Treating Myself!

Yikes! 


Maybe I was a little over-dramatic earlier when I practically gave panty-selling the boot! 


Speaking of boots, check out these really high-top sneaker boots I made at the Converse website:


The interior is yellow...they'd go great with, of course these:


Yes, the thrilling run on my yellow thong is over! My official goodbye:




I felt crappy all day and haven't slept, yet! I tried to steal some cute pics on the bus...






The sunglasses were definitely in order!

When I came home, I was aching from sleep deprivation...but wait? What's this? Two packages for me! The lingerie I ordered arrived!


It's rare that I label panties as unsellable - in fact, the panties I wore today are too cute to give up!




But these BRAND NEW panties I think I'm keeping! I'm in LOVE!




Such a gorgeous emerald green! With tiny cherries printed on the front!


AND!








Brand new (well, vintage) slip! With the Texas flag!


(I've never been to Texas...unless a tryst with a guy from El Paso counts...)


I love it so much! And it fits perfectly without a bra! Meaning I can wear it outside! If only it weren't getting cold so soon!


Except, after the excitement of my new lingerie faded, I started to feel a little off again...








Therefore, I've decided to halt all work until tomorrow and go RIGHT to bed!


After ice-cream.

Good News - Feeling (slightly) better!

Writing this while my nailpolish dries...

Just wanted to let everyone know it might be the euphoria from sleep deprivation, but I'm feeling a little better!

I might not be sick, after all!


Of course, I may feel like hell in a few hours, but let's all get down on our knees and pray for a SPEEDY recovery!

In the meantime, enjoy this video of me creeping out the camera with my "scary face":


Future plans - link to YouTube Channel, finish new and awesome "me" page, figure out some way to quickly let you know about blog "updates" ... pass the hell out!

Oh, and if anyone knows where to find (affordable) panties with laces that tie on the side, let me know! I want them! I just lost an ebay auction on a red pair!

And VOTE ON MY POLL, DAMMIT!

Gotta run! Be back (hopefully) later!

Bad news...I'm getting sick!

Hey guys!


Just wanted to give you a quick update...

As you know, I've been working overtime to keep making art keeping auctions going simultaneously - and it's catching up with me!


Admittedly, I'm a huge perfectionist and VERY hard on myself, so what's going on is probably self-induced! 

I'm REALLY overbooked with all that comes with panty-selling, trying to fill orders, update auctions, reply to emails, edit photos, write blog posts, etc. etc. etc.


In addition to now overdue freelance projects, delayed collective meetings, finishing an artist's book I started MONTHS ago, running a gallery, and everything else that comes with art-making!


(gallery installation in the background, performance artist in in the foreground)

Right now, I've got another all-night ahead of me and I'm EXHAUSTED! I stayed up all night two days, then slept 14 hours. 

As the NEW director of my gallery, it's my job to compile the rent and get it to our landlord in time. And, apparently, make sure the bills are paid, internet is running, respond to artist queries, clean the space and rent out vacant room. Which, obviously, is too much for one person to handle.

And then my phone broke. 

And I missed out on calling Illinois human services, my doctor, the pharmacy (yes, like many people, I take medication), the post office, the electric company, Panasonic (my new "tough"book isn't "tough" enough to withstand typing at 90 w.p.m.), the internet company, and my client waiting on a custom PowerPoint presentation, and, of course, my landlord!

Right now, I'm critiquing my friend's play I promised I'd help with months ago...and just started feeling a little bit off...

(About as "off" as this photo I took a while ago!)

I'm nauseous, sweaty, dizzy, achy - you know that "something's wrong" feeling you get before the flu hits?

Yeah, that's it.

I think I'm overstressed! 


(Yeah, I know I'm re-using photos...but do you really want to see me with my hair sticking everywhere and my face flushed - and not in a good way?)

I'm hoping it'll go away and I'll start feeling better soon! But be forewarned, if I disappear for a while, it's probably flu-related. And not that I'm ignoring you!


And I might need to slow it down just a bit with the panty/sock sales to prevent complete and total meltdown!

I mean, I haven't even opened opened my new copy of Dream Weaver - I could be learning CSS right now! And completely blowing your mind! And I haven't cleaned my room or organized my panty/sock supply in weeks! There's probably tons of stuff in there I don't even remember!



A little break might be in everyone's best interest! 

Of course, panty and sock shopping, wearing and selling is pretty addictive in itself...maybe I just need to pace myself...



After a little bed rest, of course!


 Cross your fingers and hope for a speedy recovery!
