Wow, that’s sexy. What was Beyonce doing?

In the Partition video, “Yonce” is exhibiting a style of sensual expression called “boudoir.” A boudoir is a lady’s private bedroom, sitting room, or dressing room. The term comes from the French verb bouder, meaning “to be sulky.” The term boudoir can also describe a style of photography. The theme “creates a sensual image of the subject ‘in boudoir style,’ most popularly, candid photos of the individual partly clothed or in lingerie. Nudity is typically implied/suggested. Photo subjects participating in boudoir are typically inspired by upcoming wedding days, anniversaries or birthdays. Other popular reasons are Valentine’s Day, recent weight loss or surgery or for servicemen/women overseas.

Today, let’s talk about what Queen Bey has taught me about Boudoir and being sexy.

1. We Can Do It All Year Long.

The great part about it is that there doesn’t need to be a special occasion. If you wake up feeling sexy one morning, pull out your cute undies for evening time. If the two of you have a day off, spend it home alone together. Sometimes we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, and forget the sexy things.

Boudoir is a great way to ease into spicing up your love life. If you’re single, it is empowering to know that you can still be sexy for yourself. Understanding what makes you feel your best is a key component in building a healthy relationship. Pick a free day when you’re not expecting any company. Designate it as you time.

2. I Don’t Have to Buy Anything

Use what you have at home; a bath robe, sexy PJ’s – or even just bra and panties that look cute together. My favorite sexy home look is thigh-high socks, boy shorts and a comfy tee. Enjoy the soft fabric across your skin. Revel in the little things.

3. My Partner Can Join

Okay, so I can’t dance like Beyonce in her Louboutin heels. I can, however, practice a few moves in the mirror while she sings. If he’s still shy about participating, he sure can watch…

4. Sometimes, Bedhead is Sexy

My unruly afro doesn’t always make for a sexy, curly look when I get out of bed. One solution I’ve found is a flirty satin scarf or headband.

Let your hair peek out somewhere; either through the top or out the front.  You’ll look even sexier when your partner doesn’t have to wait three hours for you to get ready. 😉

5. I Am Sexy

In “Partition,” Bey is daydreaming about doing something frisky for her man. I realized after watching the video, that we all universally want the same things. No matter what, shape, size, skintone, height, hair texture – your partner is going to find you sexy regardless. Why not give him/her a little treat?
