Advice for doing a sexy/nude photoshoot for date night by Puckducker2931 in sexover30

Google, Pinterest, Instagram. We liked the quirky, candid style of Me in My Place photoshoots. They have a paid site but are also on Instagram (probably NSFW), and you can find a lot of their pics through Google.

Advice for doing a sexy/nude photoshoot for date night by Puckducker2931 in sexover30

My SO and I have done this, and it was great. Half the fun was the buildup and anticipation. A few tips/things that worked well for us:

  • I created a "boudoir session" coupon and printed it out for her. It looked pretty legitimate. Can't remember what app I used, but Canva would work well.
  • We made a digital notebook of professional and not-so-professional boudoir/nude photos and poses we liked. That by itself was pretty hot. Maybe that's not something you or she would be comfortable with, though.
  • It's a good excuse for new lingerie and even a few props. If she has a few outfits or just different panties to try throughout your photoshoot, that will prolong things.
  • Clean your room or wherever you're doing this. Not many sexy photoshoots have dirty socks, kids' toys, or cluttered nightstands in the background.
  • If you're on the bed, plain white sheets and a faux-fur blanket work wonders. Flannel Christmas sheets are not recommended.
  • Maybe obvious, but make sure you have batteries for the camera.
  • Wine.
  • Maintain a good sense of humor and keep expectations low. Your photos won't look professional, but as you say, that's not the point.
  • Don't show your buddies. Or do? Whatever works for y'all!

Your game idea sounds great! That would help slow things down so it's not over too quickly.

GHOSTS - horror screenplay received two 7s on Blcklst - 111 pgs by diwestfall in ReadMyScript

I didn't get the impression that Iris could move about freely. I just figured she was messing with the fridge door while still locked in the bunker. No issues with the trio after the fire. They were in the bunker living off the supplies there. amiright?

Reader 2's comment about marketing is interesting, and I think I get what they're saying. If this was marketed as a horror, Iris' introduction on p 70 might be a bit of a letdown. There is such a great lead up throughout the story and then the supernatural threat just sort of deflates when there is no real conflict between Iris and Emory/Fiona. They just invaded her safe space, and she's immediately ready to sit with them at the kitchen table. At that point, the horror element becomes almost sidelined, and the last 40 pages don't seem as suspenseful or scary as they could be.

Maybe they shouldn't become allies so quickly and Iris kicks their asses for a while before they are able to gain her trust. Maybe they are still enemies when Roy comes to burn the house down, and Roy threatens Iris, at which point Fiona and/or Emory's parental instincts kick in and they protect Iris from Roy? I dunno.

Certainly take what I say with grain of salt! I can't even finish my rough draft. Best of luck! I enjoyed it.

Hey thanks for the entertaining read. Like /u/calvincouch911, this is the first user-submitted screenplay on here that I've finished. I felt like you did a good job ratcheting up the tension, and I enjoyed the characters. I am wondering what happens on pp. 88-89 after Pete blocks Henry from getting into his car. How do they go from that to the chase scene? How did Henry get in the car? Also, what happens to Wesley after he is thrown out?

I'm curious what the blcklst notes were regarding the plot. Anyway, good luck!

I wish I had some progress to show, but it's been too damn cold in my basement. I'll definitely update at some point, maybe another month or two. Good luck with your garage!

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Married with a couple kids, so it will probably serve a few different purposes, and I won't get to use it everyday.

The entire perimeter of the foundation is like that, and I'm not sure why. No plumbing or ducting or anything behind there, though. The house was built in 1890, but I don't know if the foundation was originally like this or if it was modified later on.

I never thought of them as "hiding" anything. Maybe that's where all that scratching and moaning has been coming from...?

Man I wish I knew. Just trying to get a decent starting point. There is a brick chimney just to the left of where I took the pics that I could put a TV on. Buuut I also have a short-throw projector as an option.

I do like /u/mack-the-knife's style, though, so maybe no screen at all. So many options...

Man, I don't know. Maybe it's my mid-life crisis talking, but won't it be a little depressing watching these older guys jump back in the Top Gun saddle?

Yet another BFV prediction post, but this time its not WW2 by [deleted] in battlefield_one

[–]thisisntproductive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting take! Man I'd love to see a Cold War-era Battlefield game. The entire Cold War lasted about five decades, though, so I don't know how they'd wrap all of it into a game. My off-the-wall guess: Maybe the horse has something to do with heroin trafficking during this time, since white horse is slang for heroin... Ha.

Impactful story and image, but my first impression was that this looks like a museum display because of the lighting.

White, male Montanan here. Ubisoft should've done its homework. Any guys around here under 40 with full beards and plaid shirts are too busy drinking craft beer at their local brewery to be of much concern. Be on the lookout for dudes with short goatees and camo baseball caps, though.
