Bedroom Bondage Retrospective
Bondage
Life 67
April 1997
 In
late 1996, I decided to write a video script that would make good use
of the train tracks near my apartment. The resulting photos
became famous on the internet -- in some ways the peak career moment
for Jon and me.
 As
described in the magazine:
"I lived by these tracks for several years.
I thought about it many times, driving past them on my way to work:
all a determined damsel needs is a willing villain. When I at
last found one, I was eager to plan the adventure.
"In the costume store I asked for an old-fashioned
blue dress. The shop-owner brought out an outfit she called
Sun-Bonnet Sue. In the dressing room I looked in the mirror and
visualized ropes pressing into the folds of fabric.
"Every damsel needs not only a villain, but also her
heroes. I called up my bondage buddies Oak, Paul and Aaron, and
asked if they'd protect me during this escapade. They agreed to
be there with cameras in hand.
"I donned my dress and petticoats, and drove to the
railroad tracks. Villainous Leonard looked quite imposing in his
top hat and cape... as he unloaded the tripods from my car. The five
of us walked together up the rails, to the precise spot I'd picked out
beforehand. We piled coils of rough rope on the ground. My
heroes stood at the ready. I gave the script a final run-through
as Leonard waited, his black cape billowing in the wind. It was
now time to act out my fantasy, and it would all happen upon my
signal.
"I gave the word. 'Roll cameras... and...
Action!'
"Within the next few amazing minutes, I was
thoroughly trussed, gagged, and placed struggling on the tracks.
Right where I'd always wanted to be."
| "I think most of us were deeply affected by images
presented to us by popular culture. If we see them at that
crucial moment in our development, they become indelibly
imprinted into our psyches. One of the joys of playing bondage
is being able to act out these fantasies in a safe, sane and
consensual manner. And if you ever have a chance to
perform a fantasy -- no matter how juvenile or corny it may
seem -- don't miss the opportunity. You'll be surprised at
how much fun it is."

The resulting video, "Damsels
in Distress" (Close-Up video KISS-32) became one of my
favorite productions for several reasons... It had a bondage-orgasm
scene. It had both of my life partners in it (Eric dons a
gorilla suit to tie me up; Jon's the villain in hat and cape).
And best of all, it had two train-track bondages.
After the video came out, I took my favorite photo
from that day and had it printed up as an 8x10 glossy. My boss,
Big John at Close-Up, saw the print and decided to frame it and hang
it on the wall in his office. The next time R. Q. Harmon came
visiting, he spotted the photo and suggested to Big John that the pic
could be a cover for Harmony
Concepts' Bondage Life magazine. Close-Up
passed the photos along to Harmony for that purpose.
The magazine identifies me as "Kristine Imboch"
- that was my bondage alias before I decided to start going by my real
name Lorelei. Jon is identified as "Leonard Ayresteel"
because back then, there was something of a tradition for the Harmony
guys to use two names -- usually something silly for their onscreen
persona. Photographer Eric Holman called himself Horton Fenwick
onscreen, Brian Tarsis called himself Newton Pendergast, and
Jon Woods
was Leonard Ayresteel.
Bondage Life 67 is sadly out of print.
