I saw these suits mentioned on twitter a while back, and arranged to have one delivered whilst I was out in California recently (hey, it saves on shipping!). They look and feel great :)
SF Armory: kink.com
I can heartily recommend a trip around the SF Armory home of kink.com if you ever find yourself in San Francisco. You can get to see not only the sets that are the home of divinebitches.com, boundgods.com and the like, but also the amazing drill court. If you were watching the live cams on theupperfloor.com on Thursday evening you may even have seen me :)
Update 30/8/11: if you use the code “KinkFriend50” you’ll get 50% off if you want to go yourself. Not sure how long the offer if valid for though.
Army rubber gear
I was in San Francisco last week and as my return flight was horribly delayed I had an unexpected extra day in the city and decided to head up to the Marin Headlands to take a look at the old Nike missile site there. The missiles were liquid fueled with red fuming nitric acid & unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine both are which are horrid, so the launch crews had to wear full-body rubber suits and respirators.
Now, I’m not normally one for this sort of gear but I have to say they looked pretty hot :)
Marshall Allman Puppy Play
If you follow True Blood, you’ll know a couple of the characters can “shape-shift” into dogs. One of their characters, Marshall Allman, seems to have decided to demonstrate puppy play…
Rope tutorials
Although life moves on, I didn’t want some of the lovely rope tutorials I did for my old company to be lost forever so I’ve imported them into this blog and you can find them all under the tutorials category. Hopefully I’ll do some more too :)
Closing a business, starting anew
It’s been a really difficult decision but I’m closing my rope business, Warped Rope. It’s been a great year in business and we’ve been able to make lots of fabulous hemp rope and meet awesome people. However I’ve found myself unable to devote as much time as I should to it which is unfair on our customers. This was only likely to get worse in the future. I still love making and using rope so friends and family can still get their fixes :)
I’d like to thank friends, family, my amazing accountant and everyone at Master U who really help us out. Couldn’t have done it without you.
A winning combination
Had a boy over at the weekend that we’d not seen for a while and had a lovely session. Here he is decked out in the winning combination of a Master U hood, breathe-thru gag and heavy metal collar. And some rope, obviously :)
On pansexuality
I was teased at a recent party about me new-found fondness for describing myself as pansexual – which is apparently the hipster word for being bi. I had girlfriends when I was younger and then I moved on and found myself preferring gentlemen rather than ladies as time progressed, but if I’m honest I never really saw the massive attraction of cock.
Within the last couple of years I’ve found myself attracted to ladies once again, although I’d describe it as more of a fetish in that I really get off on femdom scenes (something about forced-bi, albeit in an unconventional sense) and cute girlies in latex attire. I certainly don’t want to live with a girl (the ability to share clothing with my other half is awesome) but at the same time I’m not as repulsed as your common-or-garden variety of gay might be. Maybe everyone’s sexuality is a little fluid and that as time’s arrow marches inexorably forward tastes can change.
Pansexual might be a word that only a douche would use but it does seem to sum me up at the moment. Sorry.
New site
It’s been a painful few days but I’ve finally managed to port over an old Movable Type site over to something less shit. Most things have come across just fine but there’s the occasional broken image as I’ve stopped using an older piece of gallery software as well.
Hate mail, praise and questions all welcome. And I promise to blog a bit more too. Honest.

Queer Erotic Drawing: QED
I had the pleasure of my first public rope performance at Master U’s Queer Erotic Drawing series a couple of weeks ago.
Despite having a really dreadful cold I had a lot of fun and whilst I’d certainly tweak things for anything similar in the future I was fairly pleased with how it went and I think the artists enjoyed it too.
If you’re an artist and enjoy life drawing with a twist I’d certainly recommend any of the other days in the series.
