Pantyhose Feet

I'm back to work tonight (if you could call it that) shooting some gorgeous pantyhose pictures with a little high heel dangling action thrown in. If you're a fan of legs & high heels, then you'll love these pics. I play with my shoes all the time, letting them dangle off the tip of my toes as I cross & uncross my legs. I knew this was a subtle way of drawing attention, especially for foot & leg men, but I had no idea it was considered a fetish in its own right. I suppose shoeplay would technically be a a sub-niche of general foot fetish, but however you label it, I think most men get a little tingle watching sexy pantyhose feet slip in & out of a stilleto heel. I took lots of close-ups of my pantyhose covered soles too, so hopefully that will satisfy my bare feet lovers.

It'll take me a few days to get the pics edited & put into a gallery, but I'll make sure to update my blog with a few free pictures when I'm finished. Keep your eyes out for those!

For now, I'm grabbing some lotion & hitting the couch for a little barefoot massage & TV before bed. I've got another Christmas gathering to attend tomorrow so I shouldn't stay up too late, but I'm too excited to go to bed just yet. I love these new photos so much! Did I mention I'm wearing a toe ring under my pantyhose? *heehee*

Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays everyone!  Me & the pug are heading down to Calgary for a few days & probably won't have internet access unless I can find some neighborhood wireless.  If you're on the naughty list this year, at least you can enjoy unwrapping my feet in these pictures!

*hugs*

Foot Fetish Movies now in HDTV!

I bought a new HD camcorder a little while ago & have been excited to show off my bare feet in HDTV quality, but I wasn't counting on such a steep learning curve to get the movies to actually play on my computer! My sexy feet & soles definitely look sharper & the detail is fantastic - no complaints there. But I just uploaded a new movie for my foot fetish fans at Barefoot Kristy & I'm wondering if the clip is going to be TOO big for some folks. At over 50 MB for just 5 minutes, it'll take a few minutes to download & apparently some older computers without very good video cards have trouble playing HD quality files smoothly. I tested it on my oldest box & found it still played a bit choppy even with "Hardware Acceleration" set to Full.



I'd love to hear what you think! Do you want HD quality movies or did I get sucked in by marketing hype? LOL Would you rather see smaller movies that are faster to download? Hmmmm...slow or fast...soft or hard...what were we talking about again? =P

My Birthday Surprise

Shortest day of the year? Pfft! I crammed so much fun, tears & throat formula herbal tea into the 21st that it may have been one of my best birthdays ever. It was such a great day that getting walloped by the flu couldn't put a damper on the free-flowing birthday snot cheer.

It started with an invitation for brunch at 10:00 am. I figured there would be a few people coming to surprise me for breakfast since evening birthday celebrations in December tend to have poor turn-out when competing with Christmas parties, work functions & holidays out of town to visit the family unit. I was told nothing, however, but dressed it up a notch just in case. My friend picked me up as I was downing some DayQuil & we drove downtown for breakfast at an old historic hotel (think the Shining). I'd been there for cocktails & dinner before, but not breakfast so this was a delightful surprise. While we were waiting to be seated, I noticed she was careful to block my view so I couldn't peek into the dining area. Ah ha! I *knew* it wasn't just breakfast for two!

We walked in & right away I saw my table, not filled with friends & the odd family member, but a small table for 4 where my mom & dad were already seated sipping coffee. I burst into tears on the spot. I couldn't believe they drove all the way out here just to spend one day with me. They drove 18 hours just to turn around, drive home then get on a plane & fly out to Washington for Christmas. Crazy! And like my dad said when I talked to him last week, "it's not even a special birthday"! Yeah, yeah...all birthdays are special, but it's not like it was my 30th or another milestone. Still have a couple of years to go before I hit that one! Wonder what they're planning...hehe.

Anyways, hugs all around, more tears & the beginning of a perfect day. I guess my parents had been talking about that comment, that "it's not even a special birthday" zinger, & that got them to pondering when the last birthday was that they got to spend with me. I moved away from home when I was 18 to travel to Australia & though my family is very close, we don't get to see each other much more often than summer holidays & Christmas. I haven't been "home" on the 21st in years. That was enough reason for them to plan this covert birthday trip with my friends & I couldn't have asked for a better gift.

I got to show them my house now that it's all fixed up & in sale condition (they were shocked & very proud of my mad wood-working skillz), but the best part was just getting to hang out & talk with all of the special people in my life. We went to a movie in the afternoon (just me & my folks) & then all of my friends got together for dinner that night. It was wonderful for my parents to spend time with the friends that I talk about so much. It was definitely worth the 3 hour wait I just sat through at the doctor's office to get some antibiotics. I'm feeling very blessed. And feverish, so if this rambling makes no sense, you know why.

If you're heading out for your own holiday celebration, drive safe & stay warm!

*hugs*

Birthday Wishes

I've been purposely trying not to update my blog because I'm scared to jinx my good news by telling people too soon. I have an offer on my house(!) that includes most of the furniture(!!), so I could be out of here by the end of the month. The buyer is still waiting for financing stuff to come through, so I'm trying not to get too excited. But...yay! I really don't want the expense of moving most of my furniture out to BC, so selling the place furnished would be a huge time saver for me. No hassling with garage sale bargainers or dragging stuff to storage or more trips to Goodwill. Yahoooooooo!

But don't get too excited. =)

My birthday is coming up soon (the 21st) & I've had a lovely request for gift ideas, so I spent the morning going over my Amazon wishlist. I was treated again to a firsthand demonstration of how addictive shopping online can be. You just keep clicking & clicking & they keep showing you more things highly targeted to your shopping history. I showed great restraint by whittling the list down to 2 pages. Aren't I thoughtful? lol

***I should note here that I certainly don't *expect* gifts for my birthday or any other holiday. This discussion comes up pretty regularly in web girl circles & in the past I've linked to some other blog entries that summed up my thoughts perfectly. I'll have to do more digging to find 'em & would like to write more about this to link permanently, but it'll have to wait until I get back from the lawyer, gym & grocery store. Gotta beat those RL xmas shoppers!

Happy Friday!

It's sunny out today & the snow is starting to melt. Might be a good day to test out the willpower of my doggies at the park. They've been cooped up for weeks now, only going outside for stints of 5 minutes or less. They seem to forget how cold it is & paw at me to go out just as much as usual. That excited tail wagging stops abruptly once I open the door. There's been a lot of 2 steps forward, 3 steps back into the house this week. Poor pooches!

Also on my exciting list of Friday fun:
- give the dogs a bath
- re-caulk the bathtub
- figure out why my attic is developing condensation
- pack up my summer clothes & put in storage (*sniff*)
- box up any winter clothes that I don't need & drop off at donation center
- drive my friend to the hospital at 6:30 for some scary tests
- call my sister (which has been on my To Do for over a month now. bad!)

Fortunately I'm still on Dominican time, so I'm up early. I should finish by tonight & can sneak off to a guilt-free movie. I've seen the Prestige (loved it), but there are a ton of new movies out now that look worth watching. Any recommendations?

Sand Under My Feet

I'm home from my holiday but I think it will take awhile to adjust to the 3 feet of snow under my feet. I prefer sand, in case you were wondering. My camera, on the other hand, isn't such a big fan of sand. I noticed it was moving verrrry slowly while I was trying to snap pictures of myself on the beach & when looking at the results in the preview screen there were several red dots & lots of "corrupted data" error messages. It was time for a cleaning anyway, so I wasn't too concerned about the camera itself, but the pictures on it were another story. The first thing I did when I got home (well, after being mauled by the dogs...puppy kisses came first!) was upload my beach babe pictures & grinned a huge cheeky smile. They turned out great! I didn't lose too many to errors & they came out surprisingly well considering my remote control wouldn't work & I was balancing the camera on top of my beach bag. I had to lean in & set the self-timer on the back of the camera, then run out to pose for the picture - all with sandy fingers too!





I'll have a picture gallery up of my sandy feet tomorrow for members of my foot fetish site.

Happy Halloween!

Despite the Halloween goblins that have been keeping my internet connection down for the last 2 days, my saucy vintage-inspired Halloween pictures must go up! I started off with sexy stockings, but of course I didn't want to get my outfit messy while carving up a pumpkin. Off with the shoes, stockings & time to play with some slimy pumpkin seeds between my toes. Fun!

Enough Already!

Dear God of Rain,

Thanks for the last few weeks of rain, but you've really done enough. No really. We've had enough. The rain can stop now. I'd really like to use my deck to cut baseboards so I don't blow sawdust everywhere. The dogs would like to go to the dog park too.

Thanks!

Kris & Piggy


PS - If you have any pull when it comes to preventing me from losing a finger (or toe) with the new air nailer (!) & compressor (!) I bought this weekend, I'd really appreciate the help.

House Stuff

My home reno DIY projects have been going swimmingly this week & I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I enlisted the help of Boys with Power Tools and got to quite literally see the light at the end of the crawlspace as I did the army elbow crawl through the cobwebs and insulation dust to run cable & internet wiring through my newly drilled floor holes. My house has only 1 cable jack installed & it happens to be in a spot where I can't put my TV or computer (I have cable internet too). So for the last year I've had a big long cable run along the outside of my living room which has to cut across the middle of the floor at one point & an even longer cable going all the way up the stairs from my cable modem to my computer on the 3rd floor. I hate cables.

It took three times longer than I planned, but I now have cables running behind the walls & lovely wall jacks & no more cables to trip over. I wish I had done this when I first moved in instead of right before I sell the place. But that's the way it goes!

Today I have to hit the paint store (again) because I ran out of paint last night when I was 95% finished. I'm on the second coat & have just one wall to go but I made the mistake of trying to push the paint as far as it would go & doing a "light" second coat. Of course, that translates to an uneven second coat that looks awful. It would've been better off with just one coat of paint & no uneven roller marks. I really hate to spend another $45 on a can of paint to just do one wall. Bah.

All I have left before I can put my house up for sale is:

• sand & paint all the trim (doors, windows, stairs)


• buy, paint & install baseboards


• change light fixtures


• de-clutter, take stuff to storage


• clean!!!

A place on my block just went up for sale less than 2 weeks ago & already sold so things are looking up. The market is crazy right now with prices going up daily. It's the perfect time to sell. I'm hoping I can have my place sold by the end of the month & get moved before the snow flies. Trudging up & down snow covered steps hauling boxes while your nose runs is not fun.

Off to the paint store where the guy will say AGAIN, "Do you have an account with us?"
"No, no. I just need this one can of paint."
Riggghhhhhtttttt.

Tool Time

My mom asked me the other day why it's taking me so long to put my house up for sale. Since I haven't been able to find any contractors to do the reno work for me (actually, I can't even get anyone to return a phone call, let alone show up to work), I've had to resort to fixing everything myself. This is not a pretty sight.

I started with the front hall tiles which didn't match very well with the dark hardwood flooring I had installed when I first moved in:






I'm sure you see where this is going...






It has occurred to me that I'm a clutz. I didn't used to be a clutz, but as I get older I become less & less aware of my physical space. I was lucky to get away with minor cuts & scrapes; I had visions of running the utility knife right down my arm & going to the hospital in my pajamas. But of course it didn't end with just the tiles. No no!





The old pink paint (original owner) didn't go so well with the new tiles. I would have to re-paint. I had a bunch of flat white paint that I had bought to do the ceiling in my old condo a few years ago. I figured basic white would be fine & easy without having to worry about perfect lines around the trim or ceiling. All white, all good. Except that flat paint looks like primer on walls. You need a bit of gloss - eggshell, semi-gloss, something. I realized this only after painting half the room. Back to the store to buy some eggshell & if I'm buying more paint, might as well do the same color as the living room etc.





And that is why it is taking me so long to sell my house. I should stick to computers.

New Toe Sucking Movie

A new delicious toe sucking movie has been added to Barefoot Kristy from my trip to Miami! Red toes & red lips...yummm! If you're not a member yet, sign up today. =)

The Sign of a New Camcorder

Sometimes when I'm trying to make a decision I'll look to the universe for signs. My mom would call it turning the decision "over to God". When I open myself up & begin looking for some kind of sign, I always find one. I don't think of it as God telling me what I should do, rather I'm allowing my subconscious to see what it wants to see; a "sign" will always appear to confirm the choice I truly want.

Remember how I was complaining about getting scammed on eBay for a camcorder? Though I got most of my money back, I was still out the $25 processing fee. I guess the guy had more money in his p ay pal account because I got the $25 refunded over the weekend. Woohoo! This is my sign confirming that I should buy a new camcorder. =)

After some lengthy research, I decided on the brand spanking new Canon HDV camera, the HV10:



The only problem is trying to track one down. Since they're brand new, no Canadian retailers have them in stock yet. I can order one from the US, but with the lousy exchange rate my credit card gives me & the cost of shipping it'll be more expensive than waiting for it to arrive here. The Camera Store guy has my name on the wait list but can't give me any more info other than it will be here within the next 2 weeks. So...order today & pay for the premium of getting it faster? Or be patient & fiscally responsible? I need another sign.

Barefoot Kristy Pictures

I added a few new pictures to Barefoot Kristy today from my last trip. It's a really tiny gallery I snapped one morning while I was sitting on my hotel balcony enjoying my coffee. The trip was pretty hard on my feet (blisters! ouch!) & I knew my red nail polish wouldn't last long on my poor toes.

Come to think of it, my feet haven't fared much better since I've been home. I caught my big toe on the edge of my computer last week & chipped my toe nail. I had to trim my nails really really short to make sure the chip wouldn't snag on anything else & give me a further owie. They look so silly this short! And you can still see the piece missing from my big toe. =(

I'm going to shoot some new foot fetish pictures anyways. I would rather wait until my nail grows back properly, but I'd hate to disappoint my sole & arch fans with having to wait even longer for a big update. Maybe I should do a bandaid set. haha!

Stingrays and Megachips

I'm sure the story has been all over the news today, but if you're enjoying your long weekend sans media, the Croc Hunter guy was killed by a stingray on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I dived the reef years ago & when I snorkelled in Florida last month, I swam alongside a huge stingray without a hint of trepidation. Coming from a girl who's afraid of birds (damn Hitchcock), this stingray thing may bear some investigation. I thought they were pretty tame creatures that would only lash out if they were stepped on or otherwise bothered. Even if you got stung, I thought it was more of an ouchie than anything life threatening, but apparently the barbs can actually puncture your heart (like the Croc guy) or stomach. Crazy! How did I not know this? My library hold list will need some updating after the long weekend.

Speaking of the long weekend, how's yours been? I was anticipating a rather dull weekend dusted with moments of hair-pulling frustration & lots of rum as I set up my new video editing computer system. My old computer kept crashing as I was trying to convert my videos from the camera to a format I can put on the net for download. I initially had planned to just buy some more RAM, but as I checked price lists I started thinking about buying a new motherboard & chip to go with the new supa fast RAM. After reading some video editing boards that basically told me "if you're not running dual core processors, you're an idiot", I bit the plastic & charged it all. Same case, hard drive, monitor etc. so it wasn't *that* much to upgrade. Until I realized (after the computer store was closed) that my power supply won't work with the system. Delay #1.

The next day I bought a new ultra cool power supply & fan. When did freakin' fans start costing more than 100 bucks? I was not impressed by the price tag for ultra cooling action. Whatever. It's working now & I just need to do the hardware configuration update for Windows XP. Did ya know that if that process crashes in the middle of updating your hardware config it will make XP very mad? I do now! Many curse words & a late night trip to Best Buy for a new hard drive later, the system is running. I just need to find a store that carries PCI Express firewire cards & I'll be all set to render some movies. I've called 4 different stores so far & no luck.

Next time I decide to do a "quick upgrade" on my system, please refer me back to this blog entry.

Don't F*ck with D1sn3y

Remember my last post about how lovely my D1sney day was going? Woodland creatures coming out of the...ummm...well not woodwork, but actual woods to greet me as I was walking my dogs? Let's just forget I said anything. Clearly, the iron Eisner fist is still ruling & the message is clear:

if you take naked pictures of yourself & post them on the internet, DO NOT fuck with D1sney!

Lest you think I'm paranoid & am gazing out at my monitor from beneath a tinfoil hat, let me tell you what happened after posting that sunshine-y blog entry. Around midnight I got the dogs leashed up & headed outside for their bedtime walk. I do this every day, usually twice a day. There is a large courtyard behind my house which my neighbors' yards & fences back onto. No traffic, a little footpath & perfect for brief, down to business dog walking.

We head out as usual & after just stepping onto the path both of my pooches take interest in something a few feet off the path near my neighbor's fence. They're not barking, but they darted towards this area with an intensity unlike their usual wander around & sniff routine. I can't quite see what it is but assume it's my neighbor's cat (the friendliest sweetest cat I've met to date) & so I yell at them to "get outta there! C'mon!"

Then I see something much bigger than my neighbor's cat. Squinting in the dark, I notice strange white vertical stripes. Two seconds later I realize it's not big, it just has its tail up because it's a motherfucking skunk & it's spraying me!

I run down the path (cursing) & loop back to the house. The dogs don't seem bothered at all, but I touch Kiero's back & she's got a very light oily coating. fuck fuck fuck.

I don't usually mind that skunk smell when you drive past in your car & catch a whiff. I remember having a Scratch & Sniff sticker of a skunk when I was a kid & quite liked it. But up close? That smell is wayyyyy different. I couldn't smell it on my body or my clothes, but I could taste it. If it got in my mouth, the rest of me must've been reeking!

I ran us all back inside & hopped in the shower. After a thorough shampooing, I hopped out, dried off the dogs & started to get ready for bed. But I couldn't get that horrible taste out of my mouth. I threw all of my clothes plus the towels in the washing machine. I searched on the internet for ways to get rid of skunk smell. I could still catch whiffs of it everywhere & my bedroom was especially bad since that's where I went first & took off my clothes. We had stunk up the whole house! I found some helpful advice (put out a big bowl of vinegar to soak up the smell), but realized that me & the dogs still stunk. I had to resort to the old wives' tale - tomato juice bath.



The dogs were NOT impressed. Two baths in one day? Yuck! But between the tomato juice & the vinegar, the house was much improved the next day. Still no idea where a skunk came from, but I got the point - no more D1sney references from this girl.

Cam Show Hiatus

It's official. I have finally succumbed to the painfully obvious reality that trying to deal with my life as it stands (aka Disaster Central) is not conducive to keeping a regular cam show schedule. My weekly shows are going on temporary hiatus.

I know, I know...the recent cancellations have made this as obvious as Paris Hilton's natural talents. I keep hitting "Skip Show" instead of removing myself from the schedule completely, holding onto the thread of hope that surely (surely!) by *next* week things will have calmed down & I'll have a home base where I can set up my cam computer. Instead, tonight I'm going to be packing & moving stuff out of the way so that the reno guys can replace a window tomorrow morning & hopefully finish my front steps sometime this week. Last week was the back deck & the concrete all around my house in the "common areas" of the complex. It was a toss up, but I decided to go with opening my windows & suffering the probably toxic stench of whatever industrial sealant they were coating the concrete with instead of keeping 'em closed & turning Disaster Central into a summer sauna. It didn't cool things down much, but I did get a strong craving for nachos.

What I'm really craving is getting settled. I still don't know where I'm moving to & I was supposed to have my house already sold by now. I'm still weeks away from having it in any condition to be listed. The Crazy Stressed Out Bitch Alert System is currently set at magenta. This equates to:
> not sleeping
> feeling sick to my stomach every single day
> exacerbating the whole intestinal affair with mocha lattes since
> I can't stay alert long enough to, oh I don't know...prevent myself from driving off the road while hauling boxes up to my storage unit?


I feel like this guy:



Technically I have been taking crazy pills in the form of generic OTC "sleep aid", but they don't help. It still takes me several hours to fall asleep (4 a.m. was the earliest this week) & then I'm groggy for half the morning. Last night I decided to try resetting my clock completely & instead of aiming for sleep, I just stayed up reading until it was daylight & then moved to the couch to finish my book. So far, so good!

I hit the farmers market early this morning, but my perogy guy was already sold out. Blast! Apparently a flock of earlier birds will be enjoying a supper of cottage cheese & dill perogies hand-lovingly formed by an authentic Ukranian baba who holds the exclusive domain of the city's perogy market, yet refuses to increase her supply to cater to the demand of the market-goers who dally & don't line up at first light. This isn't communist Russia, for Petr's sake! Selling out of your best wares in the first 45 minutes each Sunday & then trying to hock your last 2 containers of borscht for the remaining 5 hours of market time is hardly going to help you fit in with the rest of the Johnny CapitalistSeed vendors. Verrückt!

My day improved markedly, however, once I hit the dog park. I felt like all the animals were coming to greet me like something out of a Disney movie. As we trotted along the winding trails through the now lush & overgrown forest, I saw a bunch of critters (a Blue Jay, squirrels etc.) & they all seemed to stop what they were doing & look at me. So I stopped & looked at them. The forest was actively campaigning for me to stop & smell the flowers. It's possible I was hallucinating from lack of sleep, but it was the first moment that I've felt calm in weeks. Of course my peaceful Sunday was shattered by the irritating phone messages waiting when I got back to remind me of the meetings I need to attend this week & the paperwork I need to have ready.

One day my prince will come. And he will be driving a U-Haul.

Nascar Noob

I went to see the new Will Ferrell movie, Talladega Nights: the Ballad of Ricky Bobby last night & laughed my ass off. I really don't get the appeal of Nascar, but the movie was funny & perfect for a summer night of popcorn munching in the dark. I took my nephews to see the Nascar movie at IMAX a few weeks ago. It was interesting, but still...I don't get it. They just drive around in circles, people! How can this sport captivate audiences larger than the population of Canada???

I guess it would be kind of fun to see first person how fast these cars actually go as they whizz past your seat in the stands, but surely that must lose its cache after a few laps. So what to do during the next 495 laps? Drink beer? Flash your boobs? Hope for a crash? I'll take hockey any day.

I should note (before I get a pile of "NASCAR RULZZZZZ!" emails) that I do have huge respect for the drivers. Regardless of the fact that you can't really tell on TV, they are going incredible speeds & also in very close proximity to each other. The pressure of knowing any little error will result in a major crash would be insane. Holding that focus for 500 laps is unfathomable to my ADD brain. Like in every sport, physical skill & natural talent only gets you so far - the mental determination is what's needed to reach the upper echelon of sport greatness. (See: Phil Mickelson)

Now the one question neither the IMAX documentary nor Ricky Bobby answered for me (and the first question I asked my 7 year old nephew upon leaving the theatre) is: how do they go to the bathroom?

Happy to be Home

I'm so glad to be back home & able to sit at my computer with some privacy. I'm used to spending so much time at my desk either working on my site or chatting on forums, reading blogs that I don't realize how much of that kind of "quiet time" I need. Constantly having other people around, even family members that I love, is exhausting! I'm so glad to be back & will be posting lots of new pictures for my members over at Barefoot Kristy.com.

But first, a little about my trip to Miami:

1) The Madonna concert rocked! It was so hot in the arena that I was pouring sweat, but I kept dancing anyway. You know how women get beads of perspiration in their cleavage (which I affectionately dub "boob sweat")? I could feel the drops of sweat rolling all the way down my stomach. I stepped outside after the concert euphoric from finally seeing one of my childhood idols live & the clouds burst dumping warm, wet rain on my sweaty body. It was perfect.



2) I love the ocean. Not such a fan of the sun though. It's been weeks now & my burned bum is still showing signs of trauma. WARNING: Don't forget to put sunscreen on your ass if you're going to snorkel! I did have a great time & got to see a sea turtle & a nurse shark, so a little bum burn was well worth it for the experience.



3) I caught my first fish! That may not be completely true as I do recall going on camping trips with my family when I was a kid, but the only fish I ever remember catching were the ones I scooped up in my net right off the dock. This was my first time catching a fish that was bigger than a minnow plus my first time fishing in the ocean plus my first time baiting my own hook. I was such a squealy girl at the start, but after an hour or so I had no problem grabbing a bloody fish head to bait my hook. I was the only girl on the boat & had lots of willing helpers including three very sweet (and cute!) guys who had come down from Orlando, but I was proud of being able to do everything on my own. The captain was laughing at me a few hours into the trip when he noticed a big smear of fish blood across my forehead, Lord of the Flies style. No girlie girl here! Though the captain did use me as an example when talking about hauling a shark into the boat - he said if anyone caught a shark to leave it dangling off the rod until he came over himself to handle cutting it loose. Just letting it flop around inside the boat was liable to get a girl's red painted toes chomped off! lol



I caught 5 or 6 fish and 3 of those were keepers - a grunt & mangrove snappers. After the captain cleaned my fish for me, I went home with some good sized fillets & got the restaurant in my hotel to cook 'em up for me. Blackened with a little mango chutney...yum!

Reno City

The painters have been here all week & did what looks like it'll be a great job when I finish cleaning all the white dust off of every surface & everything I own. What's the point of draping my furniture to protect it from paint splatter when the messiest part of the job comes from sanding down the walls after a spackle attack?

I've been sneezing like crazy & after the condo board sent me a letter informing me that contractors would be arriving today to start work on replacing my windows, I need to escape. My computer desk is pushed away from the walls (along with everything else I own) in a giant pile which is making internet access slightly difficult. I can't wait until everything is finished (baseboard guy? where are you???) & I can get back to living like a normal person.

In the meantime, I'm going to go visit my grandma for a few days. She didn't come to the big family trip in Banff last month & I know she gets lonely. Some home cooking sounds perfect right about now. You know you've been eating fast food too much when the McDonald's deli sandwiches actually start tasting good! lol

My grandma doesn't have internet access (surprise!) but I'm going to bring my laptop anyways just in case I can find a wifi connection that isn't locked down. Next week I'll be back, the contractors should be gone & we can get back to our regularly raunchy schedule. =)

Out of Town Again

Just as I finish my laundry I'm hitting the road again! I ran out of time for my movie update (or rather, my computer kept crashing while trying to convert the movie), but I'm hoping to get lots of saucy stuff shot while I'm in Miami. It's 3:16 a.m. & I'm still packing despite my best laid plans. I ended up spending the day (packing day!) trying to track down a decent kennel or dog sitter for my pooches after my prior arrangements fell through at the last minute. Not surprisingly in the middle of summer, most kennels and dog sitters are booked up. And for $60/day I might look into becoming a dog sitter myself! The service consists of three 30-minute visits/walks per day which works out to $40/hour...for walking a freakin' dog.

Fortunately I found a doggy daycare place with a wonderful owner that put my worries to rest. I went down to check it out right before they closed tonight & it was leaps & bounds better than the last kennel I used (spoiled house dogs don't do very well laying on hard concrete in the same dog runs where they also do their business).

Printing out some last minute maps & confirmation info, finishing packing & then off to bed. I'm sooooo glad nobody dresses up to fly anymore. If I'm rolling into the airport with my hair brushed tomorrow morning I'll have surpassed my self-imposed expectations.

Now if I could only stop singing that Miami jingle from the Golden Girls...

Bare Feet Outside Pictures

Just added a new photo gallery for Barefoot Kristy members of my pink flip flops & dark purple nails outside in the grass. These are the clean bare feet pictures which came before the muddy river walk that I posted before. I like getting dirty, but I know not everybody is into that. Can't have your feet & eat 'em too! haha

I added some larger samples to my foot fetish Yahoo group too.

Bare Foot Blues

Hey guys! This month has been insanely busy for me, so please accept my apologies for being so quiet. Between a wedding & then visiting with family up in Banff, getting my house ready to sell & dealing with a bunch of work stuff with my lawyer, I'm sooooo ready to pay attention to some more important things - like getting a pedicure! I'm not usually one to neglect my feet, but with everything else going on right now I've barely had time to shower let alone do my nails. =(

Fortunately my next trip (I leave this weekend) will be far more foot & camera friendly than hiking in the mountains. I'm going to Miami! I've never been there & can't wait to go. There will be flip flops & bare feet a plenty! Better believe I'll be bringing my camera. hehe

I ducked into my favorite shoe store this week to try & find some sexy heels to wear if I get a chance to go out to one of the nightclubs Miami is famous for. I tried on 2 killer pairs of stillettos - the sexiest shoes I've ever seen & only $35 each! I was in love! At home, I don't go anywhere that would warrant such sexy stems, but in Miami? Yeah, baby! Unfortunately, I wasn't joking about the "killer" part of these heels. My feet were screaming after just standing in either pair for a couple of minutes. Walking? Fuggedaboutit. I could have cried when I returned them to their boxes & left the store empty handed. I almost DID cry later when I realized that just putting those shoes on for a minute had already formed little cuts on my feet! Both pairs had a thin strap across the toes that apparently was made out of barbed wire. lol

The search continues! Maybe I should sneak my camera in with me next time. *heehee*

Banff Pictures

Holy moley! I came home to over 400 emails & voicemail full to capacity. I knew things were piling up at home, but I didn't realize everything was being flipped upside down! When I left for Banff my ex-girlfriend & oldest friend in Edmonton was getting married at the end of August & we were planning her bachorlette party. I get home & not only is the wedding off, but she's moving out. A contractor came by today to give me an estimate on all the work I need done before I can put my house up for sale. I called so many different places before I finally found someone who could:
a) call me back
b) start the work before September

Now I'm back on the painting/cleaning/selling/storage-ing mission. I'm going to paint the stuff I can reach like doors & trim before the professionals come in. That way if I have any spills or drips, they'll be doing the final stuff. Now I just need a baseboard guy, new light fixtures, new door knobs, finish sewing the curtains, fix the bathroom floor tile...whew! I'm tired already. lol On to the Banff pictures:



My favorite day of the holiday was the afternoon I took off by myself with nothing but a cooler & the doggies. We explored a few different lakes in the Banff area, chatted up a cute kayaker & lounged around on a picnic blanket drinking cider & soaking up the scenery.






I know dogs are always supposed to be on leashes in national parks, especially in bear country, but the pug was having so much fun digging up rocks along the shore that I wanted to see if he would actually swim if I went in with him. We waited out most of the other tourists & then I brought the dogs into the freezing cold lake with me. Kiero was a pretty good swimmer (though she seemed totally unimpressed that I made her get even her feet wet), but the pug was a bit top heavy & too short of snout to be much of a swimmer. Back to the beach for him while mom floated for a bit, happy to escape the heat & mosquitos. Best Day Ever.

On My Way Home

My holiday is coming to an end & I'm a little sad to report that I'll be home late tonight. Banff is absolutely beautiful. I would love to stay for another week & keep hiking, swimming in the (cold!) lakes & harvesting freckles. My shoulders are covered with freckles! Much more becoming than the red mosquito bites on my legs.

As far as family vacations go, this has been the best one yet. No fights at all even with all the stress of a big wedding, lots of very different people with very different agendas to accommodate & a screaming 2 year old (my nephew). I ended up staying a few days longer than I had planned & shared a condo with my sister's family. I don't get to see her very often & when I do, it's usually with the entire family around which makes any real conversations rather limited - just too much noise & general activity when everyone gets together.

My thought process went like this: I know I really can't afford to take a holiday right now & it's the worst possible time with the amount of things I should've gotten done weeks ago, BUT I'm already here & I have no idea when I'll be back to Banff or get to see my sister again. I'll still be broke & way behind 3 days from now, but at least I'll have had 3 days of really exploring the mountains & spending time with my family. It has been wonderful! We drove up to Lake Louise & did the glacier hike. I took Piggy & Kiero out to the Lake Minnewankwa area & actually swam in the glacier fed lake. We even did a geocache hike into Sundance Canyon. So much fun! The first few days of the vacation were all family stuff so we ended up doing things like hanging around the condo & visiting, shopping & eating at really boring places (like Boston Pizza, twice) because that was what was easiest when you're dealing with so many people plus little kids. But my idea of a holiday is not shopping at stores I have back home or eating at chain restaurants that I have back home. *yawn* Being in a place with such incredible natural beauty & having the only physical activity be shopping or sitting in a hot tub? Lame. My sister & her family have a 14 hour drive & then are back to work on Monday morning, but she felt the same way as I did & so we agreed to stay a couple of extra days. It was well worth it.

I didn't take too many pictures, but I did get some cute ones when I snuck off to the lake with the dogs while everybody else was golfing. I like to golf, but for $189, I'd rather do twilight & the driving range a bunch of times at some of the local courses back home versus a single round up here. I'll be back soon & will post photos!

Late, Overwhelmed, Exhausted & I Haven't Even Left Yet!

I'm leaving for Calgary in a few minutes & will be gone for 5 or 6 days to attend a wedding & then meet up with my parents, sisters, nephews...the whole family! As much as I would love to see everyone, this is the absolute worst time for me to be leaving for holiday. I collapsed in a pile of tears late last night feeling totally overwhelmed with all of the things I need to do & WANT to be doing right now instead of getting my car fixed & packing & taking the dogs to the vet. I have so many updates for the site & just want to work on my site stuff - respond to my email, hang out in chat & just generally get caught up.

Thank you for being patient with me & please know there are a bunch of comments & emails I really want to reply to, but just haven't had the time yet. Once I get back, things will calm down & I get back to focusing on what *I* want to be doing. Anybody got a valium? I haven't even had time to stress about the family arguments that are sure to ensue! Though maybe that's a good thing...

I'll try to update from Calgary. I think my hotel has internet so I'm going to bring my laptop & webcam, just in case I can sneak away & chat while I'm gone. Wish me luck!

Super Feet!

I went to see Superman at the midnight showing last night & it was awesome! Perfect in every way with a wonderful blend of homage to the original & lots of whiz bang fun stuff to appeal to the new fans.

Is it any wonder that fetishes for things like bare feet or latex develop? There was a delicious scene where Lois Lane slips off her high heels & steps gingerly on Superman's feet so that they can fly together. The close up shot of her yummy bare toes stepping softly on his big boots (the way little girls dance with their fathers) was so romantic & sexy & just the thing that fantasies are made of. I couldn't see clearly what shade Kate Bosworth's toes were painted, but it was a very dark color - purple or black or very deep red. When they're coming back down, Kate has her feet pointed & the arches are to die for. Gorgeous!

Hugs All Around

After last night I feel like such a fool for complaining about my stressful week of home renos, lawyers & moving stuff. My best friend's mom passed away.

The Big V is one of those guys who is always there to talk or to help a friend out, but rarely talks about his own problems. He's the guy that my friends & I think of as a big brother - the guy you go to if you need a 5:00 a.m. ride to the airport & could trust with your bank stuff while you're away. Because he's the guy who takes care of everybody else & never asks for help, I had no idea his mom was so sick.

She was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago & he decided last week that he would move back home to help out his dad & just be around more. His parents are awesome - the type of family that welcomes everyone & makes you feel right at home. They were high school sweethearts & unlike a lot of older couples I know, really good friends too. The hardest part of all of this is that a few months ago the Big V wrote his mom a letter telling her how proud he was of her fight with cancer & thanking her for all the little (& big) ways she's been an awesome mom & helped shape his life. He kept waiting for the perfect time to give it to her, but her mental capacity declined so rapidly that he never got the chance.

I phoned my mom this morning (which scared the shit out of her since I *never* call this early) to tell her how much I love her & appreciate everything she did for me as a kid & still does today. We were both crying by the end of it, but in a good way. She was feeling sort of down this morning, still laying in bed & reading her bible before I phoned. A phone call from her daughter just to say "I love you" was just the thing she needed.

I have a wedding to attend in Calgary on July 1st & my entire family is coming up for it - both sisters, my nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, everybody! It's the kind of thing I would've been dreading as a teenager since none of my friends would be there, but now I'm really looking forward to it. I'm so bad for picking up the phone & making an effort to keep in touch with family, especially my sisters. I do talk to my parents a lot, but even that is sort of selfish. They love me unconditionally & are always on my side, so even if I have to roll my eyes through a bit of church talk, it's still like phoning my own personal cheering section.

I'm rambling now & haven't had my coffee yet, but just wanted to let you know what happened to me last night. And remind you to give someone you love a squeeze today. *hug*

The Other (almost) Shoot!

I've been meaning to update ya'll on my crazy gun story, but this week has just been nuts with no end in sight. I'm getting ready to move so that means digging through all of my stuff to figure out what would come with me, what needs to go into storage, what I can sell (& where to sell it) & what needs to be donated (& where to donate). Did you know those storage places are booked solid? I need a heated unit for the antique piano that I've had in my family for generations & have called just about everywhere in the city with nothing available. I'm on a bunch of waiting lists though so hopefully one will open up soon. The piano isn't worth anything moneywise, but since my parents paid to have it shipped out here, I can't just sell it. I grew up playing it & so did my grandmother. Old, clunky, impossible to tune & with chipped keys, I still want to hang onto it. Storage it goes!

I have a weird hang up when it comes to donating my stuff too. I'm a bit of a packrat, especially when it comes to books & anything I could ever possibly use to shoot with. Shoes, dresses, lingerie, blankets, funky background material...if it could somehow at some point be used in a photo shoot, I can't get rid of it. This means I have a lot of stuff that I *have* to get over & get rid of. But where to donate? I don't want to dump it all at Goodwill, so I'm making this process even more complicated by making separate piles of:

• "good" stuff (clothes that are still cool enough to be fashionable etc.) that will go to the youth emergency shelter

• "bad" stuff that goes to Goodwill

• newer stuff that I could possibly sell if I had a big moving/garage sale

• light + valuable stuff that I could sell on eBay without insane shipping prices

On top of this, I'm painting, cleaning, re-grouting my bathtub, trying to find someone to install baseboards AND doing my tax stuff which has been piled into the oh so helpful categories of "2005" or "2006", with a bit of crossover to boot. Have I mentioned how much I would love to hire a bookkeeper? Maybe a cute blonde with a pencil skirt & tight sweater who would let her glasses slide down her nose as she added everything up & organized my life for me...mmmmmm.



Anyways, on to the story! The night of the Stanley Cup finals I had a date to drown my sorrows in some late night drive-thru grub. We hit McDonalds & parked at a school so my dogs could run around. It was a really nice night despite losing the Cup & we walked over to the school bleachers to snack on fries & enjoy the cool breeze. Just as it started feeling a little too cold, I noticed a cop car with lights blazing across the field. Since there were bound to be tons of drunken hockey fans out & about, I knew cops would be in full force & figured we'd better head back to the car just in case the cops did see us & ended up giving me a ticket for having the dogs running around without their leashes or something stupid. Back to the car!

I was just getting my seatbelt on when the cop car drove slowly past the entrance to the parking lot. I started the engine & was starting to drive out when the cop switched on his lights & reversed hard, pulling into the parking lot at full speed. I stopped & put the car in park just as two cops jumped out of their car & started screaming at us to, "Put your hands up! Put your fucking hands up!!!"

I was startled, but laughing because it was so obvious that we were not the people they were looking for. The cops started doing that slow crouching walk thing towards my car with these huge rifles pointed at us. That made me stop laughing, but having never ever been even pulled over for a speeding ticket, I'm new to dealing with cops. I took my hands down for a second just to turn off the engine (which apparently was not smart). My date had his hands out the window & was speaking loudly to the cops, letting them know that we had two small dogs in the backseat. He was worried the dogs would jump up or bark or something - enough for a trigger happy cop with a rifle pointed at our heads to see a perceived threat & shoot. Kiero jumped into my lap & the cop got close enough to see that we didn't have anyone but a pug hiding in the back & they took off, after apologizing for scaring the shit out of us, of course.

Apparently there had been shots fired in the area & the vehicle make was very similar to mine. I haven't seen anything in the paper about it, so I'm still not sure what happened, but it was very bizarre considering this is a quiet residential neighborhood. And pretty exciting for my first police experience!

I feel so suburban whitebred even relaying this story as the only interaction I've ever had with a police officer. Even worse, I was totally thinking about blogging about it on the drive home. Yes, I am that lame. Feel free to rofl, lol or lmao at my expense. *grin*

Happy Father's Day!

Hope all the dads out there are having a wonderful day. I always think of the Chris Rock bit when Father's Day rolls around - "What does Daddy get? The big piece of chicken." lol

I think we take dads for granted. They get a new tie, maybe some golfballs...rarely anything particularly thoughtful when compared to the haul that moms get on Mother's Day. For most of us, the reason mom was able to be there to kiss our booboos & sew our school play costumes was because dad was out working long hours, making sure he could provide a good life for us. Now it seems like that's the bare minimum. Dads are expected to pay bills (which are grossly inflated) while working less hours so that they never *ever* miss a soccer game or family dinner. What happened to kids being excited about getting a new bike for Christmas? Can you imagine a 12 year old today opening the usual socks, pajamas & then the one big gift & revealing a bicycle? He expects a brand new bike every summer for no reason at all! Christmas is for Xbox 360s, digital cameras, TVs & DVD players for the kid's room. Notice I said AND not OR.

Despite the fact that most childless couples need two incomes to sustain a middle class lifestyle, more & more women want to stay home with their children & the father is expected to be able to provide for the same lifestyle plus a baby on an income that has just been sliced in half. He should also be doing his share of midnight feedings, diaper changes & household chores if he's a "good" father. He shouldn't dare ask for sex until at least 6 months after the baby is born. When he comes home from work, he should take over the childcare to give mom a break. And what does dad get as a thank you? A mug with a fish on it.

Before I get a slew of "well my dad was an asshole & my mom was a saint" comments, let me say I know. I know moms work hard & deserve to be appreciated. They *are*. According to the National Retail Federation, the average person plans to spend $88.80 on dads, compared with $122.16 for moms. Some retailers, however, see this as a great opportunity to make more money & launched the biggest Father's Day advertising campaigns to date starting three weeks earlier than last year hoping to drive more sales. Do we really need a shove from capitalism to get us to say thanks to our dads?

If you dropped the ball this Father's Day or recoil at the idea of commemorating a Hallmark holiday, you can still put in a little honest effort without feeling cheesy. See if your dad wants to go out to watch Game 7 (woooohooooo!) or whatever sport he likes to watch. My dad is not a sports bar kind of guy & would never meet up with buddies to watch a game, but he'll go if I invite him & he ends up having a great time. When's the last time your dad went to see a movie? They just don't do this stuff if you don't make 'em!

So if you haven't already, get off your butt & give your dad a call.

And then come watch my camshow at 11:00 PM EST. =)

New Pictures

New photos are up for my lovely members & a saucy video should be ready by the time I wake up (yes, it is 3:30 a.m. & yes, I'm still up!). Happy Friday!

Sexy Movies in the Can (no, not that can!)

Members Update: I've shot a bunch of very sexy new movies over the last few weeks, but they are *still* not ready to be downloaded. I'm so sorry this has been taking so long. I think you are going to love these movies & I can't wait to share them with you! The problem is I think I've been scammed.

Isn't it 2006? How is it possible that someone who makes her living doing internet work can get scammed like an eBay n00b? After the firewire port on my videocamera died I've been looking for a cheap replacement camera. I don't need to use it to shoot videos with - just to transfer the video from the tape to my computer. I bought one off of eBay over a month ago & it still hasn't arrived. The seller isn't answering my emails & though I did manage to get him on the phone, I'm starting to think he was just being polite & helpful so that I wouldn't file a report right away. You have 45 days to file a claim & after that, you're pretty much screwed.

I made the mistake of looking at a convincing auction page & 3 other similar videocameras the seller had listed & believing that he ran a brick & mortar store that was legitimately "overstocked". He'd only been registered for a couple of months & had 5 positive feedbacks. I figured he was a legit seller, just new to eBay. My dumb mistake was not checking to see what the feedback was FOR before bidding. Since he had 4 cameras listed at the time, I assumed the feedback was for other cameras he'd sold. Nope! All 5 were for things he'd bought, not sold. And 4 out 5 were for items that cost less than $1.00. Did you know people sell Gmail invites on eBay???

I'm not holding my breath that this camera will show up, but wanted to get you up to speed in case you'd been wondering why I hadn't added any new movies lately. Looks like it'll be back to my crappy camera & editing out the artifacts (big blue & green pixel-y splotches) frame by frame by frame until I'm ready to roll the auction dice again. Should you feel lucky, remember the cardinal rules of on-line auction buying:

1. Check the seller's reputation in detail

2. Confirm the shipping rate before bidding (especially if they just say "will ship to Canada" but don't specify an amount)

3. Pay using pay pal funded by a credit card (this is crucial - if you just transfer money from your bank account or pay pal account balance & need to file a dispute, you will only get your money back IF the scammer's account has money in it. When you use a credit card, you can go to pay pal first & if they can't get your money, talk to your credit card company.)

Cam Show Tonight

Hey guys! Just a quick reminder before I run the dogs to the park & then hit the gym - I have a cam show tonight at 11:00 PM EST. Hope you can drop in to chat with me!

Server is Fixed!

If you tried to access my site last night, you probably noticed it was either totally missing or loading very slowly. That would be courtesy of some lovely hacker (cracker) that was hammering my server. I couldn't get in to the admin to see if it was a specific username or IP & the tech guy (thanks Matt!) at my host couldn't get in either because as soon as they would reboot the server, the whole thing would lock up again. Very frustrating. The feeling of being totally useless, just waiting to hear back from the tech guy & madly refreshing my support ticket hoping for an update was not how I had hoped to spend my Friday night/Saturday morning. I finally fell asleep at my desk around 5:00 a.m. When I woke up (so rested!), my tech guy had been able to get the server stable enough to see which account was causing all the trouble & it has now been turfed, so things look back to normal now. At $150 per hour for futher support, I hope things are back to normal!

Driving Barefoot Video

I just uploaded a new video of me driving barefoot. When it gets really hot outside, sometimes I like to kick off my shoes, even my comfy flip flops & go totally bare. This video starts with a candid shot of me hopping out of my car to return some library books (bare feet, of course) & then driving home with a bit of pedal pumping too. My feet do end up getting quite dirty when I run around all day like this, but that just gives me an excuse to pamper my peds, give 'em a good scrub when I get home & then slather them with lotion to get them nice & soft again.

Sign up for Barefoot Kristy - my personal foot fetish site to download my new video!

Bare Feet Pictures

I will have new pictures up for my bare feet fans tonight, but wanted to share this one first. There aren't really enough foot fetish ones to make an entire set, but I just love the way my little toes are peeking out & I think my wrinkly soles look incredibly sexy. Hmmmm...maybe I'll put up the full size ones anyways...

Live Webcam Chat Sunday Night

Update for members of Barefoot Kristy: live webcam chats are now scheduled for Sunday nights at 11:00 PM EST. Hope to see you there!

0wn3d by Geocaching

My geocaching skills have sadly not been up to par lately as the last two caches I attempted resulted in me driving home cranky, mosquito bitten, allergy laden & defeated. If you haven't heard of geocaching, don't let today's sour attitude deter you - it's awesome. There are "caches", usually small tupperware containers though sometimes much smaller (film canisters) or larger (army lockboxes), hidden all over the world at specific longitudes & langitudes. They're all listed at www.geocaching.com & using a GPS, some old-fashioned digging around & the clues they list for you, cachers basically go on treasure hunts using coordinates instead of a map. Each cache will contain a few different trinkets (pins, badges, little toys), sometimes set to a theme like hockey stuff or kids stuff. When you locate the cache, you sign the log book, take an item & leave an item. Then you return home & log your find on the website so the cache owner & anyone else searching for it knows that it is still active & hasn't been muggled by non-cachers who just happened to stumble upon it. Or in my case, you return home to post that you couldn't find it & leave a big pouty face. =P

The last one I was searching for had a toe ring theme, which is far cooler & more useful than the usual Canada pins & Pez dispensers (though I do love my Pez dispensers). Since the clues were all on the lines of "keep on your toes", I assumed it was referring to the theme of the cache. I rooted around in the leaves & poplar fluff for close to 30 minutes trying to discover the cache hidden underneath any one of dozens of fallen logs. As you can imagine, mosquitoes were out in full force & all that poplar fluff had my nose running like Ben Johnson after his shots. I kept thinking, "You're overthinking this. It's supposed to be an easy one...right under your toes." I finally gave up & came home, drowned my sorrows in ice cream & forgot about it until this morning when an email alert popped into my mailbox to let me know that someone else had found my cache. Ha ha! You couldn't find it, but this guy found it noooo problem. And he didn't even want a toe ring! Na na nana naaaa na!

After telling my computer to Shut Up!, I re-read the clue & realized I had overlooked a crucial word - on your toes, not under. It must be up high! I was so busy looking around under logs (a favorite cache hiding spot) it never even occurred to me to look up, look wayyyy up! I'm dousing myself with DEET & going back today & I will not return until I'm victorious!

Isn't that more fun than just going for a walk? You never get to come home victorious from a plain old walk!

I'm a Dork

And no, not just because I watched Revenge of the Nerds (did you know they're making a new one?) last night after the hockey game instead of getting drunk & flashing my boobs on Whyte Ave.

I'm a dork because I was just getting ready for my cam show & I realized that I left my videocamera in Calgary! I didn't even use it either. I brought it down "just in case" & took it out of my purse at my aunt & uncle's because it was heavy/taking up too much space/raining. We were on our way to Peter's Drive In for greasy burgers, fries drowned in vineagar & (my favorite!) chocolate banana milkshakes. I knew I wouldn't want to film anything there, so I took it out of my purse & I can see just where I left it - conveniently 3 hours away. *sigh*

So, no cam show tonight. I'm sorry for the last minute notice. I was looking forward to celebrating the Oilers win with everybody. =( The good news is I already spoke to my aunt & she's having their courier company send my camera to me, so I should have it back Monday or Tuesday. Plus there are 3 other girls doing shows at 11:00 PM, so at least my members will be entertained by other cam girls, though I'm secretly annoyed that my empty time slot has been discovered. I'm always home Sunday nights & shouldn't run into scheduling conflicts again. Hmmmm...maybe I can heckle the other girls in their shows & convince them that Sunday nights suck. hehe

Sexy Feet Run in the Family

I'm still down in Calgary visiting family, but I'm heading home today. I've had a great visit with my parents & some other extended family I haven't seen in years. Even though none of them know that I'm a foot fetish model (or any kind of model, for that matter), I think my penchant for feet is rubbing off on them! My mom was wearing the cutest pair of strappy sandals & she had her toes painted bright red with pretty little flower designs on her big toes. My pale pink toes & flip flops looked so plain & boring compared to my mom's sexy feet! I'll have to keep working on her & see if I can convince her to take some photos one of these days. =)

New Video for Members

Argh! It's 4:30 a.m. & I haven't even been to sleep yet. I have to hit the road in a few hours to drive to Calgary. I won't be replying to emails for a couple of days, but there is a sexy new video up for members so you don't have to miss me too much while I'm gone. =)

Bare Feet in my Cam Show

I must've been having a blonde moment when I added my webcam show to the 11:00 PM EST time slot (9:00 PM my time) because the Oilers game had barely started the 3rd period, let alone overtime. I thought it started at 6 pm instead of 7 pm. Doh! Fortunately we kicked butt again & my chatters kept me updated with the last goal bring the Oilers to a 3 -1 win & now heading home 2 games up in the series. We could actually win the series in 4 games! The Ducks haven't won in Edmonton since 1999. Crazy!

I'm not heading out to celebrate tonight though, like the rest of the fans must be since Monday is a holiday. I have to get up early to drive to Calgary & am not even close to being finished the work I need to do before I leave plus pack, put together a birthday present for my mom, get the car washed, buy dog food, give the dogs a bath since my Mexican Jack Russell decided to inspect what Piggy was doing while he was PEEING & got pee all over her head. Only me would end up with a kinky golden shower dog! lol

I think I'm going to stick with the Sunday night 11:00 PM time slot & see how it works for everybody. I had fun tonight & had some great foot fetish fans to play with. Lots of leg crossing & sole requests tonight. Then I pulled out my naughty box - the box of toe rings & anklets that came this week after a bad girl spent way too much shopping on Ebay! I haven't taken any of my new toe rings or anklets out of their packages yet. I'm still savoring them & enjoying the newness of each one. But after showing them to the chatters in my webcam show, of course I had a request to put one on. I chose a silver dangly ankle bracelet with pretty blue stones. I think it looked great, though I would need to move my cam down lower to get the full effect.

Speaking of full effect, I bought a terrible new polish this week. It's a pretty pale pink but it reeks like industrial varnish when I paint my toes & it took me 5 coats to get my nails even close to covered evenly. All that work only for me to realize that pale pink does NOT show up on camera at all! I'm sure it will be fine with my digital camera, but not for webcam shows. Oh well! Time to chuck the stinky stuff in the trash & chalk it up to a lesson learned. =)

Live Webcam Chat Tonight

Hopefully the Oilers game won't go into overtime because I'm testing out a new webcam chat time - Sunday nights at 11:00 PM EST. See you there!

Schedule Changes

I had to cancel my weekly webcam chat today at the last minute due to some unexpected visitors dropping by without so much as a phone call ahead of time. Has the word gotten out that I'm always naked at home? WTF? =) To be honest, it was a blessing in disguise as my office is scorching hot. I have a fan going constantly but it is still only bearable early in the morning & late in the evening. My 7:00 pm (MST) cam slot is the absolute worst time to be up there even without the lights I turn on for my cam shows. So I need to move to a different time slot for the summer & it will likely be a late night one. But for now, I just want to make up for the show I missed tonight! I'm going to Calgary to visit my parents either Sat/Sunday or Mon/Tuesday - still waiting to find out which days will work best for them (my dad has a conference). Whichever days I'm *not* in Cowtown, I'll be free for chatting. I'll let you know as soon as I do! In the meantime, I'm going to pull out my sewing machine & see if I can work on some thick curtains to block out the sunlight in here. My pretty white sheers are pretty useless.

New Membership Options for Barefoot Kristy

Great news! Barefoot Kristy has been approved by CCBill & now members can join my site directly. Don't worry! I will continue to update my Pro Adult site. I think Pro Adult is an awesome value with thousands of sites & tons of photos, videos...everything you could ask for. They have content in every niche you can think of & hundreds of real amateur girls who shoot all of their own sexy photos & do all the work themselves. I love it!

But...if you're only interested in foot fetish, you probably don't need access to all of those other sites. Some of the amateur girls will put up the odd photo set that features their feet (& boy are there some pretty feet!), but there aren't nearly as many sites devoted to foot fetish as there are to general sex stuff. So, CCBill it is!

Dirty Feet

I hope I have some dirty feet lovers out there! The video I shot this weekend walking along the river valley turned out great! I'm still not finished converting it for the internet, but I watched it on my TV last night & my muddy bare feet look great at the water's edge with really dark toes that pop right off the screen. I'm usually a fan of bright colors like pinks & purples, but after a request from one of my foot fetish boys, I tried out a deep dark purplish black color. Hot hot hot! Definitely more work since any chip or wear will really show on this shade, but I love the way it contrasts against my skin. Makes those toes look so suckable.

Anybody want to kiss my dirty feet? *heehee* No takers, huh? How about if we give them a nice warm soapy bath first? Deal!

Bare Feet Outside

I spent Mother's Day with my fur babies & we couldn't have had a nicer day. We had a doggy playdate at the big dog park that runs along the river valley. Perfect day for being outside in bare feet! I started off in my new pink flip flops & I'm glad I got some photos of them before they were totally destroyed all in the name of my foot fetish fans. I was talking on Wu's the other day about how foot models love to keep their shoes new & pretty & unscuffed for photos. A lot of foot fetish boys would prefer to see our "real" shoes that show some wear & tear. I can understand that, but it doesn't mean I *want* to see my favorite pairs of shoes get trashed! I have boxes of high heels still in their plastic because I love them too much to ruin them by wearing them outside of the house unless it's for a really special occasion. Chalk it up to another silly thing that women do!

But today I succumbed to the beautiful weather & I think my foot boys will be very happy with my new photos. As we walked along the river bed I was dying to get my feet wet & feel the water & sand against my bare feet. It's been a long winter! Unfortunately, I'm still in Canada & walking along the water's edge with bare feet in Canada in May is not the same as California beach feet. My poor toes got stuck in the dirty mud & as I was rinsing them off & trying to put my new flip flops back on, I sunk even deeper into the sand/mud/riverbed & just about lost a flip flop completely! It was hilarious. Here's me trying to enjoy an *almost* summer barefoot walk with my pretty pink flip flops & I end up covered in mud. Well, if I do another shoot with those flip flops no one will complain that they look too new! LOL

New Barefoot Crush Movies

I added 2 new barefoot crush movies to Barefoot Kristy today & these photos are screenshots from the movies. They're shorter clips than the ones in my Clips 4 Sale store, but still lots of messy squishing action as I crush a kiwi & then an orange with my bare feet. So cold between my toes! I'm wearing bright orange nail polish in these movies (one of my fave colors), but I think next time I'll have to remember to take the fruit out of the fridge at least an hour before I crush 'em! Too cold for my sensitive feet. lol

Foot Fetish "Freaks"

I was watching the hockey game this weekend with a some friends & after a few beers, I ended up getting into a rather heated debate with a very conservative guy about fetishes & the internet. When I say conservative, I mean hardcore, saving himself until marriage conservative. He knows that I do *something* on the internet & that it has to do with adult sites, but he thinks it's just the marketing & promotion part of it, not actually creating my own photos & movies. Needless to say, our opinions on things like foot fetish sites were very different!

For me, being able to surf the net & connect with people from all over the world is an incredible gift. My entire life I've felt disconnected, like I didn't fit in. I can count on 1 hand the number of people in my life who truly GET me. Is that because I'm crazy/alternative/totally different than everybody else? I used to think so & you know what? That was a bunch of baloney. The simple fact is this - connecting with people I relate to has been restricted by my geography. The pool of people I have to find a match with (platonic or otherwise) has been very small, restricted to my neighbors, co-workers & classmates. That's a pretty tiny pool!

Connect to the internet, on the other hand, and the whole world opens up. Suddenly not only is the pool enormous, but the filtration system is top notch. I can find people immediately who share my interests, my passions, even my sense of humour by reading their blogs (or my blog & laughing at my jokes...*wink wink nudge nudge*). My world has opened up & some of the people I feel closest to are folks I've never actually met in "real" life. I can see people face to face every single day & not know half as much about them as someone who writes a blog openly & honestly. It's truly incredible & I feel so lucky to be living in this time.

Mr. Conservative had a polar opposite viewpoint that threw me for a loop. I know that my shock threshold is a lot higher than most people since I do work in the adult industry. I've built websites & done the fun job of submitting sites to link directories & search engines for a couple of years now & some of the sites I've marketed were pretty nasty. Even so, I had no idea there were still people in the world who consider something as common as a foot fetish to be "freakish". I was really angry at first, but now I'm just sad that anyone could be so closed minded. =(

The gist of the argument was that because the internet enables people to come together who normally would never meet, that is a BAD thing. Guys growing up with a foot fetish would've just kept that a secret & never spoke about it. Maybe they would get married & share their dirty fetish with their wife & if he was lucky, she'd be into it too. If that's the case, Mr. Conservative said, "Have at 'er! Knock yourselves out! Just keep it behind closed doors."

But surfing the internet & discovering that thousands of other people all over the world share your fetish for feet? Well that's just wrong, according to Mr. Conservative. "That means that the freaks will start to think they're normal & it's OK. Without the internet, they'd think they were the only one & would keep it quiet & never indulge in it."

For the record, he wasn't strictly a foot fetish hater...furries, balloon guys, all sorts of fetishes were mentioned but obviously the foot one hit home the most for me.

Anyways, I wanted to vent this here because the whole conversation just left me feeling frustrated. If the activity is between two consenting adults & isn't hurting anyone else, who cares? Why are people still so intolerant of any little thing that could bring someone else pleasure? I just don't get it. He couldn't explain why it was OK to be a boob man or an ass man but not a foot man, he just knew it was "wrong". Go figure he's not married! lol

I think life is far too short to come up with more reasons to deny yourself simple pleasures. As a woman, I'm thrilled to know that men come in all flavors & that there are some who will worship my body from head to toe. Just focusing on any single part of me (even my feet!) is missing out on so much. And that's exactly why I love my foot boys. If you'll take the time to pamper my feet, I know you'll be willing to spoil me in every possible way. I'll take a freak like that any day!

Private Chat

After a busy, but sadly unproductive weekend that involved getting wrangled into babysitting instead of enjoying the sunshine, I'm going to have my webcam on tonight so if anyone would like a private chat, look for me on iFriends or Private Camz. Still battling the phone company (how long is 24 hours in their world???), so no land line phone but I did sign up for Yahoo voice so we can try that if you're feeling experimental. hehe

Sexy Feet in Pink

New foot fetish pics up for members of Barefoot Kristy!

This is a really simple photo set taken in my bedroom - very amateur & just having a good time getting naked for the camera & of course, showing off my sexy feet. Hot pink polish & my daisy toe ring were my co-stars. I have this huge canopy bed that I absolutely adore - brushed metal & very NY loft-looking to me. However, it turns out my bed is NOT a good location for a shoot. The big steel bar that serves as a headboard cuts through many of the shots & my camera kept focusing on IT instead of me. =( I edited out the really blurry ones, but kept a few that maybe aren't quite in focus, but were my favorites anyway. Fortunately the macro shots of my sexy feet & toes turned out great!

Hopefully the weather will be nice enough this weekend to get outside & do some public & dirty feet pics. I wanted to shoot last weekend, but it ended up being too cold to have my bare feet out & about. It actually snowed! It all melted as soon as the flakes hit the ground, but that should give you some idea of how cold it was. Hope you have a great weekend!

Day Full of Dohs!

Get ready for some ranting! First, my phone has been unusable since Monday. I pick it up & there is no dial tone, just steady fast beeping (& not the "you have voice mail" beeping). I've been walking down to the payphone down the street every day & the phone company keeps telling me that they're working on it. I'm going nuts! There are a bunch of important calls I need to make that will involve lots of hold time, so not the kind of thing I can do from a payphone. I dropped by my old apartment the other day to pick up some mail & discovered I'd been summoned for jury duty, but missed the date by 6 weeks. Whoops! Since there are pretty heavy fines for dodging jury duty, I'd really like to phone down & explain that I'd moved...yadda yadda. On the way to pick up my mail, a lovely cop pulled me over to let me know that my tags were expired. "Ummmm, no they're not," was my clever retort. Again, wrong address, didn't get my renewal stuff. He didn't give me a ticket, but it was an extra $100 expense I wasn't expecting this month.

The topper? I got locked out of my house today. Remembered *just* as I was going down the steps that I didn't have my keys. Doh! I had to call my ex-boyfriend's father, who fortunately still has keys to my place after he helped me do some reno stuff when I first moved in. I remember telling him to keep the keys "just in case" & it turns out that was the only smart thing I've done lately! Here's hoping tomorrow will be better. =)

Oilers Win!

Oilers beat the Red Wings tonight & Edmonton went freakin' nuts! I reserved a table at a pub where my girlfriend works & had a great time watching the game, hoping but not honestly expecting them to win. Everyone went crazy cheering when we won & even though it's freezing outside (supposed to snow tonight!), thousands of Oilers fans hit Whyte Ave, the university area strip of bars, restaurants & funky little shops to party. Just walking up & down the Ave, everyone was cheering & slapping hands. Awesome! So cool to see such a huge crowd of people all getting along & not causing trouble. I've never given so many high 5s in my life! I was bundled up, so no cool shots of me in my fan gear but I did have a couple of news cameras following me for a bit so I'm going to tune into the evening news & see if my footage made the cut. =)

Here are some crappy cell phone pics of the craziness:









If Calgary wins tonight it will be Edmonton vs. Calgary for the next round. That would be insane! I partied on the Red Mile in Calgary 2 years ago & had a great time, but throw the Alberta rivalry into the mix? People would call in sick for the entire week & just stay drunk. lol
