Month: January 2008

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 then there’s SNUFF US — run 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? :hitit:

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…

:sup:

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!
