Michelle's Story
My two biggest concerns about my shoot were what Zena and Leigh were going
to be like and showing them my flabby thighs! I guess I expected Leigh and
Zena to be a flamboyant and slightly weird couple, maybe verging on the
creepy. Thankfully, they are just normal, ordinary people.
Zena spent time putting my make up on and I chatted with them both so it
wasn't a case of just walking in and whipping my clothes off straight away!
After a while I almost forgot that I wasn't wearing any clothes and I even
plucked up the courage to pose without my lingerie. It helped that there
was no pressure and I could have stayed fully clothed if I'd wanted to.
After the shoot I felt, and still feel, so much more confident about my
body. I have always been extremely self-conscious about my body and, looking
at the pictures, I can now see that I may have been too self critical in
the past. My confidence has sky rocketed. I had planned to ask Leigh and
Zena to slim down my thighs when they came to do the airbrushing and the
editing, but now I quite like the fact that my body is my body, shapely
thighs as well!
My advice to anyone thinking of having a shoot would be DO IT! If possible,
have a nice hot bath before you go along, exfoliate and pamper yourself
to make you feel a bit sexier. Then remember that Leigh and Zena have seen
a billion bodies before of all different shapes and sizes and that you only
need to go as far as you want to in terms of stripping.
