I'm waiting to get all of the fab snaps from Todd V. Wolfson back. I took a few with my camera. Don't you just adore this lush new feathery hat? I'll put better ones up asap.
So while we are waiting for Todd V. Wolfson to send us fab photos let's have some goofy feather fun.
Thanks to all the models that came today. We had a blast!!
Our Model Casting is tomorrow at 1:00 see you there!
The lovely lady painting her finger nails was a friend of Steven Arnold's. At his art openings she was always so cool and sweet to me. She would always rave about how she loved the photos he did of me. His art events were quite the rave!! thatbeingsaid I'll try and post a few photos soon!
Oh and speaking of Boudoir Style my photography work has paid off . I got some fabulous news yesterday . More on this later ta... ta... for now.
Iris Apfel is 86, and she’s on Vanity Fair’s 2008 international best dressed list in its 69th year running, Quotable quote when asked what fashion item she cannot live without: “Do you have a favorite child?”

Director Paul Gandersman is having a model/actress call for the lead female role in the upcoming Murder My Sweet video "Just Like A Drug" please respond to www. myspace. com/murdermysweet all inquiries will be notified for a interview to follow. This event will probably be held at Boudoir Queen Studio Austin.
One of my doll clients from long ago Vintage*Belle is now one of my friends on myspace, She was nice enough to send me a picture of a couple of dolls that I sold her. These two doll's were on my top favorite doll list for sure!
As I've said before the Boudoir Doll clothes were the original inspiration for all that is Boudoir Queen. Note the rare old fabric on the blonde doll. It's the same fabric that is on my new Boudoir Be-decked Hoydens Jacket. It is from the 20's. You can't get anything that even compares to it new. You can also see that both dresses are dripping with metallic lace and a rhinestone headband as well.
So now you know my secret.
I'd like to introduce a new Boudoir Queen model. Betina from Berlin. You will be seeing a lot more of her. I promise!
This was my favorite costume in the movie The Duchess.

Is it true that L'Oréal Paris - Expert - Collier Strong got his first make-up artist job as my Assistant for Poor Little Rich Girl Cosmetics ? If you answered true then you would be correct. Collier was my first assistant when I had my Poor Little Rich Girl Line in Beverly Hills in the early 90's. I have followed his career over the years and am so proud that he has done so well. All of my clients loved him. I see him all the time on Project Runway, fashion police and I always smile.
I am actually very good at picking assistants who become famous or infamous. More on this in another blog.

These photos really remind mw of Faye.
So I'm very excited to announce we have a new Los Angeles Rep! New Stockist listings soon!
During my teenage years I grew up in a small town in California. My best friend's boyfriend just happen to be Michael Lockwood. We had some great times together and I have to say he taught me a lot about music. At the age of 17 he was listening to everything from Mick Ronson to Marilyn Monroe records. I ended up moving to Los Angeles and becoming a Make-Up artist and Lisa Marie was one of my client when I worked at Bruno and Soonie in Beverly Hills. Now the two of them are married with twins. Funny how life turns out huh?
Stay tuned for a blog on my famous assistant from my Bruno and Soonie Days.
Lisa Marie Presley and her husband, rocker Michael Lockwood, are now on double diaper duty.
They "welcomed two baby girls on Tuesday, October 7, by C-section at 2:46 p.m.," her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com. "The babies weighed 5 lbs., 15oz., and 5 lbs., 2 oz."
Adds the rep, "The babies and mom are happy and healthy and resting at home."
Rachel Zoe has fab style. Here is a photo of her with Molly Simms who bought several pieces from us .
If you have always wanted to be a Boudoir Queen Model now is your chance! We are looking for 10 female models with runway and print experience for a large event with an expected 1200 plus crowd. This event will take place in Austin in December. Please contact us for further information.
Cheers, Dawn Younger-Smith Boudoir Queen
P.S. If you have modeled for us before and are available please drop me a message.
We have about 15 new cuffs that we will be listing and then it's over! We will not be making them anymore due to knock offs. We might do a couple here and there at some point in time. They are also available at Show Pony and Madley in L.A.
I was shocked to see that if you type in BOUDOIR Cuff on Etsy a bunch of knock offs turn up. I find it interesting because cuffs have nothing to do with the word Boudoir. A cuff is not a "Boudoir" item. I obviously use the word because it's part of my name and my name stems from boudoir dolls.
We also have something new up our sleeve that we will be introducing to our line in a couple of weeks. So stay tuned.
This is my favorite BQ dress and it's finally for sale on Etsy!!
These fabulous Louis Vuitton shoes shown on the runway in Paris yesterday go perfectly with my new collection!
The always divine John Galliano. I think without the wigs they clothes are gorgeous and very wearable. Get over it people!
Photo shoot with models coming soon!
