Question: I need ideas for a Classy/Sexy photo shoot.?

I have a photo shoot in 3 weeks and just wanted some ideas from other people. I am 5'10 and weigh 145 lbs. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I need some ideas about clothes and make up. I have modeled many times but I have always been given the clothes to wear and have always had my make up done! This is all up to me this time and I would love to hear everyone's ideas. The location of the photo shoot is a 3 story beautiful home with large swimming pool with fountain. I am looking for classy but yet very sexy approach. Nothing trashy and un-tasteful.

Answer: a nice long red dress, black heels, wavy hair?

Question: How do interior designers hide lamp cords?

Bust open any copy of Martha Stewart Living, or House Beautiful, or Fancy Shmancy Living, and it becomes immediately apparent that the owners of these Beautifully Decorated Homes do not have lamps, phones, or other electronic equipment with power cords. Is there really a way to hide them in a normal home, or are they just hidden away for the photo spread?

Answer: Being Martha, it's entirely possible that she had a receptacle installed in the floor directly under the lamp. That's a possibility, and I'd guess very likely. You can do that if you like, but remember-real people don't have her budget to move the outlet and patch the floor when we rearrange the furniture. Floor outlets do work nicely though. Hope this helps.

Question: Where can I find free used magazines...?

I am looking for anything related to architect, house designs, house plans, wood projects, home designing magazines or books. I can not afford subcriptions and I would love to take old to new magazines/books in good condition for my interest, but where can I find them? I tried posting on Craigslist, and no luck
Some of the magazines that I am interested are:
Architectural Digest
Dwell
Residential Architect
Fine Homebuilding
Custom Home
Remodeling
Interior Design
Architecture Week
Architecture
House Beautiful
This Old House
Fine Woodworking

Answer: Try the local library. I know ours gives theirs away after awhile
