Hello Everybody and welcome to Restrained Elegance’s 23rd year! Our birthday is on 1st April, and here are some samples of what we’ve got coming up in celebration. That includes the much-anticipated debuts of Charlie Monaco, Ruby Alexia, Brianna Olivia and Cherry English. I’ve also decided that the Horror-inspired sets in our “Bride of Darkness” series are popular enough that I can probably put up one a month or thereabouts without anyone getting annoyed, so watch out for a dose of terror around about the turn of the month every month from now on!

Here are the sets coming your way in the members’ area:

Competition Results!

Hi Everyone

Well, that was a delight! Our custom video script competition resulted in some very high quality entries indeed, and I couldn’t
pick just one winner. So I’m going to film as many of them as I can. (One or two were not possible for scheduling or physical reasons or didn’t fit the brief eg wanted multiple models).

I already shot the first two with Charlie Monaco, and I have ones lined up with Ruby Alexia, Brianna Olivia, Cherry English and Lucy Lauren to come. Interesting to see what your fellow members have gone for – I think you’re going to love the films. Watch this space – I’ll try to get the first ones edited in between shoots and up onto the site as soon as I can.

Many thanks to everyone who entered, the scripts were an absolute pleasure to read.
