In a comment on the May 29 new photo update blog entry, someone remarked about how infrequently our black models get any positive feedback. This is something we noticed a while back, but the remark still got us to thinking. Many years ago (>10), black models were hugely popular, which is one the reasons we did so many black model themed videos (IS10, IS28, IS37, IS43, IS57). All these videos sold well and we specifically sought out black models to work with. Then, starting about 5 or 6 years ago, black models suddenly started getting less popular, even though we were working with some amazingly beautiful and personable black women (e.g., Augusta Jones, Misherlae Raines, Sabrina Hernandez). Sabrina, in particular, is one of the best models we have worked with. In the last year or two, the interest in black models has disappeared entirely, despite us continuing to work with some fantastic ethnic ladies such as Cody Blue and more recently Josephine Marloe. Josephine’s perfect body and amazing sex appeal is beyond compare, but she gets almost no feedback and her videos do not sell anywhere near the level of those featuring white models. This is something we find utterly amazing as Josephine is just flat out stunning. When we post our update previews, comments about the black models are almost non-existent. As the commentor noted, the lack of any positive feedback is almost absurd. It is almost as if people go out of their way to ignore them. In fact, response to black models has gotten so cold that we recently decided to stop working with them for the time being. We have recently turned down the opportunity to work with some very attractive black women, and as much as we would love to bring Josephine or Cody back, there really is no benefit in doing so. So all this makes us wonder – where did the love for black models go? And more importantly, will it ever come back?

Imago Studios 15 Year Anniversary!
On the 23rd of May in 1998, fifteen years ago, we did our first shoot in Las Vegas with Alexa Close. Our actual website wouldn’t go live until August and we had already published several photo sets and two videos featuring models we had worked with while living in NY through Harmony Concepts (but under the name Imago Studios). But that material wasn’t shot with any intention of releasing it on our own. And of course, we had released numerous photos of Dianne under the name the waDeRers through Harmony well before that.
But for us, that shoot with Alexa marked the true beginning of Imago Studios because it was the start of something new. We were shooting with every intention of starting our own site and our own company.
We never imagined that fifteen years later we would still be going strong, and would have become one of the largest and most successful bondage sites on the web. Over those years, we have worked with more than 200 models, released well over 100,000 photos and nearly 300 storyline videos, plus over 650 behind the scenes videos strictly for our membership site.
In a post on our message board in August of 2008, we looked back over our first 10 years and listed some of the things we were most proud of. Looking at that list, we have to say those elements are still what we take the most pride in.
Number one of course would be our amazing models. From Alexa and Mia, to Molly & Britney, to Ginger & Yania, and the many other girls between, we have had the privilege of working with some beautiful girls who are also sweet, friendly and a true pleasure to be around.
We still can state that we have never missed an update – for 15 years! We doubt many other sites can honestly make that claim.
We’ve seen many changes in technology over the years, producing video in a variety of formats: VHS, DVD, CD, downloadable WMV or MP4, streaming video, and digital rights rental. What the future will hold, well, certainly we cannot say! But we will continue to adjust to the needs of the changing world, whatever it holds.
So stay tuned – Imago Studios will be here for a long time to come!
More videos added to the streaming video site
We are in the process of adding more of the the original short story downloadable videos from the Bondage Warehouse to the streaming video site. We have already added up through IS-BW00069 and we will add IS-BW00070 through ISBW00073 in the next few days.
These original storyline videos are shot exclusively for the Bondage Warehouse in HD quality. They feature fast-paced DID or themed short stories and are 6-12 minutes in length (1 to 2 scenes). If you haven’t seen them, check them out. A short sample clip is available for each!
The streaming video site also contains almost all of our feature-length storyline video productions.

Yania Fernandez stops by for a bondage visit!
 |
On Monday, we worked with Yania Fernandez for the first time since late last year. Yania has been doing quite a bit of international traveling, so she hasn’t been around to shoot. So we were very glad when she contacted us recently to say should be in town for a whole 3 days! So of course we modified our schedule so we could get this beautiful lady in. We shot 3 photo sets plus plenty of behind the scenes video for the Members’ Club. Yania is currently out of the country again, but she did tell she would be back in little over a month and she definitely wants to shoot more when she returns. |

Jessica Anne & Rebecca Mosley learn a lesson about strangers in the latest Warehouse Video release
Jessica Anne shows some poor judgement about a new boyfriend and that gets her and Rebecca Mosley in hot water in the latest video for the Bondage Warehouse. Hogtied (elbows pinned!) and ballgagged, the only thing our pretty damsels can do is wiggle their pantyhose-clad toes and cry for help.

Selene Silva in Spy vs Spy – now in the Warehouse!
Selene Silva has been given a “career advancement” opportunity that she should have declined in the latest video for the Bondage Warehouse. Assigned to take out the senior Agent of the Organization, Selene should have expected that the older, more experienced woman was a seasoned spy who knew how to watch her back! Caught in the act, now Selene is going to pay the price for her audacity!
