“I was a little nervous at first but Erica was absolutely wonderful. She made me feel so relaxed and was great at directing me. I couldn’t ask for more! I absolutely love my pictures. It makes you feel so sexy and when you see your final pictures, you have this overpowering feeling of self confidence.”

“I think a lot of women let their body-image insecurities dominate in situations like this. Letting go of that in such a private setting can be a great release, especially doing so with confidence in the photographer. Erica knows how to use this opportunity to play up all the beautiful things about you so that you can forget any ‘flaws’ you might otherwise feel you have. I believe everyone should do something like this sometime – even if no one but yourself ever sees the photos, the experience is liberating and the end results can show you all the beauty you might not know you have.”

“I felt like I was pampered in hair and make-up and then further made to feel like I was being pampered during the photo shoot. I was very comfortable and was given such great direction through-out the photo shoot. It was such an amazing and great experience! I think that this is one of the best ways to make yourself see how truly beautiful you really are. So many women have such terrible views of themselves. I know I did, but then I saw these photos and could not believe that is what I look like. I was blind before, I never knew that I could look like that.”

“Do this for preservation of your own beauty. Even if I didn’t intend to give this as a gift I would recommend that we all do this at least once in our lives to give ourselves a reminder of the beauty we each possess. Boudoir is intimate and beautiful, and every woman deserves to see themselves in this light.”

“This was something I wanted to do for myself and for my husband who had suggested me having it done a couple years ago. With my milestone 50th birthday soon arriving I wanted to have a 49 forever memory! Of course I was nervous about it and thought this was something brides would do for their husbands. But it was really a wonderful experience and Erica made me feel so comfortable and reassured me that I still looked like I was 21.”

“Women should do this for themselves, it is a good treat and an excellent way to make yourself feel great about who you are no matter what size. And on top of that you have some documentation of how sexy you can be.”

“This experience was extremely gratifying and powerful. I thought I would feel awkward and uncomfortable, instead I felt at ease and beautiful. Getting my hair and make up done made me feel like a celebrity and the poses were tasteful and carefully created to make me feel at ease.”

“I think it is an amazing confidence booster. Particularly for moms that never have a moment to themselves and just throw on whatever in the day to get through. You realize, I am still beautiful.”

“Every woman should do this at least once in her life. Going through the make up and photo session is amazing but the moment you open your gallery and see these beautiful images of yourself is beyond words. We all put so much pressure on ourselves to be thinner, smarter, be a better wife, get a promotion etc… that we rarely take a moment and think about how beautiful, intelligent and capable we are. Having a boudoir session gives you a moment to challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone and to see yourself as an amazingly beautiful woman.”

“Thank you for sending a couple pictures! I am absolutely thrilled with the results!! I was worried that all of my pictures would have a ‘deer in the headlights’ look since I was so nervous, but you did an outstanding job! I love how you fixed them up…I don’t see any stretch marks or bulges or any of my other imperfections. Thank you so much for such an incredible experience and for giving me photos that I can be proud to show off.”

“Oh, wow, they’re AMAZING!!! Thank you so much. They’re gorgeous. You did a beautiful job! I showed the previews to my husband and he loooooves them. I also sent the link to a good friend of mine (who I tried to talk into coming to the last marathon to no avail…) and she’s now booked for the next one!”

“I wanted to give my fiance a gift for our wedding that only he could truly appreciate. I thought that an album from a boudoir session would be a cute and unique gift. I think the images truly capture a woman’s beauty and encourage a special kind of confidence. I plan to have the album delivered to my fiance shortly before our wedding ceremony. I know he will be excited to see me after he receives it. I loved the way the images turned out. I think they captured a more glamorous version of myself but yet still looks like me.”

“The boudoir session was a very fun liberating  experience and confidence booster. Like most women, I can be pretty self-conscious about my body, but once I got into the session I was very  relaxed. I felt like a model!  Erica does a great job of making you feel comfortable and posing you in the most flattering ways. She helped me to feel completely confident, and that definitely shows in my images. I gave my boudoir album to my  husband on our wedding day. Our favorite photos are the ones where I am wearing my wedding night lingerie and pearls.”

Smart Ass Intimates sells thongs, thongs, and more thongs. But not just any old thongs–these are “thongs with attitude.”

Smart Ass Thongs sport high-spirited slogans across the backside of the ‘T-bar’ which gives them a unique vibe, and looks fabulous under low-rise jeans. So when you accidentally (or purposely) flash your thong, spectators will have something other than your butt cheeks to look at.

With a full selection of sassy catch-phrases including “Gold Digger”, “Domestic Diva”, “Eye Candy”, “Control Freak”, and “Party Girl” along with a slew of others–you’re sure to find a thong that fits your personality. There is a large selection of phrases to choose the perfect one for you or as a gift. These would be excellent for bridesmaids gifts as you can choose a saying to match their personality.

The intimate selections at Smart Ass Girls go beyond their signature thongs. They also offer camisoles, bikinis, and gal shorts via their Euro Trash and Smooth Operator collections. The Smooth Operator collection is made from stretch micro-fiber and cotton gusset; naturally wicking; and designed to make visible panty lines a thing of the past. This subtly sexy lingerie is only available in two colors–nude and black. The Euro Trash collection is made out of a soft mesh, and stretch lace fabric that’s perfect to wear during the summer months. This simple, but cute collection is available in a pink heart, or black scroll pattern.

All of the intimate collections are sold in S-XL. The lingerie found on Smartassgals.com aren’t terribly expensive. Prices ranged from $20.00 to $42.00 US-dollars.

The owners also have a charitable side, supporting “The Underwear Affair”. A 5k run/walk which you do in your underwear to raise money and awareness for all types of cancer that is ‘below the belt’. www.uncoverthecure.org

The one downside to the Smart Ass Thong collection is that they don’t come in sizes smaller than 4 or larger than 12 – which might make some women feel a little left out. But overall, the Smart Ass collection is a practical for everyday wear, feminine, and easy to maintain with a wonderful feel. So in honour of fantastic asses everywhere, we gave the collection “two thongs up!”
