I won a special boudoir photoshoot with Mina, and the experience was amazing!! As someone who's…read morestruggled with body image and self confidence before, I wasn't sure if I'd feel comfortable taking such intimate photos. Mina, and her makeup artist, Luis, made me feel comfortable with the whole experience. It felt like I was getting the princess treatment between having my hair and makeup done, and getting to choose from the beautiful client lingerie collection. Once it was time for the photoshoot to begin, Mina was great at showing me how to pose, and made sure to fix my hair or pose so she could get the best pictures possible. Mina edited the photos from my session, and they turned out incredibly beautiful! I am so happy with them! The experience of taking these boudoir photos helped me feel so beautiful, sexy, and confident in my skin. Thank you, Mina!

I settled right in and Monica (Lanett's very talented makeup/hair stylist) started on my hair and makeup immediately. She did a beautiful job. Since this was my first time doing a boudoir photo shoot I felt the usual nerves. Lanett really helped ease my insecurity. From hand to foot placements, she did an awesome job at guiding me through the entire shoot. I honestly do not think anyone else could have done a better job with this. Walking away from the studio I had a huge smile on my face and was so happy with the experience. A few weeks later, I made an appointment for the photo reveal and picked out the pictures I wanted for my album and digitals. This was very exciting and fun! My album arrived today (about 7 weeks after the shoot) and I am in awe. The photos are absolutely gorgeous! Lanett is an amazing photographer and knew exactly how to make the pictures shine at their very best. If you are looking for a boudoir photographer who is fun, friendly, professional, easy going, and passionate about her work, Lanett is who you should schedule your shoot with. You will not be sorry. :)

I stopped by Santa Fe Book Store / Adult Novelties and let's just say... I was impossible to miss…read more I showed up in my full over-the-top sissy outfit--frilly blue dress, bows, stockings, and yes, sky-high pink heels--already feeling ridiculous and wobbling my way through the door. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was surprisingly welcoming. No awkward stares, no judgment--just a kind of amused, friendly energy that made it easier to lean into the moment. The owner especially stood out. Instead of being weirded out, they seemed genuinely entertained and supportive, which somehow made my already clumsy, padded waddle even more noticeable (and a lot more embarrassing in the best way). The store itself is well-stocked with a huge variety of toys, outfits, and accessories, and I ended up browsing way longer than I expected. Trying to balance in heels while carrying my picks definitely added to the chaos, but honestly, that just made the experience more memorable. If you're looking for a place that's open-minded, a little playful, and doesn't take things too seriously--even when you show up dressed like that--this spot delivers. I left feeling equal parts mortified and amused... which, for me, means it was a perfect visit.

The parking lot is clean and well lit. The store is clean and that includes the "arcade" area which, in most adult stores, are absolutely filthy. As a woman and a woman married to and dating other women, I am completely comfortable shopping here. The staff treats me/us very well and doesn't sexualize our girl/girl relationship and treat me/us differently. They have a good selection of toys, movies, outfits and magazines. They even buy old adult magazines to be packaged and resold.

I purchased a Groupon for Dream In Blue Photography as research to find the best Denver boudoir…read moreexperiences for my clients. Personally, I have never had a male boudoir photographer and decided to give Mark a try. I recently had surgery and this was my first boudoir shoot after recovery, so this was a special occasion! Booking and completing the online consultation was easy. I had the advantage of already being familiar with boudoir, but for anyone who is hesitant to try for whatever reason, the virtual consult is sure to put your nerves at ease. My first impression of Mark was that he is very professional and respectful. You can tell that his mission is clear and he wants his clients to have full control over what they want out of boudoir. Everything was explained clearly and I was left with zero questions. On the date of the shoot, I was able to find Mark's studio with ease. There is ample parking as it is in a neighborhood, and the unit itself is located in a gated condo community. He came down to greet me. Upon entering the unit, I was greeted by his makeup artist and she got straight to work while Mark went upstairs to give us privacy. Both Mark and the artist made me feel very comfortable and, bonus points -gave me deejay power. The makeup artist was very flexible and didn't ask a slew of questions when I told her that I didn't have any expectations. I don't own a lot of makeup and wearing it is even more rare, so it was a nice change of pace to have someone truly use my face as a canvas. I am super pleased with the results and was able to wear it to dinner that same night! As for the shoot itself, Mark conveyed his instructions well while considering what I wanted from the shoot. At no point did I feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or insecure. He encouraged taking my time and didn't force me to do anything that I didn't want to do or was physically incapable of doing because holy cow -boudoir is a workout. Anyway, it took a little while for photo editing but it was worth the wait! An additional appointment was required for the reveal, and it was very challenging to pick my favorites since Mark did an amazing job. As for payment, Mark was super patient and understanding with me despite a few financual curveballs. Once paid in full, I received my boudoir photos, elegantly displayed in a photo album. The extra goodies (chocolate and a yeti cup) lends a luxurious feel, all packaged in a gift bag. Everything was so well done! I am pleased to report that the entire process from start to finish was effortless, and I highly recommend Dream In Blue Photography!

You'd…read morethink I personally ruined his life by trying to make a return, a thing that normally is okay for unused/unworn merchandise at a retail store. Tried to return shoes purchased two days earlier and the cashier, Emilo (I don't think that was really his name, refused to show me his name tag) acted like they had been run over by a semi truck and thrown into a river. They hadn't been worn besides trying them on in the store. He said they were filthy, and I tried pointing out the dirt on the bottom was on ALL the shoes in the store... because the ground... is dirty. He refused to do the return and acted as if giving me the $14 back was going to ruin his life or something. He also said I didn't have the Ross tags. I removed them from the shoes and showed them to him, and he got defensive again and said "well, they've pretty obviously been worn." The size sticker was literally still on them, laces tight and tied, and purchased literally two days ago. So to reiterate, unworn/unused merchandise can't be returned I guess. Clearly dude needed a win, so I just bought the other items I came for, took the shoes back, and left. I feel sad for Emilio, it's a bummer he needed to bully a young woman to feel better about himself today. Someone should give that guy a hug, or maybe some therapy. Security guard was nice though! Acted like a normal human being and such. Besides the dirt being on the bottom of the shoes in the store (oh my god.... how abnormal and disgusting!) store is fine. I went ahead and added pictures of the bottom of some shoes... try to guess which ones I was attempting to return. Winner gets to give Emilio a hug and tell him he's doing a good job.

She had raved about her experience then and I was excited to take my own dress here. Even with Covid, they were very sweet and accommodating, gave me excellent advice regarding how we should take a few things in (the top front/back of my dress was ALL illusion paneling and I wanted to be able to lift my arms) and they really knocked it out of the park. They took excellent care of me and my dress was PERFECT. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the pricing as well. I was prepared to pay a solid $1k more than I was charged due to the delicate nature of my dress. You're in the best hands here. You and your dress will be thrilled with the results!

I purchased my wedding dress from Little White Dress and, on their recommendation, was referred to…read moreDonna Beth Creations for alterations. They even scheduled an on-site consultation at Little White Dress, where I assumed I'd get a quote. Instead, before any work began, Donna Beth required a $1200 payment upfront via Zelle. She presented herself as "the best in the business," so I went ahead with it, trusting the recommendation. I only saw Donna Beth once, during that initial consultation at Little White Dress. After paying, all my subsequent check-up fittings took place at her studio in Cherry Creek, where she wasn't present. Instead, I was handed off to her assistants. This was disappointing, especially since my alterations were relatively simple--just taking in the dress and shortening it slightly. When it came time to pick up the dress, none of the changes had been done correctly. With only three days until I was scheduled to leave for my destination wedding in Cabo, my dress was still too long and about an inch too big in the waist. After they reassured me they'd work overnight, I returned the next day, but the fit was still off. I ended up spending three hours in her shop while her assistants & seamstress kept running the dress back & forth to the back making rushed adjustments. The experience was stressful and disheartening. At one point, I was even calling other alteration specialists for help out of sheer frustration. It was clear Donna Beth was more focused on an upcoming runway show than on her customers. In the end, my dress was wearable, and my wedding in Cabo was beautiful, but my experience with Donna Beth Creations was the only part of my wedding process that brought me to tears. I would not recommend this vendor to future brides.
