Uncle M - I Like What I Like
I find that most of us that enjoy our bondage are very particular in what it is we find appealing. Some of us love the look of a pair of classy looking high heel shoes to go with our bondage. Others are in the nylon foot camp where the site of a pair of well manicured, nylon encased feet tied tightly together send a bolt of electricity though us. This is where my tent is pitched if you have not already picked up on that little detail. Still others among us prefer bare feet with a nice toe tie thrown in for good measure.
Positioning of the wrists also plays an important role in our vision of the perfect tie. Crossed or palm to palm? On that point there are bondage practitioners that claim wrists tied palm to palm are more secure than when they are tied crossed. PPPFFFFTTttttttttttttt…not the way I tie ‘em. Just ask any of the Brandi girls for the inside scoop on that little gem.
Same goes for ankles, crossed or together? Hogtie or frog-tie? Suspension perhaps. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear….what to do? On the topic of suspension, we are not quite there yet. In all seriousness suspension bondage can be very dangerous if you are not carefull. Threfore we are taking a slow methodical approach to it. Brandi and I have a bead on a suspension artist that we hope will guide us in this matter. Suspension is coming..just be patient.
In the next set of photos due to be posted soon, you will find Brandi bound with shoes and without. I have made a corporate decision on every shoot where ever possible to go with both shoes and without shoes. This of course means Brandi will be forced to endure that tremdous bondage I put her though just that much longer. *smirk* (she could hardly wipe the grin from her face)
Tell us what you would like to see. A particular costume, corset (Tea has already requested that and it shall be done) or body suits. I have my eye on a particular on line shop that sells all kinds of goodies that Brandi and I are dying to try out soon. In fact I have sent all the Brandi girls over there to check it out. Lets see what they come back with shall we.
So, lets get creative……
Ack, I may have posted this to the wrong spot. Ah well.
The Rapunzel Series.
An interesting challenge, because to be done right, the model’s hair needs to be either tightly
braided or in dreadlocks. To create the illusion that the girl is bound with her own hair, the rope
used has to be similar in color to her hair. To this end, it seems the best choice of rope would buy very thin hemp, as it can be dyed to match color of her hair, and then braided into her hair. This is likely to be easier with black hair than any other, though to be true to the source material the hair would need to be golden. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair”.
Just beyond the point where the rope is braided into the hair is going to be the first key anchor point, this ensures that the amount of pressure on the model’s scalp can be controlled. Once the anchor point has been properly tied off, with an appropriate section of slack line, then the rest of the preparations can proceed as normal.
Alternatively, one could tie all the ropes first and then braid the ropes into the hair afterwards,
but given the time it would take to get the braids right, I’d suggest doing them first. A final
option would be to simply use combs for the attachment to the scalp, but you lose some of the
artistic value.
For a harness, you’ll need twin braids coming down the neck on either side. From there, you want a
knot resting on the back of the neck, acting as the key anchor. Then the traditional cross the chest and around the back. Done right, the effect will be striking.
For a hogtie, you’ll want something similar to the harness, so you can anchor the rope without injuring the model. This is only slightly more complicated than the standard hog tie, and the
primary difference is the position of the neck knot, which can have some pressure on it, but should be rigged so that the model could in theory get slack by bending her neck, assuming she could get some purchase. Again, this is done to limit the amount of stress on the scalp.
For a suspension, the key is to ensure that the braids can hold the weight of the head, without
being overly painful. This is mostly an issue of weight distribution. There are a few tricks that
can be used to increase the amount of support the head has. Once the head is properly supported and
the line is anchored, the loops to support the rest of the body are fairly simple, and anyone
familiar with suspension bondage should have no problem with the rest. The only complication is that in order to achieve the correct effect, the rope should appear to be coming from the same source, so extra pieces need to be attached with clever knots that hide that they are joining into the main ropes.
It is possible to do a spread eagle tie down, but the tricky part in that case is how to artfully
arrange the ropes so as to create the illusion that it is all one piece, perhaps spreading upwards from the skull, splitting into two main lines leading outwards to the arms, and then down to the legs.
This should cover the basics, and provide enough clarity into the intended goal of this exercise.
