"When you're in bondage, does it matter to you whether or not you're naked? Does the absence of clothing add to the experience by making it more humiliating or do you prefer to be dressed when in such a compromising position?"

Of course it can be a drain on the pocketbook to keep tearing up clothes.

I've since learned to relax more and not do so much thinking when I'm tied up!

"Do you always try the bondage positions that you use in your movies on yourself beforehand to test the time limits?"

"We were wondering how you can direct a scene when you're tied up tight with a big ballgag in your mouth and a blindfold."

We use scarves sometimes, but I like torn-up bedsheets much more.

I don't think the frogtie is a good position for most people, though, because most people have bigger legs than I do, and their legs fall asleep when you tie them folded up like that.

"What's your favorite position to observe?"

"Do you like handcuffs?  Not the funny leather things; I mean steel."

However, a play-pal of mine made me a chastity belt many years ago. I have a few photos of me wearing it, and those pics will turn up on this site eventually.

I wore that chastity belt a few times with a dildo attached to it, with clothes over the belt, went in public, shopping and stuff.

I don't own a leather harness.  At the moment I can't afford to buy things like that.

I designed a few leather-strap-and-buckle designs, and my father then made them for me, but the brads tended to pop if I pulled too hard on them.

For those who are about to ask, yes, my father does know what I do for a living. I don't believe that we have to put our fetishes in our family's face, but in terms of this being my career and also a hobby, I do share that aspect with my parents. They've seen the magazines that I edit and some of the better videos I've directed. It's also true that my father built the suspension frame that appeared in several of the KISS videos.

"What size ballgag can you take?"

But I wouldn't recommend being tied up that long to anybody. It was just a fluke that I was in such a comfortable position and Chaz was able to keep the endorphins going for so long.

"How do you feel when tying up a man, compared to tying up a woman?"

I've been in a few other cages...  I kind of like those big-pet carrying cages too.

But these days, I think if my partner tried to untie me before getting to the intercourse, I'd probably have a hissy fit.

"Do you like to be tied up and tickled? If so, where are your most ticklish spots?"

I'm ticklish on my soles and underarms, and I sometimes respond to the knee-grab and waist tickling.

When I was growing up, my sister and I used to have ticklefights, which were refereed by my brother. We did it like a ring fight on my parents' king-size bed. We'd start in opposite corners, my brother would yell "ding!" for the bell, and we'd come out tickling. I usually won because my sister was more ticklish and would collapse helplessly if I got a good spot.

I remember one odd move we used was to grab the opponent's arm, bend it at the elbow, then nudge our chin in the crook of the elbow. For some reason that really tickled.

You have to be very careful that you don't make a model feel like she HAS to play with you just to get future modeling jobs.

"I came across a website by [M].
He had pics of you bound and gagged in a trunk of a car and to the railroad tracks. Why don't you have any pics of yourself like that in your web page?"

Regarding the railroad track pics, when that photo layout first came out, a lot of sites scanned and posted those photos illegally. The images are copyrighted by Close-Up Concepts and Harmony Concepts. (Any image that they own, I have to get permission to scan and post them on my site. I did finally get that image up.)

"Your Bondage Detective magazines-- where can I find them or how can I subscribe to them?"

They're photos of me or by me, with fun blurbs written mostly by my boyfriend, and then the cover mock-up is designed by Richard Reynolds.

Check out Teri Grey's attic for some scans of actual original detective mags.

My worst experience was a location shoot I did with my friend Dorothy. Dorothy was great. What was wrong with the vid was, I was in every scene of the video, so I had to direct, carry lights, move equipment, and film while wearing 5-inch heels the whole day. Can you imagine doing hard labor in stilettos? It was terrible.

"Has there been a model who was the absolute worst #$#$# to work with?"

But I'm not going to tell you who it was.

If you want the whole shebang, here ya go:

32C-24-34
Height 5'2"
Feet 6 1/2 or 7
Dress ExtraSmall/3
Weight 96 lbs.

Amendment 2004:
Currently I'm more like:
34D-30-36
Dress Small-Medium
Weight 107 lbs

I would probably show more groping pix on my site if I could... after all, I just love it when my boyfriend ties me up and gropes me. However, the logistics... he's usually the one who has to step back and take the photos!

"What is it that makes bondage such an intimate part of your life?"

I'm the sort of person for whom sex is very important, and bondage is very important. I know that for many other people, these things are not important to their happiness.

My personal scene has nothing to do with masters, not even in role-playing.

"Recall if you can, a gag I've seen you use in several Harmony films. I can describe it as a black latex-covered ballgag with a black surgical tube band instead of traditional leather straps. I've seen Kiri Kelly wear it."

Actually, I know what you mean by the question. You're talking about the exotic aspect.

Being tied to trees, or being tied in car trunks -- those are my favorite locations in terms of a feeling of special-ness and excitement.

I like that sensation of being pressed up against a very soft and cuddly co-captive.

Pros: I liked the smoothness, I liked doing something different.

Cons: A main purpose of pubic hair is to contain moisture in the area so that sex-juices don't deplete during intercourse.  I really hate the dry-humping effect that arises due to shaved crotch.

Other cons:

My clit's rather big and it looks very lonely with no hair around.

When the hair grows back in, it  ITCHES LIKE MAD and makes daily life, not to mention sexual activities, no fun at all.

So I doubt I'll ever shave again.

I do trim my fur frequently, so it won't be in the way during cunnilingus.

Also, I do love to bleach or lighten my pubic hair -- to give myself a blonde bush.

I'm not much for surface sensation, so I'm not into heat or ice.  I prefer stimulation that addresses deeper tissue, such as firm bondage pressure, and thudding sensations.

I like being flogged or spanked, but it's because I like those thudding physical sensations -- the acts themselves don't seem particularly "sexy" or "exciting" to me. The thud doesn't feel good if it swipes down on the buttcheeks, so standing for a flogging doesn't work -- for buttwork I need to be face down, preferably with my legs bent at the hips.

I haven't explored bondage positions with this much because neither of my partners are much into applying discipline. I suppose the best position for spanking/flogging would be a supported strappado, because it would feel so vulnerable.

I own several anal plugs, but I only use them vaginally -- I like that "bell" shape for vaginal stimulation!

LOL

"Do you like this pic of..."
"...me?"
"...my dick?"
"...my motorcycle?"

Nipple clamps are nice when they're pressing or holding behind the nipple, but I dislike clamps when they're used for a pinching or clamping sensation.

I prefer to be lying down during tied fellatio.

I guess I'll answer it in two parts.

Our society nods approvingly and unquestioningly at someone who spends 10 hours a week watching football. However, if you spend 10 hours a week watching sex videos or surfing sexy websites, that's considered a "wrong" way to relax... a questionable recreation... the wrong hobby. What's the diff? I think sex is more relaxing than a lot of other hobbies, and that's supposed to be the main reason for a hobby -- it makes you happy.

So, bondage is my hobby, and it makes me happy, like a hobby should.

Part two of the answer is a much more serious consideration. Why are all the people in the world indulging in hobbies to make themselves happy -- when we should all spend our free time being politically or communially involved in repairing the world? Feeding the hungry? Stopping wars? Educating the masses?

In high school and college, I joined several rights groups that were trying to make changes. After several weeks of activity and discussion I invariably became depressed by the constant awareness of the volume of injustice and the seeming impossibility of change. I would become so depressed I would stop functioning. And then I became useless to the cause.

So all I can say for myself is, I'm a weakling. If I watch too much of the nightly news, I get depressed. (If I see some mother crying because her child was killed, I start crying with her.) So instead, I keep track of world events by reading internet articles, reviewing the paper and listening to radio reports -- the heavy reality of TV images is just too much for me.

So I guess all I can do is involve myself in a less daunting goal -- trying to make fetishists happier about themselves and less judgmental about themselves -- and hope that my karma is having some small dent on the greater evils of the world :)
