And... I'm Back UP!

Remember me? The girl who sucks at full-fledged blog entries but is a tweeting maniac most days? I start to think about how to approach blogging after, um, not having anything here since September, and then I just decide I'd rather go answer 10-15 fan emails/messages, or post a couple of cam snaps in my TwitPics before I start camming than come back to blogger and confess that I'm awful at blogging again. I think I really just need to re-adapt my style to being LESS RAMBLING. I know, I know the irony! The title of this blog is "The Naughty Nymph Rambles"! Well, perhaps, just perhaps, I will strive to be less wordy. I'm pretty most folks are really just looking for pictures and links anyway. That and to make sure I haven't given up my naked-porno-ways.

Speaking of "giving up" that's exactly what the server that hosts our sites did mid-November, so if you tried to cruise by AmberLily.net and my friends sites TastyTrixie.com & DeliaTS.com and saw this BAD NEWS message -- that's what THAT was about.
Needless to say, it was horrible. Truly, honestly, my heart still goes out to Trixie & Delia because it was such a demoralizing blow for them. The majority of their earnings and their financial way of life comes from operating their sites, and to see their years of hard work go *POOF* over the course of a couple of hours is beyond words. Even with everything being mostly recovered, I still shake my head thinking about it. I've been through major losses with my own hardware, and there was that whole ProAdult fiasco a few years ago when they just up and left the amateur porn webmasters in their AVS -- dropping our figurative dicks in the dirt and shitting all over them, but yeah -- it really bears repeating that even if you think your work is backed up maybe you should back it up a couple more times because the technology that helps us run our lives sure ain't perfect. I was missing some of my most current galleries from my members area because they were backed up on the PC that I lost, but really over the last two years I've been much, much better about not keeping all of my eggs in one basket. I'm even looking forward to any post-Christmas sales at Best Buy or online somewhere so I can get another external hard drive or two just in case...


My site was down long enough for me to think about what it would be like if I didn't have it anymore. As odd as it might sound, I think that was a good experience for me. It's no secret to my hardcore followers that I've not been that together with the adult webmaster part of my life for some time now, but after dwelling in the "it could just all be gone... if I want it to be gone..." feelings for awhile, other feelings surfaced. What I learned from the experience is that I'd LOVE to start again. I really need a website that reflects what I'm doing now. Sure, I still have a thing for panties and pantyhose, but what I've grown most comfortable with since about March is the idea that I'm a helluva good webcam model. I think I've really blossomed (yeah, yeah, AmberLily just said that she's BLOSSOMED) after getting the hang of HD camming on Streamate. So I've already started a revamp for my website. I won't be completely rebuilding everything, but it does need to be made more current.



It's all I can do not to go and register a new, more appropriately fitting url -- maybe even something with a freaking .COM so people can find me more easily!!! -- but I'm going to restrain myself until I get the new pages up. That's my goal. In a couple of months time, to have a redesigned site that will work out for better for a nerdy camgirl like me. Again, I appreciate those of you who've stuck with me through-out the years -- through different payment processors/systems, webcam network site platforms, and now this recent server hard drive failure. I'm gonna try to make sure we get at least one "Members Only" Holiday Camshow before the month of December is out, so check the inside of my members area for that.



Remember that part earlier where I said I was going to try to be less rambling? Guess, I didn't quite make it this time with that new philosophy, huh? I'll be back in later to try again. Maybe even with some Star Wars links. In the mean time, enjoy what's left of the weekend!

PS - Yes, that is me sucking on Obi-Wan in that last webcam picture. Sweet, tasty, middle-aged Obi-Wan...

PPS - I quit the gym. Lasted a whole three months. I think that between walking the dog & masturbating for hours a day, several days a week that I'm good with the calorie-burning.

Wha? Summer's Just About Over? Good deal!

Yes! Summer's really just about over! YES!

The end of Summer means the beginning of Fall which is my favorite season, and I'm excited. Aren't you? Over the last couple of months, I've channeled some significant energy into getting my home office or my Webwhore Headquarters (to borrow from Trixie's vernacular) set up. It took me forever to paint and redecorate, but the place turning out pretty decent (as you can see in that picture up there, I hope). I'm not finished unpacking all of my clothes yet -- costumes & shoes are still trying to get situated. I always forget *exactly* how much stuff I've got until I try to unpack and then amongst all of the wilting cardboard I remember and am overwhelmed. Instead of letting myself feel too daunted, I've tried to remain optimistic that I'll actually get to use all of these high heels and lacy underthings on webcam. And Halloween is coming!!! I've a renewed enthusiasm for trying to have this room set up for costume-themed webcamming. While we're on the topic of costumes and Halloween. I wonder what my viewers and online friends would like to see me in this year? I have a few ensembles that I've not yet debuted, but if you'd like to pick something new from my Amazon Wishlist -- I added a bunch of sexy costumes. Certainly couldn't hurt to have a few more, right?

Since the last time I blogged, I've been up to a few other things as well. BigD and I have made a commitment to being more healthy and so we -- *gasp* -- have joined a gym! I know, I know, you probably never thought you'd see the day that junk-foodie AmberLily would be exercising the conventional way, but alas, I am. I'm also the biggest whiner when it's time go too. ;) Still, it's better to try to make some improvements in the name of keeping fit and with my no longer working out on a nightly basis on a stripclub's stage -- having a gym membership seems like the best option. I can't say that I'm feeling more toned or anything yet. I've always felt like that kind of thing comes and goes on me from week to week anyway, but aren't you proud of me for trying? I've cut down on the amount of sugary sweets I eat but I haven't cut them out of my diet altogether. Wouldn't that be totally futile now that stores everywhere are stocking their shelves with fun-sized candies and Starbucks has brought back their Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Methinks so.

Other notable investments have been a second computer for my webwork (this time a PC) and SoCal resident annual passports to Disneyland. Whoo hoo! I'm still in the "adapting to Windows 7 phase" with the new machine, but really, it can only mean good things as I buckle down and use some of my days off from camming on Streamate to work on website stuff. And the other days off, well, don't you agree that they should be spent doing something fun? That's where Disneyland comes in. It's nice to pop on over to Mickey's place, hit a couple of rides, and then grab dinner without the pressure of trying to squeeze in as much Disney fun as possible because we know we won't be back until next year. Having passes gives us more breathing room to take in a little here and there -- and I'm thankful for it. So don't be surprised if you see more cellphone snaps like this one with me stuffing my face on bread pudding at the Cafe Orleans in my TwitPics. I promise I'll try to figure out how to rotate pics in my silly phone next time around, lol. (Lordy, I miss my old phone, it was easier with that kind of thing.)

I should shake a leg and get in the shower before I start webcamming tonight/this morning. Here's the view from my chatroom if you haven't visited me on Streamate in awhile.

I'm Behind, Behind...Here's Pics Of My Behind



If you haven't already guessed, it's just been all about me and my almost-every-night webcam routine and little else since I last blogged. Eat, sleep, take the dog out for a walk, pet the cats, kiss BigD, cam, cam, cam! I love camming, really, I do, but this schedule I've been on has been a bit much. 100% necessary to my financial survival, mind you, but it hasn't been leaving me with much time to smell the roses.

So it's about time I started gambling. No, not of the playing poker variety -- of the stripclub variety. I *want* to remain optimistic about the club conditions here, and there are many, many more clubs to choose from than in the last state we lived in, but I think my standards are just awful high. I don't want to work in a stripclub masquerading as a whore-house (because I'd so just make the jump to be a straight up "working girl" & head on out to the Bunny Ranch if that's what I wanted) and obviously I don't want to work at a dead club where I can't make any money because I always count on making *something* webcamming. Or at least not ending the night *owing* money which is one of things that happens when you're an exotic dancer.



I've been waiting patiently for the sucky for sales post-Christmas period to be over before I even attempt to scope any of the SoCal stripclubs out, and I think this week is the week. I'm SUPER nervous, but I've missed being a stripper too much to not try. It was a job that I actually felt like I was getting *better* at before we moved away from Memphis to stripper-hostile Seattle where I couldn't put myself at risk of arrest for such little reward. (I STILL don't get how a rough town like Memphis can be safer for a girl to get naked on a stage for pay in than Seattle, but whatever, I'm not there to concern myself with it anymore.)



My ideal is to find a good club that I can work two, three, or four nights a week and then still cam or work on my sites the remaining nights while being able to afford a day off or even *two* days off most weeks. Heck, if I'm being that positive, maybe I'll EVEN be able to take a vacation at some point. (Not holding my breath here, but ya never know, lol.) I'm sure those of you who work for yourself know where I'm coming from with all of this schedule talk.



I'd like to take a moment before I hit "Publish Post" to say thank you to those who've maintained their subscriptions to either or both of my sites, the "main" one AmberLily.net and the foot fetish only version NymphFeet.com. For what they've lacked in photo gallery and video updates, I like to feel like I've made up for with unlimited access to my PrivateCamz archives that update damn near everyday and my regular one-hour Camz Group Shows. That's where all of these webcam shots have come from, one of last night's one-on-one sessions. That page on my site has an outdated number of shows now. As of February 11th 2010 I'm now over 3400 shows. Wowie, does that seem like a lot or what? So, please enjoy those as I *continue* to get my computer issues squared away. (Yup, I've not yet figured out how to afford a new computer on my present budget so that I have a decent machine to work on while I try to fix all of the broken computers -- cuz, man, are they ever freaking broken. Ugh.)

And I will keep you posted on how the return to exotic dancing is going or if it's even going at all. No worries there, my SoCal friends. If I can find the right place, I'll fer sure want you to come out and play with me in person.

Merry Christmas 2009!



Your favorite spazzzz camgirl recorded this vlog for you in the wee hours of Christmas morn, and she hopes that you'll dig it while having a warm and wonderful holiday. (If you're into that kind of thing.) Isn't the frame this vlog's stuck on a horrible image of me? Hurry up and make it play so you can see that okay and not suffering from some kind of bizarre mental illness... Hey, wait a second... Just kidding!

And here is our new family member: Dutch, the Puppy Cyclone, who sat still just long enough for me to get this picture. So what do you think: German Shepherd/Husky Mix or is he gonna turn out more Border Collie?

CamZ Group Show Didn't Happen Today

Unfortunately, Camz went down today *right before* my weekly 1-hour group camshow was scheduled to start at 7pm ET / 4pm PT. I'm sure it was just another case of unknown/unexpected technical difficulties with their latest system changes. Nevertheless, I was on time and ready, and I hit my twitter to fill everyone in on what was going on as it was happening. Here's the three funny/sexy 12 second videos that I recorded to show off what I was wearing:


Well, it looks like Camz is down. But I was ready on time, see?


So a great big WTF with an !


Think I should surprise hubby in this lil ensemble?

So after goofing around and recording those, I decided to test out a free twitter-friendly cam service called CamTweet.com because I figured why not sit & chat while dressed up in my sexy red and black Cuban heel stockings before BigD got home. Things were purely non-nude as per their TOS, but it was a nice way to feel connected for a few moments with my site members and non-members alike -- after we figured out to use the chatroom to communicate with each other, of course. Not the easiest, most-streamlined method for webcam broadcasting, but my impromptu chat seemed to go over pretty well, and we appreciated the venue. I rambled up a storm about music and stripping and television shows and stuff while only getting tongue-tied a few times here and there. There was no clock at CamTweet, but I'm fairly certain that my free webcam stream lasted for 40-50 minutes or so and the quality wasn't half bad. The experience was a reminder that yes, webcam stuff can be fun *even* when it's just all talking and me playing with my hair while not getting naked.

I'm not sure that I'll be able to easily slip into another CamZ Group Show timeslot this week to attempt a make-up show, but if I can -- I will be sure to post it the members area & on my twitter. (And yes, I realize that my tweets over there in the sidebar of my blog are looking like ass -- I need to figure out a prettier way to display them. I just don't have it figured out yet.)

AmateurCamz/PrivateCamz Update



The owner of Camz sent all of the performers on the Camz network an email explain the recent tech issues: As it turns out, the building where the computers for Camz are hosted was to receive an upgrade to their air conditioning. Instead of doing the A/C units one at a time as instructed, they shut down all of the A/C units at once. The temporary units brought in were not enough to keep the data center cooled. This caused the data center to overheat and machines were shut down. The hosting company was not at fault since they were not even notified of the air unit upgrade. However, the end result was Camz lost a few core machines. This caused a great deal of downtime and instability. Long story short is that Camz has the new machines and is nearing the completion of many of the transfers that will once again add stability to the network. They've even taken it a step further and set up redundancy to their core machines to avoid issues like this in the future.

So there we are. You know what I know. What I wrote above is pretty much a regurgitation of the email I received. I'm optimistic that the worst is behind us and that my regular one-hour shows will more *regular*. My current weekly showtime is still: Tuesdays, 7pm ET / 4pm PT. See you tomorrow? Join my site to get a ticket to the show and see thousands of naughty pictures & hours of video of me to boot.

CamZ Group Show Not Happening = Tech Issues



Figured it would be a good idea to record a vlog explaining about my group camshow situation -- Camz has been experiencing quite a few technical issues over the last month or so, and so it's been a gamble whether or not my shows would still be, well, showing. I'm going to see what's happening with my support request, and if they can give us any sort of time frame on when their server problems are going to be over. In all honesty, I'm not sure that they'll have any specific answers to give. Problems just happen.

If you're a member of either of my sites AmberLily.net or NymphFeet.com -- trust in knowledge that I will find another broadcasting method for my once a week group shows, if necessary. Stay tuned!!

Pictures Of Our Newest Kitty, Fancy Pants



A few fellow cat-lovers have asked more about how Fancy's doing, so I thought I'd take time out to show off the latest addition to our feline household. Yes, this is kitty #4. I'm only two cats shy of being a "Crazy Cat Lady" according to Archie McPhee's Crazy Cat Lady Quiz -- six is the magical number. Naturally, I didn't set out to have this many, Fancy was inherited, after all. The other three: Princess Leia Kitty (or just Princess), Tigger II (or just TT), and Captain Friendly (or just Captain) were all rescued or strays that just happened to us. See pictures of them here on my favorites page. I think that's how it works for most people: cats, cats they *just happen*. All three of our furry babies have been terribly spoiled. My voyeur cam viewers have even commented on how much attention I lavish on them (when they think I'm not paying attention to the chatroom, I've seen their jealous comments).

Miss Fancy Pants is beginning to allow us the privilege of spoiling her too. She was used to being "only kitty" at BigD's mom's house, so being introduced to three other cats and in a much smaller environment was sort of a shock for her. Fancy holds her own ground though. That first picture makes her look more sinister than she really is. The second picture with her tongue out helps soften her look, I thought.

Can't you just imagine the FUN I'm going to have driving them all down to Southern California? Yes, I'm sure it'll be a real treat, lol. The chorus of meows will surely be deafening. Thank goodness this is the move home and the last time we'll ever do this. ;)

Have to Cancel Today's CamZ Show

I know, it sucks, but I've got my handsful with a couple of things today that I hadn't counted on. I will schedule a make-up CamZ show when I can!

All Moved & Will Keep On Moving - So To Speak

Okay! So here I am, all moved-in at the new place. And my internet's been hooked back up, and I've got my group CamZ show back on the schedule for Tuesday @ 4pm PT / 7pm ET. I haven't updated the pages of my sites yet, but I will, don't worry. :)

Things are a bit jumble for me because I'm trying to get back to being a stripper now that I've moved. It'll be way different from what I was used to. Everything is more complicated here, but tonight, I did indeed get hired. Not scheduled. Not given the grand tour of the dressing room or a break-down on all of the "how it works here's," but thoroughly interviewed and hired. At this point, it's too early to say if this is going to work out for me, but suffice it to say that I really, really, really want it to! I have no plans to give up one-on-one camming, but some work outside of the house where I get to stretch my legs in those entertaining ways that amuse even myself on stage and make some cold hard cash is pretty much all I've been able to think about (aside from all of the other more mundane problems with the move from apt #1 to apt #2, of course). I have no idea how many days I'll be working, or if they'll be days or nights, but I'm sure with more time I will get into a good rhythm that should let me be a happy camper. And if it doesn't work out for me at this particular club? Well, there's a few other club options. Right at this moment, I'm feeling rather rusty and somewhat nervous.

Will keep ya'll posted.

Members Updated, Wild Tights



Over the weekend, I updated my members only area with this hosiery gallery: Wild Tights. (If you're not already a member, or if you've recently let your subscription lapse, hit the Join Page to get inside.). 85 pictures of me rolling around on my bed in a pair of brightly colored opaque houndtooth print pantyhose. I'm calling them "tights" but they really seem to have more in common with my higher quality pantyhose.



They feel smoother. And as members notice in a few of the shots, in the over-powering sunlight, there are times when they are more transparent than regular tights. I love those shots where you can see my pussy through the stretched fabric just like light through a stained glass window pane. It warmed my pussy so much so that I was getting terribly moist.



Here's the steamy bit of what I wrote for members to go with this gallery: When I was putting this outfit together, it totally made me think of some chicks I'd seen hanging out at Starbucks recently. Clearly, they were stopping by after work for a coffee & to gab, in their dresses and brightly-colored pantyhose and boots. I envied them, but I didn't necessarily want to be them. Too boisterous, too young. I entertained a brief fantasy of me wearing what I'm wearing for you this gallery and being picked up on at a Starbucks. Too colorful to be not be noticed. Vaguely stylish, vaguely bored after mellowing how with a Chai Latte. How easy would I be? Would I make my pick up fuck me with my tights only pulled down because I'd need to get back to the apartment before my husband made it home from work? No, hubby would probably get stuck in traffic. I'd take the extra time to take my tights all the way off...

Mmmm, so there we have it. Another update to enjoy in between all of those camshows in my PrivateCamz archives -- that I will surely be adding to tonight after BigD makes it through all that traffic to have dinner with me.

Members Updated, Navy Damsel In Distress

Damsel In Distress Bondage Shoot Tomorrow

Er, technically today since it's about 1:30am right now. This will be my first "getting tied up" for pay experience, and I'm rather looking forward to it. David Knight contacted me a few weeks ago via a modeling profile that I posted not too long after our move to Washington. I've always wanted to dabble in some professional modeling and the "damsel in distress" photo samples that I've seen look like they could be fun. The sites that David directed me to use more amateur girl-next-door types than professional fetish models, so I think "my look" is definitely suitable for their bondage scenarios. (Because this is a paid shoot, members won't be seeing any of the content on either of my websites, but I will inquire as to when my photos/videos are online so my die-hard fans will be able to see how I spent this particular Saturday.) The location's a bit of a drive, and BigD has elected to come along even though I know he'll be bored, so we'll be gone for pretty much the entire day. I should *probably* be in bed now, but I figured I'd do a nice hot shower tonight and am letting my hair dry while I make a post here since I *very obviously* still don't blog enough, lol.

It's been a weird last couple of weeks, and I'd like to apologize for not being more prolific in my blog and site. Some of you who are able to attend my group shows have heard me complain about "my tummy issues" and while I to try to keep the negatives to a minimum because I'm there to have fun and be entertaining at the same time. (I don't figure that I'm really being a downer by including a little bit more explanation of what's going on here.) I know that quite of few folks who read my blog care about my well-being. Evidently, somewhere around Labor Day Weekend, I picked up a strange bacteria that gave me a bacterial stomach infection. I thought I had stomach flu because anytime I'd try to have dinner, back up it would come. When it didn't go away, I thought I'd better see the doctor who immediately recommended blood tests. A few short days later, the results came in and they discovered what I picked up. Now, they've told me the name, but it's something unpronounceable, and I don't even remember enough of what it *kind of* sounded like to type it's name here. I was paranoid that maybe I'd given it to myself -- Just maybe I was a bad webwhore who hadn't washed all of her dildos throughly enough or something like that, but no, this was definiately an icky you tend to get out, probably even at a restaurant. If left untreated, this bacteria will cause a stomach ulcer, so we're trying to make sure *that* doesn't happen with high-powered antibotics and other meds that I'm taking twice a day for a total of fourteen days. And lemme tell ya, gosh are they gross. Better than the alternative, I'm sure, but still blech with a variety of side effects that I don't think I need to get into. Only six more days and that should be that. Whew! I think it's really messed with my normal energy level and has affected my mood, but really I believe myself to be in good spirits and am going to be *very* happy when I'm all normal again.

I'm going to make a conscious effort to sit down and spend the necessary three to four hours to work on a gallery update for AmberLily.net this weekend. At the moment, I'm going back and forth between one of the photo set's that Trixie shot of me or the one I mentioned earlier. Maybe I'll get ambitious and do *two* photo gallery updates because I'm behind. :)

And now, to answer a few random questions I've gotten via email lately:

--Yes, I *have* gotten to see the first two episodes of HBO's "True Blood" and found it to be more exciting than I expected. (A thank you shout out to Cliff who was nice enough to indulge me.) It's not as emotionally investing as Buffy or Angel was for me, but maybe that's something that's still coming. I love that it's in The South because, yes, there are times when I miss those colorful southern expressions. :)

--No, I didn't make it to the movies in time to see the Star Wars cartoon movie. That's more of a BigD thing though I certainly wasn't opposed to going. We just kind of ran out of time, and unless we find it at an older theater, I think we're out of luck and will have to wait for the dvd.

--Yes, now that it's October I *do* have some costumes lined up for my two hour-long group webcam shows. As a matter of fact, my costume shows have already started! I was Snow White on CamZ last Tuesday and in my Catholic School Girl Uniform on Thursday at Rude. It's looking like I will be able to have .flv archives of my CamZ shows available to members of AmberLily.net in the near future. I'm tempted to fork over some dough on another video editing program that will be able to convert those files into regular Windows Media, but I just haven't been able to do it because...

--No, my monitor is still near death. Sigh. BigD's offered up his monitor, but I just don't feel good about taking it. I'm not thrilled with buying a new one, but it's just time for me to face the fact that one of these days it's not going to work at all. It wasn't the most expensive flat screened monitor to start with but still... Such is life, aye?

Okay, my hair is dry and it's much later than I intended to stay up, but that's what I get for not blogging more regularly. A really long entry that wanders all over the place. :)

Happy Weekend!

Foot Fetish Camshow To Be Rescheduled

I've just started keeping my weekly Foot Fetish Camshow on the CamZ network on Tuesdays @4pm ET but as far as today is concerned -- it's cancelled. They're coming in to do an apt inspection, so I will have to reschedule. Keep your eyes peeled for late Wednesday (or another later timeslot) this week.
