Happy Holidays everyone!
As part of our celebrations let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming up for you in the new year.
And returning in the archives:
Hello Everyone,
Unbelievably another year draws to a close! It’s getting colder outside, but it’s as hot as ever inside RestrainedElegance.com for members. Here are some sample winter warmers coming you way next month!
Watch out for bonus updates and extra archives over the holiday period, too!
And a sample of the archives for next month too:
Hi Everyone,
If you are on the mailing list or follow me on Twitter you’ll have seen the saga of the disgruntled ex-customer claiming RE’s bondage has gone all bland, and the subsequent replies to me, and thence mine to him. His reply to that was pretty rude, so I’m not going to fret any more about him directly.
What I do want to say though is thank you to the dozens (so far!) of you who have written to tell me your thoughts. It’s actually been a great conversation starter, and I’m reading all your feedback both good and bad with avid interest. We can’t please all the people all of the time but there are some valid complaints and some great suggestions, and I will try to get back to everyone individually with equally thoughtful replies.
However, it’s going to take me a while – weeks at least – to get back to everybody because of my other shoot commitments and being away from the computer a lot for various reasons until December. Please bear with me, thank you again for writing, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Hi Everyone,
Time for the previews for next month. Here’s what members will be getting at RestrainedElegance.com this month:
And back in the archives for you to enjoy:
Hi All,
UPDATE: Windows, Linux and Android can’t unzip files bigger than 4 GB , at least not where the ZIP file was
built on Linux (as they are for RE) or MacOS. This is the first time we’ve burst through the 4 GB ZIP file size for a full-res set, because the Lesbian Vampire set is 500+ pics but is also very stylised, with heavy film grain added, which means a lot of non-compressible detail in the images, so each image is also bigger.
I’m therefore uploading a split version of the photoset so non-Mac users can download in two halves and unzip that way. I will ensure future sets are less than 4 GB in final ZIP size for the hi-res versions.
Many thanks to the members who helped figure all this out!
Original report:
I had a report of ZIP file issues with today’s awesome (and huge!) Lesbian Vampire set with Faye and Scarlett. I’ve just rebuilt and re-uploaded everything and downloaded it and it works for me – if you have any problems please let me know. Note that the HiDef ZIP file in particular for this set is almost 5 GB – it’s a huge set with lots of detail in the film grain etc. so the file sizes are similarly vast.
Hywel
