Dear
Readers... Hey gang! Well, I'm not sure when this e-mail will get to you (Depends a bit on the timing of scheduled delivery with my newsletter manager program) but tonight I have my big site launch party and bondage model search for BeautyBound.com at Bondage a Go Go.I have the excited jitters about it. I'm launching my baby to the world and I want it to go right! Woo hoo! I'm excited. We'll take lots of photos and hope to have it on the site soon. (OK, do I have all the stuff ready? Ropes, prizes, books, framed prints. I know I'm forgetting something. I'll have to check in with the crew of Team Midori. They keep me sane!) If you get this in time, and you can make it out to this cool party it would be really great! Bring your friends, dress up, try out to be a bondage model for BeautyBound.com, play in the dungeon and dance your feet off! So, here's the bare bones info The

Adventures: Las Vegas, SF and NYC Wicked
Fun at BondCon in Las Vegas Silicon
meets Silicone. I had the surreal experience of gazing at the brilliantly desolate landscape just outside of Mojave, dotted with alien looking, twisted Joshua trees, while I chatted about how to have better phone sex with a witty Brit sex columnist from London who was interviewing me for British Cosmo magazine. We
all stayed at the Stardust hotel and casino. The 24-hour hot tubs
in simulated waterfall was cool. It was funny to have someone talk
about the main performer they referred to as "DeeDee"
(Of course they were talking about Dita, but hey, after a few strong
drinks and the heat of the hot tub I guess syllables become challenging.
* Chuckle * It was funny though.) Dita and Catherine D'Lish's shows
were cool. Old style burlesque acts. They're worth catching if they
come to your area. The BondCon organizers were totally great about making a super event happen. I taught two classes on introduction to Japanese rope bondage / Shibari. They provided ropes for all the students, courtesy of BondCon and Rainbowrope.com Speaking of rope, I got some new pre-conditioned hemp rope from JapanRope.com ) to replace some of my rope that I bought in Japan. (When I styled for Surface magazine recently, shot by Tiziano Magni, I had to cut some of my beloved rope to suit the styling over the million dollar couture fashions. It wasn't an easy cut to make, but I did it anyway!) Anyhow, I'm quite pleased with the products from Japan rope. I had a chance to sit and visit with Paul, the owner of the company. The fact that he lived in Japan and we could rap in Japanese scores big from me. Cultural understanding and sensitivity to my homeland means a great deal to me. I'm thinking about carrying some of his rope as inventory for sale in my traveling "books and kinky supply store". Yeah, I'm giving him my seal of approval! We did tons of shoots and demos. Demos were right there at the booth. Had the pleasure of binding and suspending Kumi, Seven, Cheryl Kahn, Gwendoline, and Claire Adams. (The demo with Seven is in the Members' Gallery.) Photoshoots were with Rosaleen, Claire Adams, Lydia McLane and Gwendoline. Rosaleen was my broken little doll. I whispered sweet fantasies of twisted Gothic love until she cried in her ropes. Claire Adams gorgeously endured some of the most challenging suspensions I could dish out and came out grinning from ear to ear. I made Lydia into a suspended vision of a falling angel. Then, the last night we were there, Sinnamon Love let us shoot in her suite at Mandalay Bay. That was a hoot of a shoot! First we had the "Rub A Dub Dub, Two Babes In a Tub" shoot with Gwendoline and Lydia bound in the deep bathtub together. It was a vision of curves, wicked grins and moist milky skin. I love my life! (I've posted the photos from that shoot on BeautyBound.com too.) Then
we had the "Room Service at the Hotel D'Sade" shoot. Both
women are old school burlesque dancers, so they dolled up in vintage
lingerie of delicate colors. Then Gwendoline was bound in a classic
hog tie on the room service table with a plump strawberry in her
mouth, surrounded by fixings for an afternoon tea. Lydia, in tern,
was bound in the dinner chair, fork and knife in hand, yet bound
so she could never quite fulfill her appetite whetted by the morsel
before her. Oh, don't let me forget to mention that we had a highly
qualified stocking seam straightener and wayward-fetish-girl chaperone
on location. A special thanks to Tony Mitchell of Skin Two for the
nod of approval and martini dry wit! Stay tuned for the next issue
of Skin Two for his coverage of the whole nutty weekend. HB was visiting me from the East Coast, so I played hooky a bit. Did the local tourist thing. Played. Got a bunch of my buddies together, KN, JN, Shane, HB and I and headed up to Lake Tahoe for some sunny weather snow boarding. All was well except that HB broke her wrist. We all crowded around the window of the emergency clinic to see how she was doing. It was awful how badly she was hurt, but she held up bravely. I guess I'm a bit twisted, (no?!) because I was really fascinated by the hand-bondage device they used to immobilize and partially suspend the hand. Hmmm, how do I get my paws on one of those? Home time wasn't all playing hooky, but it was all about fun, because I had an afternoon of rope art fun with Bridgett Harrington. She has a fun write up about the day in her journal on her site at http://www.ropelover.com Then I had the full afternoon of my first ever suspension rope bondage workshop. Time just flew. Next time I think I'll make it longer for even more practice time. Stay tuned for my next class on Suspension. I want to thank Loki for building the new portable, and heck of strong, suspension frame. He will be posting the specs on how to build your own on the free discussion board called Beauty Board in BeautyBound.com
The models were Mika and Hye Young. Both were lovely, delicate women that made me feel like a giant. First I put Mika into a vertical, cocooned suspension bondage. Then I bound Hye Young to a beam below the stairs in a back arch very reminiscent of Art Deco and Erte. The final art was a duel embrace suspension with both the women arching and swinging through the air, limbs locked around one another. On Saturday I was in a beautiful photo studio in the Garment District styling rope for Michele Serchuk. We've been collaborating for years, but it's always been me in front of the camera, using my own body and expressions to capture my emotional state as interpreted by Michele. This time we took our collaboration another step further. By working with wonderful models, I expressed my erotic aesthetics and fantasies through my rope and their expressions while Michele brought her own art to the experience. The results were spectacular. The first shoot was with Darenzia. We made her into the bound leather nun, complete with a giant, red rope cross across her skimpy habit. She's very wicked and very sexy. The second shoot was with Elaine, a stunning Asian woman whom I bound in a luxurious reclining pose that seemed alternately post-orgasmic or languidly dead. I bound her long, pale limbs in luscious twists and decorated her and the ropes with dying roses and faded bouquets. Sunday was my tutorial day.. I had the pleasure of teaching customized classes to several couples. With one couple we covered rope and suspension bondage, another couple learned about flogging and the last person was a woman who wanted to improve her domme personae. Teaching is a real thrill for me. It's nice to know that they'll enjoy their assignments and practice time at home! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Well now, that about wraps it up for now. I guess I'll go off to bed now. I hope
to see some of you at this week's events!
