Kashmir, Rest in Peace

Posted on by
If you have watched our videos (especially the early ones), you have seen him often. He was always in the background, usually sleeping. If you are a member of the photo site, he appears often in the behind the scenes section, usually trying to flirt with one of our models.

We got him as a kitten when we lived in upstate NY almost 16 years ago. He was a seal point Himalayan.
From the start, he was not a friendly cat in any sense of the word. In truth, he was down right mean. He would attack you without provocation. His behavior was probably the result of bad breeding, but we had no way of knowing that when we got him – he was just a cute kitten we took home. Before he was even a year old, two veterinarians recommended we put him down. We refused – we were already too attached to him. So they suggested giving him depo-provera (a female hormone) to ‘calm’ him down (this was rural NY where they give DP to male reindeer in the petting zoos to keep them from goring the kids). For a few years, it worked to some extent. He was never affectionate, but you could live with him – though none of our friends would go anywhere near him, usually after incurring his wrath over minor infractions. When we moved to Vegas, the veternarians here were not familar with depo-provera, so they suggested valium. The valium did nothing to alter his fiesty mood, it just made him physically lethargic so you could escape when he tried to attack. Desperate for a solution, we consulted a behavioralist. They suggested giving him a “pet”. So after a lot of thought, we got Midas.

From the moment the two first met, Kashmir took to Midas like a big brother. They were inseparable – Frick & Frack we use to call them. Midas followed Kashmir everywhere. When Kashmir would get agitated (which was often), he would wrestle with Midas and then groom him. Kashmir’s mood mellowed noticably. He still wasn’t a friendly cat, but you could live with him – you just had to give him his space. The only person he truly liked was Dianne. Ray, somewhat affectionately, called him demon spawn. His personality quirks were many. For years, Ray could not sneeze anywhere in the house or Kashmir would stalk and attack him. If one of us did something he didn’t like, he would crap on the bed on the side of the person who had offended him.

        
  But despite all his bad traits, once you got to know him, on some level you just had to respect him. He had more personality than any animal we have ever known. There was nothing wishy washy about him. He was loud and demanding, and expected us to cater to his whims like a petty tyrant. Strangely enough, many of our models loved him – maybe it was just that classic “bad boy” attraction transferred to a cat. Aurora Parker loved to take pictures of him. And he actually liked several models – Maria LaVey, Salem Williams and Holly Everson in particular. Even models he didn’t particularly “like” he would still find a way to flirt with – sashaying into the room to show off his handsomeness and sidling up to them when they were bound. One of the models commented that she had never seen a cat who knew how to “work it” like Kashmir did – classic cat-walk complete with swooshing tail.
     With his quirky personality, you may ask why did we keep him? Partly because we are just crazy cat people and true animal lovers. And he was a presence through several major changes in our lives. When we packed all our belongings into a Ryder truck and left upstate New York for Vegas with no money and no plan for the future, he calmly sat on the dashboard watching all the vehicles go by. He was with us as we found success and happiness in Vegas. He moved with us from our apartment and then two houses, and he accepted the larger accommodations with each move as if it was his due. He actually was affectionate with Dianne when he was in a good mood, as she was the one who tended to his needs and whims on a daily basis. For those who never met him, it’s hard to explain, but when you got a purr out of Kashmir, well, then you knew you had “done good” as he wasn’t generous with his favors.
About 3 years ago he went blind, but he still managed to get around remarkably well. Shortly after that, however, his health began to deteriorate. Eventually he began to lose control of his body functions. We tore out the carpet and replaced it with tile. We got a new sofa, then another. Still he hung on. Still feisty, still ornery. He lived life his way and on his own terms, all the way to the end. Late last week, fragile, weak and unable to eat, that end came. As one of our friends said when we told her the sad news, he couldn’t have hoped to have any better pet humans than us.

Rest in peace, our little fur man.

Yania Fernandez – Oh My My!!

Posted on by
     On Sunday, we worked with Yania Fernandez. We have worked with Yania several times now, but every time we open the door and see her standing there, all we can say ‘Oh my my!!’ Simply put, Yania is a stunningly beautiful – perhaps the prettiest, straight out sexiest woman we have ever worked with. And that is saying something, because we have worked with some drop dead gorgeous women. In addition, she is incredibly friendly and always handles herself like a true professional.

This time around, we shot 5 photo sets plus another original short story video for the Bondage Warehouse (the scene with Yania in the red dress bent over the desk shown below). We also discovered something about Yania we didn’t know – she can touch her elbows behind her. Now maybe we already knew this and just forgot (we are getting older), but we did put our newly discovered (or rediscovered) information to good use. We also learned something else about Yania, but we will save that for the full behind the scenes update (tease tease :-)).
 
 
 

Trisha Banos Brings a Friend – New Model Stephanie Morales

Posted on by
     The last time Trisha Banos worked, she mentioned she had a friend coming into town who was interested in working, so we decided it would be a good idea to work with the two girls together. So on Saturday, we worked with Trisha and her friend Stephanie Morales. As you can see, Stephanie is a very attractive young lady with a very friendly, outgoing personality – much like Trisha :-). We spent the bulk of the day shooting two more original short story videos for the Bondage Warehouse, incuding a nice “peril” video where the two girls are tied up with a “ticking bomb”. We also shot a still photo set of the girls in cheerleader outfits (they got a real kick out of that!). All in all, a very good day. Now Stephanie is from out of state, so we have no idea if we will be able to work with her again. But she did say she is considering moving to Vegas, so maybe we will see more of this lovely young woman in the future.

Rebecca Mosley’s 3rd Shoot

Posted on by
     On Thursday we worked with Rebecca Mosley. This was Rebecca’s third visit and we spent the time shooting 4 photo sets. We also discovered that Rebecca can get her elbows together. Not sure why we didn’t realize that till her third visit, but we did take advantage of her newly discovered skill 🙂 Rebecca had to go to work after our shoot so we didn’t want to tire her out, but next time we will shoot some video.

Trisha Banos

Posted on by
Two days ago we worked with Trisha Banos for the second time in just 2 weeks. This time around we concentrated on video. We shot 2 scenes for the hogtied themed video we are working on plus another original short story video for the Bondage Warehouse (not pictured below, but Trisha was wearing the same leather skirt-satin blouse outfit shown in the last photo). We also shot a few still photo sets and some behind the scenes video for the members’ area.

Trisha looked beautiful, of course, and this time out, she had her hair straight – a different look and still quite sexy. But her ability to handle tight ties was the same!
