Celebrity Boudoir: Jayne Mansfield
The boudoir and en suite bathroom of the voluptuous bombshell actress, Jayne Mansfield, has become iconic. It is best known for the heart-shaped gold lined bathtub with pink carpeted…um…well…EVERYTHING! The feminine theme of her home simply screams boudoir. Of her estate, one could say that the heart served as the crest (CHALLENGE: How many hearts can you find?). It was a respite oasis and a palace of sorts that provided a dreamy backdrop for her her life. There are many things about this home that I love (and some that I would pass on…i.e. carpeted walls). Nobody can deny that this was a special unique home that had Jayne’s signature…
Theme Park Boudoir (part one)
I work in the travel industry. My position allows me the opportunity to travel quite often. I happen to oversee most of the Disney product that my company sells. This has allowed me some really special opportunities. For example, I attended the grand opening of Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure Park last summer and most recently the grand opening of the New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Two of the most exciting things I’ve done though, is visit Walt Disney’s apartment and the Dream Suite at Disneyland. First, please allow me apologize for the poor quality of these pictures. I never remember to take a camera with me when…
Reality Boudoir
I will admit it (not sure if I should), but I am a fan of the Real Housewives series on Bravo. However, I only (yes, only) watch New York, New Jersey and Atlanta seasons. I’ve seen bits and pieces of the Beverly Hills season, but I never really got into it. Now I’m wondering if I should… I recently came across this photo of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump on one of the blogs that I follow (Daisy Pink Cupcake). When I saw this image, you know I had to search for more of where that came from. I ultimately landed on the real estate listing by…
Celebrity Boudoir: Miley Cyrus
Please let me preface this post by saying that I am not a big fan of Miley, nor do I agree with many of her stunts over the past year or two. Yes, I get that a girl has go to grow up and do things that little girls don’t, but when episodes of your show still air on the Disney Channel and five-year-old girls proudly walk into their first day of kindergarten with your face on their new backpack, it’s just not responsible behavior. Besides, doesn’t she know that bong-toking is not becoming, nor ladylike, behavior fit for a woman with a boudoir? HOWEVER….that does not take away from…
Celebrity Boudoir: Christina Aguilera
This month’s celebrity boudoir belongs to Christina Aguilera. You may have already seen the photos that I am about to share with you, because most of them were featured in In Style magazine and have been shared on many ‘o blogs. When you see how fabulous her boudoir is though, you’ll know why I couldn’t resist posting them. I believe she has since purchased a new home, but these photos were taken in the home that she purchased from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne (the one they lived in during their reality show, The Osbourne’s). Her decor is a bit eclectic, and features many design styles (Chinoiserie, Moroccan, Hollywood Regency, Paris…
Celebrity Boudoir: Kimora Lee Simmons
If you are addicted to the show Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane (like I am), you will know two things…that she has an amazing boudoir in her New Jersey home (ok, it’s a closet, but honestly, it’s probably the size of my living room and it even has a bathroom in it) -and- she embodies all things fabulous. She even has her own word, “Fabulosity”. It doesn’t really get much more fabulous than leopard print carpet, right? Probably not my personal choice, but that’s what I love about Kimora; she’s not afraid to be over-the-top. But even better is that, in addition to her love for fashion and material…
Celebrity Boudoir: Tyra Banks
This month’s Celebrity Boudoir belongs to Tyra Banks. The special part about this boudoir, is that it’s actually her “dressing room” at work. Wouldn’t we all love to have such a place to get away to at work? It was designed by the very talented Ron Norsworthy. 1
Celebrity Boudoir: Dita Von Teese
This months Celebrity Boudoir belongs to Dita Von Teese, the famed burlesque star. A woman who constantly exudes impeccable glamour, like Dita, would clearly would have a fabulous boudoir. Her boudoir is complete with an antique dressing table, hat stand (with a beautiful collection of hats), pink walls, a lady head vase, misting perfume bottle, cosmetic mirror and powder puff. Oh, to have a showgirls closet…everyday could be dress up day. I don’t think this photo is taken in her boudoir, but it is in her home. And since it exemplifies glamour, as every aspect of her life appears to, I thought I’d share it anyway. The deep peacock blue…
Celebrity Boudoir: Mariah Carey
Celebrity Boudoir…another monthly post series. Each month I will share photos of a fabulous celebrity boudoir. Ok, well, some may be truly classified as a dressing room or closet, but they are so glamorous that I would consider them worthy of being called a boudoir. The Celebrity Boudoir for the month of January belongs to Mariah Carey. Yes, this is her closet, and normally I would require a dressing table as the centerpiece, but considering the fact that it has a chaise lounge, chandelier, a pink tufted chair and enough stilettos to circle planet Earth twice over…we can call it a boudoir. 0
