Uploading my Computer to an Early Grave

Kammi is back in business!

My break from panty selling is officially over!

I finally posted a new auction for some pink silky panties...

And...get a load of this - you know how I usually place strategic stars over my pubic hair via Flickr's rules? Well, I did so...and idiotically didn't save the original! 

I went through it on Photoshop and Microsoft paint - but can't find the file! I fear it's doomed for life!


But I'll get back to my pink panties, later - it's almost 10 am and I've been working around the clock and haven't slept, yet! They customary post whenever I post a new auction - plus tons of blog revamps and piles of emails needing responses!


(and it's so lame to find the ice cream sandwich you've been saving stolen from the freezer, just when you want to reward yourself!)

It did want to let you know I FINALLY finished my new "about me page" on ebanned and, as I like to do, recorded a special video for "Adventures in Panties" followers!

(this, like everything else, will take an eternity to upload - and notice how I reference a blog post from, like, weeks ago!)


I didn't end up learning the html animation I'd hoped to apply to my page, but I still think it look pretty snazzy - you can check it out here!


Also, because I love debutantes, I recently entered a lame neighborhood beauty pageant on the platform of being one of like, five contestants actually living in the neighborhood - I'd give you the link but it quite readily notes my actual name, as well as home address! I know it's lame, but I'm trying to raise money for the gallery - which is in much better shape! But pageant woes are a post for another day.


Expect another future post about how it'd be nice if our former roommates hadn't screwed us out of over $1000 in rent and bills. Although the space looks a lot better since they moved out - 

Though the prospect of small claims court isn't too thrilling..

But my real subject of today's discussion was my new "me" page - and I'd love to hear any opinions! Of course, I had to mention the copyright infringement that's been going on (the same seller I mention is back and even more egregiously ripping me off - and sort of hinting it's her own idea - I should bring this up later, as it enrages me to think about).


But here are a few outtakes, you may enjoy - at least, I think they're outtakes - I can't remember which photos I used!

 This one made my face disappear.

This is a great shot of my ass in my favorite panties...but I prefer my face to appear!

 This makes my stomach look bizarre.

This, I think I actually used...and lost the original, again!

My computer sucks and really wants to crash (so do I!) but I'll return tomorrow to answer emails, revamp the outdated sight, blab about my pink panties, and complain some more about this girl who rips me off!

Since I really want my orea ice-cream sandwich, I'll leave you with an image of a hilarious British candy bar - 

Back to Business!

I'm whipping up a quick post today because it's getting late and I've got a LOT of catching up to do tomorrow morning!

Updates, rapid fire - 

1.) Reconciled with boyfriend (no longer sad!)
2.) Bought much-needed tripod (quicker photos!)
3.) Rented room in apartment (one more to go!)


The final guests just left our gallery and I'm exhausted from five days of stress and insomnia. And it shows...

Acne.


So lame.


I'm used to going to working til 6,7,8am and hoping to get to bed early tonight, therefore allowing me to finally catch up on the multitude of panty projects and upcoming art shows that fell into neglect this week. 


Tomorrow starts with a long morning of returning emails, then fixing my printer (it'll be nice to be awake during Canon's customer service hours), and crafting packages. 


It's going to be a looooooong day...


Since I've been moping in pajamas for days, I slipped on my yellow thong to get back in the spirit -

It's actually sort of comfortable!

Stealing Thongs, Hiding Cats

I am SO bored of being cramped up in my bedroom!

When I first taking photos in panties, I swore I'd never appear in my bedroom. Overdone, I thought! I loved the appear of tearing off my clothes on the patio...

I was going to proffer an image here as example, but cannot. My hard drive full of photos is in the living room. 


Which lead me to conclude...


As stated many a time, I live in a sometimes lovely, usually messy live/work space/gallery/venue. A few of my roommates do not approve of my lurid endeavors.

Thankfully, these roommates moved out!


Or...were supposed to move out.


Yesterday.

Instead, they are still here. Prowling around. Cramping my style!


I intended on taking some over-due photos in their supposed to be abandoned rooms. In fact, just yesterday I took a romp through one of these assumed abandoned bedrooms and found a cute cotton thong!


I snatched it right up!


Apparently, it had not been abandoned and I received a stern lecture. The phrase, "who are you?" was included.


Um...the room was occupied my a male. Who, to the best of my knowledge, does not wear a thong. And typically leaves a trail of trash (and tears) in his wake. 


MOVING ON...

The worse of the soon-to-be-former roommates is also, sadly, owner of the best of the house cats. This little girl has appeared with me in such popular photos as:

You can't get a close look at her there...which is a good thing! Because I've been secretly hiding her in my laundry and hoping she's left behind! But my ex-roommates are stomping around the living room and little Viola is not in my room. She's sure to be taken! No thong. No cat.

That's a satin-y bikini in the photo from my personal collection ("personal collection" should be taken to mean, "I own the matching bra and thus, am keeping the panties!")

I do have another cat, however!

I was mildly annoyed at my paramour this morning (the man, not the cat). Admittedly, not for anything he'd actually done but for his behavior in a dream.


I'm (half) kidding.


As usual, I drank too much coffee and wondered what my "talking-to-cute-animals" voice sounds like on video:

Being stuck in my room, I inevitably ended up doing a little online window-shopping (I've oft found myself trying to think of a good portmanteau for surfing online stores without planning on buying anything - since it literally is "window-shopping"). And I came across this necklace in my friend Lisa's Etsy store, Archives Vintage.

For a second, I considered buying it - but remembered my collection of tiny animals and realized I could make it myself! 

 I was all excited to find a drill and get to work...but heard my roommates prowling...

And hid in my room. I don't want to be confronted with thong-gate 2011 a second time.

...which was extra lame because I was hungry! Luckily, I made a grilled cheese earlier. It was cold. I was bored.

Pretend the salt is snow and you have a lovely vignette.

Where I live...

I have five roommates. Yes. There's six of us. Luckily, we live in a giant loft and everyone has their own bedroom. As you can imagine, there are quite a few downsides - 

- Dishes. Many, many dishes.
- Waking at 4.00am to the noise band practicing in your living room.
- Finding small grocery bags of garbage around the house when the trashcan is overflowing (a personal favorite).
- Hearing someone have sex through the wall - even I'm guilty of this!
- Privacy? What privacy?

Believe it or not, there is an upside. For example, there's always someone to chat with if I'm feeling lonely (I talk A LOT). And there's pretty much no such thing as wasted food. But the best part, aside from having one roommate who's a photographer, is getting to participate in art projects. A few weeks ago, I appeared in a performance project - Argh! I can't find the photos on my computer!


Anyway, there ended up being a motorcycle at the performance space, so naturally I stripped and took a photo!

And, living in a gallery gives me tons of options for unusual background settings. I have a roof overlooking the el train - 

Sadly, it's still kind of a wasteland - beer bottles EVERYWHERE! But my friend, Ava, lives downtown, and I often escape to her place...and she has air-conditioning! Here I am on her balcony, overlooking the city -

 

Living in the lap of luxury is nice...even if it's only for an hour!
