Over the past couple of weeks, I was honoured with my first fake Twitter profile, @TheRealEsinem, which was posting moronic and egotistically antagonistic Tweets. The profile photo was a crop of one stolen from my Facebook profile. I thought it was only politicians and celebrities who were thus recognised with plagiarism and fake profiles; does …
I recently worked on a music video, with Laura Cylon as my model, for ‘Devotion’, a track on Tullia Benedicta’s new album ‘Anteros’. Thanks to Filippo Maria’s camera-work and direction, with Giorgio Gremigni’s editing, it looks stunning. This is what Tullia has to say about the inspiration for the shoot: “I’ve always been extremely intrigued …
I don’t know if this affected last Friday’s rope orders that were dropped off earlier on the day of the robbery at my local sub-post office. It’s a bit vague what happened, or indeed who got shot, but at least nobody died. The post office has been closed ever since with no news of when it might …
I’m reposting this on behalf of my re-sellers, Jakara-Rope: Blog link: http://jakara-rope.co.uk/blogs/news/64091843-warnin… They say that imitation is a form of flattery, but we are far from flattered. In fact, we are utterly outraged. A year ago, we discovered that a certain unscrupulous company was claiming to sell our products on Amazon. After many months arguing …
I once believed the BDSM community to be an environment made safe by consent, respect and self-regulation but in light of experience that view seems to be naive or, at least, optimistic. The more people I speak to, the more I realise it is a hot-bed of abuse and consent violations. I suppose one shouldn’t …
As more and more people are doing shibari publicly, there has been an inevitable increase in competition to be the cool kid on the block. Shibari is has firmly become the ‘in thing’ in the BDSM world to be seen to be doing and rightly so as it combines beauty, physical ability, SM, connection, theatre…you name …
I just had the following in my inbox telling me that some customers might have had their card declined in the past 24 hours in my on-line store, ESINEM-Rope. Anyway, the good news is that all is well now:
You’ll recall that in ‘‘Kiss Me Slander’: Jimi Tatu and the two Osadas’, ‘The Eikechi Legacy: Osada Steve & Kazumi Osada‘ and ‘The Eikichi legacy: More on Dr D Vice becoming Osada Steve‘, I produced evidence to counter slanderous claims by Jimi Tatu that Osada Steve has “stolen” the Osada name. In those articles, I quoted …

We have just uploaded the second part in the ‘Tying techniques’ series and will shortly be shooting the concluding tutorial. We were prompted to make this series by the hugely positive feedback received at live classes. Whilst we have aimed this series at beginners since we now start by teaching technique rather than ‘paint by numbers’ tying, …
