On Saturday we shot with Ginger Higgins for the second time in just 2 weeks. Ginger is off school for the summer, so we plan on shooting with her as much as we can. This time we shot 4 more photo sets plus an original short story video for the Bondage Warehouse. We also shot a little behind the scenes video. We actually shot more than “a little” behind-the-scenes footage, but we had an operator-error problem with the camera that we didn’t realize until later, so the electrical tape scene isn’t on video 🙁 Don’t worry, we’ll bring her back soon and get some more! | |

An old friend stops by …
Long-time members will remember Renee Rose from numerous videos from the early and middle years of Imago Studios. We’ve kept in touch since she’s moved, and recently she let us know that she and her family would be popping back into Vegas for a short visit. They ended up staying in our casita for a week just before we went on our vacation, so we got a chance to visit and hang out, laughing about “the old days.” It’s always nice to see old friends!
Cody Blue
| Earlier this week we worked with Cody Blue for the first time in several weeks. We almost missed working with her because she overslept and arrived quite late. Of course we used her tardiness as an excuse to tie poor Cody extra tight!! And we managed to get most of that on video (almost 20 minutes worth) for an upcoming behind the scenes update. We also shot 5 more photo sets and, well, to be honest, had a great time tying up a very sexy young lady who also happens to enjoy being on the receiving end! – LOL |

Ginger Higgins
| On Sunday we worked with Ginger Higgins. We don’t know what has been up with our models lately, but (in our humble opinion) Ginger looked as beautiful as she ever has. Maybe Vegas is putting something in the water! 🙂 This was the first time we had seen Ginger in a few months as she has been busy with school. But now that summer is here, we hope to work with her more often. This time around we shot four photo sets plus an original short story video for the Bondage Warehouse (not pictured below). We also shot a some good behind the scenes video for the members’ area. And best of all, we scheduled Ginger to come back in just a few short weeks. |

Avalon Sieva’s Second Visit
| On Thursday we worked with Avalon Sieva for the second time. Now it has been less than two weeks since Avalon’s first visit, but given this young lady’s stunning beauty and friendly personality, who could blame us for bringing her back so quickly! This time around we shot six photo sets plus an original short story video for the Bondage Warehouse (not pictured below). We also shot a good behind the scenes video of the tape bondage scene pictured below. Besides her looks, the other great thing about Avalon is that she makes it perfectly clear that she is having fun. She particularly enjoys doing video and the opportunity to act. We are very impressed by this young lady and we truly hope she becomes one of our regulars for years to come. |

Yania Fernandez – looking fabulous!
| Earlier this week we worked with Yania Fernandez for the first time in several weeks. We don’t know what this girl has been doing over that time period, but this time she looked absolutely amazing! She went from being incredibly beautiful to just out of this world sexy. When we opened the door, she was standing there in the long flower dress you see below. Both our jaws just about hit the floor! We shot 6 photo sets plus another original short story video for the Bondage Warehouse. This one features Yania wearing a short leather skirt, dark stocking, heels and a satin blouse!!!
Yania has a lot of traveling planned for the summer, but we warned her that we plan to nab her between trips, so look for more from this beautiful young lady in the coming months. |

Aurora Parker’s Weekend Long Shoot
| Aurora Parker came in for another weekend long visit. Aurora is one of our best models and one of our favorite people. She is an all around sweet person and we think very highly of her. We definitely consider her a friend first and a model second. It was the first time we had worked with Aurora in several months and she looked incredible. She has always been beautiful, but this time she looked sexy (and we mean SEXY!! – see the leather corset/blue jeans sample pic below as proof). We shot a total of 13 photo sets that were quite varied and included some D.I.D. series, some hair bondage, feet & toe ties, pantyhose and tape bondage (and a silly “Hello Kitty” duct tape set – Aurora loved it!). As we have mentioned before, Aurora is an exceptionaly quiet person, so we don’t shoot feature video with her, but this time we did get a little behind the scenes video. We also went out for two great dinners (including another visit to our favorite Indian resteraunt) and had an all around fun time. | |

What We are Up To Currently
Aurora Parker was here over the weekend for two full days of shooting. Yesterday we worked with Yania Fernandez. Tomorrow we have another shoot scheduled and more over the weekend. We are currently editing photos for a behind the scenes update of Avalon Sieva’s first visit. We will try and get a blog entry on Aurora’s visit up later today and one for Yania before the weekend.
Behind-the-Scenes Hits a new milestone!
With the most recent updates, the number of videos in the behind-the-scenes section in the members’ area now exceeds 500. Added to the members’ area just over 10 years ago, the behind-the-scenes section is the largest and probably the most popular section of the site. We actually have no idea how many hours of video are in the BTS, but a very rough guess puts it somewhere between 50 and 100 hours. In July of last year, we started shooting the BTS videos in high quality HD, so about the last 70 videos are incredible to look at. There are also over 6000 photos in the BTS section. But it is the video that we think is truly unique. Much of it shows our models having fun , talking about their bondage experience, playing escape games or just being themselves during photo shoots.
Meet New Model Ava Rivas
| This past weekend we worked with another new model Ava Rivas. As you can see, Ava is a very beautiful and sweet young woman with this incredible long curly hair. Ava is also completely new to bondage – and when we say completely, we mean completely. When we first approached her about modeling for us, she had to ask a friend what bondage was! We shot five photo sets, including two with Ava’s hair tied – with hiar like hers, how could we resist! 🙂 We also shot a little behind the scenes video. When the day was done, Ava had said she found the experience very interesting and she would like to shoot again. | |

Meet New Model Avalon Sieva
 |
Earlier today we worked with new model Avalon Sieva. Sometimes you know a new model is going to be good within just a few minutes of her walking through the door, and that was the feeling we had with Avalon. This very beautiful young lady handled herself like a true professional from the first time we spoke with her. Outgoing, friendly and definitely posessing more than just a little interest in bondage (although she claims to have never been tied up before), Avalon was relaxed and having fun right from the start. We did a couple of fairly challenging positions which she seemed to enjoy, so next time might be even more fun! She said she was taking note of how we tied her because she had something planned for later that evening … hm 🙂
We shot 6 photo sets and quite a bit of behind of the scenes video that will appear later in the members area. The day went so well, we scheduled Avalon for her next shoot in less than 2 weeks. |

Lächeln Lorieau
 |
Earlier this week Lächeln Lorieau came into town for another visit. Lächeln is quickly becoming one of our favorites, and not just because she is beautiful. We also love her highly professional attitude and her easy going manner. We are also beginning to notice we get a lot of very cool material with her that is bit different from we normally shoot. In this respect, she is similar to Aurora Parker, another one of our favorites who we also get very interesting results with. This time around it was just a one day shoot, though she did crash that night with us. We did 6 very good photo sets and shot some more behind the scenes video. One of the sets was a mummification that Dianne wanted to do as a warm up to the class we are teaching at ShibariCon on Monday. Lächeln plans on doing some traveling over the summer, so we may not see her for a while 🙁 | |

Veronica Chase Returns
 |
We mentioned we were going to work with Veronica Chase again and this past weekend it happened. It has been almost 2 years since we worked with Veronica, and that time it was with her daughter Callie who has also modeled for us. As you can see, Veronica still looks great. We shot 4 photo sets and Veronica was obviously having fun. And to answer the question you are all wondering, no, it is unlikely we will see Callie anytime soon as she is busy with medical school. | |

Rebecca Mosley Returns
 |
Last week we worked with the lovely Rebecca Mosley for just the second time. We had tried getting Rebecca in sooner (she last worked in September), but unfortunately she had to cancel because of illness. But it was worth the wait. Rebecca looked great and was highly ethusiastic about being back. We shot 5 photo sets and some good behind the scenes video. It was great having her back – she’s a very personable young lady with a great sense of style. She unfortunately recently lost a lot of her wardrobe so we had a great deal of fun putting together outfits that she would never normally wear 🙂 | |

Chinese Rope Art
We are headed out to Chicago soon for Shibaricon, and in preparation for a class that we will be teaching on Chinese-style bondage, we have been shooting step-by-step sets for the tutorial handouts. Well, we ended up with so many variations, we decided the best way to display the information is on a website, hence the opening of our Chinese bondage tutorial www.chineseropeart.com. Take a look and let us know what you think – clear? interesting? any suggestions?
