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.

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.

Pre-show jitters!

My big exhibition is in two days! And things are about to start getting HECTIC! As previously stated, I'm making something like seven dishes to serve, PLUS a video project...I forgot to mention I'm also making an installation and collage!  

The work I'm doing is vintage-style - a lot like this:

My toe is still healing, but there's no way I can wear the amazingly beautiful white heels I was planning! My dress is purple, a vintage style, designed after the famous Marilyn Monroe sidewalk vent dress. I don't have any pictures of it (I'm sure some will be taken this weekend), but it's from Trashy Diva, a shop in New Orleans selling vintage reproductions...and some gorgeous lingerie!

  I would absolutely die for that slip! I check out there selection whenever I'm in New Orleans, usually a few times a year. Could definitely use a vacation soon...and a sazarac! Trashy Diva is going on the links list, for sure!

I try to capture a vintage look in my photos, sometimes or at least work on that "come hither" gaze! I think this shot is sort of "tough 50's" in a way...

 And...naturally, I have lots of vintage dresses! This red dress is one of my favorites - I wear it constantly. Purchased for $10 at a Salvation Army in Jacksonville!

 

I shot a whole photo-set on the roof for ebanned in pink lace panties. My roommate, Amaya, took them so, of course, they're stunning but, since we took them at dawn, the light's way too dim. I might post them up here in the next few days. If I don't run out of time - keep your fingers crossed!
