This was from my last day in NYC hanging out with Dov and Bridgett...

Monday i ended up doing a late evening photo shoot (which was suppose to be a all day photo shoot, but had communication problems, but still fun never the less) with Bridgett from RopeLover.com. So we did a 3 hours of suspension shoots for knotfair.com which should be up soon I think there going to come out good, it was a really fun shoot...

Then me, Bridgett and Dov went off to the Columbia college's Conversio Virium, a student BDSM support group. Dov was their presenter, and me and Bridgett tagged along [bridgett to be the good looking peanut gallery, me to be the kool looking freak rope master with mirrorsahdes and white socks! ==B) ]. So were on the L talking about my Shibari Shikago / drive by bondage ideas of photographing bondage in public and i know Bridgett was all up for that and so was I. So we were talking about doing that some time, while we were sitting in a empty train car....what wrong here ... why are we talking about this when we should be doing it! So i told Bridgett, lets do it! And we did, i did a couple 3 mins ties to her, and Dov took some photos. It was really fun!

I did a quick semi suspension to her in the train car, it looks empty, but there were 1 or 2 people in the car you cant see much behind us, who were very amused!

Then when we were finishing up, like 10 more people got on, as you can see in shot 15 with me and Bridgett vegging out

Time to get off and go to our next train, but i left the chest harness on her. Every once in a while i would see someone notice, and either have a look of confusion, or a smile of joy. Now its rush hour in the train platform, with packed trains, and we arrive on a crowded platforms. And when we got to out next platform, it reminded me of Tokyo, just with about 50% fewer Asians...so i started tying up Bridgett in front of everyone on the platform with an larkshead armbinder, and people are looking confused, got scared and back away from me... it was like a force field went up and everyone got pushed back 10 feet. I put a arm binder on her so her arms would be bound, but she could still drag her suitcase behind her, i sure didn't want to lug around another heavy bag! And everyone just started watching us, as Dov takes photos.

And that old [Indian] couple asking,
"Why are you tying that girl up?"
"Mm It's an ART thing (insert large friendly honest smile here)"
"Ooooohhh A happening (If you don't know what that is your not old enough)"
"Oh Absolutely"
********

So now people are getting neck whiplash everywhere, especially the asian women getting off trains. It was really, really funny! So we get on the next train, and everyone notices but tries not to look any of us in the face. And eventually Bridgett sits down in the middle of the car and me and Dov are still in the doorway. The enxt stop the car gets packed and over the crowd on the train we hear Bridgett having a Q&A session with other girls on the train! so fucking funny!
Q: "Whats is that?"
A: "Rope Bondage"
Q: "doesn't that hurt?"
A: "ohh no, its quite comfortable, i love it!" etc.

The more telling period about NY i think was the last part of the trip up to the Columbia stop with everyone just not even really registering her as tied and then walking up the stairs to the street. We got to the top in front of the gates and this very very cute blond (Virgil says she must be a barnard student) turns to me and says
"you guys are looking for Hamilton hall right?"
I just looked and said "ummm yes we are how did you know."
"It's the rope", she replied smiled and walked off.

So then we get off the train, at Columbia, go to our meeting there, and Dov teaches his bondage class, Bridgett ties herself to a chair, and I stand there organizing my rope, wearing my shades, standing in my white socks, which proves I AM a Japanese rope bondage master!!! (inside joke, I am sure a lot of you will get it) while were teaching a bunch of college students how to tie people up! Can you say priceless! And then me vegging out eating some peanut butter or something the kids gave me.
