Best Documentaries for the Boudoir
I do keep a television in my boudoir, but I really don’t watch a lot of it. I cancelled my cable a while back, and just purchase the few shows that I like to watch. When I actually have time to commit to a couple of hours, and my son is asleep, I will generally choose an old movie (1940’s-1960’s), or a good documentary. I usually like to keep it light, and don’t really like to watch sad documentaries (or movies for that matter), so these aren’t super “deep,” but they take me to a happy and fascinating world. Here are some of my favorite documentaries that I highly recommend:…
Supermodel Sundays
For 2012, I am introducing a new series of posts…Supermodel Sundays. No, I didn’t mean Superbowl Sunday (no football is allowed in my little boudoir). It will be kind of like Mademoiselle Monday, except instead of focusing on actresses and singers, it will focus on supermodels. I went through my high school years in the early 1990’s when supermodel stardom was at its height. The walls of my boudoir were plastered of images ripped from Vogue magazine, often featuring Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, etc. It was in the pages of Vogue, viewing these very supermodels, that I developed my love for beauty products and fashion. Stay tuned…. 1
Vogue (…not the magazine)
As you may have noticed by listening to the My Little Boudoir Soundtrack, I love Madonna’s song Vogue (I also love the magazine). My favorite part of the song is when she names the silver screen movie stars. Here is a visual rendition for your viewing pleasure… Greta Garbo… …and (Marilyn) Monroe… …(Marlene) Dietrich… …and (Joe) DiMaggio… …Marlon Brando… …Jimmy Dean…on the cover of a magazine… …Grace Kelly… …Harlow, Jean (Jean Harlow)…picture of a beauty queen… …Gene Kelly… …Fred Astaire… …Ginger Rogers…dance on air… They had style, they had grace…Rita Hayworth, gave good face… …Lauren (Bacall)… …Katherine (Hepburn)… …Lana (Turner), too… …Bette Davis…we love you… Ladies with an attitude, fellas…

Give-Away: Turbie Twist
I love the look of a turban on a woman. I think it is a great way to show off a beautiful face. Plus, it can serve as a quick solution on a bad hair day. Some are fancy… Some are casual… And some should only be worn in the boudoir… While there are many variations of turbans for women, a boudoir turban is a fabulous item to own. I recently purchased one in “My Little Boudoir” blue. It’s called a Turbie Twist. It can be used on wet or dry hair. It is a great way to keep your hair out of the way while applying make-up, keep it…
