A Whole New Kammi!

Notice anything different?

Does my blog not look...um...amazing? (well, maybe not amazing, but a lot better!)

Finally, after a three month wait, I have a brand new computer! I no longer have to prop up my screen on a vase to use it! No more back aches from hunching over my make-shift ipad!

Oh, and it sure feels nice to actually type on a computer instead of lugging a giant external keyboard and mouse around because I literally typed the keys off the old one!

Clearly, I'm feeling much better!

 
Check out those super cute panties I wore yesterday! Another vintage-esque pair, black and white striped and cut like an old-fashioned swimsuit - this style is tough to pull off unless you have very long legs, (which I do), as it tends to make women looks shorter. Or so Cosmo tells me.

I shot THREE photo-sets for upcoming auctions for upcoming auctions yesterday at my friend Ava's house (you think I'd live in a place with windows like that? My room doesn't even have windows!) - and one set for the lucky gentleman who's receiving my ever-popular cherry-print panties!


I'm still working on moving all my panty photos from my old computer, so I only have access to a limited supply, right now. But, lucky for you, along with a new computer, comes a new auction!



Click the above link to go straight to the auction - and the "Panties of the Week," feature has finally been updated! These are the lacy, pink panties Amaya and I have been trying to photograph for a week, but haven't gotten sufficient light. Don't they look great in Ava's high rise?


I ended up (blah!) having to pay for a Flickr account to get even a portion of the photos up on ebanned! Little known fact - you know how Flickr has a photo limit on uploads? Well, it applies even if you take down photos to remove more space! I ended up removing all the images from the last auction for the blue, sparkly panties - 

 (remember my cool red highlights?)

...and still getting stuck with no room to upload! Thanks a lot, Flickr, for being the only photo hosting services that accepts anything close to nudity!
Hopefully, these pink lace panties will make up the difference (hint, donation button, hint). I was milling around the House of Lounge (a lingerie shop in New Orleans) website, and think my sheer pink panties sort of resemble this look - what a striking images, too -

 And the white socks are fantastic - I put up a link to House of Lounge on the blog, as well (again, hint, hint)! Anyway, my friend Joelle from New Orleans took all of yesterday's photos and we have extra that I'm holding aside in case I need to throw up additional "incentive" to garner a good price on the pretty pink beauties. We took lots of full-body shots in Ava's gigantic windows...hell, I'll throw one up here, as an example - 




 Shooting at Ava's house is always particularly luxurious, but sadly, the fun is soon over - Ava is moving to New York at the end of the month and Joelle, who takes the best photos, returns to New Orleans on Saturday! Leaving me, Kammi, back with Amaya and the gallery...and the looming rent (yes, I mean August's rent...)

In addition to updating the slideshow portion of the blog, I'm thinking of adding two new photo-related features...a slideshow of "upcoming panties" and a slideshow of "lost loves" (panties who have found new homes!) For now, there's just a sneak peek of next week's panties...and I'm actually deciding between two pairs!

Example A:


Cotton panties with lace lining and...get this...the fabric is actually printed with little panties! Well, "bikini bottoms" would be more accurate, you get the picture! Brings a whole new meaning to "bikini-style" panties!

Example B:




I've been photographed in these black, lace thongs for quite a while. But I happened to be wearing a black and red outfit yesterday and they matched exactly! I threw them in my bag and Joelle and I took a ton of photos in front of the windows overlooking the city - some of the best images I've ever taken!

Thongs always seem to sell extremely well, but black panties are never hot items! I'm wondering if I can strike a balance!

It's already past midnight and I still totally recovered from last weekend's insanity - or checked my emails! I've got plenty more updates, but they'll have to wait until tomorrow!


Good night and keep in touch!

Further Trials, Further Tribulations

Problems continue to ensue.

I hate my computer, I hate Panasonic and I hate Fed-Ex! I've been waiting on a new computer for THREE MONTHS! It was supposed to arrive in May!

And my hair is no longer red-streaked...sad. It was starting to turn orange-ish so I tried dark blue - a really pretty color! But when it washed out, the highlights basically disappeared and now my hair is all black. Not red. Not blue. And I don't have the money to have it re-bleached, so I'm stuck with it, for now.

Sorry, red-streak fans.

Not to mention, today's photo shoot was a complete bust! Not a single usable image! This is the best shot - 


Look at the lighting! This was in super bright sunlight! I burnt my feet on the asphalt! And see? No blue highlights!

What a terrible day. In lieu of continuing to complain, I'm signing off, now.

Hope for better spirits tomorrow!

Kammi needs rest!

While I'm usually quick to respond to emails/auction news/blog updates, I have to apologize for my lack of communication the past few days! This is due to - 

A.) My sprained toes (which are almost healed!)
B.) Preparation for yesterday's exhibition
C.) Literal "technical difficulties," i.e. my broken computer

Thankfully, my BRAND NEW computer will be here on Tuesday, meaning I can upload photos in under the current wait time of two hours, answer emails easier, and keep my online life running in general.

Also!

After some consideration, I decided this blog should focus more on panties (hence the title) and less on "Kammi's random musings." Expect a major content shift in the next few days!

I also hope to figure out how to use this cheap miniature tripod, in order to present you, dear reader, with more photos, rather than hunting a daily photographer! 

I'm exhausted after the weekend - two entire days without sleep! - so, I'm going to be early. I'll be back first thing tomorrow!
