And The Doggy DNA Results Are In...

2010-07-27T02:11:00.000-07:00

We couldn't take the the not-knowing any longer and finally decided to have Dutch DNA tested. The suspense was killing us now that he's almost all grown-up at nine months old, so I picked up a DNA Breed Identification Kit from BioPet Vet Lab at PetSmart, swabbed his gums, mailed the swabs, and waited patiently for two weeks. The results are in and they certainly did give us a good chuckle so I had to share. Our crazy-looking mutt is... Drum roll please.... 50% German Shepherd, 20% Siberian Husky and 30% Basset Hound! Yes, I said Basset Hound! Muahahaha!

The family that we got Dutch from told us he was a German Shepherd/Husky Mix and as it turns out they didn't fib. They just left out that Basset Hound part. At first, we weren't sure the results were accurate, but then BigD did an image search on Google for Siberian Husky/Basset Hound Mix, and we saw some very definite similarities between Dottie and our boy Dutch. (Follow that link to see what we saw; Dottie is adorable.)

We started Dog Training last week and so far so good. Dutch really is more of a lover than anything, but larger dogs are held to a higher standard as far as behavior goes, so we've been very strict with our easily-excited puppy in the hopes that because he's so young something will stick. Our teacher's told us that the Puppy Retard Phase lasts 2-3 years and after that his personality will be as developed as its probably gonna get. It will be interesting to see. That's for sure.

Memphis Beat Missing Notes?

2010-07-21T17:33:00.000-07:00

A few months back when I first heard that TNT was going to have a detective drama called Memphis Beat, I got all excited. The Birthplace of the Blues is such a colorful backdrop to do this type of show that it seemed a recipe for success. But, we're a few episodes into the first season now and there has been almost no view of Memphis' seedier underbelly. They've covered BBQ, Southern beauty pageants, and a couple of story-lines that have worked in some (totally fictional) musical celebrities but only one with drug dealer's family? Um, huh?

So far, there have been no bar fights, no gangs, no prostitution, no politics. And what's worse from from my ex-exotic dancer-who-lived-in-Memphis perspective, there have been absolutely no encounters with strippers or visits to any shake joints! Why is Memphis Beat being so stingy with the salacious stories? I get that the show hasn't set out to be deliberately unwholesome, but to leave all of that out isn't very genuine, because Memphis really is a major city with all of complications that major cities have. Quite frankly, it's making the show dull and flat. If they can't find a way to make it a bit more dirty, I'll have to stop watching. The new season of Mad Men comes back this Sunday, after all. Mmmm, tasty, tasty Mad Men...

Anyhoo, if you're up for reading what Memphians are saying about this show, head on over to The Memphis Flyer to see each episode reviewed. And don't forget to take a glance at the reader comments for some extra giggles. I literally laughed out loud when I saw a native say: "It's starting to resemble 'Glee' but with grown-up rednecks." Yup, I second that opinion.

Putting Down Roots

2010-07-13T05:22:00.000-07:00

I had BigD snap this picture of me in our front yard next to the avocado tree he recently planted because we haven't had a goofy, "everyday" kind of photo here in the blog for awhile. I'm trying to remind myself daily that baby steps towards making ourselves feel like we are really home are better than no steps at all.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I guess I didn't really understand what was going to be required of me to pull off this Return To California Living Thing. Throw in some serious situations like my mom having an emergency surgery to remove an intestinal blockage when we thought she only had food poisoning or stomach flu and then needing me to help her out while she was stuck recovering in the hospital for several weeks -- only to have BigD get sick the day after my mom was released. His illness wasn't anything near as serious as my mom's (his was probably only stomach flu) but I'd been running on empty for awhile and thought I was finally gonna catch a break. Today he felt good enough to go out to eat and drive around town with me for a few hours, so I'm sure I'll get to go back to a more normal (as in normal for me) schedule soon.

Speaking of schedules and the like, there have been some pretty major changes since I last blogged:

--I am no longer using CamZ/CamWorld to broadcast myself for my 1 hour weekly group webcam performances (that members of AmberLily.net & NymphFeet.com had access to) OR for my private one-on-one cam sessions. The new platform doesn't work for me, and so I've finally had to move on. Thankfully, for the time being, my PrivateCamz archives are still available for those continuing subscriptions to my sites but no new shows will be added. I have tried to take a stab at making a quickie update My Webcam Show Pages on AmberLily.net's free area but they haven't been fully fleshed out and are painfully incomplete. I'd been telling folks following me on twitter where to find me for private webcam sessions and after I figured out that my new webcamming home would be Streamate -- I thought it was time I let everyone know. It took me a couple of months to figure out how to use a system that is so different from what I was used to with CamZ/PrivateCamZ, but I can happily report that for my private/semi-private sessions it's working *extremely* well for me. The quality of their service is awesome, and so they're my #1 choice for webcamming.

I know that their HD system doesn't work for everyone so that's why I caved in and added the Skype Show Option (paying via XXXCamBabes or by Snail Mail if you're a member of my sites) but with everything that's been going on lately -- doing any indie-camming beyond the hours I'm already logged in for shows on Streamate has been near impossible. Plus, and I hate to say this, I'm too generous with my time with these type of shows, frequently running way over the time purchased, and I could probably stand to increase my rates because I priced them too low when compared to what I'm listed at on Streamate (and there is the issue of dealing with the additional headaches with scheduling and converting timezones and stuff). It's either that or do away with the option altogether, so stay tuned on changes for that. I really want to make a separate page on my site explaining how all of these methods work since it can be confusing.

--Not too long after those last blog entries I wrote complaining about my lack-of-reliable computer, I went out and purchased an iMac and now have the right equipment for broadcasting my webcam in HD and doing other stuff (once I get a handle on all of the different Mac-Only software since I'm not running a Windows sim on this machine) like video editing. I still need another computer and am going to figure out some kind of solution soon because on the adult webmastering front I'm sucking and would like to stop sucking and DO IT ALL, ALL THE TIME. Yeah, baby.

--I *did* do some gambling on a SoCal stripclub back in March and have discovered that being a stripper in Southern California is pretty shitty. Too shitty for me. I'm not even going to make a vague attempt to sugarcoat it. I shopped around the area and found that while they all looked different, and yes, there are a few that are pretty much brothels-in-disguise -- none of them work for me. The clubs here expect WAY too much in terms of house fees. At the one club and only club that I actually worked, the Bare N Legal in Pomona (right next to Cal Poly Pomona, so it wasn't as skeazy as some of you locals might be thinking) they took 40% of all of my lapdance money AND THEN expected me to tip out the DJ 20%, tip the manager/security on a sliding scale based on my original earnings (anything beyond $200 was $10, anything beyond $400 was $20 & so on), and then tip the waitress at least $5. The dance prices were listed on the wall so there wasn't any wiggle room (har-dee-har-har!) with trying to negotiate for more. All lapdances had to be paid in advance to the bar which was also weird. I would receive two tickets, one for me to keep to turn in at the end of the night and the other I had to go run to the manager BEFORE I could take my customer to the VIP area to dance. Lame, lame, lame. I guess if the club had been busier and had lots and lots of customers who were easy to sell to dances to then I'd still be there but it wasn't. None of the clubs here are near as active as the clubs in Memphis (even when clubs there were S-L-O-W). There's just a different perception about stripclub things here, and it's not that much fun or even remotely profitable.

I enjoyed hanging out with the girls and the management folks were polite, professional, and tried to be helpful, but sitting for hours bored in the dressing room does not a happy AmberLily-The-Stripper make. The thing that really put a nail in the coffin for me was the night that one of my regulars stood me up, and I kept waiting for him even when I wanted to desperately go home because it was dead --and I was tired of watching the wacko hardcore porn on the big screens. Yup, you read that correctly, the club's management routinely chose to show foreign porno on two big screens thoughtfully located on either side of the stage. (And I thought competing with football and NASCAR was bad... Jeesh!) In truth, they did run a few reality porn titles that were worth watching but most of what I was seeing was CREEPY BAD AWFUL. I don't enjoy watching porn where the performers aren't digging what their doing or at least able to decently fake like they're having a good time and this stuff was blatantly of that "They Look Like They Hate Their Lives & Want To Die & So Do I If I Have To Keep Watching This!" variety. Blech.

So, while I might like to meet with the folks I've connected with via the interwebs in person and give them hot, steamy lapdances -- unless they're willing to pay me obscene amounts of money in advance -- I won't be dancing in Southern California. The Bare N Legal made it official for me: the exotic dancing portion of my life is over, I think, and I'm okay with that. I wasn't when we were living in Seattle. I was really just starting to have the stripper hustle down when we moved out of Memphis, but now, now I'm feeling as though I really have the webcam performer bit down. I'm glad for it. The way I see it, it can only get better!

And on that note, I see that I've spent a long time trying to get us caught up here, all rambly blogstyle. Appreciate that you made it all the way through! Whoo hoo! See ya back on over at twitter where with that 140 character limit, I can't go all out of control like I do here.

Back To The Way It Was

2010-03-01T05:00:00.000-08:00

This is just a fleeting post to say that I've been trying out some blogger templates lately but ended up not really digging how they looked so *now* you'll notice that my blog has gone back to the way it was. I might still keep my eye out for something more "spacious" looking, but really, the way that it has been for the last year isn't all that bad.

If you've got a favorite Blogger Template Site, then by all means, impart with the info with a comment to this entry.

Dutch With The Girl Next Door

2010-02-16T03:45:00.000-08:00

This picture of Dutch with Blondie, the girl next door, was too cute not to share. He's no longer the little puppy we brought home before Christmas, but he sure isn't going to be anything close to the size of our Mastiff neighbor either. We're about to cave in and buy one of those Doggie DNA Tests so we will *really* know what our mixed mutt is... Is he really a German Shepherd/Husky Mix? We'd like to know more of what we're in for with potential health issues and that might be the only way to find out. He's not on the Puppy Cyclone setting for a long as he was when he was a newbie to our household, but that's because we try to exercise the hell out of him. Growing so fast, it won't be much longer before he's big enough to not get *totally* plowed by the Labs he plays with at the dog park. Me, on the other hand, am probably doomed to be nearly knocked over when those big wrestling dogs go at it and collide with me when my back's turned, lol. It's a good thing everyone (so far) has been fairly well-behaved and responds to their owners. Believe you and me, I do appreciate that!

Happy Valentine's Day

2010-02-14T04:24:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Kisses! on 12seconds.tv

Just a goofy little 12 second video wishing you a Happy Valentine's. I'm expecting it to be pretty relaxed around here today. BigD's birthday's on the 18th so we'll just be combining the Valentine's dinner out and his day and hopefully avoiding any crowds or making reservations. (Crowds are actually something we have to consider here as we're in a *much* more populated area.) I'm not terribly demanding this year. Feel a bit like Valentine's even snuck up on me, truth be told.

Anyhoo, enjoy something sweet today. My goal is to find a Red Velvet Cupcake & savor/inhale it with my regular dose of Coffeeeee!

I'm Behind, Behind...Here's Pics Of My Behind

2010-02-11T02:25:00.000-08:00

If you haven't already guessed, it's just been all about me and my almost-every-night webcam routine and little else since I last blogged. Eat, sleep, take the dog out for a walk, pet the cats, kiss BigD, cam, cam, cam! I love camming, really, I do, but this schedule I've been on has been a bit much. 100% necessary to my financial survival, mind you, but it hasn't been leaving me with much time to smell the roses.

So it's about time I started gambling. No, not of the playing poker variety -- of the stripclub variety. I *want* to remain optimistic about the club conditions here, and there are many, many more clubs to choose from than in the last state we lived in, but I think my standards are just awful high. I don't want to work in a stripclub masquerading as a whore-house (because I'd so just make the jump to be a straight up "working girl" & head on out to the Bunny Ranch if that's what I wanted) and obviously I don't want to work at a dead club where I can't make any money because I always count on making *something* webcamming. Or at least not ending the night *owing* money which is one of things that happens when you're an exotic dancer.

I've been waiting patiently for the sucky for sales post-Christmas period to be over before I even attempt to scope any of the SoCal stripclubs out, and I think this week is the week. I'm SUPER nervous, but I've missed being a stripper too much to not try. It was a job that I actually felt like I was getting *better* at before we moved away from Memphis to stripper-hostile Seattle where I couldn't put myself at risk of arrest for such little reward. (I STILL don't get how a rough town like Memphis can be safer for a girl to get naked on a stage for pay in than Seattle, but whatever, I'm not there to concern myself with it anymore.)

My ideal is to find a good club that I can work two, three, or four nights a week and then still cam or work on my sites the remaining nights while being able to afford a day off or even *two* days off most weeks. Heck, if I'm being that positive, maybe I'll EVEN be able to take a vacation at some point. (Not holding my breath here, but ya never know, lol.) I'm sure those of you who work for yourself know where I'm coming from with all of this schedule talk.

I'd like to take a moment before I hit "Publish Post" to say thank you to those who've maintained their subscriptions to either or both of my sites, the "main" one AmberLily.net and the foot fetish only version NymphFeet.com. For what they've lacked in photo gallery and video updates, I like to feel like I've made up for with unlimited access to my PrivateCamz archives that update damn near everyday and my regular one-hour Camz Group Shows. That's where all of these webcam shots have come from, one of last night's one-on-one sessions. That page on my site has an outdated number of shows now. As of February 11th 2010 I'm now over 3400 shows. Wowie, does that seem like a lot or what? So, please enjoy those as I *continue* to get my computer issues squared away. (Yup, I've not yet figured out how to afford a new computer on my present budget so that I have a decent machine to work on while I try to fix all of the broken computers -- cuz, man, are they ever freaking broken. Ugh.)

And I will keep you posted on how the return to exotic dancing is going or if it's even going at all. No worries there, my SoCal friends. If I can find the right place, I'll fer sure want you to come out and play with me in person.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

2010-01-06T21:41:00.000-08:00

I thought I could get away with recording another vlog entry for ya'll -- thinking it might be easier to get anyone interested in getting caught up with what's been going on with me via one of my goofy videos, but it's just not in the cards right now.

Unfortunately, my main computer is down for the count. I'm trying to do what I can to get the important stuff I hadn't backed up (yes, I do back-up, but not as frequently as I should) off of it and see about possibly reformatting it, but it's old. It's beat up. It's been through a lot, and I'm not sure that'll do the trick. Honestly, I really only wanted it to hang in there for a few more months when I could more realistically afford to buy a new computer. But, that's not how my luck tends to go with my hardware.

Someone who does as much online, particularly with webcam work as I do, really NEEDS more than one working computer, and I've been on a partially-functional computer for over a year now. I'm two OS behind and making my box work the way that I've have putting in non-stop hours, pushing its specs to the limits -- really only a matter of time before it hits bottom and can not resurface. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out alright for my poor computer, but my gut feeling is that it's really over now. Le Sigh.

When I say "main computer" like I have at the beginning of this entry, what I really mean is: the only computer that will turn on and can connect to the internet. I've got four totally worthless computers that I've been carting around the country that I wasn't ready to destroy -- because once there's homemade porn starring yourself on a hard drive -- that's really your only option. Providing your machines can't be fixed. I think that's where my optimism comes in. I like to believe that someday I really will be able to diagnose what's wrong with these machines and be able to fix them, get them working like new, and then have my house all networked up so I can be rendering/uploading video and doing other cool stuff 24/7. I mean not going for the Kevin Smith/Warlock in Die Hard 4 hardcore computer geek palace sheik sort of vibe, but something involving more than one working computer would greatly aid my amateur pornographer ambitions. At the very least, I won't be forced offline where I'll starve to death because 90% of my income comes from being an adult webcam performer.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to cave in and put a new cheapo laptop on my Best Buy Card within the next few days just so I can keep working because I'm (as usual) already super behind on all things AmberLily.net. The computer I'm using now isn't one I can stay on. Inherited from BigD's mom, it was only used for word-processing and doesn't have much in the way of what your average webgirl needs even if you strip out all of the Family Tree Maker and various "helpful" AOL BS.

Between the move from Seattle to Los Angeles, dealing with living in an old house with antiquated plumbing and electrical (scary stuff for me folks, we lost BigD's work computer because of the electrical in this house...), dealing with the fall-out from being away from my family for the last six years and how resentful they are because of my absence and how we *needed* to go full-tilt drama over Christmas -- getting off to the right start in 2010 has been difficult.

Even still, I am all about fresh starts and remaining hopeful in the face of great challenges. I won't rehash 2009 for you, but BigD's mother's death last January has impacted us financially in ways that will take us YEARS to recover from. But we're home now and trying to rebuild what we've lost, and there is SUNSHINE almost every day! Even if I'm putting in tons of hours on webcam because I have more financial responsibilities, I *know* that 2010 will be a healing year. There will be time for me to get out and smell the roses, but for now -- now I better keep working hard. In a few months, I'm sure I'll get to do more fun stuff that will make for more exciting blog entries. In the mean time, you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for more pictures of Dutch and my theories/feelings on the final season of LOST.

And more updates for my sites! I'll get my computer situation figured out someway or other. New Year's Resolution #1!

Merry Christmas 2009!

2009-12-25T05:00:00.000-08:00

Your favorite spazzzz camgirl recorded this vlog for you in the wee hours of Christmas morn, and she hopes that you'll dig it while having a warm and wonderful holiday. (If you're into that kind of thing.) Isn't the frame this vlog's stuck on a horrible image of me? Hurry up and make it play so you can see that okay and not suffering from some kind of bizarre mental illness... Hey, wait a second... Just kidding!

And here is our new family member: Dutch, the Puppy Cyclone, who sat still just long enough for me to get this picture. So what do you think: German Shepherd/Husky Mix or is he gonna turn out more Border Collie?

Finally Moving Home To SoCal

2009-11-30T00:43:00.000-08:00

That's right, tonight's our last night in Seattle! Our apt here is just about all packed up, and we're finally moving back home to Southern California. It's been a long time coming, that's for sure. We wanted to move away from here right after BigD's mom passed away, but we've been stuck with her house in probate all these long months, and now that *that* nasty shit is ending -- we're running for it before any more time passes. I'd like to say that we've remained unscathed, but probate is a truly evil process that has sucked us dry *and then some* unfortunately. Folks keep asking me *where* in Southern California we're moving to but all I feel comfortable saying is near Los Angeles. Remember, I've been recognized a few times over and since I'm not a full-blown celebrity type -- I'm entitled to as much privacy as I want. :)

I'm only anticipating being without an internet connection through Thursday, December 3rd so stay tuned for a rescheduled group show if you're a member of either of my sites: AmberLily.net or NymphFeet.com. Of course, I wished that I'd gotten another gallery update finished before I hit the road, but I'm confident that the set I've been editing will post not long after I arrive. Any time you do an out-of-state move it tends to get complicated, and my head's been fried with all of those relocation details.

So here's to hoping we have a safe trip down and for a better, more sunshine-filled life back home in Southern California. I'm not sure how much tweeting I'll do from the road, but there's bound to be a few. Follow me on Twitter:HERE if you aren't already.

Halloween Group Camshows N Stuff

2009-10-24T02:18:00.000-07:00

Last Tuesday, I performed my first of two costume camshows of the 2009 Halloween Season & it was a hoot. With all that's been going on in recent weeks, I figured I'd just focus on the last two weeks of October with my usual costumey-enthusiasm. So I put on my Sexy Miss Freddy Krueger ensemble (minus the footware because I wanted to get make sure it was a good soles-in-fishnet pantyhose show) and had fun for an hour with my regular Camz viewers. I bought this costume last year to wear to BigD's company Halloween party and figured the red and green sweater dress would keep me and my little sweater puppies nice and toasty, hehe. Plus, I admit it, I've always wanted an excuse to have my very own "Freddy Fingers" -- Freddy's sinister glove with razor blade fingers is such fun to goof off with. So totally iconic! I could play with them forever!

Many years ago, when we were on like the forth or fifth "A Nightmare on Elm Street" installment, there was a phone-in contest where the contestants were asked three questions about the movies and your's truly called in. I got them all correct and won (what was at that time) the complete collection of movies on VHS and some collectible card stuff. That so ruled! I was thrilled to death that I'd *actually* won something. Of course, it wasn't too much longer before VHS became obsolete, but I kept those tapes for a long time -- my winnings! It wasn't until Christmas our first year in Memphis that BigD gifted me with the *now* complete dvd collection of some of my favorite scary movies. Okay, okay, so "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge" *does* suck badly, but I do occasionally bust out the others. I like both 1 & 3 a lot -- those two are the ones I've seen the most amount of times. And you know, I'm not at all sure what I'll think about the Michael Bay remake due out in 2010. The casting and trailer look decent.

Anyhoo, the replay of my Sexy Miss Freddy Krueger show is up for members of AmberLily.net. You'll want to try and catch it before I do my show on Tuesday, October 27th and the replay will be changed out with the show I perform that evening. With all of the system changes at Camz, there hasn't been a way for me to download and post more permanent archives of my group shows or make those highlight clips that they like to use for promotional purposes, but I'm sure they'll make my latest past shows available at some point.

In other news, much more sad news, we lost our TT on Sunday. Our older orange cat had been diagnosed with terminal lymphoma back in April. We thought he might make it with us on our *still* upcoming move back home to SoCal, but it just didn't happen. He was our best cat -- one of the best cats I've ever shared any time with, actually. Whenever someone would tell me "I don't like cats because they are/do ______" -- I'd tell them they'd like our TT (Tigger Two) because he had so few "negative" cat traits. He was the ultimate companion cat. In his younger days (when he was an indoor/outdoor kitty in Southern California), he would play with all of the neighborhood children, and they loved him. They'd actually knock on the door and ask if TT could come out to play. TT liked just about everyone, came whenever called, would lap-sit for as long as he was welcomed, and slept with us almost every night. We were lucky to have had him for as long as we did and suffering yet another loss this year, a year where there have been *so many* losses, was really hard. TT wasn't in much pain during his last moments; he was a trooper all the way to the end -- dying in my arms before our appointment to have him put to sleep last Sunday morning.

There are days when our cats are the only living, flesh and blood beings that I see aside from my husband because I work from home, and yes, because we haven't had children yet -- I do think of them as our babies and "our kids". I knew that Captain was going to have a hard time with TT's passing because even though they'd always had a Mr. Wilson/Dennis The Menace type of relationship. (TT being Mr. Wilson & Captain being Dennis for those of you who don't follow Cappy's clownish exploits on his twitter.) The days following TT's death were heart-wrenching with Captain meowing/searching for TT. All confused, he'd go hang out in TT's favorite places. And then there was acting out in other ways... The surviving cats have started peeing in places they shouldn't which is *really* abnormal for them. A sign they've been stressed out. I haven't caught anyone in the act just noticed afterward. Ugh. But, with each passing day, it's getting easier for all of us, and BigD and I are talking about the fun times with TT. Captain's been more attentive which has been cool.

I'm sure I could ramble on for a few more paragraphs about other stuff that's going on, but I'm gonna close now to get some shut-eye. It's only 5:24am now, lol. And another "Thank You" goes out to those who emailed or replied to me at twitter to send your condolences. Very sweet of ya'll!

Members Updated, Trashy Doll

2009-10-11T00:55:00.000-07:00

Aren't I looking both trashy and glam all at the same time? Dressing up in those vertical-striped black thigh highs with my frilly "cuffs & collars" made me feel quite furiously sexy so I'm not thinking that this theatrical Doll look means that I'm as chaste as most real dollies strive to be all sexless with their pink parts carefully covered.

BigD came home after I'd only *just* started shooting and when he spotted all of the disposable plastic grocery bags around me and said -- "That makes no sense!" I batted by enormous faux eye-lashes back at him and replied with smooth "It doesn't *have* to make sense; I'm having fun." Trashy Dolls can happily pose and play in *trash* after all.

And since I have a love affair with my plastic bags (they have so many reusable uses!) I thought it would make for an awesome background that would, in part, cheer me up because we're still living in Seattle -- a place where they actually tried to impose a bag tax a couple of months ago. Argh. I'm simply not hippie enough to live here. I *do* reduce/recycle/reuse but I'm love love LOVE my plastic bags because they meet the needs of my household in a variety of areas. Remember, I've got four cats (until TT succumbs to cancer), a massive panty and lingerie collection, and a hubby who's a gamer. All of those benefit from a goodly stash of these plastic bags. I'm not an Uber-Green-Machine, and I don't want to be punished for not being one. Dislike my viewpoint and even hate me if you must -- but being lectured about not doing enough when I already feel like I *am* doing enough has gotten old. And it makes me grouchy. And rebellious.

I'm not saying all of this because I want to spurn a conversation/debate over the topic of recycling (particularly when much of it really does seem to mostly be about our feelings and what our pocketbooks might be feeling and that is tied to a bunch of other Bullshit). I am merely relaying my own personal feelings and how I arrived at this plastic bag playground for this photo set for AmberLily.net. Pretty easy to see where I shop the most too, huh? I do loves me some Target, Safeway, QFC, 7-11 and the Spirit Halloween Superstore. Mmmm hmmm.

So, let's get on with other things worth mentioning about this photo set. Did I already tell you that there are exactly 99 self-taken pictures this time? Well, there are! I figure that another shoot or two and I'll be back in the self-pornography groove. I'm especially proud of those that start around #26. (That would be the first sample up above there.)

Star Wars Links Worth Hitting

2009-09-26T00:17:00.000-07:00

I've been on a roll recently with sharing some amazing/sexy/adorable Star Wars links via my twitter lately, but I know not everyone catches me for every tweet as I am somewhat of a twitteraholic. Why not share them here too. I have selfish reasons too, of course, if I blog about them -- then I don't have to keep them as bookmarks. I can just pull up my blog and revisit.

"The Amazing"

The Ultimate Star Wars Apartment

Now, this place is probably the most tidy looking nerd palace I've ever seen. Most collector homes are chock full of not only collectibles but clutter as well. Originally spotted at Gizmodo via this link that was posted by Adam Frucci I believe I might have seen it elsewhere but am not sure now. I think the only things that are missing are the original Star Wars stuff of the Hasbro action figure variety. It's entirely too grown-up over there and needs some kids toys in the mix. It's possible that those are loaded up, still in their original blister packs, hidden in the closet or under the bed. If you think the above picture that I snagged is cool, then you need to see the whole set. And then, read all of the totally jealous user comments. So many boys, so green with envy over other boys collections -- trying to dis it all the way instead of appreciating it for the super stellar spectacle that it is.

"The Sexy"

Galactic Empire Corset Collection

Aren't these Star Wars corsets the freaking bomb? I was completely *blown away* by how original and how sexy these are. And if I were in the market to spend $500-600 on something Star Wars-y, this would be at the top of the list. If pressed to pick between the Galactic Lord or the Galactic Trooper, it would be the Galactic Lord Corset all the way. The matching shrug with floaty cape are divine! And how terribly practical that it also comes with a utility belt. Somewhere to put the keys to the Death Star! :) I first saw these gorgeous costume pieces on Spike, but a quick search on Google turned up the actual maker: Evening Arwen.

And yeah, I saw the Star Trek corsets over at Spike, but ya know, those just weren't quite tickling my fancy. They aren't nearly loaded, are they? ;)

"The Adorable"

Animals With Lightsabers

How can you go wrong with Animals With Lightsabers? See, you just can't. And doesn't the photo above look like it could be my Captain? It's not, of course, it's a white kitty named Roxy. There's a variety of animals wielding lightsabers with more photos being added all the time, so it's good to stop by periodically to see what you missed. Ocassionally, you'll even get a fun Jedi Animal video. A sure way to lift your spirits & celebrate the Force at the same time.

CamZ Group Show Didn't Happen Today

2009-09-22T20:12:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, Camz went down today *right before* my weekly 1-hour group camshow was scheduled to start at 7pm ET / 4pm PT. I'm sure it was just another case of unknown/unexpected technical difficulties with their latest system changes. Nevertheless, I was on time and ready, and I hit my twitter to fill everyone in on what was going on as it was happening. Here's the three funny/sexy 12 second videos that I recorded to show off what I was wearing:

Well, it looks like Camz is down. But I was ready on time, see?

So a great big WTF with an !

Think I should surprise hubby in this lil ensemble?

So after goofing around and recording those, I decided to test out a free twitter-friendly cam service called CamTweet.com because I figured why not sit & chat while dressed up in my sexy red and black Cuban heel stockings before BigD got home. Things were purely non-nude as per their TOS, but it was a nice way to feel connected for a few moments with my site members and non-members alike -- after we figured out to use the chatroom to communicate with each other, of course. Not the easiest, most-streamlined method for webcam broadcasting, but my impromptu chat seemed to go over pretty well, and we appreciated the venue. I rambled up a storm about music and stripping and television shows and stuff while only getting tongue-tied a few times here and there. There was no clock at CamTweet, but I'm fairly certain that my free webcam stream lasted for 40-50 minutes or so and the quality wasn't half bad. The experience was a reminder that yes, webcam stuff can be fun *even* when it's just all talking and me playing with my hair while not getting naked.

I'm not sure that I'll be able to easily slip into another CamZ Group Show timeslot this week to attempt a make-up show, but if I can -- I will be sure to post it the members area & on my twitter. (And yes, I realize that my tweets over there in the sidebar of my blog are looking like ass -- I need to figure out a prettier way to display them. I just don't have it figured out yet.)

Members Updated, Green One Piece Swim Suit

2009-09-09T04:17:00.010-07:00

I thought about shooting a set in my green one-piece suit all summer long. I knew I wanted to have wet hair and generally look "mussed" -- maybe how I'd look if I'd been out by the pool reading in the afternoon sun. Taking time out every so many pages to go get wet in the pool. But what to read? Well, to start, I could get sucked in by The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From The Living Dead by Max Brooks. And after reading several chapters on weapons, combat training and fortress building, I could decide that I need something sexier than a future zombie outbreak and dive into Nancy Madore's Enchanted Again, More Erotic Bedtime Stories For Women because I'd enjoyed her first collection of erotica-inspired by classic fairy tales so much. Yes, that's it, just what I need to escape from my everyday reality and get turned on at the same time. I mean, how can you go wrong with a way more grown-up and turned lusty version of "Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater" or "Humpty Dumpty"? See, you just can't. And that's where the collecting my colorful pool towel and running to the security of my bathroom comes into the story. Where I end up should be pretty obvious...with my fingers down my swim suit fingering my soaking wet pussy.

Members Updated, MySpace Sucks! And Panties

2009-08-14T05:21:00.019-07:00

Okay, so I know that I'm late with this cute MySpace Sucks T-Shirt. Now it's totally easy and even trendy to hate MySpace because FaceBook is the new cool kid at school, but I bought this tee-shirt when I lived in Memphis and at the height of the MySpace Rage -- and it wasn't as cool to dislike MySpace. Everyone was going on and on and on about how much fun MySpace was back then. After being asked "Do you have a MySpace Page, Amber?" 40 gizillion times, I caved in and signed up. And then I was instantly aggravated with all that was (and still is) MySpace. Users are able to do so many bad, bad things to "personalize" their pages that too frequently wind up making those of us who view these pages wish our eyes and ears would leak of our skulls. So much so that I can't bear to login there very often. I've landed on too many truly horrible, almost completely unreadable MySpace Pages. The whole site is messy and loads slowly even before you get to the zinged-up individual profiles. Pink text on a dark blue background that flashes because it's this giant .gif file? Check! Two music files and one video all loading and then playing at the same time? Youbetcha! Unresized pictures that force you to scroll horizontally for miles and miles of pixels? Mission accomplished! For every pretty page, there's gotta be like 50 ghastly ones.

And then there's the whole you "can't be naked on MySpace" issue. Well, you *can* be naked but you can't show any of the good stuff. Unless you're crafty or lucky or don't mind rebuilding your MySpace Page and friends lists over and over again because you've had your account deleted. That alone makes it a huge time-suck waste for someone like me who already has a web-presence where she can do whatever she wants whenever she feels like it. So why would I stay again? Oh, so I could tell people about said web-presence? Nope, that would technically be a violation of their TOS because I'm adult content. So between the uber-slow page loads, the dreadful "It hurts my eyes, make it stop, make it stop!" profiles, the no nakey-nakey, and the no advertising amateur porn urls -- I was never down with MySpace. That's why if you go to my page there, you'll see my friends number is quite low. It's funny, I *just* logged into MySpace while I'm writing this to see how many new messages I might have and the freaking site has locked up my browser! Talk about icing on the cake. If it weren't for a few folks that use MySpace exclusively to reach me because *they* prefer it to old-fashioned email, I'd probably never go there again. There have always been better options for getting to know people online, and with new social networking sites springing up literally every day -- I'm not nearly as riled up as I used to be by MySpace. (I hope that I've not offended anyone with trip down "MySpace Sucks!" memory lane. All of my stripclub friends really, really like MySpace so I don't think any less of anyone who does, I swear. It's just not for me.)

My MySpace Sucks tee-shirt is most comfy and had the good fortune to be paired up with an equally cute pair of black fullback string bikini panties with little metallic gold stars. If you've missed seeing me in my spex lately, this is the gallery for you! Plenty of panty play: my hand down inside my panties, pulling my panties up tight before I pull them down, then stretching them a bit with my feet before I finally take them off. It's a very teasing gallery with an abundance of sweet photos (And yes, this gallery was shot by Trixie. How'd ya guess? *wink*). 96 images round out this set inside the members area of AmberLily.net. I had fun letting my snarky nerd out while showing off my panties and pussy, so I hope you'll have fun checking out this update.

Naked Girl Does Some Twitter Twaddle Vlog

2009-08-12T15:58:00.006-07:00

I *probably* shouldn't have recorded this but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Special Note to More Polished Webwhores & Adult Entertainers: This vlog ramble was recorded to help illustrate how blind some twat-heads are on twitter about women having rights over their own bodies to do with as they will and NOT a criticism of cosmetic surgery or just plain ole being more glamorous than your's truly. (I might even want some someday! And no lip from you boys who've followed me for years about "ruining my look" either = It's my body to do with as I want, when I want, enough said.) So I apologize, folks, if I'm coming across that way because it's unintentional. I'm supporter of your right to be The Decider. You alone ARE The Decider of your own life/body, after all. Muah!

Special Note to Blind Twat-Heads On Twitter: See, you got what you wanted, attention from a genuine Naked Girl On The Internet, ain't it cool? I'm sure you were super thrilled that I recorded this "NAKED" - huh? This is a pretty good glimpse into the real person behind the twitter ID that you've been following for weeks, months, a year(?) and still don't know. I encourage you to take the "Stop Being A Twat-Head Challenge" and join my amateur panty porn site and get to know me via my picture galleries, videos, and live webcam shows. Here's a link to the JOIN PAGE of AmberLily.net. I promise it'll be a lot of fun if you do. Even if it's just for educational purposes, you *might still* be inclined to jack-off to the nerdy hotness that is AmberLily. In her natural state, in her artificial state, in the state of Washington. There ya go. If this hasn't sold you, I don't know what will.

Special Note to Other Often-Frumpy Webwhores & Adult Entertainers: Are you calling me out on my sloppiness? Think you're more "carefree" with your online appearance? Fine, you very well could be. Guess we'll just have to have a slumber party where we give each other make-overs while I try to get you to watch Season One of LOST and you try to get me to watch Season One of Deep Space Nine as we debate who has earned the title of Most Slovenly Slut. I'll bring the scrunchy hair ties and the Oil of Olay! You make the popcorn!

Special Note to the Choir: Thank you for enduring *yet another* blog entry where I've gone off on quite the rambling rant. I promise you'll be seeing me as The Pretty Girl very shortly. I honestly do like my version of The Pretty Girl and am glad that you do too. I most sincerely appreciate you folks in the choir that I've ended up preaching to *again* most of all. Especially your infinite patience with my personal life issues getting in the way of our having all of the fun I dream of us having. I'm making every effort to stay the course and not become another retired webgirl statistic. Hang in there for me knowing that I *really am* doing the best that I can. *Endless Thank You Hugs*

Gone Fishing, Geeking Out & Being Way Hot

2009-08-02T01:11:00.028-07:00

My plan is to drop off a bunch of pictures for this entry because, well, there have been a few I've shared via my TwitPics that I think deserve their own special blog entry.

First and foremost, I went fishing!!! BigD mentioned a few weeks ago that he'd really like to give it try and go fishing. Neither one of us had been for like over twenty years, so naturally, neither of us really remembered *how* to fish. After consulting a few online sources for where to go and what to target at a few of the nearby lakes, we went all official and got licensed. I picked out a very girlie pink fishing rod and matching baseball cap. See? And on one of our first days out (since by now we've been a few times out) -- I caught the first fish last weekend, a pretty rainbow trout!

It's been nice to get the old man out of the house. We're not really the outdoorsy type, but I think we're doing pretty good with the couple of trips we've made thus far. I'll do whatever I can to get BigD interested in something that allows us to get more fresh air. Although, I do wish that I could talk him into driving a bit further away from the burbs so we could find a place that's remote enough that I could try to shoot some Naked In The Great Outdoors pictures and/or videos. Even if he chooses not to hold the camera (he's terribly opposed to that unless I've a co-star) -- he could at least play look out. So far, no such luck on that. You'll be the first to know if that changes, of course.

And then last weekend was Comic-Con 2009 down in San Diego, CA. For those of you reading this who *aren't* of the nerdy-persuasion, that particular convention is sort of a big deal to Star Wars fans because it's where Lucasfilm chooses to release cool new stuff to get us all worked up over. Some years are better than others with that but even if *that* part of Comic-Con doesn't fully satiate -- there's so many other things to geek out over that it's something we don't miss altogether even if I have very little desire to attend the convention myself. Comic-Con is way, way too crowded. Watching the coverage on G4 is plenty good. Especially when it's being brought to by hot nerd chicks like Olivia Munn. Yes, yes, I'm a fan. How'd ya guess?

So also last weekend, I let little AmberLeia out to play and put on one of my Star Wars t-shirts and did my hair up in Princess Leia buns to play on cam. I'm glad that I did. Not everyone was a fan of that particular look but the majority of the folks who wandered into my chatroom were cool with *my* being a fan even if they weren't. I have a real hard time believing that there are actually people who *haven't* seen any of the Star Wars movies (old or new trilogy!) but sure enough -- they do occasionally cross my path and I have to explain myself. How many inside jokes must these folks miss while being out and about in the world? There are so many pop culture references to Star Wars that I can't imagine not getting those. Man! At the very, very least, see the first film. You shouldn't even be able to *say* you're a nerd or a nerd-sympathizer unless you've seen Star Wars IV: A New Hope. Even go the Special Edition route. Just see it already. Unless you were just born yesterday, you're way overdue. ;)

Speaking of overdue, I'm feeling as though I'm way behind on a number of projects (including AmberLily.net members updates) and some of that is because of the heat wave we've been experiencing here in Western Washington. The temperature sky-rocketed to as high as 107 this past week which is pretty abnormal for this neck of the woods. It's pissed me off royally because SEATTLE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN AIR-CONDITIONING!!! The locals like to think that it doesn't get hot enough for air-conditioning. I've heard all sorts of things from these loonies. Stuff like: "It's only hot for a couple of months, tops!" being one of the latest sentences said to me while I was in line to by the last fan in the store in a pathetic attempt to cool off my home office. (If you've kept up with my twitter or caught up with me in my group Camz show then you've already heard my snippy reply to this asinine statement but please bear with me while I say it again here because I really want to write it all out for posterity's sake. We won't be living here forever, after all.) --With sweat running down my chest and through my shirt, I replied to Madam Crazytown: "Where I come from, we call that SUMMER, and we have air-conditioning." And true enough, no one bothered to tell little Miss Hot Under The Collar and Hot Every Freaking Where Else any differently.

Any rental place that's in a location that gets above 85 degrees *should* have A/C. It just should. It should be an option. If apartment complexes in this area can offer stupid security alarm systems, they can offer air-conditioning. It's just one of the many things that irks me to no end about Seattle. Because guess what, it was hot last year at this time too. This is not a new phenomenon. The temperature finally did break late in the week, and now we're only in the 90's so that's been better. Some relief is better than no relief.

I did, however, answer a whole bunch of email on the day that I was waiting for our apt manager to come in and do our annual unit inspection. I didn't get back to everyone, but I was able to let a few folks know that I've not forgotten about them. :) I'm in the process of coming up with new stuff for updates, and there are a couple of things I'd like to change on the free side that I'm confident I'll get done. Maybe after my brain has soaked in enough Frozen Mango Pieces to think properly. That could be any day now. In the mean time, those shows that I did in my Star Wars t-shirt and cute black panties are in my PrivateCamz archives -- along with the one pantyhose-lovers might like where I play in some cream-colored hose. Hopefully that will entertain until I can get more sexy stuff going on.

Head on into AmberLily.net's members area to see the shows >>>>

Members Updated, Spider Web Chaps

2009-07-08T02:52:00.020-07:00

That's right, it's Halloween year-round when you have hot outfits like this one in your lingerie drawers. This is another one of my most favorite exotic dancer outfits that I felt it was necessary to photographically document. The girls at the club would call these chaps even though they don't connect at the waist and are technically leggings. Whichever you prefer, they have a certain way of drawing more attention to the parts that aren't covered in the behind region. Definitely THE outfit to wear if you're feeling cheeky.

Anyhoo, there's over 100 snaps of me posing in this outfit for members of AmberLily.net. If the background looks a bit familiar that's because, yes, this is another Trixie-As-Photographer photo set shot at her home. (Thank you, *again* Trixie for having me over and shooting so many nice pictures of me.) I'm glad that one of my leggings/chaps outfits has finally made it into pictures. I've quite literally gotten a lot of mileage out of this particular outfit. That might be more obvious if I posted more pictures, but it's no accident that the outfit shows the most wear in certain areas. The little green spider webs are faded at the knees, the inner thighs and the gstring. A testament to how much fun I had dancing. ;)

Mmmm, yes indeedy...

Oh, got mentally sidetracked for a moment. In other news, I should have something *especially* worthwhile to share within the next day or two. I hope anyway! The news might break on my twitter first. So if you've got an account there, by all means follow me.

What AmberLily Wants, A Rant

2009-07-03T15:53:00.051-07:00

Just a warning, this is a little rant I've wanted to make for awhile now, and as a rant -- it won't be totally logical or make sense for most folks, but maybe it will help illustrate where I'm coming from. And what better day to make it than today when Sarah Palin resigns as governor of Alaska.

I wished people didn't think that look like Sarah Palin and Tina Fey because it COSTS ME MONEY.

Not sure how I got to this conclusion? Has my ego just instantly swollen up a couple of dress sizes because I've compared myself to two very famous people? Sure, it has, but what I've said still more true than I'd like. Throughout the last presidential election, I made a conscious effort to *not* be publicly political because in all honesty -- it's just not very me. I didn't and still don't have much faith in our elected government and spending much time thinking about it only adds another knot in my already severely knotted-up stomach. My own personal life overwhelms me. If you're spent any time on my blog, then you already know that.

So I didn't blog, or tweet, or talk about the election or its players in camshows. But that doesn't mean that it didn't reach me. Even without my being an outspoken crusader type, politics got into my work, my sex work. Against my wishes. Against my will. I've been caught in the middle of something I don't claim to fully understand, and it sucks. It costs me money because I bear just enough of a physical resemblance to both Sarah Palin and Tina Fey for me to be likened to both of them and what they represent. It's that last part that's causing problems for me. What do they represent? A whole mess of ideas that usually don't involve people's dicks getting hard or pussies getting wet. Ideas that make most people in my webcam show chatrooms angry or hostile or at the very least prone to belittling or ridiculing ME. It's particularly bad in my private camshow chatroom. People have turned me into a stand-in scapegoat, and it hasn't been fun.

Sure, there's been a few folks who've intended for their "Hey, you look like Sarah Palin/Tina Fey!" to be a compliment, but the nitty gritty is that the majority of the time what follows isn't pretty. If my one-on-one camshow chatters see me more as Sarah Palin then it's the perfect catalyst for them to try to abuse me because they don't like her. Vent all of their political frustrations on to me because she's not as directly accessible. I remember one private camshow I had where all my viewer typed throughout our session was verbiage along the lines of: "Yea, gonna hate fuck that republican pussy til it busts open" or something like that. It was more than I wanted to deal with, something I hadn't anticipated as we hadn't really discussed it beforehand, but at least I can console myself with the fact that was a show that I earned money for and maybe I provided much needed therapy in a safer venue for my aggressive chatter than if he'd wanted to take his frustrations elsewhere. I'm a big girl, I can always "End Show" if I'm being asked to perform in ways that I don't like or am not capable of. Ending a private camshow session is something I've very rarely resorted to because it's largely unnecessary. I've been a camwhore long enough to screen out unsuitable shows based on what my chatters say before we even have the opportunity to "go there". Obviously though, my experience and intuition aren't 100% infallible.

Most of the time, my chatters tend just use my look-alikeness as the excuse for NOT getting a private show with me. If my one-on-one chatters preferred to see me more as Tina Fey, then they seemed to have more expectations that I'd be more funny than I really am, and this REALLY takes us off course. My job is to be a sexual turn-on, and my sensual energy has a price tag on it that's paid in a per-minute-fashion -- not do a comedy routine in my free chat lobby for FREE. I suppose I could try to be more funny if asked to be so in a paid-for show, but you know, I've never been asked for that. Not once have I been asked to perform stand-up comedy in a private show.

I had high hopes that after the election was over that my term of being a Just-As-Good-As-A-Palin-Punching-Bag would be over too, but both Sarah Palin and Tina Fey have gone supernova famous, and there is no end in sight. It doesn't matter if Sarah Palin resigns as governor because she's not going to permanently leave public eye. Anyone who thinks she's going to fade away must be more blind than I am when I take off my "Sarah Palin Glasses". *Grumble grumble*

Perhaps what most bothers me, since I'm doomed to be a Palin/Fey look-alike, is how MEAN and HATEFUL so many liberals, people who claim to be "so much more fair and open-minded" are towards Palin. I don't want to be slammed for saying this, I'd love to remain all Swizterland-Neutral/Non-Political/Warm & Fuzzy, but maybe after reading all of this rant, it might occur to some of those in anti-Palin camp that being so consumed by hate/fear/loathing that you're constantly getting personal and blasting her and her family in your twitter isn't showing anyone how your political stance is better. It's breeding more of the same and that same winds up in my chatroom trying to hate fuck me or just fuck me out of money. It truly bothers me that it's probably because Sarah Palin is an attractive female that she is hated WAY MORE than her fellow male conservative counterparts. The way the hate missiles are launched at her and her children most likely wouldn't have happened if she had been born with a penis.

And it's not helpful that I'm not even the slightest bit flattered to be compared to Tina Fey. I never watched 30 Rock and I seldom catch Saturday Night Live, but I did hear about her interview in Vanity Fair and that's pretty much turned me off. Way off. I felt personally insulted when I read this: "I love to play strippers and to imitate them,” says Fey. “I love using that idea for comedy, but the idea of actually going there? I feel like we all need to be better than that. That industry needs to die, by all of us being a little bit better than that." Which industry is is that needs to die? Oh, right, the one I happily work in of my own choice, the adult entertainment industry.

Le Sigh.

Was this rant long enough for you? It's more than I intended to write, that's for sure. I wanted to unburden myself, and I'm certain that after I hit "Publish Post" that I'll instantly feel better. It's not as if I'm in a bad mood today or anything. I'll just be sure to NOT wear my glasses tonight when I webcam. I'll put on half a pound of black eye liner, a full pound of eye shadow, and lots and lots of red lipstick. Maybe then I'll look like the fun & sexy adult entertainer that I strive to be. Meow.

AmateurCamz/PrivateCamz Update

2009-06-29T02:27:00.008-07:00

The owner of Camz sent all of the performers on the Camz network an email explain the recent tech issues: As it turns out, the building where the computers for Camz are hosted was to receive an upgrade to their air conditioning. Instead of doing the A/C units one at a time as instructed, they shut down all of the A/C units at once. The temporary units brought in were not enough to keep the data center cooled. This caused the data center to overheat and machines were shut down. The hosting company was not at fault since they were not even notified of the air unit upgrade. However, the end result was Camz lost a few core machines. This caused a great deal of downtime and instability. Long story short is that Camz has the new machines and is nearing the completion of many of the transfers that will once again add stability to the network. They've even taken it a step further and set up redundancy to their core machines to avoid issues like this in the future.

So there we are. You know what I know. What I wrote above is pretty much a regurgitation of the email I received. I'm optimistic that the worst is behind us and that my regular one-hour shows will more *regular*. My current weekly showtime is still: Tuesdays, 7pm ET / 4pm PT. See you tomorrow? Join my site to get a ticket to the show and see thousands of naughty pictures & hours of video of me to boot.

CamZ Group Show Not Happening = Tech Issues

2009-06-23T16:38:00.004-07:00

Figured it would be a good idea to record a vlog explaining about my group camshow situation -- Camz has been experiencing quite a few technical issues over the last month or so, and so it's been a gamble whether or not my shows would still be, well, showing. I'm going to see what's happening with my support request, and if they can give us any sort of time frame on when their server problems are going to be over. In all honesty, I'm not sure that they'll have any specific answers to give. Problems just happen.

If you're a member of either of my sites AmberLily.net or NymphFeet.com -- trust in knowledge that I will find another broadcasting method for my once a week group shows, if necessary. Stay tuned!!

Archie Andrews + Veronica Lodge = Forever

2009-06-22T01:41:00.031-07:00

When BigD had first told me that my first comic book love Archie Andrews was proposing to Veronica Lodge in the 600th issue of Archie, and that it was all over the news, I wasn't the least bit surprised. Not even a smidgen. (Well, okay, I was surprised it was all over the news since "Archie" hasn't been a mega-trendy comic in awhile now.) If Archie was ever going to be forced to choose between Betty & Veronica, my vote was for Veronica as she made the most logical sense. I know, I know. That's not the answer you'd expect from me, is it?

I read Archie Comics for a few years mostly during the span of junior high (or middle school as it's called in Southern California) and have quite the collection gathering dust in storage down there at BigD's mom's house. I used to draw fashions for both Betty & Veronica and even had one of my designs chosen for Veronica in an early issue of her self-named title. I also used to write little articles or reports that the kids send in to Archie Comics that they in turn publish within a few of their titles and award small monetary prizes to. Winning those 1st & 2nd prizes with checks for $10/$12 (the exact amounts escapes me) not only were my first publication credits but totally fed my comic collection -- the funds literally went back to Archie in the form of subscriptions to all of my favorite titles. "Betty's Diary" was at the top of my list. Entire issues all from Betty's perspective. I loved Betty. Betty Cooper is the epitome of the "girl next door." Always sweet. Always doing the right thing. Always so conscious of what others feel and think. Always. And she never changed, at least not much over the years I followed her inner most thoughts. Too often, an almost complete doormat to Archie; he walked all over her in favor of Veronica without even a second thought most of the time. It was heartbreaking. The times that Betty actually did win Archie's attention were bittersweet.

The argument should not be Betty versus Veronica for the role of wife to Archie, but rather -- why would Betty want to be with someone who never truly appreciated her natural beauty, talents or intellect anyway? Archie's choice was clear to me years ago. The epitome "boy next door" wants what he wants, and he wants the stunning brunette heiress who has *actually* had some character growth in recent years. True, I haven't picked up an issue since I moved out of Memphis and left my favorite comic book shop behind, but at last glance -- Veronica wasn't a spoiled brat princess *all* of the time. Okay, so she'd still be flippant with her friends feelings, but she *learned* from her mistakes and made more efforts to be more like Betty while still being herself in the stories I remember. Veronica isn't heartless or brainless, and is more than just Gossip Girl precursor. Don't believe me? Go on, pick up a few of her issues, and you'll see she's more complicated than that. To say that Archie's making a mistake, isn't giving the characters, or the folks who've shaped them, enough credit. A marriage between Archie and Veronica is more challenging for those characters. There's more passion between them. Archie has never said that he sees Veronica more "like his sister" than his girlfriend. Once you hear words like that come out of Archie-kin's mouth, how can anyone think that his ultimate choice would be Betty Cooper?

Naturally, I'm not sure that I believe that this wedding will take place, that the legendary love-triangle will truly end. But it looks like I need to find my way to a comic book store, ya know, just to be sure.

Members Updated, Wand Grinding In White Panties

2009-06-17T04:21:00.011-07:00

Posted a new video for members of my site this morning: Wand Grinding In White Panties. It's 13+ minutes of my grinding on top of my Hitachi Magic Wand (okay, okay so it's a rip off no-name brand wand massager actually, but most folks aren't paying attention to such meaningless details) while wearing white nylon/spandex panties. I'd say that these panties are pretty much in the boyshorts category except they fit a bit higher on the waist than many of my other boyshorts. And while they aren't in the "see-through" category, there is some definite camel toe action going on. My panties do get pulled to the side while I'm playing with my wand but they stay on for the duration of this video. Through the orgasm and all. A little tricky at times to keep my ass in front of the camera, I'd like to think it'll be memorable for members.

*Yawns*

Whoa, so it's like 4:37am, and I'm dying for some shut-eye. Glad I popped in here to share the video caps for my latest self-filmed panty video. I'm sure I'll sleep a lot better knowing that I was so productive today: group cam show, private cam shows, twitter updates, 12 second video entry, members update, and a little blog entry *bragging* about all of today's accomplishments, lol.

Nope, Not Warm Enough To Go Swimming Yet

Even if it's not warm enough here in the Pacific Northwest for us UNfeathered types to take a dip, you won't hear Boy Duck and his companion Girlfriend Duck complaining. These two ducks are regulars at our apartment complex's pool. How do I know they're regulars? Well, since the Exercise Room is frequently closed with all of the remodeling this place is doing, I've started going on walks to help make sure I'm getting *some* kind of exercise and fresh air. I see Boy Duck almost every day I'm out. I wouldn't imagine that the chlorinated water would be good for them, but I'm not sure that there even IS that much going on chemical-wise since no one else is using the pool. Or probably even will until maybe next month. So Boy Duck and Girlfriend Duck have the place to themselves, and they give me something to look forward to after I've huffed and puffed my way up and down the steep nearby hills. I made sure to bring my camera with me this last time so I should share what a great couple they make.

I hope that everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day Weekend!
