Miss JC - Lavish Boudoir

This blond bombshell knew that she wanted to do this shoot the right way from the very beginning. She came over to meet me and talk about our all the details and how to get the most from it. Miss J was just a doll from the get-go. She's got that wholesome sexy look that you know boys have been chasing since kindergarten. She hired Randi Buchanan to do her makeup and together we collectively decided on two drastically different looks. She wanted both the sweet side and the vampy side. For her shoot, she slipped right into character. With flushed cheeks and wide eyes, we shot the first half of her shoot. The second look was all drama... big hair, red lips, and leopard print lingerie. She bears a striking resemblance to Christina Aguilera, don't you think?

Beauty Tip - Blow Out

There has never been a Victoria's Secret Angel with limp and lifeless hair. Blow out your hair like a pro and get the most volume and swing you can. 1) Apply a volumizing product to your roots. Just your roots.

2) Blow your hair 90% dry while flipping it upside down.

3) Section off a little of your hair at the crown of your head. Clip the rest back and out of the way.

4) Use a large ceramic round brush to pull your hair taught while you dry it the rest of the way. Wrap 1-2 inch sections around a medium to large velcro roller and secure it.

5) Repeat section by section from the crown of your head to the nape of your neck.

6) Set with a comb-through hairspray like this one.

7) Let hair completely cool while you apply your makeup, undo the rollers and comb through.

See? Amazing volume! Now go put on your highest heels and turn some heads!

Beauty Tip - The Duct Tape Bra

Big hair- Check.

Big eyes - Check.

Big cleavage - read on.

Some women are genetically or surgically blessed. Some (and I mean me) are not so much. Here are my two favorite tips for bringing on the boobage. Warning... men will lose the power of speech.

Tip #1: Remember the contouring for your face? Same concept here. Get a non-shimmer bronzer in a stay-put liquid or a good powder. Brush it in the valley between your breasts. Now take a bit of shimmering powder (I know... I'm breaking my own rule here) and dust it on the roundest part of your breasts. Put on a great push-up bra and your set!

Tip #2: This is for the truly dedicated because it CAN hurt a bit at the end of the night. All of my college friends have done this at some point and let me tell you, the results are astounding. The only thing you need? Yup. Duct tape. Dust your nipples with talc or baby powder or protect them with a cotton pad. You DO NOT want to pull duct tape off your nipples. Using a strip about 12 inches long, stick it to the edge of your left breast. Squeeze your right breast toward it and tape them into the position of cleavage you want. Then use a second and third strip where you would have underwiring in a bra. Now here is the important part. Wear a well-padded or firmly lined bra so that you don't have odd-shaped breasts under your clothes. At the end of the night remove very carefully. If it hurts, use a little baby oil to dissolve the adhesive as you pull.
