This place no longer exists. It was demolished not too long after we shot there. Thanks to Midori for making us fly out to San Francisco to shoot in it before it was gone. Shattered windows, marginally safe flooring (at best), exposed beams and desolate, wide open vista. It was our kind of place! I have to give props to Katie for shooting dressed as she was because it was bloody cold there!

This is a classic example of how to go with the flow when your first idea fails. We all loved the idea of suspending Katie in that lovely corset she brought but after I got her up, it was just too damned uncomfortable to work with, what with it compressing her diaphragm too much and cutting into her sides in a very bad way. So, off with the corset, on with more rope and take two was a success! Not only that but I hoisted myself up and we played side-by-side in mid-air. It was so much fun!

I can’t emphasize too much how important it was for Katie to allow herself to have fun in bondage. She’d gotten so used to doing rope for Website content and being told what to do and how to feel and how to look that bondage ceased being something she enjoyed. I am proud that Michele and I were able to reach that buried part of her and bring it to the surface. And I thank her for helping me strengthen my confidence as a rope top.

I hope we can find common ground in the future so that we can all share more.
