Greetings from New Jersey,

Hello and I hope everyone is doing well. Looks like one more time the RE team, both behind and in front of the camera, has put together a number of wonderful images (old and new) for us to explore. Many thanks to all who helped with August’s offerings which contain the customary and classic RE wide variety of lovely ladies, settings and props. To follow on to Lurker’s comment, I also would love to see some new medieval gown and Cheongsamsets particularly video but that’s just me. Anyway there several new sets that I’ll be looking forward to as well as the return of some old favorites.

I must say that I felt a little discomfort with regards to the “abigailprettybedtie11” image. Yes I know the model is in no danger and the crew is right off camera if there were a problem but the attachment point of the rope to her collar is clearly on the back side of her neck and that coupled with the look on her face just rubs me the worng way. Sorry. Anyway, you take the good with the bad and I know it will not spoil the rest of the month.

Good luck on the location shoots and we’ll all be looking forward to those teaser example shots from hot off the camera.

Cheers,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve had a chance to read through this RE’s second decade thread a couple of times now as well as the related one on “Website videos… what plots are permissible to film?” and the two threads cover a lot of ground. Hywel and all the others behind and in front of the RE cameras have created, at least in my eyes, a wonderful and very high class and high quality bondage community and I would have no problem if it were to continue on just doing what they have been doing. However, as high class and quality as it is, continuously doing the same thing will get routine after some period of time, members might get a little bored and the site might get a little stale. On the other hand if everyone keeps trying to continuously push the boundaries within the current format of one new photo set or video for a daily update then one could see a time when production team members either hit a creative road block or simply hit a burn out period. It happens. So perhaps the coming ten year anniversary is the perfect point to reflect, look at various possibilities and perhaps change things up a bit. Obviously still going down the road of tried and true “classic RE bondage” a good part of the time but also reaching out and experimenting with going in some other directions as part of the mix. Yeah there will no doubt be some who don’t want to see any changes and/or don’t want things to go in some specific direction but I suspect every long running creative entity (TV show, website, rock band) runs into the same problem. The site, or whatever, hits on a good formula that people like and then either things get stale or the show, band, etc. tries to go in a slightly different direction. Most fans will give the new material a chance, a small percentage never will. Little you will be able to do about it.

I think many of the ideas Hywel mentioned certainly make sense a lot of sense. By limiting the new sets/videos to say three days a week it allows the various riggers and photographers to take their time a bit more with both the original production as well as the editing without the pressure of having to make that daily deadline. Of course there will be the odd set or video that will not work for most of the membership and then you will get the obvious comments of “I waited “X” days for an update and you give us this garbage?” It’s going to happen but there is little you can do about it. Plus with ten years of back work that is a lot of material to fill remaining days during the week and still maintain some sort of daily update.

Having Ariel contribute more to the production side of RE also clearly makes sense. One it brings another female prospective into the mix along with Temptress Kate’s so that will put a different spin on some of the material. Also clearly Ariel has a number of good ideas as we have already seen with much of the RE Nights material. Now granted some of that was/is a little harder than where my general interests lie but everything in moderation as the saying goes. Also by having another potential photographer / rigger available it might allow for some more on camera tying in some of the sets or videos which is always hard to show if it is just one model and one person behind the camera. Of course not everyone likes the on camera tying but I happen to. Allowing Ariel more time to post on the forum to both share her thoughts as well as solicit input from the members also make good sense. Hopefully some of the other models will routinely contribute their thoughts and feelings about some of their shoots and sets as well. All the ideas should provide the team with a lot of useful information to keep moving forward.

I find the idea of the on-line shows to be very promising. Obviously you could get some comments and requests that are far outside the bounds of good taste as well as the limits of what RE is about and controlling all that could be a bit of a pain but the results could and should be very interesting. The on-line tutorials would also be a nice feature as well. Probably a bit hard to do for photographic or video tutorials but would work for bondage and rigging. It would also be nice if there were going to be a way to download and save the on-line shows and tutorials so members could watch them again at their leisure. The “Clips4Sale” site might be the possible path for those types of downloads, depending on the price.

I’ve always liked the Ariel’s Video Diaries and particularly the ones with an interview of a model or just having a camera rolling during the shooting of a set or video. “Fly on the Wall” point of view so to speak. I would certainly enjoy more of that in the future. As somewhat of an adjunct to this, Hywel talked about toping and tailing in reference to the thread about what was permissible for RE to shoot on video. Personally I would enjoy an interview section with the model from time to time after a video. Certainly doesn’t have to go with every video but it would be nice to hear what the lady was thinking about before, during and after a photo set or video from time to time. Such a top and tail format would not always have to be linked with a harder edge scenario either. I’d enjoy hearing what the lady was thinking about, what she enjoyed, what she didn’t enjoy and so forth if this was her first bondage modeling work, first outdoor work with the possibility of being discovered or first location work, first suspension and other similar ideas. If you don’t want to put the tail on the videos themselves you could always group a couple of tails together as a video update with just a short trailer of what update the interview was from. I particularly like to know what a lady is thinking when she sees herself in bondage either during the bondage or looking at the final photo set or video. There’s a scene in a bondage video I have where one lady is lacing another lady into a black full coverage corset and making some comments about how nice a tight corset looks. The model being laced into the corset is sitting on the edge of a bed and looking at herself in a full length mirror. Besides the black corset she is wearing black stockings and heels (sorry Hywel). Her wrists are tied to her knees, her ankles are tied with the shoes tied on as well and she is wearing a tight ball gag. Part of me wants to believe she is enjoying her mistress’s attention and the bondage and is into the character of the video and I like that thought. But I also know it’s acting and I can also easily see the bound lady thinking to herself as she looks in the mirror that she needs to pick up the dry cleaning before 5:00 today and she needs to get to the post office later as well and that thought makes me laugh.

I think Kate makes a very good point on potential changes in the way many people access the web over the coming years. For myself, I suspect I will always trail the pack and that doesn’t really bother me too much, so long as I don’t get shut out by the changes in technology. I don’t have a big flat screen TV or HD TV at home yet and I don’t really know how soon I might go to that. Frankly the price the satellite TV service adds to the monthly bill for HD service will probably keep me from going to HD TV for at least another year or two, unless the current TV rolls over and dies then who knows. Currently my PC uses a 19” diagonal flat panel monitor and there is no link to my TV for the computer. Not sure I really would want such a connection and the computer is upstairs from the main TV anyway, but such connections seems a growing trend as well as HD. While I do expect to replace the computer in a couple of months the current likely replacement is, if I remember correctly, a 21 inch diagonal flat screen and I don’t see myself going to a large flat screen for the computer anywhere soon down the line. I don’t own a lap top and not sure if I would really want one. I have a cell (sorry mobile) phone but I need to use my reading glasses to read the caller ID or text messages and I hate texting, twitter, face book, my space and similar related excuses not to deal with others directly. Granted the screen size on an iPhone or Blackberry is at least twice the size of the screen on the phone that I have now but I have a hard time envisioning myself getting the bulk of my TV and my RE over a smart phone and I don’t see a need for me to go the iPad route at the moment either. The thought of having to get prescription reading 3D glasses to watch TV on my phone doesn’t hold much appeal for me at the moment. Yes I have seen the advancements in clarity and sharpness of the pictures and particularly the videos as the resolution rates RE has used has changed over the years and that’s certainly a good thing. Not sure what Blu-Ray quality will do for me given my current or projected computer equipment or if it would look worse than current formats for those of us without the latest and greatest. Backwards compatibility is always tricky and at some point RE will have to cut the cord on older formats and technology to keep pace with where the majority of viewers are currently. I don’t have a problem with that as you can not be all things to all people either in content or transmission method.

As far as the thread of what kinds of videos are permissible to shoot for RE ….. I have enjoyed most of the videos that RE has presented over the years. It would be pretty much impossible for any site to have every photo and video be like by any one viewer. In general I am not much of a fan of some of the harder edged scenes. As I’ve mentioned on other forum posts that while I understand that many people like the scenes of floggings, canings, hot wax, nipple clamps and such and I understand that many women can find them enjoyable under the right circumstances…. they are just not my hot button bondage scenarios. I tend to stick to more of the bondage side of things and am not so much a fan of the discipline or SM side of things. Yes I get that people are into the harder stuff, male and female, and that’s fine so long as no one is forced but it’s not really why I’m a member of this site. But you can’t have everything you want every time so I’m fine with the harder stuff from time to time.

I understand what Hywel is talking about in terms of the photo sets containing a lot of “fantasy neutral” aspects to them and how the viewer is free to insert their own story as the reason behind the set. I generally do tend to read the story line trailers for the sets and videos and some become my back ground story when I look at the set or video and in others I insert my own. I’m not sure the videos need to be fantasy neutral or at least a percentage of them doesn’t have to be. To be sure it is nice to see a lovely woman in good bondage (level of clothing optional) struggling against her restraints. Sometimes that is more than enough and a 5 minute video of her moving within the limits of her restraints, perhaps trying to escape them and “mmpphhing” into a gag if present is fine. But for myself there are several other scenarios that I equally like seeing. I’m happy to view that same 5 minutes of struggling and “mmpphhing” seeing and knowing from a proceeding brief scene that she got put into this bondage consensually by her lover (male or female) which results in knowing, or at least suspecting, what will follow later without having to see it. The same basic 5 minutes of struggling would also work with a brief proceeding scene of the lady putting herself in restraints for her lover to find her. Again I have a pretty good idea of what will follow after we see the lover discover her but I don’t really need to see it. And I can also appreciate the aspect of a force scene of the type where the damsel in distress falls in love with her capture and that works for me also but it is harder to show the transition from forced captive to participating lover in a 5 minute video. What appears to be an outright abuse or rape scenario (ala the basic Kink.com set or video) is generally a turn off to me and I don’t have much interest in seeing hard core penetration. Just really doesn’t do anything for me. Personally I do enjoy a “girl/girl” video where the top does a little groping of the bottom and it perhaps ends with a “forced” orgasm via a vibrator. RE has done a little of this from time to time but I would not mind seeing more. Of course you have to have models that are comfortable with that scenario to pull it off correctly. One other type of bondage video that really turns me off are ones where you see the model or models “struggling to escape” their bondage and it’s a single turn of rope with a big knot that she / they can easily reach and untie and yet in the 5 – 7 minutes she / they are tied she / they seem to manage to do everything but the most obvious thing of untying the knot even though they can clearly reach it. RE’s bondage has NEVER been that sloppy but where I’m going more with this comment is that I also enjoy seeing a lady working to escape her bondage as a form of game she and her lover are playing (or trying to escape the evil captor). When I’m playing that form of bondage game hopefully the lady loses more than wins but I can appreciate and even cheer for her to escape from time to time. Obviously this applies more to rope bondage than hard steel cuffs, yokes and cages.

Strictly speaking for myself, there are a couple of things I’d love to see RE bring into the mix in terms of attire, restraints and general scenarios. We’ve seen some latex, spandex and leather or leather like attire from time to time but I don’t think we have seen much of it in more recent sets. I’d enjoy seeing some skirts or pants of any of those materials work their way into a few sets from time to time as they’d go good with the silk and satin blouses. I’d also love to see some more catsuits but I realize they can get pricy and you have to think about how many of the models they might fit. I’d also love to see some ankle length hobble skirts from time to time as they make an easy leg restraint and something that can easily go out in public. Personally I always like the use of Cheongsams and Medieval attire so more of both would always work for me. In terms of restraints I’d love to see a metal chastity belt or belts used as was suggested on the forum as well as a leather straitjacket or sleep sack (both personal favorites) or perhaps some of the restraints from RigidCuff. However, here again they are not cheap and RE would need to work out how cost effective they would be in terms of the number of models that they would fit. Also seeing some more of the favorite RE restraints in more of the videos would be nice like the metal yokes, the globe cuffs, the cage, Ariel’s five point chain restraint (don’t think the globe cuffs or Ariel in her five point has made a video yet). I’ve always been a big fan of the outdoor work the RE has done. Part of that is just the wonderful backdrops you can get as well as the natural lighting. But there is also the aspect of being seen and what would happen. We saw a little of that in the trip to Sweden and it might or might not have happened during part three of the “Bondage Romance” videos with Sammie B. I’ve seen several sites based in Germany and the Netherlands that have a fair amount of public bondage. Models walking along city streets, in parks and so forth collared, wearing handcuffs, even ball gagged passing by the general public. For the most part no one seems to care, or at least they don’t show it on most of the videos. It would be nice if RE could take things that public but obviously the cultures are different (certainly would be hard pressed to do that here in the US except on certain days in certain cities) but would be nice none the less. I also enjoy scenarios of the lady being in some sort of bondage as part of her day to day life. She comes home from work and puts herself in a collar and cuffs for the evening or while doing chores around her home. She’s working from home but in bondage. She and her lover have a bet that she looses and has to spend a day or a weekend in bondage. She wants to try to set a personal record of being in a straightjacket for “X” hours or strapped down to the bed with hospital restraints for a day and we look in on her from time to time. I’ve also liked a number of the videos that a couple of RE models have routinely done for another UK based site where generally one lady is tying up the other and it’s all perfectly normal and the conversation between the two covers every day subjects as well as what the ladies like about their bondages. Somewhat a case of throwing the ladies the restraints and seeing what they come up with. And a bit of tickling would not be bad either though I know some models absolutely hate it. Of course I understand that some of those topics might not be to everyone’s tastes but they are to part of mine.

As far as how to handle doing some of the “harder” aspect videos in the future and how both the models/crew as well as the viewer might respond I think you might have been on the right track previously with the RE Nights video. We kind of knew they were a bit different from the normal RE videos just by the intro. As far as dealing with the crew you could have a meeting / email session with them to explain what you are looking to do, how they would feel about it, would they want to be a part of it and get their inputs on dealing with the models and the viewers. I’m not sure what the best way to reach the majority of the models might be. It would probably be difficult to have a mass meeting or even a bunch of smaller meetings. Conference call or email would probably be the best approach to present what you might want to try to do and see how the ladies feel and how best to work things into the RE mix. Very probably some of the models will not want to be a part of that type of work but perhaps presenting it up front so that they know this is a possibility in the future would eliminate the shock factor of showing up for a shoot and freaking out. As far as getting the message across to the members and viewers that some of the videos will be containing a harder edge than the usually RE material perhaps create a subsection to the website. Currently you have the members home page that shows the daily regular and archive updates and then there are “X” number of Update and Archive pages linked to the members home page. You could add an “RE Nights” type section to this as well that would take the viewer to a text page, perhaps also with a video, explaining what the RE Nights concept is all about and that material found here goes in a somewhat different direction and tone than the regular material and might not be to everyone’s tastes but it is all being done consensually despite depicting non- consensual material. At least by having to go through that type of portal what follows should not come as a shock to anyone and they are given the chance to bail out and go back to the more comfortable RE material. Not saying it’s the best or only potential solution but it’s what initially comes to my mind.

In any event, sorry to have rambled on so long with this post. Hywel, I think it is great that RE will be turning ten next year. You have put together a great site over the years and produced a lot of wonderful material. Very well done sir. You have also had the courage to let go of the site enough to bring in others (Kate, Steve, Merlin, Ariel and others I’m sure I’m forgetting) to help with the site and that has only added to it’s charm, class and quality. Very well done all. Re has also generated its own little community and that is great as well. I look forward to what will come over the next decade. Thanks, as always, to all on the production crew and to all the lovely ladies living out our bondage fantasies for us. Your efforts are appreciated. Would love to be able to give some more back to help but being across the pond does play a bit of a limiting factor in what I can do.

Best to all, cheers and here’s to great things coming…..

Hi Everyone,

I kind of like Bob20’s idea of a Gilligan’s Island based set or video. The idea of the damsels in distress being carried around by a native tribe tied to a pole is a “B” movie classic and while there was some bondage in the original Gilligan’s Island series and the female characters did get tied to stakes by natives, I don’t think they were ever carried around. As far as viewing scenes from the original TV show, try YouTube. I did a real quick search on their site and there are a number of clips.
Not sure where you would find a tropical island location to be able to justice to the storyline. Perhaps the location in Spain you have used a couple of times might fill the need for palm trees and sand.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi All,

A very enjoyable video with Fi and Amy. I was half expecting someone to break out laughing in the middle of it which is a good thing from time to time in a bondage video. Nice clean simple hogties and then the ladies continuing on with their work almost as if this was a routine day at the office. Cool.

Now Hywel’s comment about an updated version of Ariel’s Slave Dance video and having an enthusiastic lady dancing in chains….. Well that certainly sound like a classic in the making. Hope the trailer will not be too far off.

All the best and Cheers,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hi Everyone. Hope you all are doing well. Sorry I’ve been a bit silent on the forum recently but have had some problems with the PC which was down for about a week. I also twisted a knee about a month back (my own stupid fault) which made getting to the PC when it was operational difficult for a time. To top thing off I’ve starting a new job on Monday so I have had to spend some time getting up to speed on what I will be doing. The job may limit my future participation in some of the chats but we’ll have to see how the timing works out.

Anyway, I wanted to put out a couple of comments on some of the offerings the RE team is putting out for us come June. It seems like it will be another enjoyable month at least from my point of view. A number of outdoor shots, a fair amount of silk/satin clothing, a good mix of rope and metal bondage, a wide selection of lovely ladies, and another nice mix of scenarios. From my point of view, what’s not to like on the whole?

A couple of the sets / videos that I’ll certainly be waiting for include the outdoor reverse prayer with Ariel, the two sets with Fi (the outdoor set and the black PVC catsuit), The Chinese set with Missey looks promising based on her interesting expression and there are a couple of old favorite ones with Kendra as the RE Accountant (love the combination of the silk and the metal yoke on video) and Sophia in the black satin outfit. Two I will particularly be looking for is the set with Sabrina, Ariel and Paige (hey what more needs to be said there?) and the set with Sammie kneeling before her open cage and offering the viewer the chain leash to her locked steel collar (OMG!……).

Of course that is certainly not to say I don’t appreciate the efforts of all the wonderful ladies as well as all the ladies and gentlemen behind the scenes. Well done all and many thanks once again.

Cheers and all the best,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hello everyone and I all everyone is doing well,

Well a case of better late than never but I finally had a chance over the weekend to go through all the 2010 Bondage X photo sets and try to rank them. Of course with only a 1 – 5 ranking it’s a little hard rank 16 different ladies but so be it. I do want to thank all the lovely ladies for putting themselves out there like this and I certainly appreciate all their efforts as well as the RE team behind the cameras. I’m not going to go through my whole list but I will say that I gave out three 5’s, three 4’s, six 3’s, two 2’s and two 1’s. All of the sixteen sets contained something I liked but the three that I gave the highest rankings to were ones that seem to stike personal cords with more of the photos and attitude and look of the lady than the others did. In general they seemed to be the ones where the lady seemed the most “into” her situation and enjoyed it and either played it up or played into it.

My overall favorite? Tough choice but I would have to say that I enjoyed Zarina’s set just a bit better than the other two sets I ranked as a five. But I hope we’ll be seeing all the ladies back at RE over time.

Cheers and all the best,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hi Kate,

250 miles from the RE studio! Hope that doesn’t translate into a large scale reduction of your rigging and camera work for RE in the future. That would be disappointing……..

Cheers to all,

Greetings from New Jersey,

I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed the installments of the video that have been posted so far. They have all been wonderful but the most recent one with all the outdoor scenes and particularly the low light work and the much more public nature of the scenes were just stunning. I hope we’ll see other similar efforts on down the line. A great job by all involved and especially Sammie B for taking the bondage public like that. Wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to seeing the future installments.

I have to concur with 44rodolfoc in hoping we might see some more “hidden” bondage out in public from time to time. Obviously no one wants anyone to do something that would raise the interests of the authorities but you can do some wonderful things under a poncho, cape or long coat. A light jacket with front pockets offers several possibilities as the inner ends of the pockets can be opened up such that the hands pass through them and over the waist when the jacket is on. Then the wrists can be handcuffed in front and the jacket zipped up to cover the bondage. A waist chain can also be used in that scenario. Another alternative is black handcuffs over a long sleeve black blouse or dress as the handcuffs will pretty much disappear in low light. Just a couple of random thoughts….

Cheers,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. Hi Hywel. I’m sure when I take a closer look at the sets for 2010 I’ll see more of lighter side shots that you mentioned as I know that’s what you routinely try to show. On a real fast first run through it just seemed like that was missing a little from this year’s sets as a whole but I have not had the time to look at the photos in great detail.

While I stated I’m not a fan of piercings, on the other hand I don’t think photoshopping them out them out of a photo is fair to the model because they are a part of who she is unless she was part of the decision. I would agree with you that the lady should be asked up front if you were thinking of doing that. Similar to the piercings I’m also not a big fan of a lot of tattoos but again they are a part of the lady so it would not be fair to her to photoshop all of them out either.

Obviously there is no way that any site like RE is going to be able to please everyone with every set or video produced. There have been ones in the past that are big favorites of mine but have been rated very low by those who have voted on them as well as ones that I really just did not like at all that were rated very high. It’s going to happen, no big deal. Everyone’s tastes are different and that’s what makes a site like RE so good in that the team understands there are different tastes and tries to do justice to a lot of them by offering a pretty wide cross section of styles of bondage, restraints, clothing, story lines, persona of the model during the set/video and of course a wide variety of models. There’s something pretty much for everyone’s tastes and generally a lot for most peoples tastes so you overlook the odd set/video that doesn’t push your personal buttons as the next one probably will. And while I might not really like the piercings or ink you still have to admire the lady for putting herself out there for the world to see.

Cheers to all,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hi Hywel,

I’ve just tried getting on the site in both IE and Firefox. It’s currently just past 8:30 in the evening on the US east coast. I can get on and move around the site on both but I am seeing a quirk with the log on in that once I enter my username and password it is taking about 15 to 20 seconds to switch from the site entrance page to the member’s home page. Normally this only takes a second or three. On Firefox you see a progress box in the lower right corner slowly being filled in. Once it’s fills completely it switches to the member’s home page. With IE it first gives a waiting for the page message in the lower left corner, then quickly says “done”. Nothing happens for about another 15 seconds or so and then it kicks to the member’s home page. I first saw this about two days ago. The other odd thing was that I could not seem to log on to the forum from Firefox just now. I would enter my forum username and password and it would accept it. I’d go back to the index page, select a topic and then If I clicked on “enter a new reply” it would go back and ask me for my forum username and password again. This repeated for about three cycles. I can’t say if this is new or if it is an old issue because it’s the first time I have tried to go to the forum while using Firefox as I usually us IE. I didn’t have the same issue logging on to the forum in IE tonight.

Figured I’d pass it along.

Cheers and all the best,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hi Sheep.

It can be done but is very very difficult if the top has sleeves and/or the cuffs are reasonable tight. About the only types that work well in this scenario is either a tube type top or a halter style one that ties behind the neck.

Cheers,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hope everyone is doing well. I like both Sheep’s and Hasler’s ideas. I’d also enjoy seeing Ariel do a list of RE restraints and costumes showing them in use and giving us her comments about them. Should prove very interesting.

Cheers,

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hello Everyone, I hope you all are well,

Steve, I thought I would throw in my opinions on the gag question you asked. For me a lot of what I like or don’t like to see relates to the rest of the bondage scenario. The basic single strap gags, be they ball, ring, plug or whatever work better for me when the clothing, restraints, scenario and surroundings are more in the general home, office or outdoor environment. If you and your lady are doing a little impromptu bondage fun and she is simply in a top and jeans, dress or her lingerie then, to me, a single strap gag generally seems to look better most of the time. However I don’t mind using or seeing a full harness gag from time to time in that type of scenario but it looks a little out of place if it were used the majority of the time. Now when the situation shifts to a medieval scene then a metal harness gag or scold’s bridle certainly fits and, to me, looks better than a single strap gag. Likewise if the scenario is a fetish based one where the lady is dressed in leather, latex or spandex and bound in a lot of leather, metal restraints or very intricate rope bondage, particularly if it is a dungeon setting, then the full harness gags (again ball, ring or whatever style) become much more attractive because they are in keeping with the rest of the setting. I particularly like the locking harness gags in that situation, especially seeing the lady’s expressions as the locks are clicked shut, but obviously for safety reasons, you have to exercise care with a locked gag and make sure you can remove it in just a matter of seconds.

Now one big turnoff for me is seeing a gag that is clearly the wrong size for the lady in question. If the ball is so small relative to the lady’s face that it looks like she could swallow it then it detracts from the beauty of the fantasy. Worse is the case of a gag that is far too big for the lady and she is clearly fighting to keep it in her mouth just for photo shoot. Yuk.

Just my thoughts for what they are worth.

Cheers Everyone,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

Hello and I hope everyone is doing well.

Sorry Ariel, Kate, Hywel and all the other RE fans that made it to the Red’s Realm chat. I tried to get on it a couple of times in both IE and Firefox but kept getting an error message about the site requiring Java Support. To be honest I though I had it on my PC and, to no great surprise, entering “Java Support” into the on-line help didn’t produce any helpful results and neither did playing with settings in either IE or Firefox. There was a secondary link to an IRC portal but I don’t have IRC support on my PC, at least as far as I know. In any event taking that link didn’t work either. Pity.

So sorry I was not able to join you. Wanted to but seemed to have hit a brick wall in getting onto the chat. Hope it was a good time and will look forward to a future RE chat.

All the Best and Cheers,

Jeff

Greetings from New Jersey,

I hope everyone is doing well. I have to agree with “Lurker” on this score. I find I am reluctant to rate any of the 2010 Bondage X sets already posted. Much as I might find one or more of those sets to be a four or a five on it’s own, it might not rate that kind of score when compared to the other Bondage X sets. I’d rather see all the sets posted at the same time since we are being asked to compare the sets one to the others. Sorry.

I’ll be sure to vote for all the sets but I would rather hold off till I can see all the sets side by side.

Cheers,

Jeff
