Crisis (mostly) Avert: A Story in Pictures

Last night, during another spell of sleep-deprivation, I randomly checked my email before finally passing out. 

Wait, that's not what I look like when I check my email. 


No, wait. I check my email like THIS:

Anyway, I received a message from Google. My account had been suspended. 

Because I had a donation button. And no 501(c)(3) status. I was being shut down.

OH NO!

I hurriedly wrote a (typo-ridden) email, explaining I'm a freelance writer/artist, just wanting a little support for my work...and hinted I was being shut down because of adult-content.

I hit send.

Then fell into a miserable sleep of the damned.

I woke up and, expecting certain doom...

I checked my email...

No, wait...I checked my email -

And un-suspended my account!

Except I can't accept have a donation button, anymore.

But overall, it's a good thing!

No, wait...

On a completely unrelated topic, here are the unedited originals from the dark and dim pink panty shoot update I'm simultaneously posting right now - 

Enjoy!

Okay Day

It's obvious "Okay Day" should be a new holiday.

 Despite the illness that has laid me up (and not gotten me laid) I've had for the past few days, I still had a presentation due early this 
morning. And worked myself into a tizzy last night preparing it!


I woke up feeling like complete crap. But, a real trooper, I hauled my ass downtown to the studio, completely nauseous. 


Here's a SHOCKING video of me on the job...


Wait...on second thought (my second thought being, I don't want anyone to hear my work-time, non-sexy voice), I just captured a few of the stills.

This is particularly amazing...

...and this is how I felt when my presentation wouldn't play...

Actually, that's just a weird screenshot. And my video did play. At super speed. But, in the end, not so horrible after all!


Apparently, the client liked my proposal and the sculpture commission (hence, the proposal) may be successful! 

 Boring, I know...

BUT WAIT!

Then, a series of exciting events occurred! 

1.) I got new memory on my computer! So, now it doesn't suck (as much)!

2.) I unexpectedly ran into my beau when I was with my father - and no drama ensued!

3.) Installed new internet! It sucks!

PLUS...

(I know this is a lot of text to handle at once...photos at the end!)

Because I'm annoyed at always being broke and having to hustle to get by every day, I decided to go BACK TO SCHOOL! 

As in, another degree...

I'm considering journalism...hmm...

Maybe I could wear this outfit on the beat - 

This costume is ambiguously titled, "Executive Lady," at my favorite site for ridiculous sexy outfits, 3Wishes. Sometimes I like to dress as a secretary for fun, so this would fit right into my wardrobe!

Speaking of which...

In honor of feeling somewhat better, I actually took some photos for the first time in days! You see, while in a feverish state, I got a few packages - the panties I ordered! Please ignore any lingering pallor...

This is a TEENY-TINY Victoria's Secret thong! I actually only started shopping at VS a few months ago when I realized their lingerie actually fit me really well. This little thong fits, but I get the feeling it's intended for ladies who shave!

I thought the "woman-somehow-doing-splits-atop-of-impossibly-large-champagne-glass" style was sort of cute, too!

And I put back on the controversial thigh-highs from last week - 

In case your wondering about the design on my over-sized men's tank top - take a closer look!

Artist-designed!

Plus, remember those "sweet cheeks" panties from a few days ago? I finally tried them on!

Be back tomorrow! For now, cucumber sandwich (bedtime snack)!

Kammi's Entertains You!

My last post was kind of depressing. Despite the ending I tacked on to make it optimistic.


I'd feel like a jerk if I left the day on a sour note...

Let me entertain you!

 

No, not with my usual panty photos (though if I need to throw those in to keep your attention, I wouldn't mind!) - but cool stuff I found on the internet while convalescing?

Who doesn't like discovering new music?

Check out English Softhearts. They broke up in the 90's but just put out a new album which is definitely the greatest thing you'll ever hear in your life. No doubt. And I'm clearly not just saying that because my boyfriend's in the band and I made bet him I'd get his YouTube video more hits.

 

In case you watched that and realized you hate "snot punk"...

My next addition is my friend, Dan (Deacon). He's a relatively well-known electronic musician and is, apparently, now friends with Val Kilmer or something. I'll get to rub it in his face if he suddenly becomes more popular due to my linking to him. And then I'll be friends with Val Kilmer.

 

And, in case you hate puppets, I'll make up for it:

My final musical suggestion is my friend Sean, aka Langhorne Slim. I'm not sure of his genre, but if folky/bluegrass-esque. His live shows are particularly fun and I occasionally get to dance on stage! And, yes, I'm an amazing dancer!

 

 

And if that's not your taste:

I don't know much about Sound Cloud, but it's apparently a good place to either upload your own music, or search for new bands. My friend Snorre, who goes by The North, has a Sound Cloud page.

And he looks like Kurt Cobain.

But since I've been in bed all day, surfing the net and watching Toddlers and Tiaras,

I thought I'd show you cool sites I found!

I'm not totally familiar with exactly what Flavor Pill is intended as culture guide of listing of city events. But, so far, I've been rabidly devouring their blog - particularly because they cover art and literature. Which is particularly interesting, if you've suddenly developed an interest in photography. 

Though I admit, there's a difference between this - 

(Taryn Simon)

And this - 

Kammi Kaze

But there's a bright future, ahead!

Of particular interest to readers interested in art (or philosophy of art) is Art21's blog. And for those of us who don't have TV, PBS's website streams full length programming to watch when you're, you know, sick in bed.

Also on the "total examination of culture" side is TV Tropes - a very strange and wonderful examination of the way various media uses literary technique. I'm not sure if it's a wiki (numerous editors, ala my beloved Wikipedia), but the writing on the site itself, is quite good.

Of course, if you'd prefer something more mature, I have to give props to Solarotica, an "associate" of mine's blog, focusing on self-composed, well-polished erotic writing! 

I'd come up with more "entertainment on the internet" ideas, but I just got shot with a mega-migraine out of nowhere.

Think I need to rest a little more....

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!

Kammi's Internet Tendency

Again, I must draw you attention to my blog.  

Doesn't it look so much better?!

Although I probably should've been focusing on money-making scheme instead of fiddling with blogger gadgets...yowza!

Shall I draw you attention to the clean new layout? The added photos? Definitely worth several hours of fooling around if you ask me! (and don't tell me I should've been doing other kinds of fooling around...time for that later! It's the weekend!)

Here's a favorite that didn't make the cut - 

Readers, that is a rarity! You see, I have a hard time getting on my knees (yes, yes, another joke opportunity, here) due to having knee surgery about two years ago. The winters in Chicago are so nasty I actually shattered my right leg when I fell on some ice! Two surgeries later, I now have a titanium rod in my leg! Thankfully, the scars are barely visible and don't appear in photos - 

You'll note that I decided to re-do the links list, as it was getting out of control. I have now divided it into three portions.

A.) Random fun stuff I've found on the internet. Since I don't have all my bookmarks from my old computer yet, expect lots of growth. I do have inherent knowledge of many odd and unusual places on the web, such as "Aspic and other Delights," where you can amuse yourself with the idea of eating foods such as these - 

  
Except for some reason they have a picture of fried pies on there. Fried Pies are, in fact, delicious.

B) I also have my "Wealth of Information" section, which includes various resources for education material, particularly for artists - I highly recommend the Internet Archive, where I found all the footage for the film piece I made last week.

 (this is an amazing PSA (public service announcement from the 70's that somehow aims to make venereal disease attractive)

The third section are links to independent boutiques - shopping links! Sometimes owned by my friends! I highly endorse supporting independent businesses rather than, say, Wal-Mart, whenever possible, when shopping for yourself or a special lady (particularly if that lady is Kammi!) My friend Anne was recently named Chicago's "designer of the year," yet had to close down her boutique as she couldn't compete with big business. Luckily, she has an online store, where you can find her handmade clothing - 

FYI - I own this skirt!

What I do not own, however, are these boots. And I will crawl in a puddle of lust until I own them. I am obsessed with these boots ever since I saw them online a few hours ago! I must have them! They're offered by Trashy Diva in New Orleans and they are practically perfect in every way!

How amazing would these boots look with this dress?

I'm actually about to call my mother in New Orleans and beg her to go to the store and ask if they have layaway!

Speaking of New Orleans, I'm waiting on Joelle, who's going back South Sunday, sob, sob, to come over and take more photos of me in this white, bikini-print panties - 

The original plan was to take photos of them by my friend Ava's pool - and jump in the water to get them wet, thus see-through! But, looking over the balcony, the pool was crammed with kids, and there was no way we'd get away with it! 


We do have an alternative, of course...

SHOWER SHOTS!

Expect them later today!
