Something I've always been into, but never really talked about was the art of Burlesque. Last year, I had a professional budoir photo shoot at a place near me called Spoil Me Silly. Looking at the pictures afterwards really had me in awe. It was like looking at myself in another light, seeing myself as more than just an average person, but also a gorgeous, confident woman.
Even this picture is without the retouching services they offer, and this isn't even one of the more revealing ones! I've learned that there is a huge need for women to have more confidence in today's world. This is an absolutely fantastic way to get there! It's in such a comfortable environment, the entire staff is female, and you get pictures of a gorgeous, beautiful you! Even if it's for your eyes only, you have something to be very proud of! No matter your body size, type, or shape, you will feel fabulous and sexy!
Recently, I've been looking at some vintage things, and came across (for the thousandth time) Dita Von Teese! That is one very confident woman! She is a Professional Burlesque dancer with her own clothing and perfume line who is very down to earth. She does her own makeup and hair, and seems very personable. I tried my own hand at "professional makeup application" after a trip to Ulta. (Where I had to learn what brush goes for what makeup!)
Granted, I could've done more, or dressed up for the part, but I'll get to that maybe tomorrow! Another day off, so maybe I'll dress up! I have a few things I have to do, so maybe after lunchtime! Ulta ladies say practice makes perfect!
What is everyone else's thoughts on the subject? It's a tad controversial, but a fun topic! It's a wonderful way to gain confidence, have some fun, and be thankful for being a woman!
Who is Dita? Maybe you've seen her before on TV! She's only 40, but still looks as good as ever, and has the confidence of a fabulous woman!
Some good Dita links:

Also, there's this fun movie out there called Burlesque! A little corny, but has very good dancing and singing in it. It stars Cher and Christina Aguilera.

That's a good start to captivate someone for an entire show!
Let me know what you all think!

Tried out a couple of dita links. This is a new world, and not a secret one. Good to try out different aspects of yourself. I will check netflix for Burlesque. I can see Cher would be perfect for that. She's like Madonna, always reinventing herself. Had to paste in the links, btw. They didn't just link.
