The fun of golfing

Hello everyone,

yesterday way definately NOT my day. Most of the week fought with a bad cold and I thought me and my friend Wick Day Med had it under controll (not to mention the obscure lebanese medication a work mate gifted me a while ago), however hell broke loose. On my way to this weekends shooting it seemed like everyone decided to take a train. No seats. So I had to stand all the way. Under normal circumstances it wouldn´t have been a problem. However in my conditions it had bad effects.

We made it through almost the whole shooting, but when we got to do the last set I collapsed. I had already done the make up and hair for this set, but I was shaking and weak so we couldn´t do that last set and I had to go straight home. Such a shame!!!! :-(

At least we got to do 5 of the photosets planned! Yay! Than on my way home the handle of my suitcase broke so I couldn´t pull it all properly anymore. And on top of that I got my lunch all over my coat and the suitcase. However I just got a photo from the shooting and it was worth the horror :-)

Trivia: Once in a few years I actually play mini golf. However I suck at it so I loose interest half way through the game when it is super obvious that nothing can happen that can prevent me from losing :-D

Things so beautifull that I want to buy them, marry them and get their babies Part 1

Hello everyone,

all the shops release their spring things now and OH MY GOD! It is too many beautifull things to bear!!! So I will do a little blog series. I can´t buy it all. Actually I can´t buy anything right now. I´m budgetting and my monthly budget already went over board for...









the Harlow Set AND Laura Top






I would need 10 months worth of budget for the following things and wouldn´t be allowed to buy anything else, however here they are. OLD faves and NEW ones by www.whatkatiedid.com

NEW:

Oh Morticia corset! I love you in any variation there can be. Your nipped in waist would look so, so, SO fantastic on me. Someday I will own you. Yes I swear. If I happen to become rich and famous I will even take one of each. You´d be so pretty as outerwear or under any dress with a defined waist. We´d wiggle down the street together and everyone would know: We are destined to be together!



French Knickers and strapless Glamour Bra. French Knickers who wouldn´t want to lounge around in those? Quiet realistic in my eyes, however the strapless Glamour Bra is a rather cruel temptress to me as it just won´t be made in my size. No 36E or 38D! I will weep my lonely tears and hope it will change some day.



Glamour Corselette Panty. I already love the original Pull on Glamour Corselette, so naturally it´s little sister is attracting me as well. If you´d ask me to decide I wouldn´t know what to do! (Probably the Pull on Corselette first, later the Panty version! After all the pull on was there first;-)

Those are just a few of the new additions, however my favourite ones. you can see all of them here:


OLD Loves that did not give in to my begging for stepping into my closet.... YET.

Do the Smith

Another Photo from last weekends shooting. We were almost done shooting when Dirk asked me whether I know that classic pose that Anna Nicole Smith did for the H&M commercial and if I´d mind giving that a try. Off course I said yes (otherwise there would be another photo here :-)

I won´t treat you like a dog....

Making cute things with a naughty material

Hi everyone,

I hope you arrived in 2011 in a fantastic way. Every year is exiting cause we do not know what lies ahead. I hope to get more things done than last year. I´m tired of working, getting home and than doing nothing. I wanna do more crafty stuff for my shootings. And I just started with it. With a new material to match!

Latex is a material mostly associated with dominas, women in gasmasks and a kinky lifestyle by the mainstream. However what is not taken into consideration: It is a damn good looking material, relatively easy to use and you can do cute things with it!



I bought this Latex Mini Skirt on ebay for a few bucks with the idea of making a cute and quirky girdle out of it! You can really make a bargain with those. In fact I bought a second one for 11 € including shipping to make one more!


Everything looks cuter with ruffles and hearts. I know the glue is supposed to be transparent before you stick the pieces together, but I was impatient!!!! Next time I will be a good girl cause the liquid glue can make ugly marks on the shiny material. I learned it the hard way! Note how I found an additional use for the hairclips with that I usually pin curl my hair!


I carefully marked the hem with a gel pen to glue my dried ruffles there in the most possible even way...
Tada!!! Now I will just need to make a top to go with it and add the suspenders! Ignore the glue marks on the finished result. If anyone knows a good way to get rid of the marks let me know! I already tried alcohole and water. This is the second latex piece I ever made and I will be doing a shooting with it hopefully soon!!!

Everybodies darling

Hi everyone!
I received the latest Ars Vivendi Newsletter with the latest offers and infos and guess whose making of video is their favourite link of the month? Yeah you guessed right, it´s ME! Is there a better way to start Saturday morning?

By the way, they offer 10 Euro discount right now when you buy items for at least 50 Euro and enter the code "47E2844B2D" when you check out. This offer is valid until the 15th of October.

Just click here to start shopping: http://www.ars-vivendi.de/shop/catframe.asp?vp_id=affilinet

And while we are on the topic: Kiss me Deadly lingerie released some new lingerie set that are super-adorable. Here I post my favourites:

The Vargas Girdle:
http://www.lamagia-lingerie.co.uk/images/products/huge_mswhite_large.jpg?1191442779
I absolutelyunderstand why it´s called the Vargas girdle. The pastell colours are like from a Vargas-Painting for sure.

The Sirena Bra:
http://www.lamagia-lingerie.co.uk/images/products/huge_revgreen3_large.jpg?1191182655
Really enchanting in my oppinion. Though I´m honestly not that much in it for the panties since they are so low-cut.

Since Ars Vivendi also released Kiss me Deadlys Alouette-line I´m in hopes they gonna stock those, too, when they are released in November.

I finally received my Knittax-Knitting maschine yesterday and I think it´s cursed. First it fell on my right big toe (The next 15 minutes I spended jumping around and biting in my pillow, but it´s not broken and just hurts a bit now) and hit me on my knee, that I was placing it next to my kittchen-door and hit my left foot with a needle. Thank god I´m not a foot-fetish model cause I´m quiet sure that there´ll be a big scar. If you ask me my Knittax tries to kill me. But I´ll read the manual today and try to do something with it. If you don´t hear from me in the next week it managed to kill me.....

Hugs,
Sari

Confessions of a lingerie lover

Hi everyone!
It´s not a secret that I have a faible for cute vintage lingerie. Especially not if it´s not too expensive!

As you probably know I grew up in a very small town and back in the day beautifull lingerie was just not available there. So when I became a trainee at age of 19 and was in a biiiig city (138.000 citizens is a big town when you come from a place where there are barely 6.000 just for the record: Düsseldorf, where I live now, has almost 600.000 citizens) I regulary frequented the local lingerie stores. Later followed the wish for vintage style lingerie since I find it more comfortable and prettier. So is it bad that I´m happy that those seem to be released now? http://www.naturana.com/deutsch/neues/neues.html (And I checked: Naturana isn´t expensive! I saw a website where they are between 13 and 20 Euro)

I also got to admit that at the beginning I didn´t like nylon-stockings cause nowadays one gets associations towards the vertical business with it. But that was until I realised what georgous legs you get with them and how pretty a girdle can be and how it enhances the figure! My personal faves: Nude stockings with black seam! For a special Va-Vooooom feeling but still not too naughty.

But I allways wanted a corset! At the young age of 19 I bought my first one on ebay... and was disappointed. It had tiny tiny cups and me a big big chest already (had it since I was about 14 or 15). My Mom loved in on the other hand and badly wanted to try it on. Well, there are reasons why you shouldn´t lace it too tight if you´re a beginner and my Mom couldn´t wear it for more than a few minutes. That´s what you get when your teenage-daughter laces you in I guess. *lol* So since no one of us could wear it, it went back to ebay. The next ones went better and my other girlfriends liked the corsets so much that they bought some themselves. I don´t think they still wear them though :-)

And here for a good laugh is a link to a oooold website of mine with my very very humble pin up beginnings. The last row includes selfs of me taken in corsets. I was between 19 and 21 years than. http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/sariworld/Pin.htm

Do you believe me that those were actually the photos I sended out to photographers to get my first photo-shoot? I´ve come a looooong way since...

Tommorow I´ll post the photos from the Miss Giggles shooting... You gonna LOVE them, I promise. Miss Giggles and I do for sure!
