InfernalRestraints.com
I was reading some of the old shoot descriptions on www.InfernalRestraints.com and this one particularly caught my interest: STRAITJACKET Chapter 1 "The Close Connection" featuring Pinky
(Posted: June 29, 2007) BDSM gear fetishists everywhere will never unanimously agree on anything much less the attributes and premier sources of visually stunning and highly functional equipment. Unless of course, you're talking about PD's creations. Obsessed with the binding of the human body, PD is scrupulous about efficacy and design. And he hates to wait. So he sewed and re-sewed his own pattern of a straitjacket until he was satisfied not merely with the aesthetics, but also with his requirement that equipment should perfectly fit and restrain any number of body types. As KGB (the metal smith at Intersec) has remarked, It is always a struggle to make it fit both the bitch and PD. The devices and gear you see on Infernal Restraints are one-of-a-kind pieces made by artists for artists with a deep love of the genre.
Part one of Straitjacket features Pinky cable-tied to an antique dentist chair that's worth every penny. The elegant metal chair enhances the delicious lines and curves of Pinky's body as she strains against the tightly constricting bondage that renders her utterly helpless. Clamps wound with copper wire are bolted so tight to her nipples that, well, you just can't squeeze a tit any tighter, even with surgical screws. Pink and lush, her protruding nipples are mouthwatering. PD leaves Pinky with a cunt/clit vibrator in place then drives into town to pick up a couple burgers, a sandwich that Pinky clearly disdains. As Pinky wiggles and squirms against her strict, controlling bondage, PD calls Pinky's cell phone, which just happens to be taped to a voice activated stim. The close connection of copper to nipple, while Pinky is penetrated and vibrated, causes her to have a mind-blowing experience. In Part 2, Pinky's strapped and laced tightly into PD's straitjacket. It fits her body like skin. We'll see just how much she likes the burger PD brings back for her.
Most of the gear used in this shoot was either picked up at a flea market, purchased at a local hardware store, or made by PD. The ingenious re-use of day-to-day objects is well, let's face it way hot. Like FABULOUSLY hot. Like totally INSEX hot.
Note to all Members: Throughout its existence, Intersec has welcomed the ideas and talents of its members who have shown time and again that diabolically effective equipment can be constructed from just about anything. Many thanks to all of our members, especially those with deviously obsessed minds. . .You know who you are.
A Second, More Frivolous Note: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. |

What the pro had to say about my ankle
By the time I got to work on Thursday, I realized that despite the rest, my ankle was getting worse, not better, so I made an appt. Which is good, bc it took me a few tries to find a recommended doc who accepts Oxford. The appt didn't start well: they made me wait 45 mins for my "first appt of the day" appt. The doc came in and immediately started taking measurements of calf diameter, min. angle between shin and foot, and diameter of the ankle itself. The left ankle was 22cm, compared to 21cm for the right, which counts as mild swelling. The doc then pressed on my foot, but before he could finish saying, "Does it hurt when I-" I was yelping. He asked one or two more questions, pronounced it "a garden variety sprain" and prescribed 6-8 weeks, commenting darkly that if I'd come in earlier, it would've been 6 weeks rather than 8. I asked why so long, given that I roll my ankle all the time, and went to pt 4 years ago for it and... He said, "whoa whoa whoa, you did this four years ago? this is chronic, we need an MRI." Gosh Mr. Dr., maybe if you did patient histories or read the ones your assistant prepared for you, you'd know these things. He vaguely explained that we need to see if the ligament is torn or merely stressed, as the former would require surgery. EEK! So, MRI at 6:45 am on Monday. Meanwhile, he didn't prescribe anything (a brace, painkillers, who knows) so I can feel it getting worse. Yesterday morning when I woke up, I could feel my foot feeling... looser, and less stable. I wish I could go for a trigger point massage and/or start my PT immediately. So far, a massage from a friend of a friend is the only thing that's helped. Might break out the trekking pole-as-cane today. I'm so very frustrated. Especially since 8 weeks of no exercise means I can't sign up for ice skating this winter. I'm just glad I hadn't booked a mountaineering trip to Ecuador (or ice climbing in Mt), bc that's right out. I can't even go to aerial acrobatics, let alone trampoline, which had become my weekly treat. For now it's all v-ups and pushups and pullups. *sighs* It also dawned on me this morning that I probably can't keep my new navel piercing in during an MRI; if that goes away bc of this MRI, I'm going to be SO pissed. I need to find something shiny to distract myself from all this. Current Mood: bummed |

How'd I forget sequels always suck?
It's a pity I haven't been able to chase down my review of Freakonomics from my pop-econ period, bc I remember loving the book and after reading the sequel, I wonder how that could be. I'm not sure if I'm that more knowledgeable about economics these days or if they dumbed it down: I'm pretty sure it's the latter. They immediately break the fourth wall, acknowledging this book will also be a best seller, and then proceed with a rapid fire discussion of topics you've heard about elsewhere: the birth month bulge, the Milgram experiment, hand washing and puerpal fever, monkey prostitution, etc. As a friend, I highly recommend you skip this one. That said, I hope lots of other, more ignorant people read it bc it provides some interesting statistics on cancer. ( rant on end of life care )I also like that Dubner and Levitt provide actual statistics to back up a remark from my fave Gulf War 1 vet: in the two wars we've fought between 2002 to 2008, there was an average of 1643 fatalities per year; over a similar period in the early 80s (i.e. peace time), we had more than 2100 military deaths per year. The accidental death rate for soldiers in the early 1980s was higher than the death rate by hostile fire for every year the US has been fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. So yeah, other people, not my cool friends who already know this stuff, should read the book. ( other interesting things from the book so you don't have to buy it ) 'course, to read about that, you have to get past verbal stupidity like the line where they talk about the "beautiful mind of John Nash" or this is the x that fooed the bar that Jack built. ugh. My favorite part of the book was the discussion of Nathan Myhrvold; I've decided when I grow up, I want to be him: "nature photographer, chef, mt climber, and a collector of rare books, rocket engines, antique scientific equipment, and, especially, dinosaur bones: he is co-leader of a project that has dug up more T. rex skeletons than anyone else in the world." Which must mean he's spent a lot of time in Montana, bc I think most T. rex come from that state. I wonder where he's climbed - I looked everywhere and couldn't figure it out and I wonder if he's an actual climber or if he's basically relied on his guides. Maybe he also went to hang out with dinosaurs before he climbed Grand Teton, in which case, I'm halfway there ;) By far the most controversial part of the book is the chapter on global warming. I don't have a strong enough background to weigh in on their remarks, however I found it interesting though that they cited an article about how a higher CO2 environment is better for trees. (Oh yes, I like that they cite things, unlike, oh, Malcolm Gladwell.) However, they also discuss cheap ways of changing the environment, like floaties that will warm locally change ocean temperature to decrease the likelihood of hurricanes or piping greenhouse gases into a higher level of the atmosphere to create a shield to cool the planet. How crazy do you have to be to think that messing with a system we don't understand is good idea?? |

Two nights at the library plus
 Mon night was the NY Public Library gala; they raised $2.7M in one night. I'm told the kids' party money goes to new acquisitions, which is made of squee. ( Read more... )Ironically, the forum with Nassim Taleb, Indra Nooyi, Niall Ferguson, and eventually Eric Schmidt was in the exact same room the next day. heh. ( Read more... ) All in all, a fabulous presentation, one of the most interesting talks I've been to all year. I have the best sister in the world. She finagled me a spot at dinner last night with Niall Ferguson at the jr. conservatives club. Needless to say, I had very high expectations for his prepared remarks. Unfortunately it turned out so many of his talking points that I'd found so thrilling the night before turned out to be little bits of his standard dog-and-pony show. I get the feeling he wrote The Ascent of Money bc he likes economic history and realized he could sell it better as an extended "how we got into this mess". Evil English may have a point about his style being some sort of British confrontational intellectualism. I bought a copy - it's now out in trade paperback thank goodness - and got him to sign it, which is problematic bc how can I read it now? ( What I ate )The conversation was lively although I think those folks are a little too conservative for me. The thing that bothered me most about Ferguson's remarks was that he claims that until June '09, all the economic indicators exactly paralleled the ones from the Great Depression, which was averted through government intervention, but he later concludes that we shouldn't have any more intervention and the problem is no one has the credibility to say, "no really, no more bailouts." *le sighs* Tonight I'm going back to the Upper East to hear some hedgehog; I assume he too will discuss the current unpleasantness. It'll be my seventh night out in a row, which I think is a bit much for even a gregarious introvert. But so worth it. |
