Unwilling Tree Hugger

Added 05-02-2012

Temptress Kate is thoroughly incapacitated by a pair of elegant globe cuffs. Unless she can pull the tree down, there's no way she's going anywhere, which forces her to put on quite a show for her boyfriend who's enjoying his picnic - and the view....

Archive: Ariel Against the Ivy

Added 05-02-2012

This short set of Ariel against the Ivy was an experiment with a new (for us) lighting technique for outdoor shoots. We put a large diffusing panel over Ariel's head to diffuse the very harsh overhead lighting conditions, and filled the shadows in even more with a tiny bit of fill-in-flash to make sure there were nice catchlights in her eyes.

Unfortunately, two mishaps brought the set to a premature close- the wind got up, the diffuser panel damn near flew away (nearly taking Merlin with it) and Ariel caught her high heel on the cuffs when attempting a tricky legs-through-cuffs maneuver to get into some different poses. (That's what I get for letting her keep her shoes on, by the way- if she'd been barefoot it wouldn't have happened). With two simultaneous mishaps to contend with and the wind getting up, we decided the gods were telling us to get back indoors to the safety of the studio!

Our conclusion was that this way of lighting is cool, but hard to organise for bondage location shoots. You certainly need to tie the stands down very firmly. And confiscate Ariel's shoes!

Poor Abigail! Kidnapped, tied up, spread wide open in a sinister circle of candle-light! Sinister chanting, figures in the darkness, heady incense... she is tonight's virgin sacrifice! But are the cultists going to sacrifice HER... or her virginity???

Robbed in Fur

Added 04-02-2012

Rich bitch Heidi has made a few enemies, and someone has obviously tipped off a mobster that the house is full of designer handbags, jewellry and ill-gotten gains. The staged break-in could have been done while Heidi was out, but so much more satisfying to do it when she's in... that way you get to chain her up and humiliate her! Of course the burglar needs time to get away, and doesn't want a possible burglary rap to rather up by any misadventure coming to Heidi. A conundrum! Then the answer came- handcuffs, two pairs, behind the back, and leg irons to the sofa. If she slipped the key into the top of Heidi's stockings, she could probably bank on having at least an hour to make good her escape before the girl got herself free...

There are risks working for a high tech cryptography company... risks like competitors and foreign powers wanting to find out the inner workings of your cryptographic gear. Risks like being kidnapped by a gang a thugs and interrogated, handcuffed to the heavy chair, breasts bared...

Of course, she doesn't really work for a cryptography company, and the chair is in their basement, but her boyfriend is playing a pretty good villain in that black mask, and she's half excited and half scared by exactly what he has in store for her tonight...

Alas, the invition to the castle ball wasn't without drama. It is not wise to refuse a dance to the Prince, especially not considering the rumours about the Prince's... predilections. Countess Amber would certainly have accepted had she realised who was proposing. But the Prince was standing behind her when he asked for the waltz, and she had refused before recognising his voice. A chill ran down her spine.

The evening swiftly took a turn for the worse as the Prince's guards seized an arm each, lifting her off her feet to march her down to the dungeons! Knowing only too well what fate would befall her there, the countess fought tooth and nail, her pretty slippers lost in the melee, until the guards were forced to cosh her to finish the job.

And when she awoke, she had been clapped in irons to await the Prince's "pleasure"....

Scarlot Rose's First Rope Suspension

Added 03-02-2012

Please welcome lovely new girl Scarlot Rose to Restrained Elegance! Scarlot had done a few bondage shoots before she visited, and she had lots of great ideas for how she wanted to be tied. She was a little nervous about this one though- her first full rope suspension!

Slavegirl Louise is permitted to eat bananas for lunch, but, being as she was still in a hogtie, she had a bit of work to do to get at her food!

Added 03-02-2012

At our Restrained Elegance management meeting last year, Sammie mentioned that she'd been locked in a set of strange globe-shaped cuffs for a shoot which she thought would be perfect for Restrained Elegance. A few web searches and emails later and a set was duly made for us- so it seemed only fitting to try them out on Sammie!

As I'm sure you'll have gathered by now, I am a big fan of the way satin looks. It always looks like an invitation to run your hands all over the satin-clad bits of female anatomy! Add to that the open-leg wrist to ankles tie which is very suggestive of an even more intimate invitation, and the lovely Cate Harrington to bring them all together, and you have a very open invitation indeed!

Barefoot in Blue Jeans

Added 01-02-2012

I don't know why, but there's something very evocative and sexy about the phrase "barefoot in blue jeans". It calls to mind images of a gorgeous blonde, bound (of course!) in shining metal, topless, helpless, and glamourous as hell. In fact, it called to my mind Hannah Claydon, and I just had to get her to bring along a pair of jeans to our shoot. Rather than mix and match tops and shoes, I thought we could have a little tryout session for some different metal bondage- handcuffs, leg irons, a mean handcuff frog-shackle, and then the main event- the dreaded yoke!

Archive: A Big Misunderstanding

Added 01-02-2012

Honestly, it was all a big misunderstanding. Sure, she was a secretary in the Defence department, and sure, all sorts of papers about nuclear physics and atomic bombs had passed over her desk. And sure, it was a bit of a coincidence, her showing up on vacation just over the road from where the secret technology forum was going to be. But honestly, the binoculars were for bird-watching, not peeping in on the blackboards at the meeting!

Please, officer, do I look like a Russian spy? There's no need to go getting the military police from the summit now, is there? I'm just a dumb blonde (with great legs) in the wrong place at the wrong time, officer. Surely you can think of something better to do with me than tie me up and hand me over to the MPs? I won't try to get out or run away, I promise... wait! Why are you taking my shoes? There's a lot of really sharp gravel all around here you know! I promise I'll wait for you until you get back with the MPs...
