Morning Coffee

That first coffee of the day is always a pleasure. A chance to relax, catch up on the news and see how the slave you tied to the kitchen table is getting on. Really sets you up for the rest of the day.

I found this on some random tumblr. I think, given the style and setting, it’s by Charlotte Douleur. I featured another lovely shot of hers back in September and I’m guessing this is from the same series.

Updated: Thanks to a comment from the creator herself, I can confirm it as a shot from Charlotte Douleur. Although this one is from Bali, where the previous image is from a different series in Italy.

Bound and Bagged

I’m still fighting off the effects of the seasonal virus I managed to acquire as a special Christmas gift to myself. So I’ll stick to posting hot kinky eye candy to keep things ticking over here while I recover.

This is Mistress Inka with her bound and bagged slave. It’s a very sexy and sensual shot, with a lovely mix of textures. I sourced it via Twitter and you can see more shots from the same scene here and here.

Objectification Fetish

I was reading back through the interview with Troy Orleans I featured in yesterday’s post and this part stood out to me.

…I have an objectification fetish, and I don’t use the word fetish lightly. Objectifying— even just saying the word makes me feel a little tingle. It’s something that’s really thrilling for me. When I get to put someone in this heavy bondage and have them fully immobilized and anonymized, they become this shape, this physical sculpture that I’ve created now hanging in my salon—that to me is incredibly arousing, erotic, and powerful.

People often talk about the appearance of bondage but reading this made me think about all the different types of bondage aesthetic. The one most people probably think of in that context is Shibari, particularly suspension scenes. However, there’s also smooth parcel like bondage, old fashioned rope bondage, predicament bondage, medical bondage, etc. All have their own particular aesthetic. The kind Troy is referring to – heavy use of leather and metal to control and objectify someone – isn’t a common bondage look in either kink or mainstream worlds, but for me it’s by far the hottest kind.

I remember doing a session with Troy a few years ago and she had me suspended in a bodybag as shown here. When everything was rigged with many ties, locks and layers, she asked if she could cover my face. Not so much for my benefit, but for what she described as the aesthetic effect. She just wanted the scene to look right as she imagined it. I can’t handle heavy hoods but we came up with a lightweight material hood that I could live with. Immobilized anonymization was achieved and I became that physical sculpture hanging in her studio.

Here’s a lovely shot of Troy at work creating another of her pieces of art. This is from her Twitter feed.

Troy Orleans Interview

Petit Mort magazine has a lengthy and fascinating interview with Troy Orleans. As most of my readers probably know, Troy is a world class domme and rigger based in NYC. I can speak to her skills from experience – for example here and here. She’s always one of the first people I reach out to when I know I’m heading to NYC.

I’ll probably dig into the article a little more in a future post. In the meantime I’ll leave you with an image Troy shared recently on her Twitter feed. It’s a very sexy shot, although I think exactly why that is would be hard to describe to a non-kinky person. Blurred elbows and ratchet straps aren’t exactly classic pin up material, but I do love this.

More Tip of the Moon

Hanging out with friends in Vegas hasn’t left a lot of blogging time. Plus, with age comes much longer recovery times from any late nights. I now need a good few hours the following day in a quiet darkened room to get over the after effects.

I haven’t yet tried adding bondage to my recovery period, but maybe that might help? It can be comforting. Plus, endorphins are good for hangovers. Although maybe not anything as stringent as that on this young man.

Artwork is from Tip of the Moon who I first featured here back in August.

Bridge Variation

I’m not sure if this’d be a good or bad pose for my wonky lower back, but I’d  be willing to give it a shot. My yoga teacher has done a lot of bridge variations with me, but sadly none have featured genital bondage and electroshock therapy.

This was posted by the fabulous Elise Graves. Funnily enough, I remember doing a scene with her in Seattle a few years back where she grabbed my genitals and  pulled hard to ‘encourage’ me into a bridge pose. Clearly it’s a position she enjoys inflicting. I don’t remember getting quite the same back arch as @UtmostRestraint has managed here.

Teaching an Old Pony New Tricks

This striking image is unusual in a few different ways. Heavy bondage, forniphilia, objectification, breathplay and electroplay aren’t uncommon on their own, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them combined quite like this. There’s even some candles, making waxplay another possibility. The wrapped submissive figure makes for an eye catching table center piece.

The other unusual thing about this image is who it features. This is Mistress Michelle Lacy with DrPonyBatBond. If those name seem familiar, then it might be because they’ve featured here in past posts. DrPonyBatBond has commissioned a lot of great artists over the years to portray him and Mistress Lacy in pony play scenes. Past examples include this, this and this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in a non-artwork, non-pony image before.

You can see the original full size image here on Michelle Lacy’s twitter feed. Her professional site can be found here.

I’m sadly not aware of a definitive source for all artwork DrPonyBatBond commissioned in the past. That’s a shame, as there was a lot of great work there.

Bondage Fun with Mistress Miranda

My UK trip has come to an end. I’m now in NYC for a few days. I only got to session once while in UK, but it was at least a very memorable one.

Mistress Miranda is someone I’ve wanted to play with for years. I’d featured her in past posts (e.g. here and here) and was always blown away by her composition of complex bondage and equipment heavy scenes. I finally got a chance to experience that for myself earlier this month and was definitely not disappointed. We snapped a few photos of the session I can share here.

You can see the first set-up here – angle 1 and angle 2. Lots of bondage, electrical play and tease/denial. The latter was supplied via a serious kit milker. That’s a device I’ve long been curious about, so it was fun to experience it. Compared to a Venus it seemed more powerful and more adjustable. It also had electrical contacts wired in to create more complex sensations. You can that setup here and here.

The second set-up had a latex bodybag with lot of added straps as shown here. It’s not obvious from the shot, but that whole bench is suspended, giving a floating sensation as it swings. Nipple torture also got thrown into the mix, with a number of clamps tied off to a fixed point over the bench (photo here). Combining a rocking bench with tied off clamps creates some interesting and intense sensations!

Mistress Miranda initially used a Venus device in the new set-up (shown here) and then moved to an electrified sound (shown here). There was also some needles in the mix at some point, as well as an electrified buttplug. She did a fabulous job of building layers of sensation. You can see a shot of the overall set-up here. On the left side you can see one of the suspension wires holding the bench.

It was a great session and I’d love to play again next time I’m in London. Mistress Miranda has put together an amazing space for her to show-off her skills. If you get the opportunity I’d absolutely recommend reaching out to schedule time with here.

Cottagecore

I love this unusual and striking image from Charlotte Douleur. It has quite a painterly feel to it. One could also imagine it as a center spread for country life magazine. Obviously, when taking morning coffee at one’s country cottage getaway, it’s important to always bind the naked slave beneath the table with a hemp rope. It’d be a terrible faux-pas to use a man made fiber.
