New corset and other photos!

When I started the podcast, I set myself a goal I wanted to achieve with it, and a little while ago, I reached it!

To reward myself, I decided to buy myself something, and having reviewed many fashion sites in the previous podcasts I had plenty of ideas on what to look for! I settled on an online store I referenced in my very first podcast - http://www.corsets-au.com/ which is now called Corset Story.

I tried to buy http://www.corsets-au.com/my-087-classic-black-underbust-corset.html I went through and bought it with my credit card, but Corset Story came back, saying that this corset was no longer available. So they offered to refund me or allow me to pick another which costed up to $5 more.

However, I found one that cost $10 more that I liked http://www.corsets-au.com/waist-training-long-line-underbust-corset-in-silver-brocade-wt-023-azx.html and they let me have it at no extra cost. So nice!

Here's some pics of me in it, and a big thankyou to those who helped me pick it!


 Front and back views - tightly strung up! It's so cool having an hour glass figure!





 Why so feisty Cami? This corset takes your waist under 30 inches!


  

That's better!


Love the way the blonde hair wafts down to the corset.



I also took a few other pictures. The first one I truly love, I think it really shows the femme side of my face, heart, and things. :P
