I recently came across a couple of “shibari performance” videos recently that demonstated nothing more than shambari executed in a shambolic and unsafe manner posted by people offering lessons in shibari. I’m not talking about just poor style, I mean really ignoring basic safety. As a result, I felt complelled to start a thread, called …
I only just noticed that my eBay shop was starting to resemble Steptoe & Sons’ junk yard. I have made a start on sorting it out and will continue to improve it. There’s an application in for a merchant account so when I get that I will have my own online store without PayPal’s constraints …
Mackenzie Cross was kind enough to provide a review of my DVDs, which I will reproduce here. Unbelievably, I was not the result of duress or bribery but I definitely shall be buying him a few beers now I have seen it! A number of weeks ago I was contacted by Esinem (aka Bruce) to …

If you are like I was a day or two, you will he asking what the hell is an RSS feed and why would I want one anyway? OK, I apologise to those of you who know all about them and wonder which rock I have been living under not to have one already. As …
The schedule can never be cast in stone and might be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. For example, last year, Zamil’s taxi was unfortunately involved in an accident on the way to the airport preventing his attendance. We might also be throwing in a few surprises, one of which will be Hedwig’s dissertation …
I am delighted that my shibari has been included once again in Sang Bleu, along with an interview by Maxime Büchi who has become one of my students at my Japanese bondage evening classes. You’ll see some of the work I did for a fashion shoot with Adrian Wilson at 1:10 and 1:18 on the …
Well, I have finally conceded defeat in my on-going battle with this site and employed a grown-up to help me with the finer points of server admin and the more arcane secrets of WordPress set up. This side of things has really been eating up my time that I can’t afford due to having to …
Tim Woodward of Skin Two just gave me the heads-up on a great new resource, their fetish events calendar. Even though it’s early days for the calendar, it’s filling up rapidly.
