Some Serious Bondage!

I've referenced the JGLeather's Bubbler Bondage scene on Serious Bondage a few times on this blog and elsewhere. Tonight, I finally got to recreate it for myself.

The big dilemma was whether to use a leather or latex straitjacket. My client has a fetish for both. I, however, have a fetish for bondage, so I chose leather because I wanted to be sure I could strap him down to the chair nice and tight without worrying about damaging the rubber. Next came the medium electric plug from Mr. S, as well as a corona cap, and a blue band to round out the electrics. Once in the Fetters leather SJ, he sat down in the chair where I hitched the pinion straps through the wood of the chair back. I added extra leather restraining belts at the biceps, thighs and calves to points on the chair to keep him in his seat. I further secured him with HumaneRestraint's locking leg braces.

I didn't want him going anywhere.

Finally the Studiogum MultiFunction rubber hood was put on. We were nearly there. As anticipated (thanks to some well-timed water drinking), I really had to pee, so I filled up the bubbler bottle with my piss, and attached the funnel hose to the gas mask. The bubble is much like a bong: when you inhale, air is passed through the fluid in the bottle before it gets to your lungs.

I love the idea that every breath he takes goes through "me" first: he smells me, breathes me. For this brief time, he literally can't live without me.

When we're done, this is how it looks. Click here for the video.


As the Top in a scene like this, it's really all about the rigging (well, I admit I did get a little giddy hearing that gurgle of his breath through the bubbler and seeing just how little he could move). A little later in the scene, I sat on the floor between his legs and held the Venus receiver on his cock. I loved watching him try to fuck the sleeve and just being completely frustrated in his movements.

When I took the hood off his head, sweat poured off him. His eyes were glazed and slow to focus. "THAT was intense," was all he could say at first.

No kidding. I can't wait to do it again.

Leather

I was strolling from the chiropractor's near the Museum of Natural History, down to Magnolia Bakery's UWS outpost and stopped by Housing Works just to see what kind of stuff they had. A few weeks ago, I'd browsed the wares at the Chelsea store and marveled at how many leather skirts were on sale there. The UWS version was cluttered not only with leather skirts, but an actual bullwhip!

My friend was at my studio the other day and found herself face deep in my Fetters whipping bench. She later wrote me: " I <3 your spanking bench -- it is soooo soft." It is. John of Fetters picked out the leather specifically for me. It's an incredible lot. Plus, when your face goes in the cradle you're just engulfed in the smell of leather. So sensual.

I've been wearing leather a lot lately. Those few of you who turned up at the most recent Cat O' Nine might have seen me in my leather tank top and ... hot pants!

But not just for fetish parties!

My favorite ensemble of late is a leather miniskirt with a center front zip and corset lacing in the back and either a leather top or one of my signature boy beater Tees. I've also been wearing my leather dresses and corsets (though that's really more medical than anything). Quite fun.

Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most

One of my blog readers sent me an MP3 of Betty Carter singing this after my Happy Spring post. I should have been playing it last night when I finally got to break in my new springs.


What you're seeing here is the bottom in a Fetters suspendable, leather lined sleep sack, then wrapped in my Fetters suspension sling. Weight-graded carabiners were attached at multiple points, primarily to the sling (which can be used horizontally, vertically, or even inverted!!) and then connected to springs tethered to various bondage points on my MetalBound rig. Underneath all that was a pin prick sheath around his cock and a C&B "bikini" harness (it kinda looks like this. But in rubber.).

The event itself was achieved after some collaboration between my bondage bottom and I. The hoists aren't actually engaged -- the entire suspension was solely by the springs -- but I had them there as safety measures.

So here's what I loved about this set up.

I loved the geekiness of it. The puzzle of solving HOW to do it. One of my favorite parts of play is just figuring out how to realize a vision. How to make it happen. And then it's done and it's just this giddy, "Fuck YEAH! I did that!" And it looks so cool, too, doesn't it? Kinda sci-fi, yet warmed by the mirrors, the drapes, the colors of the room. Me.

I loved that he was really comfortable, yet totally helpless and immobilized. This means I can put someone in this position and there won't be any distractions to interrupt the scene. Once I got him up and secure, I sat with my laptop, excitedly chatting online with MVX about what I was doing (had to tell someone. I was too pleased!).

I loved the potential of it. I want to do this again, and once the bottom's up, invade him with electrics. (There are both rear and front entry zippers on the sleep sack ... or I could have him wired up beforehand.) Or I could add the Venus2K on a timer. Or even just pricker pads on the nipples. I'm fantasizing about "abandonment" or overnights in this spring suspension. Just how long can someone handle it?

At one point, I climbed on top of him while he was suspended. I straddled him first, then lay my full length along his. The suspension straps made it a little uncomfortable for me, but I liked that it could be done and I think there's more exploration that could happen here.

It was just all delicious fun. And now that I've got the blueprint, I'll be doing a formal set up this weekend for the photo shoot. I'm also planning on doing a similar suspension, but vertical and with a straitjacket. I can just imagine having a client, his balls weighted, pulling him down, the springs holding him up, and me just somewhere in the middle of all that, driving him crazy.

Can you tell how excited I am? I can't even make this post make sense!

Mmm. Gear plus Looking for Volunteers

So I'm back from London and my trip to Fetters with Mistress Avalon.

What an unbelievable trip.

First, I want to thank Mistress Avalon who proved to be an ideal partner in kink and traveling companion. Next my gratitude to J&J for their perfect cuppas, side splitting yarns, and excellent English composure. And lastly I'd like to express my appreciation to the clients who made time to play with us. Y'all were great. Enthusiastic, even.

Avalon and I were like kids in the candy store at Fetters, with me pointing out things that I loved from my Fetters collection and Mistress Avalon inspiring me to add pieces based on her shopping list. (Thanks to P for adding his 79 pence as well!) Honestly, between the two of us, I think we're coming close to being majority shareholders in the Fetters collection.

Just thinking about all the amazing leather bondage gear we have between us -- not to mention how incredible our session chemistry is -- got us thinking about how much fun it would be to design some intensive, multi-day leather bondage scenarios. We could kidnap then shuttle our captive between our studios. Bring in some of the city's premiere Dominas to assist us. Just build this extraordinary experience for the leather bondage connoisseur. Spring suspensions in the bondage harness. Innumerable leather head trips. Overnights catheterized in my MaxCITA sleep sack or Fetters suspendable sleep sack. Randomized electrics. Or the Venus. Captivity. Immobilization.

Stay with us. Stay with me. Stay.

Gah. The possibilities are just endless.

*********

Though there's a fair amount to be shipped, I also brought a bunch of the new stuff back with me, which I'll be photographing and posting early next week (I hope). Speaking of which, I could use a bondage model. I've talked with a couple of you already and there may be some others of you interested: If you're up for a little anonymous shooting in heavy leather bondage gear April 10, 11, 12 or 14, please shoot me an email with your measurements (preference given to men 5'10-6'2, with 34-38" waist), general description, and specific availability. Thank you.

Honey, I'm Home!

Jet lag is a bitch. Just needed to say that and get it out of the way. I'm glad to be home in New York again. Maybe now I can finally get some sleep!

Thanks -- mucho thanks -- to all of you who expressed concern, condolences, and offered your assistance in the recovery of my beloved BlackBerry. It appears to be lost in phone purgatory, never to return. I've filed the insurance claim so it looks like I'll have a replacement soon enough. But, oh! the bureaucracy!

My trip to London was outstanding. I was giddy with delight from arrival to departure. (My only regret was not being able to make it out to Manchester for a visit with LC ... so sorry, darling. Next time.) My visit to the Fetters showroom in Warwick couldn't have gone better. A lovely train ride (it's just under 90 minutes from central London) to the drool-licious premises. It was all I could do not to buy up everything in the store! The proprietors, John and Jan, and their excellent lead craftsperson, Jayne (formerly a leather detailer at Jaguar!) were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly committed to quality .... You know how sometimes you don't mind paying a little more when you know you're going to be taken care of? That's what buying from Fetters is like. Just personal attention to detail from people who know what they're talking about and proudly stand behind their product.

So I got my sleepsack. With tit prick flaps, tightening straps, suspendable D-rings in every possible direction, and just every bit of intelligent design details you can imagine. And I bought (yes, Me. My money.) a suspendable strap cage (which you can kinda get a sense of in this picture). It's a hanging leather bondage device that can go vertical, horizontal, or inverted. I've never seen anything like it before. I can't wait to inaugurate it. Other nifties I picked up included a latex suffocation/breath play hood, leather face mask, suspension bar, and locking posture collar, all combined for a very, very heavy suitcase.

It should go without saying that my Fetters wishlist is far from fulfilled. If you're as excited by any of the below as I am, drop me a note. Maybe we can work together to make our fantasies come true.

Whipping Bench(the one I want has a headrest -- it's not pictured on their website but you can see it here)
Bondage Stool
Side Lace Hood (this item has been ordered! Yay!)
Anchor Point(this item has been ordered too! Thank you!)
Mailsack
Sleepsack suspension bar
Gas Mask and Bubbler
Multifunction Mask

I also want to thank MB, the Aussie, and RVD for their roles in making this such a wonderful experience all around. I'll have to pinch you all just so I know this isn't some amazing dream.

Now I've got a house full of new gear (almost forgot to mention, I also just acquired a complete violet wand set. Shocking, I know!). Who wants to play?!?
