kit images.  It was amazing to see the transformation of different personality traits portrayed in each image, and it could not have been accomplished without the proper styling, props and background settings.

For instance, there are a series of shots where she is dressed in tough, dark denim jeans and a tasteful, sexy lace top while she sits on top of a Harley Davidson defining the meaning of rock star to the point it makes Gene Simmons jealous.  The hair was tousled, makeup perfect, light imitating what a rock star would look like.  It could have been the cover of a new rock album and no one would be the wiser.

In another shot, she wore a 2-piece bathing suit showing off an entirely toned body.  To pull of the styling requires a finesse eye to ensure the appearance has changed from prior sessions shot in the same day.  There is a slightly different take on the hair and make-up completing the entire look.

Through this amazing birthday experience, our client had the opportunity to have her hair styled differently for each shot ensuring the emotion of the shot matched in the styling.  Her makeup altered depending on the look she wished to achieve, including wardrobe changes and background settings.   For styling is essential to obtaining a successful glamour photography session.

The entire experience is one she will never forget.  She could not believe how much she has neglected to provide time for herself, but by doing this, she had the opportunity to close off the outside world and solely focus on herself.  She made herself a priority and this is where many women fall short.  Everyone comes first before them.  Well, in a boudoir photo shoot, you become the priority.  The rest of the world can wait.

3. How to Prepare for a Boudoir Photo Shoot

You have your boudoir photo shoot booked and the day is coming up around the corner marked on your calendar.   There is nothing to worry about the day of the shoot.  It is a full day of living the glamorous life filled with royalty treatment where you are the star.  Your hair, makeup and styling are previously planned and ready to be implemented upon arrival.  However, what are you personally responsible for?  What are you supposed to wear to the shoot?  Should you bring accessories?  Should you be prepared with under wardrobe necessities?  Here is a basic outline regarding what to bring to your boudoir glamour photography shoot.

Boudoir Photo Shoot

What to Wear to Your Boudoir Glamour Photo Shoot

The best thing to wear is a button down shirt ensuring your make-up and hair will not be muddled during wardrobe changes.  This helps for once the make-up and hair is completed, you are able to switch out of your clothes easily without messing up the final look.  The photographer will be thankful and so will the professional makeup and hair stylist.

In addition, wear loose clothing to your shoot.  Do not wear any jeans that may leave markings on your body from the lines in the denim.  Also, do not wear workout-training outfits for they sometimes leave markings on your waist and/or your stomach from the elastic.  Wear something that will not leave any skin marks, irritations or traces upon your body.  Remember, you want your skin to appear flawless.  Of course, it can be tweaked to achieve during post-production.  However, you want to provide your post-production designers with the advantage of working with a nearly perfect canvas.

What to Pack to Your Shoot

Bring invisible undergarments to wear with the wardrobe styling chosen.  You do not want certain areas to show that are not meant to be seen.  If it is a nude session, then do not apply spray-on tanner yourself.  Have a professional evenly distribute it.  It will make your body appear seamless.

If you wish to bring specific accessories, jewelry, and/or cosmetics, then bag it.  If you are unsure about using it, bring it anyways.  You can never be too prepared.

Do Not Wear Make-Up

If the boudoir glamour shoot includes a professional make-up artist, then go with a clean face.  Do not put any cosmetics and/or tinted moisturizer on.  If you do, it takes time away from your session due to the professional having to remove it all.  It is suggested to come with a clean slate for the make-up artist to reinvent your desired look from scratch.

Boudoir Photography

Bring Extra Shoes

According to the achieved look, bring the appropriate shoes to complete it. In addition, pack extra shoes.  You never know what may occur with shoes in regards to the heel.  Furthermore, if the shoes hurt halfway through the session then have an alternative option available with you.

Plan on Arriving Early

Leave the house early the day of the boudoir photo shoot.  You do not want to arrive frantic and stressed from dealing with traffic for these emotions may carry over into your pictures.  You want your images to relay a positive energy not a strenuous facial and body expression.  Your body should be relaxed and not tense.  Thus, depart in advance ensuring you arrive promptly or prior to schedule.  Leaving the house with plenty of time to spare will prevent that from occurring.

Enjoy the Photo Shoot

This is a day designated just for you.  It is produced to be catered for and to you.  Thus, enjoy it to the fullest.  It is the one time where you do not have to worry about your cell phone ringing, co-workers driving you insane, the kids screaming, and a significant other constantly badgering you to find his/her keys.

A boudoir photo shoot is about you.  Embrace the glamour behind it and channel your inner sensual diva making the photograph a complete success.

Below is a guest post for Mandarich Models Blog by fitness model Alicia Leombruni:

Alica Leombruni — Fitness Model

I started competing thirteen year ago when I was 24 yrs. old as a fitness model & fitness competitor. Before I got into the industry I use to go watch all of the fitness modeling shows to see what this craze was all about and after watching I knew that this was the industry for me. Competing in shows takes more then anyone can really imagine until one has experienced it themselves, it is not just getting up on stage prancing around in some little bikini as some people may think. The biggest thing about competing is you have to be selfish as this is a sport all about you which means, making your food, doing all your workouts & not going out with your friends at night to eat when your training. Those are only a few of the sacrifices you will give as there are more.

I’ve learned discipline, dedication, self control, sacrifice & mostly how to manipulate my body to get it look the way I want. When I competed in my first show I really had no idea what I was doing nor the sacrifice I was about to be making in my life. It was long sessions in the gym for cardio/weights as well as a complete calorie restricted diet of only certain foods. So I realized if I wanted to be on stage I had no choice but to give it my all & do what it took. My first show I needed to start out with a 12 week diet just so I could take it slow & lose the body fat the right way instead of crash dieting it off which is always no good. I learned to become a real good cook because I was constantly in the kitchen making my food since I needed to eat a meal every couple hours. I would wake up every am at 4am and go train then come home prepare my meals for the day, go to the office & then on occasion go back to the gym for my second session if needed.

Fitness Model Alicia Leombruni

That became my life as a fitness competitor, always cooking, dieting & traveling all over the country competing in shows on the weekends. When I look back the biggest sacrifice was the years I gave up in my life not being a normal human being because I was so consumed in competing I isolated myself from the daily world. Don’t get me wrong I loved every minute of it but now years later looking back I see the big sacrifices that I made.  As I continued competing the dieting would very for how long I needed to start out before a show to be ready, and that is why maintaining is so important in competing. Too many people say they have these on/off seasons well guess what no that is untrue. Whenever you hear someone say they have an on/off season unless they are an endorsed athlete making bank then in my opinion it is simply an excuse for them to get fat. I do not see any other reason for these competitors to gain so much weight and not look themselves once the shows are over.

I learned many years later after being in the sport how to maintain my weight all year round so that when I wanted to compete, fitness model, go on a casting call or whatever job it may be, I wasn’t that far off & didn’t need to kill myself dieting to get where I needed to be.  Once I mastered that part the rest was so much easier because I didn’t have to diet as long nor do all the cardio. Like I said the biggest mistake fitness competitors make is letting themselves gain to much weight after a show. Then when show time rolls around again they have to take 3–5 months if not more to get it off and that to me is ridiculous. My motto has become “On season all season, there is NO off season”.

Fitness Model Alicia Leombruni

After competing in my first show I got involved in fitness modeling. It only made sense that when I trained so hard to look so good that I should only show off my hard work thru my pictures. As with competing its fairly similar to doing a photo shoot because yes you have to diet to be lean, need to be tan & always have an amazing hair & makeup artist. Hair & makeup for a shoot is highly important because it really does affect how your pictures turn out after wards. photo shoots are basically like an investment, if you put your time and money in to buy sexy gorgeous outfits, get your hair and makeup done, make sure your body is on point then your pic’s will show all your images.

If you skimp out and don’t tan & pay for a professional hair and makeup artist then you will have poor quality pictures & you won’t be happy with the results as I have experienced that many times in the past. I also think one of the other most important things in fitness modeling is the photographer you are working with. Research your photographer & if you don’t feel comfortable do not shoot with that person or bring an escort with you. Also watch what you sign some of these photographers have models signing all kinds of crazy stuff and the models are not really even reading what they are signing. I’ve been fitness modeling for many years & still to this day do it! I love being in front of the camera shooting amazing images & always coming up with new shoot ideas. It allows my portfolio to be versatile giving people the opportunity to see many different sides to me & who I am as a person.

Fitness Model

When I prepare for a photo shoot now because I have learned how to maintain my weight, I may just take the week prior to do a no to low carb diet the week of depending on how I look. I also eat very clean & workout daily. Then the day before I get spray tanned and usually do a little shopping as I like to always have new outfits for the shoot. I don’t like shooting in outfits I have already shot in at a different shoot. Besides it makes it fun knowing you have new cool sexy outfits to be shot in..:) There is a lot of sacrifice in competing and in fitness modeling, there’s no magic pill to take off weight and be ready. It’s all up to you & how bad you want it as with anything you do in life! I have sacrificed many years of my life in this sport & wouldn’t change it for anything. I have met so many wonderful people & worked with some of the most amazing photographers.

Women Fitness Models

So if your considering being a fitness competitor or dipping your foot in fitness modeling make sure you are willing to give 100% of yourself or it’s not worth doing. It’s a sacrifice of endless workouts, clean dieting, buying clothes, hair & makeup, professional photographers, but in the end the results are all worth it. I’ve had the pleasure of working with one of the most amazing photographers in the valley Tony & Char Mandarich & they exude professionalism in all their work. If you check out my fitness modeling website at http://alicialeombruni.com you will see their amazing photos everywhere.

You get out of life what you put in to it-so do the work & reap all the great results. Competing & fitness modeling is a wonderful experience & if you are willing to sacrifice a little you will be surprised with the changes you can make to you body & have that body you’ve always wanted, I did!  Good luck to all of you who decide to venture into this industry of competing/fitness modeling. It’s changed my life for the better & I find the older I get the better I look because I have learned the discipline & sacrifices it has taken me to get to where I am today..:)

Summer clothes are winding the clock back to the glamour images of the past where the mix and match of black and white were synonymous with the words, chic, elegant, and cool.  You see it in today’s clothes, bathing suits, shoes, hats, editorial spreads, and fashion photography images from all over the world.  Black and white is the number one must have summer trend of 2010, and you do not have to look far to find something that represents you.

A glimpse of the black and white trend was shown in 2009, but the look was more edgy, punk rock and in your face.

Black and White Fashion in 2009

Now the trend is modern, clean, and a bit reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn era.

Glamour Model Sophia Hellqvist

glamour models have it made.  They are sexy, sensual, bodacious females who receive tons of publicity. Fame, fortune and sex symbol status are acquired.  They receive industry-style royal treatment.   However, what happens when a bikini model starts dating someone from true royalty?  Well, in Sweden the entire country is not very receptive to the situation.

Prince Carl Philip

23-year-old Swedish glamour and bikini model, Sofia Hellqvist is allegedly dating one of the most eligible bachelors in the world, 30-year-old Swedish Prince Carl Philip.  This may be great for Sofia but the country is not rallying around the relationship.

Recently, Sofia was photographed in a Swedish men’s magazine called Slitz with only a pair of bikini bottoms and a writhing, mottled snake wrapped around her body purposely positioned to disguise her from too much exposure.   It was not a big deal.  Until, shortly thereafter, Prince Philip separated from his current girlfriend of 10 years at the time, and then spotted publicly with Sofia immediately after her appearance in the magazine.  The country was not thrilled.

One Swedish journalist described the situation as “appalling.”  The same journalist continued to comment on what if Sofia appeared as the Prince’s date to his own sister’s wedding scheduled for this summer.  It will be a true royal wedding and, “Can you imagine her turning up?  It could be very embarrassing …”

iPhone Killer Named Droid

Ever since the entire Apple App fiasco (see Apple Apps and Apple App Rant), we decided to screw Apple. It was an executive decision.  Instead, we are proud to announce the launch of BoxScore Babes Bikini, BoxScore Babes Boudoir, and BoxScore Babes Fitness applications on Droid.

We have been working hard to launch all three apps, and they are now launched in the Droid Market Place.

The Droid app will provide you with the opportunity to download the most gorgeous, stunning and sexy fitness, boudoir, and bikini models along with the latest NFL team scores at no cost.  It is completely free.  You receive images of the hottest girls alongside your Sunday football  scores all in one application.

How Much Is It?  FREE !

The way to use the app is download it to your Droid at no cost.  Once the app is downloaded, you may view images from the BoxScore Babes gallery.  Scroll through the pictures or stop on one of your favorites.  Then, during the NFL 2010 pre-season, your favorite football team scores will be added live to the bottom of each image.  You will receive scores in real-time making your life much easier.

What is better than having sexy females and football at the palm of your hands at no cost?  The football scores feed won’t be added until the preseason starts.  So currently you only get to look at hot babes that we have photographed.  Not so bad.

Now, if only I can have the Droid app make chicken wings to instantly appear at my fingertips without me ever having to get up off the couch during a game….Hmmm.

90210’s own AnnaLynne McCord struts her stuff in a recent bikini modeling session.  She is the new breakout star of the CW hit show, 90210.

In the Coral Bikini 90210 AnnaLynne McCord

AnnaLynne is a perfect example of how to do bikini modeling right.  She has various pictures reflecting sexy, playful and girl-next-door looks.  She provides the photographer with a wide array of different shots to choose from while showing off her assets perfectly.

AnnaLynne’s Secret to Great Bikini Modeling?  The Styling

Take note of how the styling for each shot is in-sync with the mood each picture is trying to portray.  For instance, in the playful picture on the left, her hair is flowing, she is wearing a fun necklace, and her pose is nothing serious

90210’s AnnaLynne McCord Bikini Modeling

Then, in the sultry black bikini photograph, her look changes completely.  The hair is styled differently, the look on her face and body position change and her eyes are looking dead on at the camera.  The black bikini is much more sexually alluring than the one on the left.  The subtle change in jewelry adds to the image.  This is a great example of how a successful bikini picture is possible to attain with the right styling, posing, accessories and background.

If you would like to take a page out of AnnaLynne’s photo shoot, try emulating your own bikini model poses at a bikini photography session made just for you.

We recently set up a fashion photography photo shoot with my daughter Holly Mandarich and her friend Heather Bolter.  Neither one of them are professional models but they wanted to do something over the top in the fashion genre.  I think they may have been watching “America’s Next Top Model” episodes and thought it would be so cool to do something like that.  Well, I couldn’t agree more.  Mandarich Models doesn’t do much fashion photography.  Our concentration is more on boudoir, glamour and fitness photography.  I felt this would give us a great opportunity to try something new out that we don’t get to do everyday.

The first thing in order was to get some ideas of images that in the fashion industry that we liked in respects to composition and feel.  There is a fashion photographer named Stephen Eastwood in NYC that I have on my bookmarks.  He does outstanding work, so we looked at some of his shots.  We came up with big hair, earthy feel and funky eyelashes.  So we informed our make up artist Allison Pynn about it and she was thrilled as  she loves doing work like this.  We have been working with Allison for the last 5 years and she is extremely talented.  Here is the result of our efforts.  Thanks to all that participated!

Not since Victoria’s Secret Angels collection and the official Victoria’s Secret Angels’ models has there been so much buzz in the lingerie world.  Victoria’s Secret is unveiling the new “Nakeds” collection today.  It is going to be the sexiest Victoria’s Secret launch yet.

Nakeds features lingerie sets with all the support needed for any woman.  But the difference lies in the material.  The material is so airy and lightweight that it feels as if you have nothing on.

Nakeds will be available starting today, March 30, 2010 in Victoria’s Secret stores, website and catalogue.  It is going to be a worldwide phenomenon.  To kick it off, a sensual 30-second commercial featuring the one and only Chanel Iman with Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton was produced for this special engagement.

Victoria’s Secret knows how to turn up the heat, and the Nakeds collection does not disappoint.

I wonder how one applies to be a Victoria Secret Photographer?

The saying, “40 is the new 20,” has never been more relevant as it is today.  Women 40+ are sexy, beautiful, confident, established and comfortable in their own bodies. They exude a sense of inner strength, and sensuality hidden during their younger years. At 40+, you do not care what other people think. You have a great sense of who you are and are able to exhibit this without inhibitions. There is nothing to hold you back as in the past. Thus, more women are turning towards Boudoir Photography to celebrate milestones and welcoming changes in their lives.

Boudoir Photography is a Gift Honoring Milestones

Perhaps you are on your second career, celebrating a fresh marriage or commemorating beating health obstacles. Whatever it is that has brought forth such powerful emotions elevating your self-confidence to a new level at this time of your life should be captured in a boudoir photograph. It is a reminder of what you have achieved in life. It is a means to hold yourself accountable for the beauty, sexiness, and confidence that defines you. It is a way to communicate all of the different layers that makes up the powerful woman you are today.

A young female would not have experience to comprehend what these inner changes in a female mean without one day reaching the same age as you. Do not let this time be wasted. Embrace the moment and indulge in a boudoir photography session today.

Clogs are Back!

Once Chanel came down the runway with the models wearing five-inch clog mules, then every designer went to produce their own version of the same shoe.  The Chanel clogs are fabulous but the price tag breaks the bank.  So how can you achieve the same $1,795 price tag for $79?  Try Jessica Simpson’s studded clogs.  These are a great substitution!  We have some glamour photography photo shoots coming up where we will be using sexy, platform clogs.

Chanel $1,795 on Left. Jessica Simpson $79 on Right.

Mini Florals are In!

You can’t go into a store this season without being bombarded by floral prints.  Christian Dior has a beautiful floral mini print dress, but it costs approximately $3,000.  Don’t worry.  You may get the same look with the Alice in Wonderland inspired look from Forever21.  It is a floral romper costing only $27.80.  Remove the hair band and high stockings and you have a stylish, sophisticated, fresh look for spring.

Before and After

More young adults are receiving plastic surgery procedures normally reserved for older women.  Teens and young adults are increasing in requests for eyebrow lifts, face fillers, and lip enhancers.  But when is it too early to receive a neck liposuction, fat injections in cheeks and lips, and a mini brow lift?  Should there be an age requirement?

When is Enough, Enough?

Twenty-three year-old reality, television star, Heidi Montag underwent ten plastic surgery procedures at once.  She had Botox, nose job revision, mini-brow lift, chin reduction, fat injections in her cheeks and lips, breast augmentation revision, liposuction on waist and thighs, ears pinned, buttocks augmentation and neck liposuction.   This brings her total procedures to twelve.  Twelve plastic surgery procedures at the ripe old age of twenty-three?!?

Her Hands Look So Much BIGGER On The Right ;~)

There are young, Hollywood celebrities that had successful plastic surgeries.  Ashley Tisdale, Ashley Simpson, and Blake Lively obtained nose jobs that are subtle changes enhancing their overall beauty.  However, Heidi Montag looks like a cyber-enhanced, science fiction influenced character.  She does not look real.  Her surgeries make her look a great deal older than her real age.  She is currently on her way to be another Janice Dickinson plastic surgery– addicted nightmare.

What do you think of Heidi’s surgeries?  Do you think there should be an age requirement for specific procedures?  What about the plastic surgeon, who implemented the surgeries, did he act in an ethical manner by applying 10 surgeries at once to such a young person?

I have always wanted to make a fun video like this.  Some day soon Mandarich Models will.
We have to find the right model and the right set.  It will be a blast.  Maybe we will use
something besides milk.  Any suggestions?

New York and Paris Fashion Week 2010 revealed what trends are on the horizon for spring.  There were muted nail colors, textured hairstyles, glimpses of metallic accents, and shimmery, glowing skin.  Of all the trends seen during Fashion Week Spring 2010, here are my top 3 picks of what you shall see most influenced from the runways and easily intertwined into your every day look, and something we will incorporate with our glamour photography.

Braids are Hot

Braids….are….fierce!  On the red carpet, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum and Alicia Keys have all been photographed wearing braids.  Braids give women the option to wear an easy, trendy, affordable style.  Wear it across the front of the hairline in the place of a hair band.  It is the definition of simple chic.  If you don’t want the front hairline braid, opt for a fishtail or side braid.  The key to keeping these looks fresh is to create a messy fishtail or side braid.   Do not make a strict, perfect, well-kept line.  If you do then you appear outdated.

Go for the Coral

Coral and peachy tone lips are the must-have color of the season.  It is a shade that works in the boardroom, at a cocktail party or lounging with your friends at home.  It works in any setting.  And even though we first saw glimpses of this trend in the fall, it isn’t going anywhere now that spring is here.  We say go for the coral!

I Love the 80s

Even though MTV no longer premieres Michael Jackson videos, the colors from the 1980s reign supreme in terms of eye color.  Eyes pop with 1980s influenced pastel color pallets.  Choose a sky blue or Easter-themed pinks and lavenders.  Offset these eye colors with brown pencil liners and black mascara.  It seems we can’t get rid of the 80s yet.  But do not bust out your parachute pants, because we are only talking about eye color here.

Spring Fashion Week 2010 displayed an economic conscience about people’s spending and awareness by offering looks anyone can afford.  The above 3 picks fall into that category allowing you to release your fashion diva without breaking your tight budget.
