How many storylines will we be able to submit? And how much time will we have to write up our ideas once the contest starts? Is there a length we should aim for? Is there a length that is too short or too long? Just some things I’d like to know before this starts. Thanks

It looks like Delta is a Realtor who is struggling to sell an over-valued mansion. She invited some friends over to pose for some photographs since draping pretty women over cars or other products was an old advertising technique.

The mansion has a spiral staircase that looked like the most interesting feature to pose her friends on. The three of them spend some time lounging around chatting about ideas and getting into the mood.

Delta hands her friends a Forbes magazine to use a prop to lend an air of sophistication. Delta snaps a few shots, but isn’t entirely satisfied and wants something a little spicier. So she proceeds to tie her friends up.

Juliana who is Delta’s newest friend is surprised and taken aback by this development. But Dolly has known Delta for some time and is only surprised because Delta had promised that this time she wouldn’t tie up everyone else like she usually did.

As Delta binds her friends for more real estate promo photos, Juliana wonders why her new friend would do this and what her intentions were? At the same time Dolly is thinking, “Here we go again. Why do I keep hanging around Delta when she always finds an excuse to tie her friends up when they do? You’d think I wanted her tie me up or something?”

Money! Money money money. That’s all my new roommates ever talk about. I’m tired of it. I think I’ll put a call in to Honest Omar, and then, as the saying goes, ‘money will have them.’

But how to set the trap? Hmm, this issue of Forbes actually looks interesting. I’ll try using it. All I have to do is leave it lying on the staircase as casual bait. Then I’ll go fetch the ropes and gags, and place a quick phone call.

If I might be allowed to add my own thoughts?

I thought: Delta has just been published in Forbes magazine and has invited her successful friend over to talk about her next big project and how to use the ideas in her article to improve his business. Delta’s friend says he would like to hear more about her ideas, so Delta heads upstairs to find some of her notes and folders. Meanwhile, Dolly and Juliana arrive home and decide to flirt with Delta’s friend themselves, then they find her article and decide to make fun of it, telling Delta’s friend that she stole all the ideas in it from them and then made them laughable.

Delta, hearing the commotion from upstairs, heads down and pads around behind them, listening to the lies they are telling her friend. She decides to teach them a lesson and sneaks up with the ropes, securing them to the spiral staircase and gagging them. She gloats a little over her captives, and her friend suggests a new business venture for them both in bondage photography. Delta heads off to think about it, and while Dolly and Juliana are left alone, Delta’s friend reveals his intention to take them home with him as his personal slaves as punishment for being mean to Delta (hence the helpless looks in the final few photographs).

Now I’ve read back over the others, though, it seems we’ve all had similar ideas. Midian258 is right, though… this was fun! Thanks everybody!

Hi, Hywel and other posters with excellent ideas.

I’ve had the following idea for a while, and wonder whether restrainedelegance is the place for it (if everybody else hates it, then please feel free to ignore it)… I’d like to offer it as an idea here if I may…

One model (I thought Ariel, and I’m not sure why) stars as a kidnapper who has been given a photograph of her target with a key to her house. She lets herself in and finds the girl in the photograph. The target is a foreign princess, ready to go to a formal reception in her satin ballgown. The kidnapper grabs her, ties her up, and cleave gags her with a scarf. Unfortunately, a second girl turns up, also wearing a satin ballgown, and is also in the photograph, and our kidnapper isn’t sure which one is the target, and which one is the bodyguard (or some other role that would explain why she was also in the photograph with the target girl), so the kidnapper ties her up and gags her with a scarf as well. With both girls tied and gagged and waiting for some clarification, the kidnapper phones her boss to get straight who her target actually is. Our two girls struggle to get free while the kidnapper calls her boss. Eventually, the first girl gets free and grabs the kidnapper and ties her up and gags her. Having heard the phone call, she decides to keep the second girl (the actual target) tied and gagged, and contacts the boss on the kidnapper’s phone. Kidnapper and target are left to find out what their fate will be together.

I had thought Ariel as the kidnapper, and Sophia Smith as the princess (mostly because I’d love to see her tied and scarf gagged in a long satin ballgown), but not sure about who else…

As I say, just a suggestion, and perfectly happy to collaborate on something completely different.

Thank you for the opportunity to share!

My suggested modification to Never118’s idea:

One model stars as a kidnapper who has been given a photograph of her target with a key to her house. She lets herself in and finds the girl in the photograph. The target is a foreign princess, ready to go to a formal reception in her satin ballgown. The kidnapper grabs her, straps her to a stretcher with duct tape for transport (with the victim losing her shoes in the process), and gags her (the scarf cleave gag can be kept, here). A second girl turns up, also wearing a satin ballgown, and she can’t be allowed to leave. (She might be bodyguard, sister, lady-in-waiting, whatever.) So she’s also taped down on a stretcher and gagged. The kidnapper then calls for transport, and a male character shows up (Hywel, or some other male member of the RE crew, to cut the “all girl, all the time” aspect of these shoots that just bug me.) Together, the kidnapper-model and the guy carry off the two stretcher-bound models, one at a time.

The motive might be “kidnap for ransom” or “kidnap for Honest Omar’s slave market.”

If having two models bound is too elaborate and too much trouble, the second victim can be left out: Just have the foreign princess tape-strapped to the stretcher, gagged, and rendered barefoot, and then have the guy-kidnapper show up to help the model-kidnapper carry the stretcher out.

The guy-kidnapper’s clothing should match the model-kidnapper’s. They might both be in ambulance-attendants uniforms, or they might both be in evening dress.

Hello again everybody…

I’m sort of with Midian258 on the issue of tape and stretchers, it really doesn’t do much for me (sorry)… from what I can spot in the ideas we have, though, might I offer a compromise (and again, more than happy to step away from this entirely)…?

Two bickering princesses, preparing to go to a formal reception and wearing their satin ballgowns, irritate their bodyguard one too many times with their arguing. The bodyguard, fed up of all their arguments, ties them up on chairs facing each other, gags them with scarves, and takes their shoes away so they don’t make too much noise. The princesses are left to struggle (where we may add in Midian258’s barefoot suggestion from earlier) while the bodyguard thinks about how to explain it to their employer. The Bodyguard comes up with a plan and asks a friend to come over and help spirit the two ladies away to make it look like a kidnapping, and the girls will be released later when they’ve calmed down. When the friend arrives, the girls are carried away either on their chairs (if they are tied to them) or between the bodyguard and the friend, or just by somebody.

I realise that may not satisfy everybody, and as I say, I am entirely happy to step away from this… just sharing the ideas has been a fun thing to do (thanks for the opportunity Hywel). If it would be best to abandon the idea entirely, then please do.

I hope nobody thinks I’m meddling. This has been a fun process. Thank you all.

I’m not averse to tape bondage, but a stretcher would just be too stiff and medical for my tastes.

I like long gowns (captive has been gowned and bagged), but combined with the bent knee look I have in mind it might overly obscure the legs and feet. Maybe we could have a story contest to go along with Sophia’s Blue Gown photosets. They are so lovely.

Check here to see the photo of Lee Lee Sobieski I’m waiting for Hywel to share with you along with some other thoughts and pics of mine that relate to my request here:

http://grigbertz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=92

I’d like to offer the following list of potential models:
Penny Lee (I love her princess videos)
Delta (Her pose in Replacement TV is a possible model for what I have in mind)
Honey (Such lovely feet. Will Hywel ever bring back her pink underwear photoset?)
Juliana (The reigning Sweet Gwendolyn)
Sophia (too many reasons to go into)
Aria (face and feet of an angel. Looks fantastic in harem costume)
Hanna (Check out the way her feet grope for Janey’s in the Stealing the Shopping video near the end. That’s something I want to see more of)
Holly Kiss (Her position in her Bound and Kidnapped photoset is another model for my knee bent feet touching idea. She has divine feet and can really wear a tape gag too).

On reflection, since my idea requires two ladies, there’s no good reason why one can’t be in a gown. Sorry if I sounded selfish,

Mr. Nice Guy

Maybe one lady in a gown and the other in shorts. One with her hands tied to the top of her ankles like Holly Kiss in Bound and Kidnapped, and one with her hands tied to the back of her ankles like Delta in Replacement TV.

Never118, were you referring to the picture of Lee Lee Sobieski I posted at Grigbertz forum? That post is in the first of 11 pages of pictures I’ve collected and comments to go with them. Please let me know what you think if you check out any more of it.

We still haven’t heard from theticklingmaster yet. And I hope Sablesword isn’t feeling shut out. I have a feeling Hywel can ultimately use all our ideas.

Penny Lee in Her Princess Penny guise and gown would be a perfect part of my concept as well.
