    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hi Everyone. I had a couple of thoughts on this thread that I wanted to pass along. I enjoy mummy bags (sleep sacks and other various names) be it spandex, latex or leather so the basic theme pushes some buttons for me. I like the idea of the fabric settling down over the model and then seeming to encase her. As far as how you deal with being able to see the model under the fabric or encased in a mummy bag there are actually a couple of options depending on how much you want to spend and how “kinky” you want the set / video to appear.

    Probably the most transparent type of bag you could get would come from a website called http://www.bodyhose.com They sell tubes made of hosiery material in a couple of different colors. I have never seen one personally so I’m not exactly sure how they close the ends but I think they make them to fit both one or two people getting inside. It doesn’t seem like they are particularly restrictive and I don’t know how well they would hold up before getting runs but they would convey the encasement idea and still allow you to see the model.

    Another alternative is spandex and there are several places in the United States as well as Europe that sell different versions of mummy bags both with and without hoods. There is generally a decent range of colors available and some of the lighter colors (white, yellow, nude) would allow for a fair amount of transparency. Lighting the bag from behind would give you a nice silhouette effect.

    The other alternative gets a bit pricy and might be a bit kinkier than normal for the site but that would be a latex mummy bag. There are several vendors in England that offer these in fairly thin semi-transparent colors so you would still be able to see the model. Of course you cannot breathe through latex so any hood would have to have at least nose openings or a breathing tube which might be a bit much. Of course latex is easily damaged so hard to say how many uses you would get out of it.

    Those are the three alternatives that come to mind initially. If I recall anything else I’ll pass it along.

    Cheers and all the best to everyone at RE.

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hello to all the RE community.

    Just had to throw out a quick comment on the previews of Temptress Kate getting back in front of the RE camera’s once again which was too long overdue. Saw the photos on Kate’s twitter home page first and then saw them here on the RE forum. Kate you are looking as lovely as ever, if I might be permitted to say that first of all, and my congratulations to you, Sheep, Hywel, Ariel and anyone else involved in the shoot. At the moment I would have to say that my favorite of the six previews would be the first of the two shoots of Kate in her corset. The thought of having a collared and tethered Temptress at ones own RE mansion is enough to cause most every circuit in the imagination to overload and melt down.

    Looked like a fun shoot. The previews look great and it will be tough waiting for the full sets. Well done everyone and thanks.

    Cheers,

    Greetings from New Jersey and a belated Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to the entire RE community.

    It’s been an interesting couple of months around here recently, to say the least, in terms of dealing with the aftermath of the hurricane that went through this area back at the end of October. But it’s a new year and the promise of what that will bring from RE is always something to look forward to so I wanted to express my take on a couple of the suggestions offered on this thread.

    I would also like to see a wider variety of restraints used both in the photo sets as well as the videos. As much as I love the metal and rope I would love to see the leather cuffs used in earlier works make a return along with things like silk scarves, vet wrap, arm binders, mummy wraps (wrapped in a sheet, cling film or tape), nets and perhaps the odd straitjacket. I know some of that strays a bit from the roots of RE but most have been shown before from time to time. And as far as the videos goes we fairly frequently see rope ties being applied but rarely, in my opinion, do we see the collars, handcuffs, yokes and such being locked or get to hear the door of the cage clanking shut and the click of the padlock (Thinking along the lines of “Shackled and Sold” or “Slave Kennel”). Of course I realize if it is just Hywel and a model then doing a video that shows restraints being applied can get a bit tricky to film as you have to use a fixed camera. Personally I’d love to see a video of a model dressing in a long Chinese dress, locking herself in S/M collar and cuffs (gag optional) and then locking the wrist and ankle cuffs together and finally locking herself in a cage for her lover to return and find her.

    In terms of attire I would also welcome seeing the pink PVC catsuit again from time to time. I’d also cast a vote in favor or the red spandex one (though that might have been Jasmine Sinclair’s own catsuit), along with return of some of the medieval gowns and Chinese dresses that helped fix my strong attraction for the site. Pretty most anything silk, satin, leather, spandex, velvet or latex almost always adds a little something for me. Which is not to say I’ve taken issue with the attire shown on the site over the past months and years. About the only exception to that for me is lingerie styles from the 1930’s to early 1960’s. Just a look I don’t care for but others like it so no reason not to show it from time to time.

    Now I know I’m probably in the minority in terms of members of the site, and I know this differs from Hywel, but I don’t have an issue with seeing a lady’s shoes or boots stay on for the entire photo set or video. I’m not one to say they should be the first things to come off and close ups of soles of feet don’t hold much interest for me. But it’s a classic case of “to each their own” and RE has always tried to show a wide variety of things which I’m in favor of. Of course that’s all within the general boundaries of Hywel’s makeup since it was his preferences that got things up and running. Similarly glasses on a bound model do nothing for me, truth be told I can’t stand them, but that’s fine as I know they push other viewer’s buttons and other sets / videos will push mine down the road.

    On the whole I agree with many of the suggestions from CD, Sablesword and Andrew & Mikki. I’ll also be particularly interested in seeing the lovely Temptress Kate back in some restraints. It was some of Kate’s and Jasmine Sinclair’s early sets that initially got me interested in the site and the “Bondage is Fun” set has long been in my top five. Actually I’m kind of torn between what kind of emotion I like to see. Part of me would like to see a very playful video (preferably but photo set works as well) along the lines of “Bondage is Fun” where Kate tries to tries to melt the heart of the viewer (which could probably be worked into a tickling session in the stocks). However, part of me would also like to see an “ice queen” personality who initially gives off the emotions to try freeze the viewer in their tracks but eventually gets turned on by her restraints and gives in to work them for her own devices.

    One other thing I would love to see are some links on the site to the various equipment used on the site (photographic as well as restraints) and also some of the attire (silk/satin ball gowns, medieval gowns, Chinese dresses, etc.) in case some of the members want to reproduce them in their own environment? I think this was started at one point but it seems to have gone away over time.

    That’s about it for the time being. I know good things are in the works and it will be interesting to see what is coming over the horizon in the RE world. As always, thanks to all on the RE team and my best to all the team and the wider RE community.

    Cheers,

    Jeff

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hi Hywel and all the RE Crew.

    I looked at the photos over on your blog and at normal resolution, on my monitor at least, I was very hard pressed to see much of a difference between the top photo and the one just below it. If I go to 200% on the image size then I can see the beginnings of some slight blurring on the lower of the two matching photos. Personally I have only downloaded maybe five sets in the large file size format. It’s a little pointless to use the large format ones on a 17” monitor and I’m not planning on hooking the PC up to the big screen TV any time soon.

    I would be fine with doing what you are doing now on the main RE site. Use the video lights for the video with frame grabs and use the photo lights for the photos. Honestly I would also be fine with using the video light for some stills here and there to accompany the frame grabs when you put a video up on the new sites. Maybe there is more distinction on an HD monitor but I can’t tell the difference with what I have currently.

    I also tend to echo Lurker’s comments about have the ladies on the Nude in Metal site doing their chores with the hands restrained in front of them the bulk of the time. There have been a couple of sets and a video or two on the RE main site that have shown some of the ladies trying to set a table or wash dishes with their wrists behind their back. Perhaps from time to time as punishment for failing another task or as a special challenge to earn the favor of the master or mistress it works. I just don’t feel it works very well as far as going about day to day chores goes.

    Cheers,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to take a minute or two to comment on a couple of personal favorites shown in the September preview post. As always seems to be the case, the RE team has put together a wonderful cross section of beautiful ladies, attire, restraints, locations and scenarios for the membership.

    Since I have a passion for cages it’s great to see a couple of sets using cages as they’ve been missing a little of late.

    Always nice to see sets with Aimee and Amy Allen as well along with the “Bondage Workout” routine with Ariel, Fi and Sophia.

    The photo of Ariel in the silver gown is wonderful.

    And as Sabrina, despite being retired, has long been one of my favorite models on the site it’s nice to see what looks to be an unpublished set coming around.

    Thanks to all at RE both behind the scenes and on camera for the continued efforts in bringing our fantasies to light. Great job.

    Cheers,

    Jeff

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hello and I hope everyone is doing well. It’s been an absolutely crazy couple of months. Just never seem to have the time do get to some of the things I would like to be able to do (like spending some time on the forum). Always seem to trying to get caught up on things that have to get done. Such is life at times……

    But I obviously couldn’t let this situation pass without again wishing Ariel and Hywel the best for their wedding day and a long and happy married life together. I think we can all understand if we don’t see any twitter or forum posts for a time. You certainly deserve the time alone together. I hope all goes well and you can really kick back and enjoy the wedding day. It would be great if you can post a couple of photos from the event as time permits.

    Perhaps down the line RE could do a couple of fantasy wedding shoots or videos. One of Ariel’s ultimate fantasy B&D wedding ceremony and the other of Hywel’s. Just a thought but could prove interesting.

    Anyway, enjoy the day, enjoy the honeymoon and enjoy your lives together.

    Cheers and all the best,

    Jeff

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well. I just rarely seem to have the time to post to the forum as much as I might like these days but had to make the time for this one. First it’s great to see CD back on the forum again. I didn’t get a chance to post that after your recent posts and congratulations on the little one. I most fully agree with CD in that this “request” has to be brought to life on RE. Might I suggest possibly doing it as a tutorial video? It could show how to do such a tie as well as the freedom / limitation of movement the position allows. Then the last few minutes or an “out take” section can encompass the requested chocolate. Any thoughts Hywel, Kate, Ariel?

    Cheers and all the best,

    Greetings From New Jersey,

    I’ll certainly try to make the chat. As luck would have it I have a doctor’s appointment about 90 minutes prior to the start of the chat so I was planning on working from home at least for the afternoon (USA east coast) that day.

    Also had to comment on today’s “Unwilling Tree Hugger” photo set. It’s always great to see Temptress Kate in front of the camera and particularly in those now rare occasions where she is the lovely maiden in restraints. Good as she is at applying them as well. The “Bondage is Fun” set has long been in my top five sets from RE.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Cheers,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    While I’m not a big fan of “Social Media” it can serve a useful purpose and this is one of those times. Please allow me to also add my congratulations on the wonderful news of Ariel and Hywel’s engagement. I wish you both a long life of peace, love and joy in each other’s company.

    Of course this news kind of fires the thoughts of what the wedding ceremony could be like if taken from an RE point of view. A video of the bride’s maids coming down the aisle bound, gagged and chained together followed by the bride also in bondage would certainly be interesting. Then, of course, you could change the classic line to “I now pronounce you man and wife. You may gag the bride.”

    Obviously kidding there. But in all seriousness I’m sure all the RE community thinks this is great news and wishes you all the best.

    Cheers and Happy New Year,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well. This is really a two part post. The first is a couple of quick comments on the January previews. As always it looks to be another month full of a wonderful combination of new sets and videos intermixed with a number of old favorites with the noted RE mix of locations, positions, restraints and attire. There is certainly something, if not a lot, for everyone. Speaking just for myself I generally tend to love the outdoor sets and videos as there are often some stunning backdrop images as part of the whole piece. Of course, seeing a nice summer set in the dead of winter is not too hard to take but a walk in the snow in chains isn’t a bad image either. I know I’ll also be looking forward to the new sets with Ariel in the stocks and Sammie handcuffed to the post along with a number of favorites from the archives and a number of new sets. Looks like 2012 will be off to a great start at RE.

    Which brings me to the second part of this post. As we close 2011 I like to offer holiday greetings to all of the extended RE family. To Hywel, Ariel, Kate, Steve and Merlin you should take pride in your efforts over the course of 2011 from all the work on the main site to the several wonderful videos released on the Elegance Studios site. Well done all the way around and greatly appreciated I’m sure by a number of fans besides myself. Well done also to the other contributors to the site for your efforts as well. And I would certainly be greatly remiss if I were not to offer a large “Thank You” to all the lovely ladies that have been willing to grace the pages of RE over 2011 and throughout the history of the site. Thank you for firing our collective imaginations and bringing our fantasies to life.

    Peace, Joy and good health to one and all.

    Cheers,

    in reply to: End of the line for WMV #16579

    gotu72
    Member

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well. Just my two cents on the pending drop of the WMV video format. I typically tend to download the WMV format on most videos rather than the MP4. I started doing that because I used to have a Windows XP based system and the windows media player at that time could not handle the MP4 format. You had to go get the Quicktime viewer from Apple for that. I changed over to a Windows 7 system in July (because the mother board on the old system let go) and the current version of the windows media player can now handle the MP4 format and that’s what I’ve downloaded all three Elegance Studios bondage videos in. I’ll start downloading the regular RE videos in the new format. Only reason I have not is just habit.

    The only potential problem I have seen with the newer video formats is that sometimes a newer HD video will look a bit more choppy on my monitor than the same video in an older format will look. It’s not a consistent problem and I suspect it has to do with the fact that I am using the flat screen from my old system which is not a HD or higher resolution monitor. Is it not a big deal? No not really and I have no idea what percentage of the RE viewers might be in the same situation. Technology keeps improving. Do what you need to do Hywel. Eventually I’ll go get a newer monitor for the PC.

    Cheers and all the best,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hi Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I haven’t posted for a time now due to a combination of circumstances. One of the biggest hassles was the main processor board on my old computer let go a couple of weeks ago so I’m still in the process of transferring some things to the new system. You have to love the fact that Microsoft doesn’t think to allow for its latest version of windows software to accept data from their predecessors in the standard format of the predecessor program. My internet and land line phone were down for 6 days due to road construction on the area and now New Jersey is expecting a hurricane by later this evening. And so it goes…….

    Anyway, I thought I would drop a quick post about the September previews. It looks like the coming month will be another typical month of RE classic bondage material with a nice cross section that should appeal to most everyone. To pick out just a couple of images that I’ll be particularly looking forward to will be the new sets with Ariel in the blue period gown and the one with Tanya in the black see through blouse have already hit on a couple of my preferences. As far as some of the archive sets go, well there is the set with Zoe handcuffed and leg ironed outside on a deck and the set with Ariel in the blue satin dress and the metal yoke.

    I’ll also be looking forward to the two new bondage videos from Elegance Studios when the post production is done. Both look they will be ones I add to my collection. I’ll also be looking forward to RE doing some new cage and Cheongsam videos and photo sets as shooting schedules permit.

    All the best to everyone at RE and Cheers,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hi Everyone. I hope everyone is doing well.

    I just wanted to make a quick post on several of the coming sets and videos mentioned in this thread as well as on the June Podcast. I’ve seen the trailer for the slave auction video. This looks like it will become an instant classic and I’ll be looking forward to seeing the full piece when the editing is finished. I loved that you were able to work in the idea of the ladies being chained together and lead through the night to their new fate. It is a wonderful and powerful image.

    I think the bondage party video as a lot of potential as there are many possible paths it can take. It should be a fun video. The same thing applies for the haunted mansion video. Again there are a lot of different ways you can take it and it will be fun to see if the sprits are evil or playful or something in between.

    The finishing school is another classic theme for bondage work so I sure the RE team will do a great job bringing that one to life as well.

    Cheers,

    Jeff

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well and glad to see Ariel’s made it back to the UK given the foul weather we had during her visit to my side of the Atlantic. I purchased the first Elegance Studios bondage film “Acquiesce” with Sammie B, Katy Cee and Sophia Smith and I thought it was very well done on the whole. I particularly liked the ending where Sammie and Katy were talking and the air of mystery as to how long Sammie was going to be there and who was behind her “kidnapping” given that Katy’s character seemed to be responsible for her situation. The only thing I thought was perhaps missing was a bit of the back story has to how / why the ladies were in the circumstances they found themselves in but that’s just a matter of personal preference. So given the discussion on ideas for an expanded Honest Omar’s slave auction I thought I put out some of my feelings and preferences. I had already sent Hywel an email in the beginning of the year with some details on a continuation of the “Shackled and Sold” video that covered the auction phase after Sabrina was picked up by the people coming for her. I also included a possible alternate lead character since I know Sabrina has retired from modeling. I might dig up that email and post it here but it might take me a little time to find it in the sent folders. In any event that theme was geared more towards some of the “Shanghai slave auction” videos and sets on the site rather than the Honest Omar sets.
    I love the idea of the line of naked and chained together slave girls being lead through a moonlit field towards the auction house. Perhaps one of Omar’s assistants could be carrying a flaming torch that the ladies pass near so we get a little clearer view of them and their bondage if the moon light isn’t strong enough for the camera. I think you could kind of combine a couple of the suggestions here with having the ladies some how tied together the night before the auction and show some fast dream sequences of one going to a very wealthy gentleman, perhaps one going to the cheap brothel, perhaps one going to a mistress just to spice things up a bit and so forth.
    I’m not sure I would want to see the models in dresses or blouses and skirts and have them strip while on the block. It’s a slave auction after all even if an “Elegance” one. I would tend to lean towards the idea of the filmy covering pulled away to reveal the lady if there was to be an air of mystery to enhance interest from the buyers. I don’t really have any strong feelings one way or the other about the ladies reciting their own statistics. I do like the idea of a bit of “comic relief” of having Ariel exaggerating “facts” about the lady from time to time. I also like the idea of two of the ladies either touting their own slave credentials over the others or take the reverse and have them go through why the buyer should pick the other lady rather than herself.
    Putting myself in the role of potential buyer, I’m think I would be a bit hesitant to want to see too much spanking, cropping or nipple clamps used during the auction as I think I would want to see her body at its most pristine rather than marked up. Again, just my feelings, everyone has their own.
    You could even wrap things up with a bit of a surprise conclusion by someone offering an extravagant bid after the auction has closed. Omar says “The auction is over honored sir, might I ask who you are bidding on?” The buyer responds “Her” and the camera cuts to Ariel and we see her expression quickly change from pleased auctioneer to potentially sold slave girl…… Just a thought.

    Cheers to all,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well.

    First things first, to the matter of the April previews. Looks like another month of new and old favorites done to the typical high standards we’ve come to know and love from RE. Several of the outdoor sets look particularly stunning (love Sammie in the red satin gown). Not to mention a couple of my personal favorites restraints, the square tube metal yoke, and the globe cuffs, in this case paired with a very nice Chinese dress. Of course no month at RE would be complete without the wonderful compliment of beautiful and talented ladies in front of the camera and some very talented people behind the camera.

    And this leads in to the other main point of this post. Allow me to offer my congratulations and compliments particularly to Hywel of course for getting it started and for being the boffin behind it all. Thanks also go out to Kate, Ariel, Steve and Merlin for their stunning efforts behind the camera and the editing (and to all the others that have contributed their photographic / video talents). Also, obviously, the site would not be what it has grown into without the efforts of a rather large number of very beautiful and talented ladies that have the courage to step in front of the camera, get tied up and gagged, and help bring so many peoples fantasies to life. And a special little side note of thanks to the couple of female site members who have also decided to live out their fantasies and allowed themselves to get tied up and photographed for all of us to see and smile about. Thank you, well done one and all and without a moment’s hesitation……. and here’s to the next ten years and beyond. I know it will be glorious.

    Cheers and all the best,

    Not exactly thrilled to hear that the issues have not been solved yet but very pleased to hear that at least things have improved to a point where both of you can get back to a more or less normal routine and you can enjoy yourself while modeling again. Sure hope they will be able to properly correct things permanently for you in the near future.

    I’ll also be looking forward seeing a couple of tutorial videos. I’ve enjoyed the previous ones and have gotten some solid pointers out of both the tutorials that Hywel has done as well as the behind the scenes rigging videos that have featured Chata doing the rigging.

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hi Everyone. As I have often said on this forum, including several of the other year end topic responses, the simple answer to a question on what styles I like is that I like a mixture of styles and components. As I’ve previously said I prefer videos where the lady is clearly a willing partner of the “game” and is either just enjoying what’s happening or she’s playing it to the hilt as an active participant. But I also enjoy the progressive story lines leading to a climax and I can handle the harder edge stuff in moderation. However, it’s not my first choice and not a path I would like to see RE take as part of the regular updates. Separate site or a subsite would be fine if there is interest to warrant it. Just not my thing. I also like to see some humor or farce from time to time as I explained on the photo styles thread. I do enjoy the multipart videos such as the “Bondage Romance” series as well as the “Bondage Driving Test” series. I also particularly like both photo sets and videos where there is more than one model in bondage. Of course from a purely practical standpoint, having three, four or more models would be cost prohibitive on an on going basis but is great to see from time to time. I also like self bondage videos as I have said before and I am a big fan of your outdoor videos.

    I do like seeing the lady’s reactions as the bondage is being applied rather than just a steady a diet of seeing her “struggle” for 5 minutes after she’s tied and gagged. To be sure that’s fine as a part of the overall mix, but I like seeing / hearing how she reacts when she hears the metal collar getting locked around her neck, or when her wrists and ankles are drawn together in a hogtie, when the gag is inserted into her mouth and then later when the drool starts to get past the gag despite her efforts and yes I can enjoy the nipple clamps under the right circumstance from time to time.

    I tend to find that videos of just watching an already bound and gagged model “umphing” through her gag and just tugging at her wrists or ankles for several minutes is alright but can get stale quickly if there is only one basic camera angle. Those videos work much better when the camera angels get changed, when it goes close on her face, her wrists, crotch rope and ankles and the like. If part of the scenario is that she doesn’t want to be in her bondage then it is much more enjoyable for me to see her rolling around and fighting her bondage for all she’s worth. Maybe she gets out and maybe she doesn’t. That’s part of the fun for me.

    I would say that I like the videos a little more than the photo sets. Would I love to see more videos? Yes. However, part of the reason I like the videos so much is because of how good they are and if the site tries to vastly increase the number of videos than there is a reasonable chance that the quality will decline and that I would not like to see. So yes while I would love to see more videos, I have little issue with the current mix of photos and videos on the site because I know that the vast majority will be ones that I’ll like looking at and enjoying for years to come.

    Some suggestions for video topics are some ones that have come from both the forum as well as the chats: formal bondage dinner party, bondage bridal party, bondage Olympics and slave auction. I have scenarios for both a slave auction follow up to the “Shackled and Sold” video and a cage self-bondage video. I’ll flesh them out and email them shortly.

    Happy Holidays to everyone on the forum and particularly to all the wonderful people involved in front of and behind the camera at RE. A great year and many thanks.

    Cheers,

That can either be something planned to be funny from the start or a case of something that just goes completely wrong and everyone starts laughing about it. That’s a little harder to show in photos than in video of course. Two of the videos that I would put in this category would be “Gymkhna” and the “The British National Bondage Trampoline Championships.” But for photos you could also do a spoof on a classic horror or sci-fi movie scene and add in a lot of over acting. I’ve already gone into my preferences on restraints, attire and location on another of the year end topics so I won’t touch on that here.

    I enjoy seeing a wide mixture of positions when it comes to bondage photo sets as well as a variety of photo angles. Front, back, side, off angles, overhead shots and such all contribute to a good set. Picking a favorite position is tough because the location plays a part in what the position evolves into for me. Two of my favorite positions are a hogtie (big surprise there) and a frog tie for the legs with the arms in a box tie. For me those positions work just about everywhere with the possible exception of on a bed. Don’t get me wrong, they look great there as well, but to be honest when it comes to sets on a bed I tend to prefer positions that are a bit easier to use for more sensual purposes that a hogtie allows for. Obviously spread eagle or Eifel tower positions work well on a bed for those reasons. As far as other positions, well if the lady is comfortable with a reverse prayer or with her elbows together than hey great. If she’s clearly straining to just hold on for 5 more photos then, for me, it ceases to work. Now that’s not to say that a stress position can’t be a good set but it’s a fine line between stress and doing physical damage. Chair ties done well are nice as are post ties. I definitely like seeing the bondage being applied (rope, metal or leather restraints) and I love seeing a lady putting herself in secure bondage either for her own pleasure or as a gift for her lover. To be honest I can’t say I’m that much of a fan of the elaborate body webs that don’t actually contribute to the bondage. If the web is securing the lady to a post or locking hers arms to her torso that’s fine but if it is just so much decoration and is perhaps only an anchor point for her wrist tie then I kind of have a feeling of “What’s the point?” While this has never been a problem for RE, one of the biggest turn offs a bondage photo can have is very sloppy or completely useless bondage. There are some sites out there that when you look at their preview photos or video and the model has her writs tied in front of her with three turns of rope with no cinching, a big knot on top of the wrists and no gag and yet she can’t escape the bondage? And the producer expects people to pay for that kind of garbage? I think not…… Now if the bondage is good and the lady escapes, then that’s fine. It’s part of the “game” or you are doing it on purpose such as with the “Chanta’s School of Escapology” videos.

    If I had to site one thing that I miss from the old studio to the current home/studio location it would be the dungeon set. I do miss that as some of my favorite RE photo sets were done on that set.

    In any event I’m sure the new schedule and shooting more as one combined team will produce some wonderful sets in the months and years to come. I’ll certainly be looking forward to it.

    Cheers,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well. Thinking about a response to this question was a little problematic for me at first. The reason is that on thinking about it, I realized I don’t really have a preferred “style” of bondage that I enjoy seeing a partner or a model in. By in large I like a wide cross section of styles.

    The lady’s attire can range from every day street wear (blouses, skirts, dresses, tops, shorts, jeans, work out wear) to formal dinner attire, to period clothing (particularly medieval in my case), to business attire, to some select costumes (satin maids uniform, cheer leader or greek / roman attire), satiny Chinese Cheongsams, lingerie (modern primarily, not really a fan of 30’s and 40’s pin up style), nude (done tastefully as RE does it) as well as more fetish oriented things like latex, leather and spandex. I realize the latter is not really what RE is about but there have been some nice sets from back in the earlier days so there is precedence. I also particularly love the look of a silk/satin blouse paired with a leather skirt or pants. Temptress Kate’s “Bondage is Fun” set has long been one of my favorites for the top, leather skirt and boots but also for it’s playfulness as backed up by the story line.

    I feel much the same way as to the nature of the restraints. I like a nice mixture of things. Ropes will always be a classic staple along with handcuffs. Every bondage site uses them. RE takes it to a higher level than just about anyone else with a lot of different of type and color of ropes and a fairly wide variety of handcuffs and leg irons. Then, of course there are a number of other metal restraints including the cage and the square tubed yoke which are two of my favorites (of course we still have yet to see a model actually being put into the yoke but perhaps that might come in a future Ariel’s Video Diary). RE has used wooden restraints from time to time and something made to look like an elegant piece of furniture would definitely fit right in with the site. I’m also a fan of leather cuffs, straps, arm binders and particularly straitjackets and sleep sacks. It’s been a while since we have seen regular use of some of the leather cuffs and straps in the RE prop department but we have seen a leather arm binder once or twice. Would love to see a straitjacket or sleep sack but I understand they are not cheap and the more fetish oriented gear is not really in keeping with the site, but you did ask our opinions. I can’t say I’m that much of a fan of stockings / panty hose used for bondage or of torn cloth but I am a big fan of silk scarves being used for the bondage, for the gags as well as for covering the head. That’s about the only time I don’t mind not seeing the lady’s eyes as normally I don’t like blindfolds for photo sets or video.

    As far as locations, well the more outside for me the better. RE’s outside work is just stunning and keeps improving. I only wish you were able to get away with some of the things I see done on a couple of Dutch and German sites where they take the bondage a lot more public. Seeing a model walking through a park or down a city street while locked in a fiddle from Rigid Cuffs or wearing an SM Factory collar and handcuffs with leg irons or a ball gag or caught in an arm binder and wearing a ball gag and no one seems to be the least concerned is mind blowing. I just sit looking at the photos and particularly the videos with my jaw on the floor as there is no way you could get away with that here in the US. Would be great but it’s not happening any time soon. Of course Hywel, Sammie and the rest of the RE crew did a marvelous job with the “Bondage Romance” set of videos, including the more public stuff with Sammie in the green gown. As far as indoors goes, as with most things, I like to see a mix of locations from bed room (obviously), to living room, dinning room, cellar (or preferably dungeon), bath tub or shower and so forth.

    As far as the form of the bondage and scenario surrounding it, well I’ll save that for the responses to the photo and video style preferences.

    Cheers and Happy Holidays to everyone,

    Jeff

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hello again everyone. I’ve seen the style of dress that Bob20 was talking about and the examples of which were shown in the stills from the “Dunwich Horror” movie. Actually I think Hywel, you have something similar in the RE wardrobe already, assuming it’s still there. I’m talking about the white over dress that Fi Stevens wore in the “Lady Fiona and the Baron” set. Take the image reIMG_9832d for example which I’ll see if I can upload with this post or perhaps Hywel can include if I can’t upload it.. Seems pretty close to what Bob20 was talking about. Also, of course, the classic Chinese Cheongsam also comes close.

    Now the antebellum gown that Karada posted is simply a ludicrous style from start to finish, but I would agree that it could make for a wonderfully farcical set.

    As far as Cellines suggestion about some more cage work, I completely agree. Now I know the globe cage is now residing with Pling and Svampen but hopefully the smaller one from the prior studio is still floating around. I have a couple of scenarios in mind for sets or videos which I’ll write out some rough drafts for and either post them or send them via email. One I can suggest here and I’ll leave to the wonderful RE team to flesh out would be a follow on to the “Slave Kennel” video. I know late in the video Ariel had a line about training going on the second day. So there’s a nice built in lead in to a follow on video that could start with scenes of Ariel waking Elle up in the cage and then returning for the second night or for some minor infraction of the rules during her training. Of course if Elle is not available it could be done with most any other model with just a little bit of dialog at the start to set the stage of why the lady is where she is and what’s going on. Anyway, just a thought.

    Cheers and all the best,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Hi Everyone. Hope you are all doing well. I cannot say that I’ve seen most of the movies mentioned other than Kill Bill and that’s hardly a bondage movie. Two of the ones mentioned sound promising so perhaps I’ll consider renting them. In reality I’m just not a big movie person but that’s just me. Unfortunately for me, most of the ones originally mentioned by Ariel, as well as a couple of the others, hold no intrigue for me. It’s a matter of personal interest and preference, to be sure, but caning, flogging, hot wax and that side of “the scene” in general just holds no interest for me. I just don’t consider pain hot or sexy. To each their own. That’s one of the main reasons why I’m a member of RE rather than Kink.com or any one of a number of hard core bondage sites. Just not the way I want to treat a partner even if consensual. While I don’t mind seeing some of it from time to time, to be honest, it’s not a direction I would like to see RE go. If it were going to become a major part of the site I would vote for a separate harder site or a separate portal to the harder stuff rather than it being a major component of the daily updates. Just my two cents.

    Of course all that said, one of the movies with a bondage theme in it that I found hot, as a teenager, was “The Collector” which wasn’t exactly a “Love Bondage” film. To be sure there were some harder elements in it, particularly since the female leads dies in the end, but there were some nice bondage scenes and interaction in it, even if the actual bondage was pretty rudimentary

    Cheers and all the best,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    Happy Halloween Everyone.

    When I first saw a photo from this set in the October previews and saw the photo title I figured this would be the Halloween set. But I have to say that it was well worth the long wait. This was a great set. I have to first agree with Martes that the lighting was very well done and both it and the smoke effects gave the set an appropriately ghoulish quality so appropriate for the holiday. My compliments to Hywel and Steve for the camera work. The accompanying story fit the set perfectly as well. Ariel and Paige looked beautiful as they always do and both ladies played their roles perfectly. For me, however, the lovely Temptress Kate completely stole the set. Simply and absolutely stunning my lady.

    Well done all and Cheers,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well.

    There’s not a whole lot to say about this video other than it’s an instant classic in my opinion. It was just a complete farce and brilliant at it. Hywel did a masterful job of trying to keep everyone in line but the lovely ladies were having none of it. The rampant cheating, by all three ladies, was wonderful as was the interaction between all three along with their reactions to Hywel’s interventions. To follow along with what Kate said, I loved Ariel’s “OW” before even receiving her punishment. Perfect…..

    I didn’t find the concept too loony for the site in any way Ariel. Bondage can be and should be just complete fun or lunacy from time to time so no harm in showing that side of the “scene.” I also find the idea of performing while in bondage a hot idea, as with your “Slave Dance” videos or the one with you and Sammie trying to wash her car while in bondage. I, for one, look forward to seeing similar works down the line. Of course there is still the idea of the “World Bondage Games” idea that came from one of the early RE on-line chats….. Of course it’s getting a little too cool to do that this year.

    All the best and Cheers,

    I hope everyone is doing well,

    I agree it’s time that RE do a full bridal party photo or video set. Personally I think this one might be better as a video rather than a photo set but that’s just my opinion. You do see a reasonable amount of photos of or on bridal bondage, and RE has done their share (and the bridal rivalry set with Ariel and Sammie was great fun), but it’s very rare to see a bride and her bride’s maids in bondage together. I’m sure there have probably been some others but the only one I can remember is something that Harmony Concepts did back in probably the early to mid 1990’s about a bride and two brides maids being kidnapped before the wedding. I believe it was done as one of the numerous video tapes they sold but I do recall photos from it in one of their magazines. And just to confirm things, yes the original image that PJM posted is one from Felix Dartmouth.

    Hope you’ll take it on and I’m sure it will be a classic if you do.

    Cheers and all the best,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to drop a quick comment on the November previews. Looks like another month of great photos and videos to look forward to. It looks like we have the just the typical mixture of new material and raids on the archive vault. How boring…… Yeah, as if. Obviously kidding. Seriously, it takes a lot of effort to put together a site that just keeps the quality and quantity rolling. As always I enjoy the mix of the new stuff with older sets and videos. I’ve been a member of the site long enough now that I am starting to see a slow down in archive material that I had not seen before, except for the real early material, but it’s good to see a favorite set or video pop up again. Sometime you forget you have not looked at it for a time. I also consistently like the mix of attire, locations, restraints, scenarios and the various lovely ladies that grace the images. I particularly loved the lighting on the “Red Light District” photo with Fi Stevens.
    Well done again to everyone in front and behind the scenes.

    Best to everyone and Cheers,

    Jeff

    Oh, I almost forgot. I loved Ariel’s pod cast. The collar and handcuffs were wonderful (hope you were in legirons as well while “working”). In all seriousness, a great concept and one that I hope will become part of the standard RE monthly previews. A perfect task for the “Resident Slavegirl”, don’t you think?

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well with the obvious exception of Ariel’s ongoing problem. You’d like to think the doctors know what they are doing but a nearly three month wait before surgery seems like a very long time to wait given the risk of complications before then, but what can you do. The health care system over here is not that that great either. Here it’s the greedy unfeeling insurance companies that dictate when and what kind of care you get. But enough of that….
    I want to throw my two cents in on Ariel’s request for feedback on the stories that run with the photos sets and videos. First I would like to say that it would be nice to throw the original shooting date in with the production crew credits or at least the general time frame. Yeah I can probably find it in the Meta information but I don’t really have the time for that to be honest. I feel it makes a nice reference point to see how things have changed over the years on the site both in terms of the quality of the work but also how the rigging and photo styles might have changed along with how the model has changed if it is someone who has worked a lot with RE through the years.
    I do read the stories that go with the photos and videos. Many times I keep them in my head when I look back through a set later on and other times I’ll pitch the whole story and generate my own but that doesn’t happen all the often.
    As far as the type 1 stories go I would agree that we don’t really need to take things too far depending on the nature of the storyline. By all means explain her character and how she got there but if it is more a force fantasy setting I don’t really care to know the details beyond that point except to perhaps comment on her struggles through the night to escape before the villain (evil sultan, black prince, pirate, etc…) comes for her or, as some have suggested, comment on the off camera preparations perhaps being made for her. Of course in more light hearted stories like the lovely lady putting herself in bondage for her lover to find her and they have a hot night together then you can go into a little more detail without getting too graphic.
    Type 2 stories work well if the writer was the model so obviously Ariel if you are the model for the set or video it makes perfect sense for you to write the story in first person. I know your fantasies tend to run a bit darker than mine do and that’s fine as everyone is different but from time to time I very much enjoy the lighter side of bondage equally well. After all bondage is a form of adult play and play time is generally supposed to be fun so a happy and/or funny storyline works well from time to time. I would agree with most of the other members posting on this thread that writing a third person story for a set someone had little to do with rarely works well and does tend to be somewhat rude to the model in the set. As far as sets you are the model for I also very much enjoy the behind the scenes aspect of some of the first person stories whether the entire story is on that aspect of the shoot or if it’s a small note at the end. Of course a first person story would also work from Hywel, Kate, Steve or one of the other crew from time to time about how the set / video came together or some humorous thing that happened during it, etc. although some of this tends to run more towards type 3 stories.
    And as I’ve said before I enjoy the behinds the scenes material so type 3 works fine for me but it probably shouldn’t be in a majority of the sets. Personally a sentence or two from the model for the set might not be a bad idea in many of the sets. I often tend to separate the fantasy of a set or video from the reality of it. Yes I can enjoy the fantasy of the story but I also frequently find myself wondering what the model thought about the costume, the rigging, the location (if not in the studio) and so forth. Of course what do you then do for a set that was lost on the hard drive for a couple of years or just took a long time to get posted because of other constraints and a story was never written when the set / video was first shot? To me, if you remember some of what type of theme you were going for then simply explain that as best you can and talk about if the results met what the attempt was. If you can’t recall anything then just say so. No big deal and most will certainly understand. After all, how many photo sets and how many videos have been shot for the site and how many of those have yet to be posted? Clearly things will fall through the cracks from time to time.
    As far as the type 4 stories, hhhhhhmmmmm. I would suspect that from time to time the production team will find that no story comes easily to mind. Could be a long hectic location shoot, could have been a day with a lot of equipment problems, could be a model that wasn’t feeling well or whatever. Okay, it happens. Sometime the simple “This was a last minute or unplanned shoot so there’s no real story here. So why not just sit back and enjoy the sight of the lovely “Ms X” as she struggles against her “metal/rope/leather” restraints in a tight “fill in the blank” position. Sometimes nothing more need be said. Now if it was the type of set where the model brought a special outfit and wanted to be bound in it or wanted to try some bondage position or restraint that was new to her then that’s a fine story line for me as I enjoy cases where the model is an active part of the scenario. In that case it would be great to have a couple of lines from the model as to her thinking behind the attire, position, restraint or what have you was along with how she thought it went.
    One other thing. I can understand perhaps not wanting to spoil the fantasy of RE and the forum by leaving things like the current health issue or the break in to the blogs and such. That’s fine but the blogs are not updated as often as the forum is. Personally I’m not a big fan of things like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and the like. I just don’t have the time to check 3, 4, 5, places to find out what’s going on with one specific thing I’m interested in. But I’m old school…. I think that’s part of why the forum works so well here. Perhaps if you don’t want to post things on the Chat side of the forum like health issues, server problems / delays, or other less bondage and bondage fantasy oriented items then might I suggest adding a third category at the start of the forum. Currently the two paths are Chat and Surveys. Perhaps a third path (Site Issues, Non-Bondage Matters, Notice Board or what have you) might be a way to convey that kind of information.
    Anyway, Ariel….. I wish you all kinds of go luck moving forward with your increasing RE duties and I know you’ll do fine with them. And obviously I think I can speak for pretty much all the site members in that we wish you and Hywel all the best with the pending surgery and hope this fully corrects the issues once and for all so you can get back to feeling like yourself and (yeah I know this last is a bit selfish but it is what it is) we get to see more of you both back in front of the camera as well as behind it.

    Cheers,

    Greetings for New Jersey,

    Hello everyone.

    Ariel, I do sincerely hope you are getting past the medical issues by this point and I can only wish you and Hywel the best. Not a happy time for sure and made even worst by having some many “medical professionals” flat out get things wrong. Both very frustrating and very scary to say the least. But I would not be too confused or humiliated about Hywel being gentle and caring. The B&D part of the relationship is adult play and can certainly be missed if absent after being a frequent part of day to day life, but the careful, gentle and caring is the love part of the relationship that far outweighs any “play” aspects of things. That’s the foundation that all the rest builds upon.

    I look forward to seeing your efforts as a part of the RE production team. I know it will bring the members a lot of interest and pleasure moving forward. Of course I hope we will not see an overwhelming reduction in your time in front of the camera in bondage but obviously there will be a shift and in the long run should make your time in front of the camera even better (is that possible?). Sure there will be some bondage efforts and some photos that you’ll try to do that will be complete absolute total bloody rubbish (which sometimes can make for a very funny set or video) despite having things “all planned out” but hang in there. I’m sure the RE membership is pulling for both of you and will be following your progress over the months and years to come both in front and behind the camera.

    Take the time you need to fully heal, that’s the most important thing. We’ll wait.

    All the best and here’s to a lot of great photos and video to come.

    Cheers,

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well.

    Well it seems pretty clear that there is probably no way of keeping everyone fully satisfied on exactly how RE should move forward from here. I see a lot of passion in some of the forum responses and I can only assume there is much the same level on the email responses. That’s basically a good thing. There have been several postings dealing with the level of effort required to do a 50 photo update six days a week. I hope that has registered with most of the readers because it is draining between editing color balances, removing “red eye” if the camera doesn’t do it, possibly removing the odd element that should have not been in frame but got in anyway (like a reflection in a mirror or window), adjusting size and or resolution to balance picture quality vs. upload / download speed, adding the copyright lettering and on and on. I’ve done that for several commercial website over the years and it’s not exactly as exciting as taking the photos in the first place, despite the subject matter of the photos Hywel is editing. And as has been said the lead time in setting up lighting and doing the bondage rigging far exceeds the time spent actually taking the photos.

    My thoughts on some of the possible ways forward:

    I like the current mix of photo sets vs. videos. Personally I tend to prefer the videos a little over the photo sets because I like to see the model moving with and against her bondage, I like to hear the gag noises (though 5 – 7 minutes of just going “mmuupphh” can get old fairly quickly) and particularly in the case of metal restraints I like to hear the sound of the handcuffs closing or the padlock locking. Of course this is not to say that I like every video over every photo set.

    I’ve been a member long enough to have seen a number of the older sets where it was a single roll of film and the update was whatever number of shots worked from the roll. It might be over 30 or it might be under 20. It was what it was. I also have seen a number of the two part sets. Personally I don’t have an issue with splitting a set into two parts if there is a logical progression to the combined set or if the “plot” takes a big turn in the middle. But for a split set to work for me it is not simply a case of a series of one or two inch changes in the angle of the camera to increase the number of shots. I also can’t say I’m much of a fan of the progressions where the photo angle is much the same and the only thing changing is another button on the models blouse is unbuttoned on each shot or some part of her clothing is cut away. I find those scenarios a bit too contrived. Along similar lines, however, I think Lurker’s idea of a dual set (same position, attire and restraints but two different attitudes) is worth experimenting with a couple of times to judge feedback.

    I would not like to see the number of outdoor and location shots cut back to any great extent although I know they are expensive and can be a logistics headache. I think it is helpful for the crew and the models to work in different surroundings from time to time and it helps keep the creative juices flowing. I can’t say I would find set after set in front of the same white or black background that interesting in the long term. There are only so many positions and scenarios that can be presented that way. To me it makes it much more interesting and realistic (even if I know it is all fantasy) to have shoots done in the bedroom, the living room, the kitchen and so forth).

    As I’ve said previously I have no problem with RE going to a revised update schedule if that is what it takes to keep everyone’s efforts focused at a high level and to help them from hitting a “writer’s block” or a burnout period. It that means a little less new work I can live with it. I doubt most sites have maintained a daily update rate as long as RE has. I also have no problem with using some behind the scenes work as some of the updates. I like the behind the scenes and the “fly on the wall” material as I have previously said.

    While I certainly would not like to see a 100% price increase I would understand a minor one on an ongoing basis. There is pretty much always some level of inflation so over time the price may need to go up a bit to maintain the same level of quality and close to the same level of updates. Everything costs money or course. Sever space, camera equipment, restraints, attire, modeling fees and on and on. Small increases year to year are a lot easier to handle than one big one every five or ten years.

    Not sure if this would be a viable solution of not but I’ll throw it out for consideration. Hywel, would it be feasible to bring someone in on a part time basis to handle the “lower level” web update work to allow you to concentrate on the higher level editing as well as the shoots themselves. You would handle picking what photos to use, crop them as required and adjust color, tone, balance and so forth along with writing the storyline for the set. Then hand things off to someone else to do image sizing, change resolution as needed for the web, add in the copyright text, do the page layout and upload to the server after approval. It would seem a logical breakpoint in the workload between the more creative / quality control side and the routine stuff that has to be done on every photo and every update but takes a fair amount of your time. Time that could be better spent elsewhere (including getting some sleep or some time off). Just a thought.

    Looking forward to RE’s second decade regardless of how things may or may not change. Know it will all be good in the long run.

    Cheers and best to all,

    Jeff

    Greetings from New Jersey,

    I hope everyone is doing well today.

    I’m also a big fan of the various metal restraints Hywel has used on the site over the years. Clearly you have to have faith that the restraint will function properly each time out. As Hywel mentioned, trips to the fire station to have something cut off would never be a good thing. If Huse has corrected their design flaw then that might work. One other possible source of a five point system is http://www.steel-bondage.com which I think is where RE got it’s metal fiddle restraint if the pictures on their site are correct (“Steel Bondage in the Harem” set with Sabrina). I have never seen their products in person so I can not speak for quality but they have a five point combination set on their site that can closed either with a screw lock or a padlock (the later would seem to eliminate the design fault of the other set) plus you can specify the lengths of the various connecting chains from collar to wrists cuffs and wrist cuffs to ankle chain along with the distances between the wrist cuffs and between the ankle cuffs to you might be able to have a set built that would fit a large enough number of the models to justify the cost. Anyway just a thought.

    Best to all and Cheers,

    Jeff
