Art, advertising or kink?

The streets of Soho (NYC edition) recently featured an unusual collaboration between fashion brand Alexander Wang and artist/domme Sabine Tautou. Designed to promote a new handbag, it featured a heavy mummification scene with a man bound to a lamppost. Yahoo news has some  background and TMZ has a  bunch of photographs. On the streets of SF during something like the Folsom Fair it’d be no big deal, but I imagine Soho commuters and shoppers might have been a touch taken aback.

Hopefully the man wasn’t enjoying it, because then it’s obviously art. Anyone passing by was getting a free cultural experience and should be grateful. On the other hand, if he was getting off on it, then that’s a kinky scene that is non consensually involving strangers. AKA a terrible thing to do. They didn’t ask to be subjected to such perversion. Of course, if he enjoyed some bits and not others, then it’s ethically more complicated. Does one cancel the other? Or is it both a cultural experience and a nonconsensual kinky scene simultaneously? Like Schrodinger’s cat, just with less cat and more duct tape.

Eric at 100

Eric Stanton was born 100 years ago as of September 30th. It seems amazing that one of the key BDSM and femdom artists of the 20th Century dates back to the roaring 20’s, but here we are. I’ve always loved his work. While clearly anchored in his era, it still remains fresh and exciting today.

I sourced the image below via this Comiclopedia article on him. It’s a fun self-portrait with a bound damsel reminiscent of John Willie’s work and a domme who clearly reflects Stanton’s own ideals and desires.

Shopping Trip

I’m taking a few days vacation in the warmth of southern California. Food, kink and shopping is the plan. Although not necessarily in that order or with that priority. I’m looking forward to playing again, as I haven’t got my ass kicked recently.

I’ll also be doing some clothes shopping and trying to resist the urge to buy more sports coats. I already have far more than the casual vibe of the West Coast demands.

Sadly for me, I doubt my shopping will be half as fun as this artwork by Strikt looks. I like the idea of her parking him by the dressing room and having assistants drape various items over him as she picks and chooses. He slowly gets buried under the garments as she bounces back and forth between options. Sort of a combined clothes rack and credit card transportation device.

You can find more of Srikt’s excellent artwork, along with the original fullsize version of this drawing, on his Bluesky feed. He’s also open to commissions.

Maid on Top

I’ve published a few maid themed posts over recent weeks. Here’s another one but with a twist. In these drawings it’s the maid in the dominant role and her employer Alex whose getting bullied in all sorts of fun ways.

The artist here Eudetenis with the works commissioned by Femboy Alex Comms. There’s actually a whole series of these works posted to their twitter feed. For example, here, here, here and here. Plus, other equally fun work by other talented artists. I’m sad it’s on Twitter, but if you can get over that, Alex’s feed is worth checking out.

 

More Dogs

Heavy bondage pet play scenes featuring automated electronic milking machines are a bit like buses. You don’t see one forever and then two show up all at once.

Yesterday’s post was a fixed in place set-up. The one I spotted today – courtesy of this Twitter post by afterdarkamanda – adds mobility and a clever looking waist mounted milker. At first I thought it was too clever to be real and might be AI, but there’s a couple of videos (other here or here) and they seem real enough. The remorseless and inescapable milker makes for a very hot set-up. One could imagine a remote control option for a domme would be a lot of fun. Perform your doggy tricks properly and she’ll maybe turn it on for a minute or two. Or maybe, that’s the way you get it turned off.

Milking the Dog

I’m a big fan of the objectification this set-up creates. The heavy and full coverage dog suit is dehumanizing – and therefore hot – in its own right. The suspension bondage reduces agency still further. The motorized milking machine will drag a specific reaction from his body whether he likes it or not. The fact he can helplessly flail those stubby limbs around but change nothing makes for a lovely finishing touch.

The creator of this scene is Mistress Hinako and she posted this along with a short video to her Twitter feed. As she says there – ‘I wake up early every morning to milk my dog’.

Window Paddling

This isn’t exactly a conventional corporal punishment shot, but it’s very sexy all the same. He’s tied against a window, so there’s an element of exhibitionism and public humiliation here. Her attractive but casual clothes and natural pose also give the impression of an ongoing dynamic rather than specific isolated scene. She’s just giving her boy his usual nightly punishment, in full view of the neighborhood.

I sourced this via the Miss Strict tumblr. I’m afraid I don’t have an original attribution for it. The reverse image search engines are so crap these days it’s almost impossible to get a useful source link from them.

Poised Pose by Pillar

This is one of those images where, as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to feature it in a post.

Madam M look as fabulous as she always does. Calm and collected. I also love her chair. That’s a very sexy piece of furniture. Finally, there’s those bound disembodied hands, with the warm organic rope and the hard industrial pillar. There’s a man hidden there somewhere, but he’s simultaneously in the foreground of the shot and also totally absent from it. Beautifully done.
