Wait ’till moonrise,

There are a lot of great sources for information on rope bondage; websites, on line tutorials, videos , books and so on. However they are scattered everywhere and finding them is often an overwhelming task. This is where BeKnotty.com comes into play. The goal of Beknotty.com is to be a resource to help you find and share that information. A place where you can look up Shinju, find a list of links to sites that have tutorials, read what other users have to say about that particular tie, and join in the discussion if you want.

Many others have tried to maintain lists of sites, but this is not a job for only one person. By utilizing a wiki the knowledge can be updated and added to by the community. Beknotty.com can reach its goal of being a
resource for the community only if the community works on it together. Please feel free to help with content, and of course spread the word about Beknotty.

right now Beknotty.com holds very little direct content, but as it grows, tutorials and other useful rope bondage information will become directly hosted.

After reading this thread Arrested for BDSM I posted this up in BDSM and the Law group..

Now that I think of it, I don’t want this lost.. so adding it to my writing.

Where this comes into applicability the most is where you have a scene interrupted by law enforcement. I was once told let your sub/bottom etc.. do the talking as she will be seen as the victim. But now after watching these, I think the modification would be. They do the talking, and all they say is, there is no issue and talk to our lawyer for the rest.

The photo bug has come back..

I was discouraged by lack of place to shoot in.  Apt was just too small.  Well a light bulb turned on and I figure out how to rearrange my apt so that I would have a very nice area to shoot in.

I did all that rearranging , and now starting to feel excited about it.

Last week I signed up on ModelMayhem   (www.modelmayhem.com/riggerjay), the profile is weak, need to flush it out, but it is there.

On weekend I bought backdrop stands and a 9 foot wide one sheet in a reddish/rustish color for backdrop.

A shot I did some time ago of a couple kissing in rope is wanted for a Tarot Deck Project.  Well I can’t get a hold of couple in photo to get Release etc..  so I am looking at recreating a shot like that next week

While at lunch today, I came a cross a very cute girl that was stocking shelves, and gave her my business card, complimented her on her look and said ” if you are interested, I would like to have you model for me” (Waves if you are said girl reading this).

Coming up end of August a friend I met years ago is coming out to visit, much of our time will be spent doing fun stuff with camera, (here,NYC and Montreal)  , check her out on ModelMayhem GoAskAlice

To quote another friend…

I can haz pictures?

Her reaction and this  http://icanhascheezburger.com/ are in sync LOL

When I pick up my koto
A cry of sorrow comes from it.
Is it possible that
in the koto’s hollow

I will be presenting two classes at the up coming Montreal Fetish Weekend

Introduction to Rope with RiggerJay

Rope play has been entering into the spotlight for kink enthusiasts during the past few years; it is even making headway into popular culture. There are lots of great sources online if you know where to look but this can be daunting. RiggerJay, a Boston based rope enthusiast, will help you get going with a hands on course to teach you some basics of rope play and how to stay safe. The main goal of the class is to equip you with new skills that you can take home and make use of right away.

Given the hands on nature of the class, it is recommended that you bring three thirty-foot lengths of rope. Clothesline or something similar from your local home hardware store would work for this class.

“The Great Escape” with RiggerJay

What could be more fun than playing games with rope?! Come to this interactive class and find out just how much rope fun you can have.

Do you like to test your ties against a bottom to see if they are securely bound?

Do you enjoy struggling and wiggling out of rope ties?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this is the class for you! Participate in a series of timed events in which your skills of tying and escaping will be challenged. Much can be learned from taking part in and/or watching others. No prerequisite to attend. Recommended to have an interest in rope, willingness to have fun. Participation not required, watching the games is quite an amusing experience as well!

To participate it is recommended that you bring three or more thirty-foot lengths of rope. Clothesline or something similar from your local home hardware store would work for this class.

This is a “home coming” for me… You see in 1971, I was born in Montreal (Pointe Claire which is a part of actually). I have grown a lot since then. So having a chance to teach in Montreal means a lot.

I do not care if
Our love making is exposed
As the rainbow over

If only I can suck and suck you
