So last night was the opening for Nancy Peach’s exhibit “Unspoken Bond” which was a series of oil paintings of Madison Young in my ropes.

Now Nancy & I decided to not meet one another till the opening. We discussed what was wanted for her reference images and that was it. Lydia photographed Madison & I and turned over the images. I also didn’t want to see which images Nancy chose to paint.

Well, last night I arrived at the gallery to find Nancy dancing at the top of the stairs waiting for me to arrive, along with my beautiful wife Janice & a very sexy house guest K. We kissed, made pleasantries and entered the gallery together. WOW, it is not often I am left speechless but I still cant find the words to describe an 8 foot painting of myself. I will just say I am humbled……

Not sure who was filming but we also did a performance last night with video hired by the artist, Nancy Peach, who painted the 8 foot painting of Madison & I. As soon as I get footage & images from our performance “Blind Faith” I will post them.

Here are the paintings Nancy did form photographs of Madison & I that are on exhibit at the Center for Sex & Culture.

Here are a couple of the photos she worked off of by Lydia.

You can find more of my rope art on my site Kirinawa.com

HOGTIED.COM FEATURES PORN LEGEND KYLIE IRELAND

Adult Legend Submits to Tight Bondage and Amazing Orgasms

SAN FRANCISCO (November 25, 2008) – Fans of bondage should give thanks this week, as bondage website Hogtied.com welcomes adult legend Kylie Ireland for her first appearance on the site in a hardcore bondage scene with Hogtied guest director, Matt Williams.

“I’ve had a lot of people asking when I was going to come and do this,” said Ireland. “When I started mentioning it on my website and on my MySpace page, I got a lot of feedback. So I’m hoping everybody’ll dig it, and think it’s really cool — because I had a blast!”

Ireland decided to shoot with the San Francisco-based Kink.com, which produces Hogtied, due to her own interest in BDSM as well as at the urging of WiredPussy.com director Princess Donna and Kink.com regulars including Mark Davis and Derrick Pierce. “A lot of the stuff I direct is bondage related,” said Ireland, “and the girls will tell me what they’ve been doing up here; I’ve just been hearing so much about Kink.com.”

The Hogtied.com scene was Ireland’s first on-camera bondage experience, having been shot this summer just before her August appearance with Mark Davis on SexAndSubmission.com. In the 71-minute scene, Ireland submits to the hands of former site director Williams, who recently relinquished the directorial reins at Hogtied to Lochai, an award-winning fine art bondage photographer, educator and rigger.  In one of his last shoots as the site’s director, Williams made sure to give Ireland a memorable experience. After being bound, gagged, clamped, spanked, whipped, fingered, vibrated, and double-penetrated by enormous dildos, Ireland showed her appreciation with countless explosive orgasms, in keeping with her legendary abilities and star power.

Ireland burst onto the scene in 1994, winning AVN’s Best New Starlet award, back-to-back Fan Favorite FOXE awards, and being named one of Playboy’s top 10 porn stars for 1997. She was again honored by being listed by AVN among the top 50 porn stars of all time in 2001, and inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2005. Now the veteran of over 400 adult movies as well as being a seasoned director, Ireland has also appeared in mainstream projects like Tales from the Crypt and Strange Days.

Kink.com CEO Peter Acworth

Recently I [Catalina] interviewed Kink.com CEO Peter Acworth. I think the man is an absolutely kinky genius and I have a huge crush on him. I watched the documentary on BehindKink.com and I read an extensive article written about my favorite CEO in the New York Times and then I came up with a few questions of my own:

You’ve mentioned that acquiring the Armory was like your idea of a bondage fantasy neverneverland, where the rules of normal society are overridden by the rules of the BDSM society. After getting all unpacked and moved in, does it still feel like a fantasy neverneverland? Have you found it restraining or confining that it is a historical site?

The Armory feels like a dream come true. Bondage literature such as “The Story of O”, “Exit to Eden”, and the “Sleeping Beauty” series by Anne Rice always seem to revolve around a central place where the BDSM rules of dominance and submission preside. This space is usually depicted as a castle, and so when we were looking to relocate Kink.com’s central offices, the fact that there was an affordable castle that had been vacant for 30 years in the middle of fetish capital San Francisco felt like nothing less than divine intervention.

I think people are somewhat surprised by how ‘normal’ things seem. We have sexual harassment training, executive strategic retreats, benefits like 401K, annual reviews and all-hands presentations just like any company our size. So if you were to come to see us work at the Armory, you might be disappointed by a somewhat corporate feel to the place. However, as we build our various sets, the space is fast becoming an adult playground. This is especially true in the basement which is becoming a myriad of various dungeons and fantasy rooms.

I am very excited by our 4th floor development. This will be a space that we are calling “Roissy” (from the Story of O), and it will be a 24×7 live reality show set in the Edwardian era, which was a period of decadence following the oppressive reign of Queen Victoria. The idea is to reproduce the ‘Great House’ structure depicted in films like “Remains of the Day” where masters, mistresses and servants live in a tightly regimented regime. We will invite BDSM lifestyle players to interact in this world, and interact with our customers in this perpetual interactive live show.

The Armory dates from exactly this Edwardian era, so the historical nature of the Armory does nothing but add to the mystique surrounding this idea. The Armory is not only Kink.com’s home – it also serves as a wonderful branding tool.

In the documentary on BehindKink.com, a lot of the people who work at Kink.com mention that they are inspired to be as creative as they can be and most mention having learned more on the job than they could have ever imagined. Do you see Kink.com as a revolutionary company where people actually like to go to work? Was this part of your plan from the beginning, to create an environment where people were encouraged to grow, think, and use their educations?

I think that we provide a work environment which stands by our mission statement and is very all inclusive. For instance, its absolutely fine to be gay, transgendered, or to paint your hair red or have lots of tattoos, and to really be who you are. I can’t imagine life any differently, and I sometimes get a rude awakening when friends remind about life inside investment banks, where, heaven forbid, I once considered working.

We also feel passionately that a product line should come from an individual’s actual fantasies. Since we have an open policy about new product proposals, this encourages employees to be creative and, necessarily, to be open about their sexualities. This atmosphere sometimes creates some challenges for our HR team, but I think it is very healthy and motivating.

You’ve said that you essentially saw a good idea and ripped it off – the idea to sell porn on the internet from a firefighter and the name Hogtied from the magazine Hogtie. It seems to me that a lot of other companies are doing the same to Kink.com, at least trying to rip off the Kink.com model. How do you feel about that?

I find it flattering and it doesn’t bother me (indeed, how could it? That would certainly be hypocritical of me). Companies have and will copy our basic business model and I hope they continue to do so. The fact is that all people who produce quality BDSM material generally share a common interest in the subject matter. I can’t speak for everyone in the industry, but I feel an affinity to others in the business. Additionally, a prevalence of good BDSM material indicates a general recognition and acceptance that the BDSM fantasies are healthy, common, and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I.e. I feel that more successful companies like kink.com serve to further demystify alternative sexualities which, in turn, serves all of us.

On a business level, I think we are sufficiently ahead of the competition to be the ‘place to watch’ for innovation for the next decade. While companies may copy our basic style of producing content, I think we are ahead of the game with our fresh content lines and our ideas for community and interactive live shows, such as Roissy.

Obviously Hogtied.com is your “baby” and though you’ve had several guest directors, really it’s been you and then Matt as the visionaries. How do you see Lochai fitting into your vision for Hogtied.com? Did you choose him in part because you appreciate the aesthetic of his rope bondage? It seems to me that you are incorporating the artistic side of bondage with the hardcore domination reputation of Hogtied.com. How did you come to your decision?

I interviewed Lochai for a different project named “Bondage Trials” about 4 years ago. At that time I was very impressed with his ropework and sense of detail and aesthetic. I am extremely pleased that he has chosen to join us to take on Hogtied.com! The beauty of BDSM is that everyone has a different style. Lochai is a fabulously talented rigger with a unique style, and I think he will be another great addition to the team.

How has Kink weathered the 2257 maelstrom, and do you think a change in administration will loosen things up?

Like many companies, we were caught up in the frenzy of panic that engulfed the industry during the Bush Administration. There was a period when the 2257 law was changing so frequently that it was difficult to keep up, and we had several staff members doing nothing but working on compliance.

Luckily, we had always been diligent and kept our records clean, and we are large enough to have a properly indexed database which could keep up with the changes in the law. It was very sad to see some BDSM websites close down because the burden of record keeping was too onerous. Recently though, the 2257 law has been deemed unconstitutional by the 6th circuit. My hope is that the law will get rewritten in a format which is sensible, and that there will be reasonable regulation to ensure minors are not depicted without having a chilling effect on free speech.

Thank you, Peter, for making some time for me! Best of luck to Lochai, who begins his new job today at Hogtied.com.

So clearly they are a long way from home on either coast and NYC, but I bring up New York City because I know that Lochai would proudly support the NYC Sex Bloggers Calendar.  12 of New York’s best sex writers and educators are producing a pin-up/burlesque themed calendar to support Audacia Ray’s Sex Work Awareness Project.  You have an opportunity to “buy a day.” For more information go to sexbloggercalendar.wordpress.com.

Company Hosts Stars, Riggers, Directors At Legendary BDSM Lifestyle Event

SAN FRANCISCO (September 18, 2008) – San Francisco fetish erotica studio Kink.com today announced a recruitment drive and series of demonstrations at its booth at the 25th Annual Folsom Street Fair on Sunday, September 28. Attendees to the Sunday street fair, which celebrates the BDSM lifestyle and sexual diversity for all orientations, will get a chance to see Kink.com directors Van Darkholme, Isis Love, Princess Donna and Lochai, expert rigger Lew Rubens and porn stars LaCherry Spice, Natassia Dream, Wolf Hudson and Nick Moretti. and

New Kink.com director Van Darkholme will be in attendance to promote and recruit for his site BoundGods.com, demonstrating the finer points of bondage and punishment on Wolf Hudson and Nick Moretti.

“This is a really important chance for us to meet up with some new models,” said Darkholme. “The leather community is full of hot, kinky guys who are curious about appearing on camera, but haven’t made that step yet. This gives them a chance to get to know us and for us to make contact with them.”

Lochai, the recently-hired director of Hogtied.com, and Lew Rubens, Kink.com’s Bondage Consultant, will be performing demos at the fair. Both men are among the best-known bondage riggers in the BDSM community, and are sought-after educators.

TS superstars LaCherry Spice and Natassia Dream will be also be in attendance on behalf of transsexual domination site TSSeduction.com, meeting and greeting throughout the day, posing for pictures and recruiting male bottoms and transsexual female tops for the site.

“Natassia and LaCherry really want to meet their fans – that’s really important to them,” said TSSeduction.com director Isis Love. “This gives the fans an opportunity to meet two of the world’s most gorgeous transwomen looking totally fine in latex! We’ll be doing recruitment both for TS tops and male bottoms – we love having new talent at TS Seduction, and this lets us get out there in the community and find the super hot trannies and the guys-next-door who really want to know what the site is all about.”

A prolific performer as well as a director, Isis Love will also be in attendance signing autographs and posing for photos, and she admits she’s likely to do spontaneous demos. “Sure, I’ll probably spank some people,” she said.

WiredPussy.com director and frequent performer Princess Donna will be at the booth promoting her new public sex and bondage site PublicDisgrace.com, which launches October 1 — just a few days after the Fair. In addition to greeting fans, Donna will be performing a demonstration of the kind of public bondage and punishment viewers of her new site can expect.

“Public Disgrace features hardcore, explicit sex, which we won’t be doing at the Folsom booth,” she says. “But we’ll still have plenty of fun.”

Said Kink.com founder and CEO Peter Acworth: “Folsom Street Fair is the #1 holiday of the San Francisco fetish community, so we look forward to it every year. This will be a chance for Kink.com to get out there, meet our fans and let everybody see what we’re like in person.”

The Folsom Street Fair began in the early 1980s as a predominantly gay male street fair held on Folsom Street, which had been the center of San Francisco’s gay leather culture since the 1960s. Now in its 25th year, the Fair attracts approximately 400,000 visitors of all genders and orientations from all over the world. The proceeds of the Fair, over $300,000 in 2006, are donated to qualified local charities. Folsom Street affiliated events are now held in Berlin, Toronto, and New York City.

Folsom Street Fair is held from 11am to 6pm Sunday, September 28 on Folsom Street from 7th to 12th Streets in San Francisco. The final schedule of appearances at the Kink.com booth will be posted on the forum pages at www.Kink.com a few days before the event, and more information about the Fair can be found at FolsomStreetFair.com.

Additionally, tours of kink.com’s San Francisco Armory will be offered the Saturday before the Fair for visiting press. Journalists interested in touring the building should contact the Kink.com Public Relations Manager at thomas@kink.com.

First stop, Atlanta!  Well, that’s a very ambitious goal since they are getting a late start and it’s a 10-hour drive in best case traffic and weather.  I betcha they stop somewhere else tonight and get an early start tomorrow morning.  Like I told him, either way you might as well head out, there’s no sense spending the night in an empty house – find a nice hotel and enjoy having the luxuries in life, like a bed and towels.

Please leave a comment and send your good wishes for a very safe trip!

Welcome Charley Chase to her Hogtied debut. Charley is beautiful, tan, and has the most incredible natural breasts we have ever seen. All this wrapped up in the hottest 20 y/o body on the planet.

Charley has a talent too! She can have multiple orgasms one after the other. At first you think she can just keep going forever and she is all happy and smiles, but after the 20th she begins to see her talent as a curse as each orgasm, begins to get painful and more intense.

We make Charley cum until she is almost unconscious, we have never seen any one cum so HARD and OFTEN. Unable to even catch her breath she begs for it to stop, begs while she continues to suffer yet more orgasms. She almost can’t find the breath to beg as her body betrays her, refusing to stop cumming, and cumming and cum……

This is the shoot where her teeth go numb…

Lochai Working At Hogtied.com

The following was originally posted at Behind Kink. Watch the announcement video here.

As soon as Matt Williams announced that he would be stepping down as the Director of Hogtied.com in order to make time for his new role as Creative Director, the task of finding a qualified replacement became the company’s number one priority. After a careful search and audition process, Kink.com has officially extended the offer to award-winning fine art bondage photographer and rigger Lochai.

“Hogtied was our first site and we still consider it our flagship,” said Kink.com founder and CEO Peter Acworth. “We’re very pleased to bring Lochai on to continue the Hogtied tradition. He’s one of the best-known bondage riggers around and for years he’s been out there in the community, both as a photographer and as an educator. Most importantly, he really gets what’s fun and beautiful and hot about women in bondage — he understands the Kink.com aesthetic. I’m very much looking forward to working with him.”

Lochai’s inaugural Hogtied update, a sizzling 56-minute scene featuring 22-year-old beauty Isobel Wren, was shot last month when he was auditioning for his new role. In it, Wren is placed in Lochai’s trademark Japanese-influenced rope bondage and subjected to a stunning number of screaming orgasms, including a copious squirt. Throughout, Lochai’s sardonic humor tempers the intense bondage and stimulation.

Lochai observes: “Everything that’s done in any of the Kink.com sites is real, so it’s not like I’m acting a part. I’m actually being myself. I’m sarcastic, I’m a smart ass, I laugh during scenes and I also console when someone’s upset. I’m going to be doing my real play, my real life, within the walls of the Armory because that’s what’s expected by the customers — and that’s what’s expected by Kink.com. I’m going to be super comfortable there, because I feel like I’m home.”

A longtime Florida resident, Lochai will be relocating to the San Francisco area in September in order to be close to Kink.com. He says he’ll continue his work teaching bondage and SM lifestyle classes, both at the half-dozen conferences he traditionally attends annually, and in the San Francisco area.

Lochai expressed great enthusiasm about being offered the position. “Every person who’s ever sat down in front of me in a classroom, or who has surrounded me out in a club to watch what I’m doing, has wanted this job. They want to get paid to tie up beautiful women and get them off — and that’s my job. It’s a wonderful feeling, and an affirmation that my kink pays off.”
