What’s Sexy Now | Las Vegas Beauty & Boudoir Photography
It’s been awhile since I posted a What’s Sexy Now installment. I thought posting one now would be a great way to ring in the New Year! This one features a very special guest, someone I have admired for some time now for her amazing fashion sense as well as her mad writing skills…the lovely, Laura Coronado.
What makes a woman sexy?
I think self-love makes a woman sexy. A woman who loves herself unconditionally – body and soul – is a woman who exudes sex appeal. And frankly, a woman who loves herself is easy to fall in love with. Confidence, strength, resilience and self-belief also make a woman sexy, but these things all stem from self-love.
Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
Right now I think Sofia Vergara is the sexiest woman on earth. She laughs and smiles a lot. You can tell she is loving her life, and that’s super sexy. I also think Rita Moreno and Sophia Loren from the 1960s era were extremely sexy. Voluptuous with dark exotic features, that’s what I want to look like as a woman.
Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
The 1980s movie “Two Moon Junction” always sets me on fire. The tale of a pristine southern belle falling for a muscular, rugged, manly man who drives a rig and works at carnival and gets her to explore her passions and desires just really appeals to me. It’s like a naughty fairytale. Forbidden lust is hot.
Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
The song “Say Goodbye” by Dave Matthews never fails to get me in the mood. Again, the theme is forbidden lust. The song is about platonic friends who are attracted to each other allowing themselves one night of pleasure together and saying goodbye in the morning, sharing a sexy secret forever. It’s a fantasy I’d love to act out with my hubby. (Grabbing my bucket list now!)
Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
Two words: Tom Ford! And I mean all of it – cosmetics, accessories, fragrance and the women’s fashion. The man is a magician, and everything he does for women is done with the intention of making us feel sexy. He succeeds at that, too!
Sexy destination:
This may sound crazy, but for me, New Orleans is one great town for getting down. I don’t know if it’s the swamp humidity in the air, or the sensual jazz music, or the hurricane cocktail drinks – or all of it combined together! But New Orleans puts me in a really sexy mood.
What makes you feel sexy?
There are three things I do to make me feel sexy, and each is done to put focus on what I think are my three best physical attributes. One, because I have green eyes, I apply my eyeliner as perfectly as possible and wear loads of mascara. This puts extra emphasis on my eyes. My husband loves that and I feel like a sex kitten. Two, I’m luckily, naturally endowed. And I am not shy about showing off the girls. I love revealing a bit of cleavage. It makes me feel very womanly. Lastly, I have a derriere that complements my bust line. So I love to shake my hips while dancing, or jut a hip out while standing or innocently bend over. My husband loves my round behind, and when we’re out together and he rests his hand on the area where my butt protrudes from my lower back, I feel like he’s claiming ownership of it, and that makes me feel irresistible and desirable.

What’s Sexy Now Series | Las Vegas Boudoir
It is rare for me to find boutique style stores in Vegas that I adore, but when I stepped inside Patty’s Closet I fell in love immediately! They carry fashionable items in limited quantity so you can be sure you aren’t going to show up to the same event with 10 other girls wearing the same outfit! I love that! And, I was so impressed with how helpful they are there! They always make sure you find just the right things! The more I learned about the store and the owner, Patricia Barba, the more I knew I had to have her as a guest in our What’s Sexy Now series!
Please help me welcome Patricia!

What’s Sexy Now Series | Las Vegas Boudoir
This installment of What’s Sexy Now features a great gal most of you should be familiar with by now, Hera Beauty’s makeup extraordinaire, Kat Ludens. Kat gives some great answers here and proves that she not only has an amazing sense of style but also that she knows her music, as some of you have experienced from listening to her cool playlists while she has done your makeup. By the way Kat, #1 Crush is one of MY all-time fav ‘sexy’ songs too!
- What makes a woman sexy?
I think passion, self-esteem, and attitude makes a woman sexy. Sexy doesn’t have to be about big boobs or long hair, it’s all about how you feel and carry yourself. I’ve met plenty of women who look gorgeous but are obsessed with their flaws and I’ve met women who look at their flaws and accept and embrace them! Happiness is the key, and a genuine, happy outlook is always much sexier than the constant search for perfection. (And a lot less tiring, I imagine!) Passion is also sexy- no matter what you are passionate about, from shoes to Star Wars, if it’s something you love, keep loving it and let the world know you love it, even if it requires flying your freak flag high! - Famous female that most embodies sexy to you:
Oh… do I have to just pick one? I love Gwen Stefani for her fashion sense- no one else rocks the platinum blonde pomp, red lips and girl-who-hangs-with-boys attitude. I love Pink for being the badass girl who can ask her man to marry her, looks even hotter with pixie hair, and looks like she’d be fun to have a drink with. And I love Gaga for just putting it all out there, no matter how crazy, no matter what anyone else thinks, and being passionate about her art. - Favorite sexy film or literature (or both):
I don’t know if I really have a favorite, but here are a few that stand out to me! Movie: Boxing Helena- a dark and twisty romance about obsession, deception, and amputation. Book: The Lover- another dark and twisty romance about obsession, an impossible affair, and sexual awakening. Book & TV: True Blood. What’s not to love about Vampires, werewolves and a telepathic waitress? Plus, the show casts the hottest actors. If you’re not watching, you’re missing out! - Song or Album that never fails to put you in a sexy mood:
I think I have to go with some classic albums:
Enigma, MCMXC, A.D. – This album’s moody atmosphere, slow beats and breathy whispers make it an instant sexy classic! There is also something about the French lyrics that just ooze sexy. (Check out this key track: Principles of Lust: Sadeness)
Madonna, Erotica - Madonna released this album and her Sex book around the same time, generating major flack from critics and the general public. Personally, I think this is one of her best albums ever and so, so sexy. In fact, I had to buy this album 3 times because it keeps getting taken from my collection! (Key tracks: Erotica, Where Life Begins, Fever)
Also, here’s a couple of sexy songs:
Conjure One: Sleep
Bliss: Kissing
Lamb: Gorecki
Garbage: #1 Crush - Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy:
Black, patent leather Louboutin heels, nude stilettos, lots of eyeliner, and glossy lips! - Sexy destination:
An overwater bungalow on a white sand beach, or a private cabin in the woods! - What makes you feel sexy?
Being loved and loving back!
Below are some images Kat found online to go along with her answers above (she selected some pretty incredible imagery, didn’t she?):

What’s Sexy Now Series | Las Vegas Boudoir
I am proud to present Kati Walker as our latest guest for the What’s Sexy Now Series. I met Kati awhile back when her very generous husband gave her a photo session with me as a gift. These two have kept in touch with me since then and I am proud to call them good friends now. They are such great people! I have always admired Kati’s style, spunk and creativity – she’s an amazing artist!!! So, it felt right to introduce her to all of you here:
Business Name: Kati Walker Art
Website URL: www.katiwalkerart.com
Owner: Kati Walker
My name is Kati Walker and I am a Cave Creek artist specializing in children’s wall art and murals. I create custom pieces of acrylic painting on canvas depicting kids’ favorite things: dance wall art, fairy wall art, ballerina wall art, princess wall art, sports wall art, transportation wall art, dinosaur and reptile wall art and much more. I also do large-scale murals depicting some of the same themes. You name it, I can create it!
I also love painting large-scale florals. I love to find beautiful buds or flowers in bloom and re-create in a bold, bright and colorful painting! The pieces are very modern.
My kids are my biggest inspiration. When they were little and I was decorating their rooms, I found it next to impossible to find one of a kind original artwork that was different and cute! I grew up drawing and painting and decided to shift my focus to children’s artwork. Decorating my children’s bedrooms turned into decorating their friends’ bedrooms and so on.
I absolutely love what I do and adore being able to add that special touch to a child’s bedroom, a new nursery or any room in the house.

- What makes a woman sexy?
To me, a sexy woman is one who is confident, classy and stylish….and not only in the fashion sense. I mean, of course, a stylish outfit is hot but one can exude sexiness crawling out of bed, hair rumpled, tank top and shorty shorts if you know what I mean. I love self-confident women who are neither stuck up or demeaning but know the power of their own confidence.
- Famous female that most embodies sexy to you.
Fergie would have to top my list of super sexy women. She is soooo stylish, sophisticated, has an incredible fashion sense and exudes self-confidence. I love her risk taking and “put it out there” attitude.
- Favorite sexy film or literature (or both)
9 & ½ Weeks would have to be up there as one of the sexiest movies of all time. How could it not? But one of my all time favorites would have to be Pretty Woman and all that the movie embodies: a strong woman coming into her own, becoming self confident, creating her own destiny and ultimately, knowing what she wants that will make her happy and not taking no from anyone.
- Sexy Song, Artist or Album
Lots of hip hop songs are great for getting into that fun and flirty mood…I like Low, Smack That, Next Contestant, Lip gloss, OMG. Pit Bull, Black Eyed Peas, Ne-Yo, Houston, Britney Spears and Katy Perry are hot right now and loads of fun, too.
- Fashion trend, item or designer collection that you find sexy
I think heels are the ultimate accessory. I rarely wear them because I’m tall already, but when I do, it gives me that certain attitude that makes the outfit. I also love tasteful and beautiful, classy jewelry. As for fashion, I love dresses! My closet contains so many LBD’s that were made for going out with the girls or on a date night with my hubby!
- Sexy destination
Sexy destination? Vegas of course and Mexico. My husband and I frequent both places often. Love hanging at the pools sipping drinks all day then heading out at night for a little dancing…
- What makes you feel sexy?
Pretty clothes and good hair make me feel sexy, especially a good blowout. We all know that good hair makes for a great day! Also, my husband always makes me feel sexy. He makes me feel like the most beautiful princess in the world, pretty much every day.
Below are some images Kati found online to go along with her answers above (I am completely smitten with the Chanel jewelry – oh my!):
