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.

Actually going to be early tonight...I mean, this morning!

 Since I really need to get some rest or I'm going to crash and burn (ever since I adopted the new auction style I've had insane demand) I'm going to try to make today's post as short as possible!

I only slept 3 hours yesterday before being woken by my landlord calling, wanting to rent! Which I thought I could afford until I realized what I thought was Illinois Cash assistance approval was, in fact, denial. No! No NOOOOOO!

Luckily, panty sales have been at an all-time high! And the sock fans finally figured out they weren't dealing with some naive amateur, but the true master of filthy socks!

After dating a sock fetishist for 4 years, I KNOW how to dirty a sock! This makes me very happy because I sort of get a kick out of talking down to sock boys - odd, because I'm usually super nice and polite! Unfortunately, I only own one other pair of pale colored socks - the same variety, in tan. The other light color pair I had went very fast - 

But no matter what I do, people are still trying to buy my shoes off me! Despite the disclaimers! I mentioned that I would be willing to sell them for a replacement - finally, I'm getting replies that actually MAKE sense (i.e., give me yours, I'll buy you a new pair).


Every time I do a sock auction, I get tons of emails for people who want my SHOES (which I never mentioned)...in exchange for a new pair! And it's hard to explain the shoes I buy are either custom-designed or impossible to get after a particular season - just like designer clothers!


But this is a lot of talk a very little images...which is, of course, WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT! 

Oh, I found another photo of the panties I'd like to offer up, next:

I haven't checked the poll I put up...VOTE, dammit! I need to know!


But I really want to veg out and go to sleep early - got to wake up and call eight million government agencies! And figure out how to get more RAM, which is apparently what's slowing down my computer.


I could use a little more "ram" myself?!

That's a sneak peek of my new "about me" page, yet to come!


But since the yellow thong is in it's final day, and I was too lazy to photoshop stars over my pubic hair to put hotter images on ebanned, but, naturally, my blog is the REAL place for ACTION!

And, of course...

(I've been waiting 30 minutes for this to load.)

Kammi re-thinks panties...then buys them.

Update! New blog feature - check out my cool new poll to your right! Help me decide what panties to wear next!

First and foremost, before I forget, I was intending on posting another vid to accompany my yellow thong, currently on the auction block.
But of course, I forgot until now:

(PLEASE POST...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!)

Thank you!

(My computer needs a memory upgrade! I have to restart it like, 6 times a day, and it's only 3 weeks old!)

Moving on...


Sad news...I'm pondering the decision to sell as many panties as I currently do now, in the future! I should probably just stay off the internet when I'm sleep deprived and getting crabby, but after a rash of unfortunate events I think I need to start spending more time in the gallery. I just went over this chick's blog and was re-angered by being ripped off, plus annoyed with the sock auction, PLUS annoyed with being essentially called a "money whore," (I've had people give me free reign of their credit cards and refused!) PLUS I feel like I'm being pressured into doing straight-up porn. I don't know. We'll see.

I can never remember which "sad face" photos I've used, before!


I'm a HUGE perfectionist - every project I take on ends up becoming massively time consuming because I insist every element must be the best it can be...even something as silly as selling your underwear! I know I keep using this as an example, but this sock auction - 

...took like, a whole day to complete! I think I spent three hours just writing the text! 


It's very upsetting to have to receive rude emails...and it's even more upsetting to see ideas you've generated and spent massive amounts of time developing taken by someone else and used for their own gain! 

I have a really great idea I've been mulling over for the past week and I'm SO excited about it! It's a "package" that's never been done before - a completely original idea!

But you can't copyright an idea!


I still want to go through with it, but I DON'T want it copied!


But, of course, I want to offer just a few more panties before I jump right into my crazy plan!

See those blue and white striped boy shorts? Those are on the agenda! I'm still debating what to offer before my BIG IDEA (and I'm hoping to get up my slideshow of "coming soon" items this week).


But I'm running out of panties! And I need more!

Luckily, I've been on a bit of a buying spree!

Oh, that's another pair I'd like to offer! Black lace with corset back!


I recently learned that, instead of buying panties (and lingerie, which I need for photos!) at Victoria's Secret, Urban Outfitters, or the fancy sex shop by my house, I could get them much cheaper on ebay!


THEN I learned I could get CREDIT on ebay!


En route to me, currently:

This is a slip, but I think I'll wear it as a dress - 

And THESE are so cute, I think I'll keep them for myself!

These I'm still debating - I'd really like to do an auction for a red panty, but I'm kind of in the hole with all the panties I've been scooping up, recently! 

Oh no! Those are the wrong pair! I wanted these others with a snarling dog on the back! I hope they're not gone!


I'd also like to focus on a more vintage look, ala this demi-cup bra -

Then, I stumbled upon Dollhouse Betty, a shop on the net...vintage and vintage style lingerie! How amazing would THIS look - 

Kind of even looks like me!


They're lingerie is out of my price range, but they do have some sale items...I'll definitely be doing some "window-shopping" (or, the internet equivalent!) 


I'm going to try to get to bed early tonight - I mean, before noon - and try to get back on a regular sleep schedule. Maybe things will look better in the future and I'll feel more confident about panty-selling! 


Oh, by the way...I've got an auction already planned! I'm still going through the many, many photos from the session...

But you'll have to wait for the surprise!

The world's quicked post where I ask a ton of technical questions and beg for help

Sorry to make this quick! I just woke up and I'm working tirelessly to get my new sock auction up - 

But...

I was hoping people would comment on my posts more! Don't be shy!

Initially, I thought no one was reading, but my stats prove otherwise...

 YES!

As you know, I've been updating the ol' blog like a maniac lately, but some of blogger's gadget confound me. In the off chance someone reading is more technically savvy than I...

1.) I just added a "gchat" gadget - is there any way to make make contacts invisible?
2.) I would like to add the YouTube gadget that supposedly displays your vids - but it won't work! Had a similar problem with the photo slideshow (i.e., when using the gadget, it can't find my album/profile via Blogger) and was able to embed it via a link on Picassa and bypass Blogger - anyone know a similar way to do this with YouTube?
3.) Is there a way to add hyperlinks within the "lists" gadget (just regular lists, ala my "love/loathe" section)? 


And finally...


4.) You know how a lot of sites have a hyperlink when you click an email address that directs the user straight to Outlook? How do you do that? 


I'm sure I can figure out all of this on my own - I haven't actually attempting writing with html, yet - And I just got DreamWeaver! 


But I figured I'd ask!


Let's all get into the community spirit!

(Yes, a non-outdated photo with more than one person would probably work better here - but I've got PANTIES that need tending!)

UPDATE!!! (if updates are allowed seconds after the post is published) - I ended up re-listing the vintage bloomers I mentioned a while ago on ebay -

The listing is on ebay - where fetish items are strictly forbidden (and I did intend to just sell them as clean vintage underwear) but I'd be happy to fetish-ize them, if anyone's interested!

Well...not for $4.99! 

(We'll work something out...that cotton is nice and thin...)

 

MISAPPROPRIATION!

Alright, I wasn't going to do any more panty-related work today. I haven't gone to sleep yet and was about to curl up in bed and pass out. 

But something's really got me steamed!

 

No...that's not a good "angry" picture...this steamed!!!

(actual photo I used for my first CL ad!)

So, as I was saying, I just spent quite a few hours taking photos - both to update my current yellow thong auction - 

AND a brand new sock auction I'm preparing! I was in the middle of editing my images - 

When I decided to mill through the current auctions. I was happy to see that my brand new auction is already at about $70 - but then something caught my eye.

I'm not going to give the specifics of whom this particular person is - but, should an astute reader come across their listing, it's abundantly clear...unless I'm being super paranoid.

I just finished a very large, very successful auction. The final bid was about $117 with a total of 33 bids and about 950 view. I've been told a lot of it's success was due to my style of continually updating the audience with updates, add-ons, and extra photos as the week progressed. Not to mention, I played up the fact that it was a black panty, for extra (this is kinda gross, even for me) "cream" viability.

So, what do I find on [unnamed fetish auction site]?

Some chick, basically ripping off my entire strategy. And style. 

Actually placing the phrase "progressive pics" in the auction.

I read the listing. It's pretty much the exact same device, down to the letter - I mean, literally! Like, text that's very clearly been lifted from my auctions and barely tweaked.

This applies to her item description, "progressive" description, inclusion of her blog as a second place to find her photos (which is against the sites policy, by the way!) ... Down to her shipping description!

Of course, I can do nothing. I hate the competitive aspect of panty-selling - girls fighting against each other for sales.

Trust me...I have full confidence that this chick is no threat...

But it's I HATE IT WHEN MY ORIGINAL MATERIAL IS MISAPPROPRIATED! How ironic that this particular seller should boast her artistic background, yet find herself unable to create an original style - resorting to taking the hard work of others!

I'll probably laugh about it after I take a nap - but right now, it's pretty damn annoying! I put a lot of work into everything I do, and just typing "I take great care preparing packages," (direct quote) doesn't make it true.

I devote hours to designing my blog, writing auction material, and taking photos - 

Really, I'm familiar with this in the art world, but...

(I'm faling asleep)

A True Webmistress!

I've been planning on posting on my blog since I woke up, but am so easily distracted, it's taken about six hours!

What have I been up to, you ask?

Well, I didn't fall asleep until 1pm yesterday - but before I dozed off, I called and invited my ungrateful boyfriend to dinner tonight, as I'd been planning this pasta recipe I invented weeks ago. We were to enjoy:

- linguine with yellow squash and arugula in a lemon-goat cheese sauce 
- heirloom tomato salad with chickpeas, Parmesan and basil
- fresh whole wheat bread

Of course, he never called back. And I woke up at 9pm. 


Whatever.


Despite this shabby treatment, I continued designing custom high-tops for his birthday. I'm an idiot. 

Although I try to refrain ranting about my deadbeat boyfriend, the unexpected upside was I polished up my Photoshop skills  - 

I then decided to do a little shopping for MYSELF on ebay, where I'm debating the purchase of this sexy little number - 

But I'm so completely broke, even $23 is a stretch! 


And then...bad news.


As I stated on this blog earlier, I put a bunch of vintage clothes and shoes that don't fit me on ebay. But, seeing as I have no common sense, I managed to end the auction on a Saturday night! This pair, brown suede go-go boots from the 60's - 

(is my gold mannequin not awesome?)

...went for a meager $10.50! This is annoying on three different fronts. a.) I bought them for $75. b.) I immediately get emails from bidders who missed out, asking to "remember them" if the buyer backs out, and c.) The winning bidder is refusing to pay the shipping cost! I stated in my auction international bidders must contact me to arrange payment. The winner is in Poland. Shipping to Poland is $45, which was a shock to me, too! Of course, I receive no contact. I kindly offer to cancel the sale. This woman writes back and calls me a "fraud," despite the cited shipping rate coming from USPS. 

And, of course, demands I ship her these boots, yet has paid nothing. 

Thankfully, I contacted ebay and if she doesn't pay the full rate by Sunday, I can cancel her order - and they'll rescind her negative feedback and report her as a non-paying bidder!

AWESOME!

For once, ebay actually comes through and does the right thing! 

Then, I continued my internet spree. I finally downloaded Dream Weaver and I'm so excited to start learning html and making my own websites!

Speaking of websites...

You'll notice I've, yet again, revamped "Adventures in Panties" - I added a bunch of "about me" lists and a long list of cool artists, musicians and writers at the bottom. My plan is to eventually link all of them to the appropriate Wikipedia/IMDB/Netflix page and let blog readers discover new faves of their own!

(I'm so altruistic.)

I checked my current auctions - my yellow thong is up to $55 with five days left to go! I can't wait to start tossing up more photos and "updates" to sweeten the final deal, because I was a little bummed that my super-fun black thong auction ended, today. Let's see what it went for - $117!!!

Earlier today, I made this "goodbye, auction" video, and posted it on YouTube - 

...and I also plan on putting a direct link to my new YouTube channel on the blog! 

Please note I've added a new "link list," specifically for lingerie and fetish related sites. I added two more sellers - "Italian Goddess" is another ebanned panty-seller (great if you're looking for someone a little more, well, buxom than myself) and Seleena K, a lovely transsexual gal offering not only her own photos, but photo-editing services! I've been chatting with Seleena on Twitter and it's great to link to someone in the fetish industry who doesn't strictly advertise fetish work!

I'm still planning my post referencing other panty/sock-lovin' girls (and maybe guys!) - just waiting to hear back from a few people! 

It's also WAY easier to contact me - I shifted the "follow Kammi" portion of the site around. Initially, I placed a "chat" gadget but removed it because it showed my whole friend list! Still working out the kinks!

Ok, back to work! I need to update the "panties of the week," toss up more photos of my yellow thong - 

...plus answer my emails, photograph and prepare this sweaty red shirt for a lucky customer - 

...AND re-do my profile on, like, 20 different websites AND, post a new auction for these white, thigh-high socks - 

Wow...just writing that tired me out! Maybe I need a nap.

Or an assistant.
