Ergo, Boudoir

I had a shopping excursion today! I decided it would be nice to get a few new props for my boudoir clients. I re-he-heally (I must be channeling Dr. Cox from Scrubs) wanted this awesome purple chair I found, but for its *clearance* price, I was able to get a lot more things I needed. The chair will have to wait. Instead I got a humongous mirror – it may even be too big. I believe it’s about 3’x6’ but it may work out perfectly. I’ll use it in my next shoot and see how it goes! I found the most precious little footstool / mini ottoman. Maybe precious isn’t the right word for it, but it sure is cute! It is made of dark brown leather with a nail trim. Then I found two awesome easels that I’ll use to display large prints or canvas, AND while I was there I found the cutest apron in the whole wide world! It is black with white polka-dots and ruffles – and it gets better – it has a pocket with a monogrammed initial on it! I got one trimmed in pink with an “A” on it for me, and I got one trimmed in green with a “J” on it for my mom. Her kitchen is being remodeled tomorrow, so I’m gonna surprise her with it then. And the best part was that they were on sale for 50% off! I love finding stuff like that. But wait, does this mean I’m gonna have to cook now?? Shoot, I should have thought this through …

Fortunately, I like to cook! I never understood the appeal of a crockpot until I finally got one! I make the most incredible chili – I challenge anyone to a chili cook-off, for I will surely win!

Oh! I also got an inflatable mattress. For what, you ask? Well, since many of my photo shoots take place in different locations, and since I am a boudoir photographer, and since boudoir literally means a woman's bedroom, and since most bedrooms include a bed, and since most beds include a mattress, I felt it necessary to add one to my portable studio. Next week I have a boudoir shoot in an empty house, so it will be nice to use the inflatable mattress to create the appearance of a woman's bedroom; ergo, boudoir.
