Bob Ropemarks recently had an unfortunate incident at a big show: a rope broke and his model fell. Luckily, no great harm was done but there might be some lessons to be drawn. I applaud Bob for making an account of the incident public. As Bob points out, the most likely cause was the sawing …

Some of you will have already seen the video of the performance at Legarti in Rome that I did with Nina, aka fiammi. If you haven’t here it is. Click on the image to see the video. As you’ll see, she is an amazing performance model who clearly loves rope. We will be doing a …
Written by Rida after a newaza session with me at Kinoko’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’ happening bar during the Toubaku week.
