Bad (and some good!) news from the Bedside

I woke up...still sick.


Yeah, I know, outdated photo. But I guarantee no one wants to see me in this state! Aside from the usual puffy sick face, I got a grain of sand in my eye yesterday...for, like, the entire day. Thus, my eyes, which I've been told are a true asset:




...are now red and watery. Everyone thinks I've been crying!


On the contrary! Before I got swept with sudden sickness last night, I'd been having a lovely time hanging out with my boyfriend, whom I don't see nearly enough. In my brand new green panties!




Sadly, I found the thong equivalent on ebay, but slept through the auction! 


Speaking of news - I've got some sad (and good!) announcements.


Let's start with the sad news.

1. After my current sock auction ends today-




...I will offer another similar pair. Then, my much coveted Keds - 




After that, I'm discontinuing foot-fetish auctions.



This is a real disappointment. I love making sock videos and may make a few, just for "kicks!" But the cons outweigh the pros.


1.) I personally prefer dark-colored socks (so does my bf), own very few pale pairs.
2.) Although I buy new socks every fall, I get attached! I hate parting with them!
3.) Most important, I've never had any unpleasant interactions with fetish-buyers...until I started offering socks. Granted, this doesn't apply to everyone - I've met a few very cool sock fetishists, but a few bad apples ruined the bunch.




I think it may have something to do with socks and their associated odor being considered base or cheap (more so than panties), but I've never had my ethics questioned until recently. From what I hear, there's much unethical selling going on in the fetish business already (photo-stealing, fake items, back-stabbing), and being grouped in with such people is upsetting enough to remove myself, entirely.


I don't take well to accusations of "scamming" particularly when they seem intended to manipulate me. 


Yeah, I'm slightly new to selling my own wares. And I may look innocent.




But I'm not naive. 


I'm still happy to work with polite, considerate individuals on a one-on-one basis (and may even change my mind in the future), but when it comes to the point when I'm up late, with a fever, ruminating over a rude e-mail, it's not worth it. 


 
Moving on...

Because of my current sickness, I'm going to hold off on preparing any orders. At first, I was excited about shipping out extra sweaty panties. Then, I realized I didn't intend "surprise" add-ons to include the flu virus! 

On a better note - 


I should be fully recovered by Tuesday and am bouncing back with a new auction (debutante-themed!) for some silky panties, by popular request!




PLUS a new, re-vamped "About Me" page on ebanned! I've written the text and even took some new photos - 




But I need to do a quick photo edit for color correction and edit the text to further clarify rules on correspondence (i.e. a "no jerks allowed" policy). Plus, I'm hoping to add cool html graphics!


Also...


I was originally intending to hold on to these panties - 




 ...and surprise my boyfriend! But, alas, he caught a premature glimpse yesterday, and the surprise was ruined. 


Expect to see more of them soon!
