It has long struck me that there’s big hole in the English language when it comes to describing the two parties in bondage. Yes, we have ‘rigger’ as a word for the active party but this can get confusing as it also applies to theatrical riggers who hang up stage equipment and the like. I suppose there is …
It’s been quite a week on the forums! I have been banned from yet another group for daring to speak of ‘the tie that shall not be named’ (aka 3T-SNBN) or as, I prefer that ‘Japanese Box-Tie Thingy’ (JB-TT). My crime was to suggest that firstly there was no such thing as “The TK” and …
Murakawa got in touch recently to ask us to perform at the event he is organising. I must confess I have been dithering a bit over the invitation. On one hand, I still don’t feel any great urge to jump up on stage and, on the other, it is a very great honour to be …
Wow! Our first sell-out. The Flying Dutchman was buzzing. One of the comments that we kept hearing was “”What a nice friendly atmosphere” or words to that effect. This came mainly from new-comers, who can often be a little intimidated, so it was particularly gratifying. We wanted to make the event approachable and open up …
As a skilled procrastinator, it has taken me years to finally get around to visiting my main rope supplier. A couple of weeks ago, Nina and I made the trip to meet the faces behind the emails and see how it is made.They have a very spacious factory kitted out with a range of machines for …
Until recently, the cast of the much-touted forthcoming Cirque Shibari tour was something of a mystery to most; although not to us, inevitably, since they snapped up Gestalta and Gorgone, co-organiser of BOUND, both of whom are friends and regular collaborators 🙂 Although Cirque has an Indiegogo page, the stars seemed to be one of …
I’m making the announcement here first as we are having some work done on the BOUND site at the moment. Yes, really, FREE ROPE! As in, zero money, zilch, without charge or commitment. There’s no catch, all you have to do is to show up at BOUND on Friday, 7 November and take your pick …
In keeping with the Halloween season, the BOUND team thought a spot of zombie action would be apt. Many of you will no doubt recall my very lovely ex-partner and model, Electric Fairey. What you might not know is that she is a very talented animator. As her final year project, she produced Night of …
Since, as many of you probably know, the Esinem name was inspired by rapper, Eminem, and a very early performance of mine that involved a chainsaw. In spite of claiming to be no actress, I was awestruck by the inspired acting of my diminutive Japanese model. However, she later confessed no acting was required, on …
I am proud to present the finished edit of the first joint production with Rowelart, a re-make of ‘What Lies Beneath’. As you will see, we scoured the world for acting talent, filmed in exotic faraway locations and no expense has been spared on this extravagant production. No doubt it will do the rounds of …
