We’ll you all know that K has me doing these fun little Marissa Explains It All episodes about boudoir. Getting ready to film one soon but wanted to know if you all had anything specific you wanted me to talk about? Ideas?
Today I actually left the studio at a reasonable hour. Tonight Weston’s band was recording at Jon Hazs’ music studio (same sound engineer that did Melissa Vaughan on our website). So as I always tell myself I will, I actually (!!!), went to Yoga and was feeling very good about myself for not being too obsessed with my work. And, as I slid into bed at 11:00 pm after sweating profusely in a room with 20 other people thinking, “dang, should I shower???, ah I need to shower but I am too tired”….. then…. there it was. Just as I was starting to feel like a normal person. Not “a so in love with my job I live, breathe, and eat it person,” I slid into my cozy unmade bed and …… a 100 gig mini hard drive in between my sheets! It must have been left there from my “editing whilst watching crappy tv” session from the night before. I had to laugh to myself. And then realized I just had to bust open my laptop to share with all of you, my hundreds upon hundreds of wonderful friends who would know EXACTLY what I am talking about.
Here is my question to you…. this doesn’t undo all my downward dogs right? I mean those still count if I am on my laptop in bed an hour later contemplating turning on my crappy tv shows and possibly doing some editing???? Or maybe I should shower……

So I know that Marissa is going to be modest and not shout this to the world, but I’m her business partner, and I’m allowed to brag on her behalf. I am just SOOO proud… she won an award of excellence in the print competition at WPPI this year! You may recognize this shot that made its way into the October edition of Rangefinder. Riss, I am so proud to be called your ‘bitner’ – thanks for pushing me toward excellence every day. xoxo, KW
PS – ‘bitner’ is the word Marissa uses to describe me (short for business partner… I know, I know, we’re quirky… but you still love us, right?) 😉 Also, here are a few more shots from the Trade Show:
AND… one last thing (because we’re loving video blogging these days)…
This is Marissa’s VERY FIRST VIDEO!!! (Once again, just oh-so-proud!) 😉
New WPPI Adventure for the Boudoir Divas Crew from Boudoir Divas on Vimeo.
This week was so full of activity… from the workshop to the KISS demo shoot, then the Trade Show and all the WPPI events – it was a crazy 9 days in Vegas! In the midst of it all, we took an evening to CELEBRATE the launch of our new product. We assembled a few friends (and our biggest sponsors) for the “Divas Dinner Party” to celebrate the Posebook. Thank you so much to all of our friends & sponsors who were able to make it to our dinner. We are SO very thankful for all that you have done for us this past year. Thanks for your support and for believing in us and our crazy dreams! 🙂 xoxo, Kimberlee & Marissa
Kevin Swan wrote the Foreword to our Posebook!
And DJ wrote the Foreword to the new edition of our original book!
Can’t believe today is already the LAST DAY of the Trade Show!! We’ve already had lots of people stop by this morning to purchase our products… I think everyone realizes this is the last chance to snag our stuff! 🙂 We’ll be announcing our NEW PRODUCT by the end of the day, so if you’re not at the Trade Show, you’ll have a chance to see what it is! Here are a few shots from the past few days at the show… On day 1, we wore the most obnoxiously-neon-bright-pink high heels – so much fun! 🙂
Here we are in front of the October Rangefinder cover (which featured our article & images!)

Working on our KISS demo shoot images – at the blogger’s lounge yesterday:
It’s been SO great to meet all of you guys who stopped by our booth.
It’s been so wonderful to have the opportunity to meet all of these wonderful photographers! Thank you so much for all of you who have stopped by our booth to say hi. We’ve been SUPER busy at the booth, and thankfully we’ve got an amazing team here to help us out! If you haven’t had a chance to stop by yet, be sure you swing on over to say hello… AND to check out our new product that we JUST LAUNCHED!!! 🙂
Wow, this past week has been a total whirlwind. The workshop and KISS demo shoot were a LOT of fun, and we really enjoyed ourselves! In fact, these images from the demo are some of our favorite photos ever! We wish we had more time to blog today… We are hoping we can sneak away from our booth (#434) for just a moment to go to the blogger’s lounge and post photos of all the fun happenings. Ok, so just a few of our favorite shots from the KISS demo shoot…
We are so sorry to say that our books didn’t arrive from the printer last week as they were supposed to. We sincerely apologize to all you who are waiting on them. We will send them out the second they arrive. Wish we had more control over the situation, we know you all have been waiting patiently. This time we ordered a ton so we won’t make anyone wait in the future.
***EDIT TO ADD: BOOKS ARE HERE!!!!!!!! They are on their way to you now… thank you so much for your patience, everyone!
