Hi darlings! Here in LA we have a saying: “Any woman can be a porn star.” I think this is a little much. However, if you analyze what it is trying to say, you realize that there is not only much reality behind it, but much reality as well.

They are both sexy, tasteful photographs done in a fun photoshoot environment, and they are both meant to help you find that sexy side of yourself. Except there are a few key differences between pin-up and boudoir. When we say pin-up, we are taken back to the early 1900’s, when these …

Hello all my lovely ladies of all shapes, sizes, genders, and abilities! The power of boudoir is that it recognizes the beauty in every woman. Because every woman is beautiful. The team at The Boudoir Cafe has had the pleasure of working with plus size girls — of which we say: Plus Size? How about natural, normal, gorgeous size.
