Nicknames... love 'em or hate 'em... you've got one

Nicknames... some we love and some we hate.  Either way, it means somebody has thought enough about you to come up with something original. What is your nickname?

My nicknames I love and hate from the people I love:

mom - Sweetie

CJ = Stinky (rolling my eyes) or Sexy

Friends = Les

Beauty Tip - Silk Bedding

Sounds like it's simply a luxury doesn't it?  Actually, they can be fun at night and also make you look better in the morning.  Silk sheets do the following: 1) Preventing creases in your face

2) It won't absorb your expensive facial creams like a cotton pillow case.

3) Your hair won't tangle and knot if you toss and turn

4)  They feel delicious on your whole body

If you can't afford silk, satin will suffice.  Sweet dreams!

Mr. & Mrs. F - Boudoir - San Francisco

Mrs. F is a regular client of mine from the Bay Area of California.  I shot her wedding way back when and have done 3 boudoir shoots with her.  In fact, she was my first in a gorgeous suite in a beautiful San Francisco hotel.  This time,  I wanted to collaborate with my favorite Sacramento makeup artist, Courtney Carmack of Kiss & Makeup.  We wanted to do a darker boudoir shoot with a sort of goth theme.  I know... so different from my usual style.  We started shooting and chatting.  This girl can pose and sell it!  Anything I asked of her, she was game.  Anyway, we started talking about her husband's tattoos.  The three of us decided that we would have to drag him to the shoot and incorporate his ink and a little fake blood. (Yes, Courtney just happened to have fake blood in her kit. Ha!)   He was pretty hesitant at first, but once we got "the shot," and told him he could go, he said, "That's it?  Just that? No more."  I think he was enjoying his moment in the spotlight.  I just wanted to share this shoot with y'all and say a big thank you to Mr. & Mrs. F!

Beauty Tip - Faker's Pedi

I'm not an advocate of faking it, but I must say that I've been known to fake a pedi.  Well, CJ knows I do this because he bears witness to my secret.  I am terrible at keeping up with my polish.  I work too hard on projects to keep these tootsies looking anything resembling pristine.  My solution is peep-toe shoes.  They're as sexy as something strappy, but you only need to paint two toes on each foot!  Use a quick dry top coat and you'll be set to go in no time!  Just don't kick off your shoes. Check out Sephora for OPI polishes  for fun colors with names that will have you smirking all evening.  My favorite: Miss Bossy Pants.
