Sexy Used Panties

I’m running with Karen’s post yesterday and continuing the underwear discussion.

Say, did you know there is a thriving internet market involving used women’s panties? Well, there is. For example, this resourceful college student started selling her underpants to pay for her textbooks. And here’s another site by three young ladies from New Jersey. Their site is called Sniff Us and you just pick your girl, send her an email and viola! A pair of freshly soiled panties arrive on your doorstep lickity-split for your smelling pleasure.

Think this is just a US fetish craze? Nope. You can have some dirty British knickers, as well!

Wondering how this works? Here is a quote from Sniff Us:

We will wear each pair for the whole day; plus, we all sleep in our panties, so first thing in the morning, off they come and then they will be placed straight into a zip lock bag to keep the freshness in and natural aroma stored for your pleasure. This will then be mailed first class in a plain padded envelope to you. We are all non- smokers, so your panties will smell of only of our natural aroma.

You know what, while the idea of panty sniffing doesn’t appeal to me, I think it’s great that nowadays no fetish needs to go ignored. I mean, even if you’re living in some isolated cabin in North Dakota, as long as you have an internet connection, you can still have your panty and smell them, too.

Pretty cool, right?

Okay well I came upon these photos quite by accident - I saw them on someone’s myspace page. Very random, just me scrolling along and then I caught sight of ‘em and was like (record scratch) whoa.

At first I was like, ha ha. That’s funny. Then the more I looked at them, the more it grossed me out. I so wouldn’t do this! I don’t find this glamorous or sexy. In fact, it kind of grosses me out.

Want to see what I’m talking about? Well check it out.

It’s not what you think!!! Get your mind out of my ass the gutter. I’m talking ANAL RETENTIVE not, well, you know! For the most part, I’m the most laid back, easy going person around. I don’t sweat the small stuff and I love to pet the sweaty stuff. Ahem, anyway I’m late blogging today because I had to do real work and it was the type of work you have to be super-duper anal retentive about. It’s the type of work I AM super-duper anal retentive about–and if you ever saw my house you would wonder about me calling myself AR (Anal Retentive). You see, my mother was AR about the housework. ALL ABOUT THE HOUSEWORK. I, on the other hand, AM NOT. However, when I ask folks to do something (children included) I expect it to be done correctly. Ahem. When it comes to writing I also have AR tendancies. I will double and triple check timelines, I will double and triple check plot points even going so far as to email my crit partners asking them if something I think is plausible, is plausible. And if it’s something I KNOW isn’t plausible, I ask them for help–I’m not afraid to be critical of my own work.

So Are you Anal? And if so, what are you anal about?

I said purse–in case your mind went dirty. Purses are so fun and personal. What kind we use in general, and what goes in them.

So today I have a two part question for you. We’re getting purseonal. *Wince* Bad joke? Well I made it in the subject line, too. I’m full of them. Don’t get me going. Okay. Onto the question.

The first part…

Do you like a designer purse that screams designer–like has the name somewhere on it.

Or do you like to a purse that still looks fabulous–but doesn’t scream who made it.

Me, I’m the purse with no names. That little hippie purse above is by Isabella Fiore, but you may not know that unless you happen to drool over her stuff (like me! And some day, with a nice royalty check/advance I’ll buy one. Maybe.).

Second question. If we were to turn your purse upside down and shake it, what would we find? Besides a wallet. What’s in your purse? Like without fail? Here’re mine…

1. Cell phone. I can’t imagine not having my cell phone on me. When I forget it at home or something, I feel naked. Panicked. Isolated.

2. Inhaler (yes I’m asthmatic) That’s another panic moment when I forget it. If I don’t have it I swear it’s hard to breathe. Just because I know I don’t have it.

3. Lip gloss I don’t do makeup every day by any means, but I AM a lip gloss addict. Completely. Like any brand from cheap to way too much. I love it. All flavors and colors. I. Dig. Lip gloss.

4. Fortunes and receipts: these tend to just be sprawled around the interior of my purse. I need to clean up my purse, like, daily. I save my fortune cookie fortunes (well I do have fortune cookie Thursday on my blog!) and forget to throw away receipts.

5. USB key chain: though I don’t use it enough at all! It’s the free pink one I got at RWA last year. With Harper Collins on it I think? Like the best free promo item EVER!

So come on ladies–and gents?–spill it!

Did you see that freaky Tom Cruise video? Well, this isn’t it, but it’s just as funny.

Sexy…With Your Clothes on

Ever since I was a kid I used to daydream…picture fantastic scenes unfolding in my mind. So as an author I tend to “see” scenes play out in my head like I’m watching a movie.

Some of the sexiest scenes in books or movies, in my opinion, involve intense emotions, friction, conflict, and surrender.

The other night I was channel surfing and I happened upon the famous Burt Landcaster/Deborah Kerr scene in From Here to Eternity. You know the one, the two of them rolling around on the beach, kissing and holding each other. (I tried not to think about where sand was ending up <G>). They were in bathing suits, sure, but it wasn’t just Burt’s handsome chest that made this scene sexy. These were two characters who risked their lives to be together and finally succumbed to their attraction.

Another favorite of mine (don’t laugh) is the scene in “It’s a Wonderful Life” when Donna Reed and James Stewart are standing in her mother’s entryway taking on the phone to Donna’s boyfriend. Remember the scene? Donna’s playing coy, trying to get close to James and, well, he loses it, telling her he’s not interested, doesn’t want to settle down and – WHAMMO – they’re kissing. And I mean really kissing! They’ve fought the attraction long enough and are just to weak to keep up the battle.

I’ll let you guess this third favorite. The heroine is a nanny to his many kids (I lost count) and the hero is set to marry another woman. Again, they are both fully clothed. (Sorry.) This scene is skillfully designed as hero and heroine stroll across the property, the moonlight outlining their silhouettes as they profess their forbidden love for one another. ::: sigh ::: I guess my point is, some of the best scenes I’ve read or seen on the big screen are exceptional because of the highly charged emotions, not necessarily because everyone’s naked. Although that’s fun too. <G> (If you have examples to share, bring ‘em on.)

In my January release, Soldier Surrender, Katie Anderson has to keep a hallucinating Gray Turner from exposing their location to the enemy. How does she do that? By kissing him, of course! But not because she wants to, oh no. LOL

What are some of your favorite sexy scenes? Do tell. It’s what we live for!

Cheers!

New Years Check in

Did you make any resolutions for the New Year? I didn’t. Well, on my birthday I decided to change my diet by going vegan, and to learn belly dance, but that was it for me.

It’s funny because around the first of January there is a lot of talk of goals, resolutions, and that sort of thing. People talk about everything from submitting their manuscript by a certain date to losing one hundred pounds. And during that first week everyone is stoked, there is a flurry of activity on all the weight loss forums, and then a few weeks later things are much quieter and a few weeks after that things are pretty dead.

I wonder why people always feel the need to set these massive goals on December thirty-first. Don’t get me wrong, I do it too. I was over at Peertrainer every day logging all my meals, supporting others convinced that if I so my entire life would be perfect! And now, four weeks after I started, I don’t get over there as much, and I haven’t’ logged a meal in days.

So how do we keep up that initial passion we have when we set our resolutions? I have no idea. I’m still vegan, and belly dance lessons start Monday. But I’m not as excited as I was when I set my goals. Maybe it’s because change takes time, and we think that our lives will become wonderful if we just exercise five times a week. When that doesn’t happen maybe we get disheartened and that’s when it’s so easy to run through the In-and-Out drive through. But don’t do it! Just sit down and remember why you set your original goal, and try and get back some of that enthusiasm! That’s what I’m going to do today
