As you will have seen, Nina is tying more and more, so she is not always available to model for me and sometimes we need another model in addition to MaYa for shoots, shows etc. As you might know, some of our work is pretty high profile, e.g. Primal Scream, Tom Ford, CH4, Mert & …
Japanese shibari master Kazami Ranki will be back in London from the beginning of May for 12 days. He will be running a 5-day advanced kinbaku course for couples and offering private tuition. He will also be performing at Torture Garden on 10 and 11 May. Bookings 5-day course The cost per couple is …
Milla Reika recently sent a couple of clips of Kazami doing what he does best, being mean 🙂 The more observant amongst you might recognise the lovely Miho as his hapless victim. If you were lucky enough to have been at LFAJRB 2011, you will have seen her as the model in Otonawa’s performance. [jwplayer …
Over the last couple of years, the Japanese bondage scene has changed beyond recognition. A few years ago, there were a handful of people who were tying to any standard that would pass muster in Japan but now they are coming out of the woodwork. To a very large extent, this has been down to …
I’ll be attending EURIXE (European Rigger Exchange) at Schwelle 7, so will be in Berlin 22-29 April. This means that I will have some free time during evenings and on the last weekend for giving private lessons. Having had a wide range of teachers, rather than adhere rigidly to any one school, I draw on …
I had heard about London Dungeon Hire many times but had never been there. Recently, Nina and I were there to film a small sequence for a documentary on Captain Howdy and his Mrs, called ‘Hooked’. I have to say the approach belies what lies inside. LDH is located in a fairly typical post-war local …
As I’m expecting, 10,000m of 5mm and another 10,000m of 6m Tossa Lite any day now, plus another 15,000m of Tossa jute rope shortly thereafter. So, this is the first of several offers available to registered site members, whether Free or Full Members, to help clear a bit of room. I’ll be doing some extra …
A lot has been going on behind the scenes here recently IT-wise. Due to the growing sales at my eBay Rope Shop and Amazon store, my days have been filled increasingly with tying parcels, at the expense of tying people. Whilst it provides the ‘nawa-soup’ as Steve-san calls it, it is not what my vision …
If you have seen Bob Ropemarks, you can’t fail to have noticed his stunning model, Dutch Dame. In fact, she might easily have caused you to fail to notice Bob 🙂 She is undoubtedly very distracting and it is easy to see why she is a premier league latex, fetish and bondage model. The good news is …
Google Translate rendered the latter as “模倣はお世辞の最も誠実な形です”, which I thought I had better add in case Mr Araki happens to be looking at this. Nina and I did a shoot with Spanish photographer, Antonia Peña, and our one of our favourite models’ MaYa Homerton a few months back but now the magazine, Primera Linea, is out …
