Happy 4th!


I got to work with Ashley Renee http://ashleyrenee.com/ http://www.ashleysplayroom.com/ again on Wednesday. It's always a great way to start a month. Because of her busy schedule, we only had time to get two sets; but we made the most of the time we had to shoot.

We started with a video set. Ashley was wearing a delectable secretary ensemble of a hot pink blouse, a tight-fitting pinstripe miniskirt, black backseamed stockings with garters and classic black close-toed pumps. It was an interactive set, and I had no assistant that day. So we had a series of tripod shots as I (as the ski-masked villain) used white twisted nylon rope to bind our busty damsel into a frogtie. Poor Ashley was cleave-gagged with a scarf with stuffing. After I had the brunette beauty roped up and helpless, I exposed and fondled her considerable breasts. Then I used a vibrator to bring her to orgasm. I didn't get a chance to look at the playback, so I can only hope we managed to stay in frame, as Ashley seemed a little more "in the moment" than performing at that point.

After that we had time for a nice holiday-themed stills-only set. Ashley put on the stars-and-stripes barmaid dress, and she was progressively tied into a classic position with hemp rope http://vintagerope.com/ and ballgagged (her favorite; I think it's a law that Ashley must be ballgagged at every shoot). Then our patriotic heroine was closed into a trunk with a bundle of dynamite... just think of it as a very large bunch of firecrackers. She has the set up on her site already, just in time for the 4th of July weekend. When you can take a moment away from the cookout and fireworks, go check it out!

Spies in the Garage


It seems like there have been a lot of unusual circumstances, sick dogs and other strange goings-on lately; so it was a delightful change of pace when I got to to work with the amazing Nicole Oring again last Saturday. My good buddy Alexis Taylor http://bondagetokens.com/query.asp?SiteName=Alexis-Taylor was taking the stills and most of the video for me. Also since she was there, I got to shoot some more interactive still sets for http://artemisbound.com/ as well as http://americandamsels.com/

It was a rather cool, mostly overcast day; so I got to use some sets that aren't suitable for more extreme temperatures. We began with a stills-only story with Nicole sleeping in a shiny black slip and (we would find out later) cute, lacy blue panties. A ski-masked baddie crept in, clamped a black-gloved hand over her mouth and put a razor-sharp blade to her throat. The brunette beauty's hands and upper body were bound with twisted cotton rope, and she was cleave-gagged with a black cloth. The barefoot babe was spirited away to the attic, then her knees ankles and toes were tied. The kidnapper made his ransom call, and then poor Nicole was left alone to struggle.

We were preparing for the next photos-only adventure when Ikaras Jones http://www.bondagejones.com/ arrived. We were planning to do a spy story out in the garage, and Ikaras and Alexis did a great job of pulling the appropriate turtleneck, miniskirt and boots out of wardrobe for Ms. Oring. The Korean cutie was caught snooping by a comic book-style villain in a black trench coat and purple necktie (I wore that to amuse Lorelei). Yes, it was a cool day outside, but not if you're wearing a leather coat. Anyway, our heroine was tied to a chair with hemp rope http://vintagerope.com/ and interrogated. It was about this time that we heard someone at the driveway gate. Luckily, it was not the landlady or concerned neighbors but a couple of friends http://www.examiner.com/x-12641-LA-Positive-Sexuality-Examiner so I carried on with the torment. Brave Nicole resisted threats from the dagger, so I had to kick it up a notch. It was a cool day, but if you were getting water poured on your chest (like poor Nicole was) it was just a bit too cool. The water was not soaking into her sweater to give us the effect I was hoping for, so we had Alexis pat Nicole's chest a little. Yes, they're both straight and yes, Ikaras got some pictures of that. I was not Nicole's favorite person at that moment, as the water was not only seeping through her turtleneck but also into her pantyhose. Then the villain threatened her with a stun gun before he stumbled on the secret information.

For the last set we got interactive stills and solo video. Nicole wore a white, pin-striped blouse, gray miniskirt, off-black pantyhose and black heels. Ikaras carried her in over his shoulder, dumped her on the sofa, then he and I proceeded to thoroughly tie her up in a classic position with white twisted nylon rope, her ankles crossed and her heels secured to her feet. Since it was the final set of the day, Nicole was gagged with stuffing and black duct tape. Oh, she wasn't very happy with me at that moment either. The tape-gag looked a bit weird so we had to redo it. I mean, aesthetics are important. So I had to peel it off her face and do it over... and that's something I just about never do. I want the models to like me, so I never pull the tape off their faces. I let them rip their own lips off. Luckily for me, Nicole is a sweet and forgiving person; and she let me make it up to her and buy her dinner afterward.

I've been trying very hard...


...to come up with a good headline for this that doesn't read like spam. I've observed that bondage fans seem to be more faithful than a lot of other fetish enthusiasts. Every now and then someone will go on Lorelei's forum and ask the "whatever-happened-to" question about someone who left the business 10 or even 20 years ago. Frequently the answers are fairly mundane, but sometimes it's fascinating to hear about the paths they've chosen and the interests they've pursued. If you're the kind of person who's curious about that kind of thing, or if you just have a curiosity about sexuality in general, please take a moment to click the link below:

We had some good times...


In case you hadn't heard, when Lorelei was driving home after "Dark and Stormy Night" she was involved in an automobile accident. Luckily, no one was seriously injured, but her car has been declared a total loss. I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on her old Saturn. I wonder just how many women were tied up in that trunk? None were in there at the time of the accident, thank goodness, as that was the part of the car that suffered the most damage. But in any case, we got some nice photos and videos with that car.

A Rather Pleasant Night, Actually

Friday night Lorelei was kind enough to accompany me to the Los Angeles premier of "Dark and Stormy Night." For details (and lots and lots of links) just jump down a couple of entries. The movie is a hilarious homage to the "old dark house" genre that was popular back in the 1930s, although you really don't need to have seen any of those to enjoy the silliness. True to the original material, the plot was ridiculously contrived and contained all the elements frequently seen in the movies of that type. The performances were truly amazing, genuine comic gems for the most part, even when they were breaking away from standard conventions of the genre. Mr. Blamire's script was excellent, the moody cinematography and musical score were perfect. This film will be screening at various film festivals around the country, so if it comes to your area and you like comedy, please don't miss this! It's so refreshing these days to see a comedy that relies on writing and performance instead of vulgarity. I'm a little surprised more conservative folks haven't latched onto Mr. Blamire's films as they generally contain no sex, graphic violence or bad language, and yet they are hugely entertaining.

As we were entering the theatre, the usher handed us little round pins that said "Dark and Stormy Night / Bantam Street / You Will Be Next." That last phrase was used for a hilarious bit in the movie, which must be seen to be fully appreciated. We were also handed a flyer of the Bantam Street merchandise http://www.cafepress.com/bantamstreet After the movie ended and before the Q & A with the cast and crew began, they had a mini-raffle, of sorts. It seems they had put the letters B - A - N - T - A & M on the backs of six of the pins, and those lucky recipients would win some of the Bantam Street swag. Well, two of the winners never came up to claim their prizes. But Lorelei was one of the fortunate ones who had an "A" on the back of her pin, and she won a really cool T-shirt http://www.cafepress.com/larryblamire.362329447 Oooh. I want one in my size.

Three with Tabitha


On Wednesday afternoon I had a shoot with the singularly-named model Tabitha http://tabithasfetishworld.com/ She was referred to me by my ol' buddy Andre the Toon Man http://www.damseltheater.com/andre/index.html
http://aptoons48.deviantart.com/ http://www.images4sale.com/store/22566 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AndresToonDamsels/ (Thanks, Andre!) I'd also seen some of her work with Roy Hobbes of http://thehiddenagenda.com/ among others, and I was happy I got the chance to shoot her for http://americandamsels.com/


The lovely Alexis Taylor http://bondagetokens.com/query.asp?SiteName=Alexis-Taylor was assisting me that day, which allowed me to get some interactive sets with Tabitha. We started out with a stills-only scenario. The East coast cutie wore a white printed sundress, pantyhose and strappy mules. She was confronted in her home by a ski-masked bad guy who threatened her with a shiny stilleto. Our damsel's hands were forcibly tied behind her back with twisted cotton rope and she was silenced with a stuffed cleave gag, then more rope was bound around her ankles, knees and upper body. The intruder then made a ransom call, and when that business was finished he indulged in a little fun and exposed Tabitha's wonderful natural breasts.

The next set was also only stills. Tabitha played a spy (of sorts) sneaking around in sheer black lingerie, black thigh-high stockings and heels. She hid a valuable letter inside the piano, but before she could make a discreet getaway, she was confronted by a gun-wielding villain in a hood. The gunman tied our scantily-clad heroine with tan nylon rope, and cruelly bound her elbows tightly together to force Tabitha to reveal the location of the coveted document. She tried her best to resist, but ultimately she surrendered to make him stop the torment. The sexy blonde was then cleave-gagged with a black cloth, securely chair-tied with a lot of rope and her filmy lingerie pulled aside to reveal her breasts. The evil man then left Tabitha alone to be discovered.

Our final segment for the day was a video story. It was a sort of self-bondage fantasy. Tabitha comes home and finds a note from her boyfriend instructing her to put on something sexy and tie herself up. Tabitha complies and dresses up in sheer light-blue lingerie, tan thigh-high stockings and white high-heels. She gags herself with white duct tape, lights some candles and then uses a few pairs of handcuffs and leg-irons to attach herself in a spreadeagle to the bed... but things don't quite go like she thinks they will... or do they?
