Photoshoot Trendz

Hello Urban Women,

I have started to notice that a major trend this season is getting professional photo shoots. It might come as a surprise, but I am a major endorser of photo shoots may they be amateur, professional, or selfies. I have been building on my portfolio for years-Tyra Banks basically told me that my pics are too editorial for her show. If you are on a strict budget make sure you have mirrors everywhere you go-they can capture the moment just as good as any instantgram. Here are some totally creative new ideas for your next photoshoot!

WHY JUST BABIES?
These cutesie pics may look familiar. Traditionally photographers have stuck to putting babies in pots, slings, coffee beans and the like. I say be bold and throw yourself into a small container-this will inspire people to look beyond your tough urban exterior into your soft infantile heart.

FRUITY FLARE!
Anything that promotes health is part of the Urban lifestyle, so I say, why not turn it into a photo shoot. With a hint of sensuality you too can impact the eating habits of the next generation. I don't normally like to post piccies of myself, but this is a special one that one of my boy toys took during snack time.

JUMP ON IT!
This is the ever gorge Jenny from the block Garner...but I too find that when I straddle the couch I look ultra sexy. These types of impromtu photo shoots can show your glamourous edge while also exposing your casual hangin' out in the loft attitude. Try one at home. Some may like the zebra pantaloonies, but I find them slightly garrish. I would opt for a bedazzled low rider pair of boyfriend undies.

Job Search

Hello Urban Women,

Many of my readers have been really struggling to find a job since the global economic crisis and impending divorce of TomKat. I truly believe that it is all in how you presentate yourself and the first step is always the C.V. For those of you who don't know C.V. stands for Covert Vernacular. Based on this meaning it is totally legit to jazz your resume up to make yourself sound slightly better than you really are. Instead of telling y'all what to do I thought it would be better to attach a copy of my very own!

Pool Party-Urban Style

Hello Urban Women,

Summer has finally arrived and boi oh boi have I loved cruising through the city centre with my bikini top on with my drop top down. Summer is magical-if you want to knock your party planning up a notch this season try hosting one of my fab pool parties. Just follow these simple steps and you will be the star of your block.


Funny BBQ/Pool Party Ecard: That spray tan reminds me of the time I had jaundice too!


Step 1: Stop by your local dolla store and pick up 3-4 inflatable kiddy pools

Step 2: Jazz each one of your pools up to suit a super summer theme-here are some of the ideas I have tried:

  • Add some dishwasher soap to create a foam party pool
  • Add some food colouring (yellow is my fave) to create a pool that looks just like the planet Sun
  • Go to your local fish market and pick up some fresh mussles and lobster to create a tide pool of aquatic life
  • Dump a vat of cinnamon into one pool until it creates a film. When your guests get out of the pool not only will they be covered in a gorgeous bronze goddess type tan, but they will also be perfectly spiced for a sassy necking sesh later on!
Step 3: Set up a drink station where people can mix and match their own cocktails. Be sure to include sour puss, kool aid, beef bouillon, arbour mist, and saline solution. Think about using coconut skins to create fancy drinking receptacles and hollowed out golf balls as shooter glasses

Step 4: Consider splurging on a body paint station so your besties who forgot their swimsuits can get decked out in a cake-icing bikini or acrylic paint

Step 5: Invite all your best guy and gal pals

Step 6: Enjoy!

Funny Flirting Ecard: I caught my very own crabs!


Remember to douse yourself in baby oil to keep that skin looking wet all day long!

Until next time,

Urban Woman
