Archive: The Forest Gods' Hunger

Added 03-07-2008

Here's what I said about this set when it originally appeared:

The travelling magician told the villagers that the marshlights showed the anger of the nature spirits, that they souring of the acorns that had poisoned Old Farmer Milton's pig showed that the great horned god of the forests was angry with them. He spoke of villages far away, on the other side of the forest, empty ruins now, smouldering remains as mute witness to the gods' powerful anger. He told them that the only way to save their village was to placate the gods by offering them a ritual sacrifice, the blood of a maiden to spare the rivers of blood that would surely flow if the gods were not appeased... the girl was selected by the magician himself, the proudest, most beautiful in all the village... they took her out to the forest and shackled her there, to await the coming of the forest gods...

The villagers had left her here, shackled and helpless, to await the fall of night and the coming of the Forest Gods. That creepy magician had told them all about the villages on the other side of the forest, of how the gods came and burned everything to the ground. She was terrified, but if her death could save everyone she knew... she swallowed, throat dry with fear in the fading heat of the afternoon.

The branches rustled at the edge of the clearing. Surely the gods were not here already? Everyone knew the forest gods rode only at night. She caught a glimpse of dark robes through the trees. It was that foul magician!

"Well my dear, they have made a fine job of chaining you up, haven't they? Let's have a better look at you!" he said, as he reached out to bare her breasts! "Don't shy away, my love! You and I are going to get very much better acquainted!" the foul old man said as he leered at her. "But... the gods!" she screamed as he pawed at her.. "the sacrifice! They will be angry!"

"Tricks and stories for simpletons! Only country bumpkins would be taken in by all those... wooo! Scary stories about the villages on the other side of the forest! Don't worry my dear" he said as he touched her up "those scary ghoulies aren't going to eat you! You're coming with me... and I see a bright future ahead of you, pretty little thing like you..."

Big Bondage: Elle

Added 02-07-2008

It seemed like a great idea. Reality TV, but with bondage. Mild kink, sex, celebrities, kinky good looking twenty-somethings all locked up in a house together for ten weeks... It was bound to succeed. (See what I did there? See? See?

Like all media companies, of course, the producers were trying to do everything on the cheap. Get girls to bring in their own bondage gear, why not, it would save a few quid! Did they have to be into it? Nah, they just had to be able to lie enough to look vaguely plausible.

Let's get a few in for a casting. How about that Elle, she looked hot in her photos...

Here's what I said about this set when it originally appeared:

I was looking around for a fairly old set to put up to celebrate the sixth birthday of Restrained Elegance, and suddenly my eye was caught. This set- Jasmine Sinclair in an Ice Blue Chinese Silk Dress- was probably my first really iconic photoset and one of the ones of which I'm still most proud. Enjoy!

There are some interesting experiments with the light in this photoset. It is nice to try a few variations sometimes- I think the single-spotlight dark photos are very striking!

The Emperor's Gift (Part One)

Restrained Elegance Nights

Added 01-07-2008

Felicity was very proud of herself. It'd been her idea to enter the harem 3 months ago, and though her parents hadn't really liked the plan, she was quite single-minded and more than capable of making life unbearable until she'd got her way. But to her intense disappointment, she'd chosen wrong. The harem was a small one in the provinces (Felicity described it as 'the suburban harem-ette' to herself) and after a few days she wasn't at all sure that the small-time sheik really deserved ONE fawning woman, let alone SIX! He was short, fat and bad-tempered; and to Felicity's great displeasure, not particularly interested in the art of seduction. She spent most days hanging around listlessly, waiting to be called by him, but starting to rather hope that she wouldn't be. This had not been her plan, and she envisaged a rather dull future for herself since there was no way out of her contract of service....

And then, everything changed. The 'top girl' (supposedly the sheik's favourite - but a poor lanky creature with bad skin and thick ankles) rushed to the other girls one morning as they were bathing. They were being visited by the Emperor's men! This could only mean one thing - the Emperor was looking for a new girl for himself! Felicity could hardly breathe with excitement as she completed her makeup and knelt with the other girls to receive their guests.

There was never any doubt in Felicity's mind that she would be chosen. She tossed her hair, flashed her most winning smiles, and contrived to flash as much leg as was humanly possible while kneeling. The other girls shot her hateful glances, but Felicity simply didn't care; she wanted the job! It came as no surprise to anyone that a few minutes later, the Emperor's deputy stepped forward and told Felicity that she would be taken to the Emperor's harem as a gift. The other girls clapped sullenly, and Felicity beamed at them gleefully. Finally, she'd have the chance to experience a PROPER harem, and hopefully, a REAL man!

She was ushered into one of the small chambers and told to disrobe. They'd be taking her right away, they told her; but first she must be 'prepared'. Well, that was fine with Felicity! She didn't want to spend another hour in the provinces, and certainly didn't want to give the sheik another opportunity to paw at her... When some rope was produced, Felicity was somewhat surprised, but when it was explained to her that the Emperor prefered to receive his gifts 'wrapped up', it seemed perfectly reasonable to allow herself to be tied securely by the deputy. He certainly did an excellent job - when he'd finished she couldn't move much at all, and when she looked down at her naked body she thought he'd done a super job of enhancing her shape. She even rather liked the way it felt, and since the journey wasn't likely to be longer than a couple of hours, Felicity felt sure she could cope with not being able to move around much....

Archive: The Audition (Part One)

Added 01-07-2008

Here's what I said about this set when it originally appeared:

It was a very good assignment. A thousand pounds for the shoot, cover of the magazine, regular shoots in exotic locations... is it surprising that Hannah and Sabrina were both absolutely determined to get the job?

The cattiness started the moment Hannah sat down. She looked Sabrina up and down and sneered. 'Are you here for the audition?' asked Sabrina. 'Oh, are YOU here for that too?' Hannah replied, her tone stagily surprised that Sabrina could POSSIBLY consider herself for the same job... and it all went a bit downhill from there!

The director was having none of it. Yesterday he'd lost nearly three hours clearing the place up from the results of another bloody model catfight, so this time he knew exactly what to do. A bunch of ropes, a few burly roadies, and bingo! Model tranquility. Sort of. That would at least let him cast the girl before these two... and if they were really going at in hammer and tongs, they'd hardly be the sort to help each other escape, now would they?

Restrained Elegance Nights

Added 01-07-2008

Here's what I said about this set when it originally appeared:

Kate was getting frighteningly creative. “I’m going to incorporate her hair into the hogtie” she said. “Is that ok, Hywel?”. Um, HELLO? What about asking me? Fortunately, I couldn’t have been more pleased. Hair-pulling is a thing I love very much indeed; and following a disastrous fashion contract in which loads of my hair was lopped off, it’s only just long enough for hair-ties to be an option again. Hogties are tough anyway, and having my head pulled back made it a seriously challenging position!

But STILL the punishment wasn’t over. My furious ‘supervisor’ (Hywel, getting ever more motivated) saw the restrictive hogtie as an excellent opportunity for fitting some much needed bastinado into the shoot. Finally, after much struggling and squirming around (the shoot had to stop because I almost fell off the table at one point) I was left to my own devices – totally unable to escape, and struggling with a challenging position which was getting more difficult by the second.

Finally, Kate was satisfied that she’d got enough pictures for the set. But she still found time to take one more, my favourite from the week – a picture of me, still tied up, no longer in character, enjoying an endorphin high…. Hope you like it too!

Could You Sell This?

Added 30-06-2008

If you've ever watched "The Apprentice", have you ever thought to yourself "Could I sell this?" when they are doing some salesman challenge. I was just imagining a challenge where you had to sell what is on display here. No, not the dress (or the handcuffs)... the girl! I think I could sell this... :-)

Restrained Elegance Nights

Here's what I said about this set when it originally appeared:

Ariel had got a bit complacent with the Restrained Elegance routine. Turn up at studio, be bad, get tied up, get spanked, sleep in a cage... been there, done that, got the crop marks! So just before Xmas Chanta and I decided to mix things up a little for her. I'd been in contact with the folks at The Fetish Studio (which happens to be quite close to where I live) and a trip to their dungeon seemed like it might be just the thing to stir things up a bit... I was waiting for them at the top of the hill, and had sent Chanta down to escort Ariel...

Don't come the innocent with me! I don't know where your mouth has been this evening... if it has been in some of the places your cute little ass has been, I'm not kissing it until it has been washed out with soap and water! This ballgag should shut you up while you suck up your punishment. I don't know why I let you get away with acting this way. I'd almost think you were trying to provoke me into tying you up on your knees, a super-tight crotchrope biting between your legs. You'd almost think this shit turned you on...

Putting Up A Fight

Added 28-06-2008

It was a point of principle. Sure, he was in the right, and sure, she had acted pretty badly towards his best friend and sure, she'd been damn rude about it. And sure, she really loved being tied up and gagged "being put in her place" as she called it. But as a point of principle, she had to fight him every step of the way before he took her in hand...

He wouldn't have had it any other way!

Archive: Nikki's Slave Auction

Added 28-06-2008

Here's what I said about this set when it originally appeared:

This is another set from the very early days of the site, the first shoot I did in my living room. The idea was that I would do a slave auction shoot with each model, including the mask and cloak... unfortunately, the mask and cloak idea looked pretty rubbish. The rest of the set is much better, though!

Nikki was going to be slave lot 1350, as the original story for the set shows...

Welcome once again to Honest Omar's, Oh esteemed client! This week we have many fine slaves for your perusal, but may I suggest Lot 1350 in particular? I think the trainers have missed a trick here, if I may be so bold. She may not have the full Kama Sutra certificates, but I assure you that at our impromptu orgy last night she was quite an exciting discovery! Decorum forbids a discussion of volumes, but there was certainly plenty of fluid flowing in her direction, if you get my meaning!

You wish to see her unmasked? Why of course! No extra charge, special this week. What's that? The ball-gag is too big? Well, maybe a little. Don't want to stretch her, poor dear. Out it comes! Plop! There we are- show yourself off to the nice customer, my dear!

Going once for a million dollars...

Going twice...

Gone!

Wrap and pack her, lads!

Metal Strappado in the Globe Cage

Restrained Elegance Nights

Added 27-06-2008

Now if it had been left to Ariel, things might have stopped at her having a play in the globe cage in her slave collar. But Steve had a wicked idea he wanted to try- a metal strappado in the cage! So we shackled Ariel's hands together behind her back and attached them to the cage. Suddenly a nice fun playful set turned into something very strict: this is a challenging position at the best of times, and constrained in the cage and fastened with unforgiving, unyielding metal instead of nice soft rope makes it really pretty tough.

Of course, Ariel moaned a bit... and of course, when she came out she was thrilled to have done it!

Kelly Kole

Art Galleries

Added 26-06-2008

As you can see, Kelly was on my real muses for the bondage portraits. It was such FUN drawing her hair! I consider myself really lucky to have had the opportunity to work with most of the ladies who inspired me in the early days- it was great to shoot with Kelly when she came over to the UK one time. This is what I said about her in the early days:

Kelly Kole is a newcomer to bondage modelling although she has an extensive portfolio of glamour and fashion work. She has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, jade green and clear as a winter's night.

She is not so much a damsel-in-distress as the lady-in-latex. Kelly really looks lost in her own private world. Wouldn't it be great to step in and share it with her? Calling Prince Charming...

The colour images in this series were the first colour bondage portraits I've done and indeed the first colour picture of any sort for some years. Having rediscovered colour, I had a go with pastels. I always liked the luxurious feel of the colours and thought maybe I could use them for Kelly's wonderful red hair. I also tried watercolour pencils on Ingres paper and on smooth paper. I think I like the pastels best but the pencils on smooth paper work well too.
