Sorry I've been kinda quiet. I've had a really rough day. I really need cheering up. :(

Apple Computer announced today that it has developed a computer chip that can store and play music in women's breast implants.

The iBreast will cost $499 to $599.

This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

The MRI came back okay, so thankfully it's not a spine injury. The problem seems to be my muscles along my spine and in my neck are in severe spasm. I have to go back to the physical therapist on Tuesday again. I am trying not to take the pain killers or muscle relaxers (even though they really don't seem to be working) but I'm still in a great deal of pain. Last night was really difficult and I didn't end up getting to sleep until after 4am. :( Some of you know I have been going through a lot of (still) undiagnosed health problems and though I don't talk much about it, it's incredibly discouraging to have one more thing wrong. I'm hanging in there I guess. *sigh* Well, enough about that.

I have a couple new things I'll be adding to the site soon, so be sure to check my News & Updates soon for any additions. Look for some new auctions coming soon too.

I just wanted to thank those of you again who have sent your well wishes. I am touched by those of you out there who continue to keep me in your thoughts. Thank you again, you know who you are.

Ok, off to the doctor's but if you want a good laugh watch this video. I usually hate YouTube videos but this is really really funny.

The MRI technician I had today had to be the bitchiest around. Now granted this is my fourth MRI so I'm pretty used to the routine, but this one was the worst yet. I can tell you I will never go back to this imaging center again.

So I go in, I get undressed and put on the gown, blah, blah, blah and the technician tells me my sequence will be 45 minutes. I wasn't thrilled that I was going to have to be smooshed into the little tube for 45 minutes but whatever.

Now I have had both open and closed MRIs and while open is defintiely preferrable, closed is not SO bad... well that's what I thought until this last one. I get all situated on the narrow little plank and get moved into the tube. Perhaps I have just been pampered but in every MRI I have had the technician has kept in contact with me over the speaker making sure I'm okay and keeping me updated as to the progress of the test-- as in "This next set will last 7 minutes" or "You can relax for a minute" Not this one.

After what seemed like (and I confirmed afterwards) at least an hour I started to wiggle uncomfortably. I hadn't heard a peep from the technician and then she comes over the speaker "You okay?" Actually I wasn't okay. My neck and back began to lock and I desperately needed to move. She pulled me out of the tube and let me stretch for about 5 seconds then snaps at me the question of why my neck and back are locking. Um, that's why I'm there in the first place. I don't know why. She asks me if it's something "systemic". How the hell do I know? If I knew what was wrong I wouldn't be having an MRI in the first place. She then informed me it was going to be just 15 more minutes. Ok, despite being in severe pain at this point I figured I could stomach another 15 minutes. Well, she really meant another 45 minutes. I am not exaggerating, I checked the time when I left the place.

Well my neck and back couldn't handle it any longer so I begin to shout that I can't do this anymore. She tells me I need to wait another two and a half minutes. That seemed to be her only accurate calculation of time. She pulls me out and tells me she was only able to complete three out of the four parts of the test because of my inability to lie still, but that three out of the four should be good enough. If the test was only supposed to be 45 minutes what in the world had she been doing for 2 hours?? Turns out she was doing more than one person at the same time. Lame. Apparently I wasn't the only unhappy camper either. The waiting room was filled with people complaining left and right.

So I'm pretty grouchy. Oh and when I arrived they asked me which rib hurt. I was like "What???" Apparently they couldn't read the doctor's handwritting and I nearly had an MRI of my ribs. Perfect. I also only got about 4 hours of sleep last night. Boo. I really need to rest. :( After tomorrow's appointment I am just giving up and pain or no pain I need to get back to all my emails and updating the site. I don't have time for more ailments.

Someone has decided to literally copy my entire Payment & Shipping page, images and all and post it to their new used panty site with the slightest word change here or there. Let's see if this will resolve on it's own. Kinda a dumb idea considering my site has been around and is very well known. Oh and they even had the balls to offer "Rush Wear" with the same description and all.

Well I finally peeled myself from my bed and got out of the house to get a peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks - yum! It's the only hot beverage I'll drink. No coffee, no tea. And not any hot chocolate will do. Only a non-fat peppermint hot chocolate with whip from Starbucks. I'm picky.

So, the pain is about the same but I think I'm getting used to it, sadly. I took a really long nap this afternoon, which was a nice break from the discomfort. My appointment for the MRI is tomorrow but I won't have the results until Tuesday when I go see the doctor and physical therapist. Keep your fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

I have been itching to do some work on the site but I've been so immobile I haven't been able to sit at the computer long enough to do anything worthwhile. In other news, I think I killed my plant. I have had this one plant for like 2 years now. It doesn't really require regular watering but I guess it's been awhile since I last watered it, with all the stuff going on, and it doesn't look so well. It's not totally dead yet, so I think I can nurse it back to health. Kinda silly, but the plant means a lot to me.

Off topic but, I wanted to thank Anna for all she has done for the used panty community. It seems like more and more often girls enter the world of selling used panties and bring along a really foul attitude. It's no wonder so many come and go so quickly. Anna has several recent posts on her blog regarding some recent drama of the sort. She even posted some comments in one of the entries from yours truly. :) You rock Anna.

Ok, that's it for now... I did update the Panty Pic of the Week so you have something to view while you wait for my return. Don't expect much from me until probably tomorrow evening though. I will be dealing with doctor stuff almost all day.

Hope everyone had a great weekend... well, at least better than mine. lol

It seems like the new muscle relaxer may be helping... a little bit. Either that or my muscles are just getting tired of being stubborn and tight and giving up. I still require my pain medication to make it through the day and I think the other side of my neck might be on it's way to locking down like the right side did. Sigh. I decided against taking the 3 Percocet as they just made me a dizzy little lady and beyond nauseous, though I will say that I did feel a bit better pain wise. I'm now just taking one to two every 6 hours or so, so I can move... a little.

I've basically spent the last 3 days in bed and generally feel like I've been hit by a bus. Monday is my MRI and I'm not looking forward to it. I don't talk too much about my health on here but this will be my third MRI in a little over a year. Given they were all for different things I think I deserve a VIP parking spot at the hospital and doctor's office for how much I seem to have to visit. Let's just hope they say it's nothing really serious. I seriously don't know if I'll be able to handle another thing to add to the list.

I haven't felt up to sitting long enough to answering emails (after about 5 minutes sitting I cringe and have to go lay back down) but I have read through a few and I wanted to thank those of you who have sent your kind, encouraging words. They are appreciated.

I hope to be back in commission at least to answer emails on Monday. We'll see though. Ok, back to bed.

I had good intentions of posting an update when I got home but stumbled to my bed instead and passed out until now -- 9:30pm.

The doctor basically told me that I was prescribed what should help and for some reason my muscles are going into very severe spasm. It actually was worse than I thought and starts mid-spine up to the base of my skull. There's nothing else he can prescribe me but more Percocet, which he did, but I'm trying not to take it because I'm now forced to sleep with a big bowl in my bed from repeated trips running to the bathroom to throw up from way too much medication in my system and I have completely lost my appetite :(

I have a new muscle relaxer that might work better than the Skalexis but I haven't taken it yet because I'm afraid one more pill might actually put that bowl in my bed to use-- over and over again.

Monday I have to go in for an MRI of my neck and back and I have an appointment with a physical therapist on Tuesday. I hate physical therapy. I had to go once for a different injury and it was pure torture. I was kind of surprised (and concerned) at the urgency the doctor booked these appointments. Usually things don't happen this snappy and they don't hand out this much Percocet. Apparently I look like I'm in pain-- which I should, cause F**K I AM!

I guess on a more positive, with the volume of prescriptions I have had to process in the past week I now have $175 in Target gift cards from the $25 new prescription coupons. If only I had known that Target accepted the CVS prescription transfer coupons last week! I had $275 in gift cards from CVS that could've been at Target, which could've bought me an Xbox. Pathetic, I know.

I still haven't visited email or any of that yet. Back to bed for me. :(

Well, I still can't move. At least not more than to go to the bathroom and getting up to post this quick update. The muscle relaxer is doing nothing. My neck is still locked and I can't sit up on my own. The Percocet is not killing the pain in the least bit. I've now taken 3 Percocet (5-525) tablets this morning along with my non-functioning muscle relaxer and surprise, surprise--- zero effect. I tried to get in to see the spinal surgeon guy but he's booked till mid-October and he'd be an out of network doctor on my insurance anyway-- which means I can't afford it.

I'm going in to see my regular doctor this afternoon to see if there's a different muscle relaxer that will at least um.... actually "relax" my muscles. I know he's going to think I'm full of shit that nothing has worked. The doctor in the ER could hardly believe the nurse when she told him the morphine didn't work, "It's been 45 minutes and the morphine didn't work... No, she is still in pain.... No, she definitely is. I can tell by looking at her face...." I just really didn't want to spend the weekend bed-ridden in agony but it seems like it's heading in that direction.

So for now, I still can't move, but just feel incredibly doped up and still in the same amount of pain. :(

So it's now 4:05pm and I have just gotten out of bed, only to go back as soon as I finish typing this or at least trying without screaming in agony. Last night (or early this morning depending on how you look at it) at 12:30am I decided to move. Bad idea. No, I wasn't researching new apartments or packing up my belongings, I simply decided to move, as in act alive, move my body, walk, talk, etc.

My shoulder had been sore the entire day but nothing new as I frequently have some shoulder and neck pain. But at 12:30 my neck decided to lock-- all the way from my shoulder to the base of my skull. Oh my god, there is nothing more painful. Seriously. 9 out of 10 on the pain scale and that's only cause I always think there has to be something more painful.

I ended up spending three and a half hours in the emergency room last night and that was all treatment time as there was (gasp!) no wait. As tears were running silently down my face (sorry to be dramatic but that's the way it really was) they gave me a Valium and super-strength Motrin (which was the biggest pill I have ever swallowed in my life). Perfect. I should be feeling better right? Yeah... nothing. Didn't even take the edge off.

Next course of action-- give me a shot of Morpheine. That definitely should do it, right?? Nope. Still feel as shitty as ever and now that several hours have passed of being in neck lockdown I can't take it anymore. How the hell does a shot of Morphine, a Valium, and tons of Motrin have ZERO effect on me?

So the last resort was a shot of Dilaudid, apparently stronger than the Morphine shot. Only after my super cocktail of Dilaudid, Morphine, Valium, and Motrin did it take the edge off the pain. :( I walked out of there dizzy as shit, not to mention I had 2 beers before this whole ordeal occurred, but still in almost unbearable pain.

Got home, puked twice from too many painkillers and went to sleep uncomfortably. I'm now on Skalexis and Percoset, which is doing pretty much nothing. I took two Percoset and a Skalexis and that basically brings down the volume of my screams of agony from 100 to 98. I'm taking them every 4 hours too and all I can do is lay still like a corpse in bed and require assistance to sit up.

I'm supposed to see a spinal surgeon after all of this. Great, just what I need. Another doctor. The X-rays showed my spine is permanently straight at my neck, not curved like it's supposed to be. So basically this will happen again and again. Perfect.

I won't be responding to any email today or doing pretty much anything. It's pretty unbearable, who am I kidding it IS unbearable to even type this, but I felt obligated to. So back to bed for me. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow. :(

A peek at my newest auction... Yummy!


I will be updating my XXXBox auction soon too... *wink*

So yesterday I was checking up on my web stats and was puzzed by the marked decline in referrals from Google. There didn't seem to be a decline in traffic but a definite drop off in visitors coming from Google, basically almost none. I hadn't checked them in awhile so I thought *shrug* it was probably due to whatever crazy algorithm Google uses. Just my shit luck. Do a search and you'll find tons of people bitching about the fickleness of Google-- on top of search results one day and virtually non-existent (no pun intended) the next day. Upon further investigation, Google last indexed my site in May! Yikes! WTF! Then I poked around and discovered somehow I managed to slip a robots meta tag to stop search engines from indexing my home page. How the hell that happened I have NO clue. How the hell my traffic didn't dramatically decline? Some little internet angel must be watching over me. haha

Speaking of checking on my stats, I noticed an interesting referral from a visitor using Yahoo to search for information on Pretty Puss. The exact keywords, "prettypuss.net scam". I suppose someone was a little skeptical? I guess I would be too if I was a potential buyer, given the life span of the average used panty seller and the fact that probably 10 more panty sites have launced and died in the time it took me to write this blog. It gave me a good chuckle. I'm glad there are used panty consumers out there that are educating themselves.

If you're looking to educate yourself further on the topic I encourage you to check out Panty Hog, a great online used panty community (which I am a proud member of) with tons of information! You are also welcome to check out a blog entry I wrote in February regarding none other than used panty scammers.

Meanwhile, I don't work this hard to rip people off. :P
*kisses*

Get excited! I'm going to be posting some new updates and goodies to my current auction soon-- themed of course, to fit with the auction! I just haven't had the time to take the pictures and post the updates. I'll probably be updating either tomorrow night or Tuesday!

On that note, hmmm maybe I should contact the winner of this eBay auction and get together for a naughty photo shoot. hahaha

I have waaaaaay too much to do today and I'm running behind. I have an appointment I'm running late for and millions of emails to send. If you're anticipating an email with photos, delivery confirmation, etc. today you will get it tonight because I will be gone most of the day, but the goods are going in the mail in just a few minutes!

It's not often that I share responses from buyers but I wanted to share an email I received recently. It was so descriptive I couldn't resist sharing it with you. It's positive responses like this that make it all worthwhile. Special thanks to you-know-who-you-are for allowing me to share this with the world. *hehe*

It is great to see you back and involved. You have been very busy and all your new items just make me crazy, thinking about those erotic photos you sent wearing my choice of thong. Of course, I will have to have more of you! Isn't it nice to be wanted? I hope you do not mind my language, but I am so anxious to have your scent covering that little cotton panel, coating it with the light and dark stains. I want it to be stiff from dried-on Mackenzie, so that i have to peel it apart and unfold it to find all that white coating, to bury my nose into it and inhale the most delightful, earthy smell in the world. I want to lick it and taste the salty, coppery taste of you and imagine what you must be like just home after a long day at work, as you let me slowly peel off your jeans and thong, to be greeted with that heady perfume that is you. All I can think of is burying my face in that soft, pouty mound I saw in those photos. You must be delicious, all salt and syrup. I would love to be covered in you, to have your tangy scent linger on my cheecks to remind me of where I had been. Later, I would hold my fingers to my nose and inhale you scent once again and want you all the more. This is what I think of when I think of Mackenzie's panties; it is just a little different from what I think about when I think of Mackenzie the woman. I hope you don't mind; I know you are a person, but your panties have a very strong, arousing power that re-directs my thoughts.

Your fan,
X

Remember to thank your panty girl, girls, whoever she may be! You might think it's easy to do this, I mean how hard can wearing panties be? Ahhh, but that's the easy part my friend! Any girl in the business for awhile knows it's tough work. Nice feedback like this is always welcome! Oh, and flattery too! :P Love you guys!

It's been forever since I had an auction on Ebanned up but I've finally listed one you're not going to want to miss! It's themed, it's fun, and all around awesome. ;) Here's a sneak peek...

Why am I becoming inundated with spam all of a sudden for "The Paris Hilton porn"?? Anyone else getting this crap? And it's not going to my spam filter no matter how many times I mark it as spam. Grrrrr.... Boo to spam.

On another note, I am hoping to get pics taken tonight and post a fun new auction this evening. I'll post here once it's all set up. Just a heads up folks!

Oooh and the final HOH competition of Big Brother 8 is tonight! Wooooooo Hoooooooo! Soooo excited. For all my American visitors out there. :)

One of my buyers posted about this in one of the forums I visit and after visiting the site, I couldn't help but post. The German company Vulva Original (http://smellmeand.com/index_2.html) claims to have bottled the scent of a woman's pussy. It's not a perfume, just a vial you sniff at your leisure, or as so eloquently put on the website, "a beguiling vaginal scent which is purely substance for your own smelling pleasure."

I really don't know how I feel about this. Is there really a market for this? Call me crazy but there seems to me something a little creepy about a guy (or girl, I suppose) carrying around a vial of fake pussy scent and taking a hit every so often like a crackpipe. Does the scent of a woman not lose it's allure when it's clearly um... not from a real woman?

I am insanely curious and if a vial wasn't a little over $27, and I wasn't flat broke, I might fork over the bucks to see what chemists have concocted as "pussy". The funny thing is every woman smells different. I don't believe there is a universal pussy scent. That's why so many panty buyers have to shop around for the right seller-- what's good for one is less than satisfactory for another.

The gentleman who originally posted this on another forum brought up an interesting point-- if this really smelled like pussy, would panty sellers be using it to amp up the scent in their own pairs, or even eliminate having to wear them at all?

Well, first and foremost, that would be terribly dishonest and I would definitely not be a seller that would resort so low to cheating my buyers. But the bigger point is the one made a couple paragraphs ago. Every girl has a different scent and if every seller used fake pussy to scent their panties, all used panties would smell the same and then what would be the point??

Their Alexa rating is not bad at 217,159, meaning the site IS getting traffic. But are people really buying? I just have a hard time believing this product has any longevity.

Maybe it's everything going on, maybe it's cause I completely couldn't get a good night's sleep last night, maybe it's the day it is, I just feel down. I think I'm gonna take a day off and go to the beach. The weather is cooling off pretty quickly but today is supposed to be pretty warm so I think I'm going to take advantage of it and hopefully work on a bit of a tan. I was taking a look at some pictures from a year ago and damn I am white this year! Then again I was able to afford a membership and a tanning salon at that time, so that's probably why.

Ok well, have a peaceful day. I gotta jump in the shower.

So like every girl, I'd like to lose a few pounds but more importantly eat more healthy. I used to be pretty hardcore about eating completely healthy and over the past few years I sorta let that go to hell. I'm starting a new diet that I'm pretty excited about. Lots of protein, lots of fiber, low glycemic carbs, and healthy fats. I think this one might work for me, but we'll see. Everyone's always optimisitic on the first day of a diet, right?

Well I had some yummy bran flakes, skim milk and kiwi this morning for breakfast. We'll see how long this lasts... No, but seriously I'm gonna try to stick with it and keep you updated on my progress ;)

It's been awhile since I've posted a new "Panty Pick" so I thought I'd give you all a little eye-candy to drool over...

Just working on catching up with the flood of emails. My internet connection has been spotty and I'm in the process of trying to switch providers so I don't have this problem. Damn cable company! I also just wanted to give a heads up that I will be posting some new auctions soon (it has been quite awhile and I know my auction boys have missed me... hehe). Hope you had a great weekend!

You have probably been wondering where in the world I have been hiding. My internet got shut down this past month so that meant no emails, no updates, no nothing. :( The past few weeks have been a nightmare. I try to keep my personal life private from my online activites but without going into too much detail a close family member passed away, my main source of income was completely terminated (and for those of you who have known me for a long time you know that I have health problems that do not allow me to work full-time). My internet was shut down because I could not pay the bill and I landed up back in the hospital for my medical conditions and have been trying to just get back to a functioning level. And can you believe it, in the midst of everything I actually WAS worrying about my panty buyers since I had no way of contacting you guys.

The internet is obviously back up and running and right now I'm working on going through an inbox that is busting at the seams with emails and orders. Right now I'm just trying to get in contact with my current buyers who have outstanding orders that are waiting to be worn and sent. I worked hard for a long time to build a stellar reputation. It's bumps in the road like this that make me feel discouraged and while I know I need to take care of me first and foremost, I hate leaving anyone who's depending on me hanging. For everyone's orders that were affected this past month I am including free my $50.00 anal photo set as a thank you for your patience and understanding. I'm working on getting them out as fast as I can wear them.

Of course as I was trying this blog entry my fucking (excuse my language) computer crashes. It has been doing that a lot lately and I'm really worried it's time has come. :( I'm not really sure what to do because I really can't afford to get a new one right now. Hell, I don't even know if I'll have a place to live in a month! :( I really want to get a new Mac Book Pro but 2k for the lowest model, YIKES! My current computer is a PowerBook G4 and I love it so much but it was a gift and I could never afford a new one. Sigh.

I guess there's some good news to report for Pretty Puss. This site is featured in an article in the upcoming issue of YRB Magazine about the online panty business. I was one of two panty sellers interviewed for the article! Yep, boys and girls a REAL magazine that is sold with glossy pages and all. Hehe. Your girl Mackenzie is famous. ;)
