If you can help with the rigging then that’s brilliant, but I’m less sure of you domming on camera. I do think you can pull off ‘The Temporary Dom’ and ‘The Situational Dom’ but not the other types. (And a nice set of definitions by the way 🙂

So, a sub who is forced to dom as part of a story, or a sub taking revenge but then getting her comeupance, yeah, those work for you. I don’t think you could ever do the kind of domming that Chanta does, you don’t naturally have a dom side like her.

I’ve greatly enjoyed the videos that have had Chanta domming, especially the ones where she doms you Ariel, and also Donna and Jade. I love her style and it’s a great bit of female/female D/s.

Sorry to hear you needed an operation like that, glad you’re on the road to recovery.

Robert.

Well done Amelia! 😀

I think I would be hard pressed to find someone who wouldn’t agree that Amelia was the most hard working spankee in 2008. She posed for more sites with more shoots then perhaps anyone in the industry has ever done. Furthermore she tantalized us with her beauty and her ability to recieve a spanking with the best of them.

I don’t really know your spanking work as Amelia, but I believe the comments from The Spanking Spot completely, as I know how much enthusiam and hard work go into your bondage work as Ariel.

I’m going to have to check out some of the spanking sites, it is something I’m interested in even if not as much as the bondage.

Five hogtied girls together outdoors, brilliant, glad you got all of the ladies together in bondage in Sweden.

From an artistic perspective, I particularly like a couple of the two low-key sets – Ariel in the dungeon, lovely shadows, the bars against the wall and the chains against Ariel. Also like the fifth from bottom, I love the yoke and that is a stand-out picture featuring it. Great stuff.

Wikipedia defines a troll as someone who posts controversial, inflammatory… …messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response.

I think the first two sentences of curious1’s post match that definition quite well.

I did think the set was a little mixed, some stand-out shots and some weren’t quite right, but I can appreciate that in that lovely woodland setting the photography is somewhat more challenging than in the studio.

As for the ring gag, generally I quite like ring gags, although I will admit that I’m not sure if it really suits Pling, I think other styles of gag look better on her.

Those photos look even better now they’ve been edited. I’m so pleased with how well the photos turned out, I still can’t believe some of those shots came from my camera!
A brilliant day and great to learn how the magic happens. I learnt a lot about studio photography.

I hope a solution can be found for the slipping ribbons, I love the way they look and the way the light shines off them. The ribbons in the hair too is such a cute look.

I tied myself to the treebranch, Fogane, which was very interesting! Kate and Sophia had to step in to help because it was really too tricky for me in the end. Suspension-by-Committee, I do recommend it 🙂

If you had managed to get into that position without any help at all, that would have been amazing! 😉

New girl in picture 9 and 10- and new photographer too! That’s the lovely Delta, photographed by Russian photographer Alexander Lightspear.

Image 2, though, is our own Amy Allen 🙂 just with a different hairstyle!

As for Pling not looking happy, it was a damesel-in-distress storyline…

I thought pictures 9 and 10 didn’t look like your work. Ropework in 10 not your standard or type of rope and in 9, the rope around the neck isn’t something I’ve seen you do. I do like the expression in 9 though. And lovely eyes…

2 is Amy Allen… oh yes, I could have identified her by the tattoo on her tummy but I hadn’t noticed it before. Different hair does tend to fox me somewhat 😳 Sorry Amy for not spotting it was you.

I really do think I should get my ropes on you – maybe a two girl set for the future, Hywel?

Doing a “two girl set” next wasn’t my first thought, but now that it’s been brought up my two cents would be to pair Amy with a dark-haired model.

As luck would have it, the very next set posted in the members’ area after Amy’s is one of (dark haired) Kate’s.
Hmm, how about Kate restrains Amy, then gets restrained herself by Hywel 🙂

@lurker wrote:

Now that you’ve dones ‘steel and stone,’ the next set should be ‘leather and silk’ or maybe ‘rope and silk’

My vote goes for Amy bound with leather straps. 😉

You’re not the only one who can’t wait to see your suspension set Sammie 😀
Looks quite comfortable (apart from your wrists, although I presume they’re holding no more than your arms up).

I like too the picture of Temptress Kate, elegantly restrained with the reverse prayer tie.

Also standing out there is a mummification shoot, clingfilm wrapped, I don’t recall seeing one of those at RE before.

Yes, I like spanking and bondage. There’s not much I don’t like within the realm of BDSM, as long as it’s safe, sane and consensual (SSC).

My prime interest is in pleasure. I don’t really enjoy seeing bondage or CP if the model isn’t (or appears not to be) enjoying it, at least to some degree. Someone getting an endorphine rush from a spanking is a lovely thing to see. Likewise seeing someone struggling in bondage because they enjoy being bound is fantastic.

Now to further qualify my last paragraph, of course a model won’t always look like she’s enjoying it but that doesn’t mean she isn’t (to some degree, there’s _enjoying_ it and there’s *enjoying* it). Chanta domming Ariel comes to mind. To someone who didn’t know anything about them, the video might look a bit extreme, to me, I know what they’re in to, I know it’s SSC compliant and that Ariel’s “enjoying” what’s happening to her.

Knowing some background helps. I guess it’s where one could fall foul of the newest violent porn laws here in the UK. Without knowing the background, without knowing that the girl in the video who appears to be suffering really isn’t (or is, but in a good (and SSC) way!), could that video be termed to fall foul of the law?

More great sets to look forward to, especially from the Sweden and Spain trips. I like Ariel by the pool and tied to the tree. Also Kate, Kobe, Sophia and Pling enjoying the Swedish outdoors and Cowgirl Sammie in the Spanish sunshine.

The red head wearing the yellow ball gag is a striking shot and brunette below hogtied and blinded by blue rope is nicely helpless (sorry, don’t know who they are).

My favourite is the (also don’t know who she is) brunette chained on the bed with the golden curtain and light. Wow. Lovely, lovely photo.

Welcome back (to a less than sunny UK!). It looks like the weather was hot and sunny down in Spain.

Nice swimming pool, and did the house happen to have it’s own St. Andrew’s Cross? 🙂

The video stills reveal what look to be an exciting set of videos to look forward to. Certainly was a productive trip.

That’s good news Kate, be nice to see some FF stockings on the site.

Sounds like a good idea to have smaller WMV for dial-up users and ditch RM. Real Media is like the devil’s spawn!

More great sets coming our way. I must be in the mood for hogties today as the pictures that stand out in particular are Ariel hogtied on the table, Kobe hogtied in black stockings and Ashleigh hogtied wearing a large gag.

This news does come as a bit of a surprise but not a massive one. You two seems like a good match to me, you’re nice people, you deserve to be happy and it’s good that you are. You’re darn right Hywel that you’re going to be making people green. I know I’m jealous (I can only dream of finding happiness like that).

I don’t think anyone is going to stop enjoying your work Ariel. It’s probably true that a lot of folks like the thought that the models are single but of course the reality is that models are no different than any other group of people, some are, a lot aren’t. As long as you keep coming up with those inventive ideas, we’ll keeping loving seeing you do what you do so well.
