30 Oct 10 Saw 3D

mia and I went to see Saw 3D yesterday. This was advertised as the last in the series, and they were very much milking the blood and gore. That aside, there were some cool pieces of kit. I blogged about Saw III back in 2006, and the franchise has incorporated more and more BDSM cuffs etc over the time since then. Stand out items this time included a neck brace and a platform [more...]

25 Oct 10 "Slave Girl of Gor" by John Norman

I have a vivid memory of seeing a display of Gor books in a branch of W.H. Smiths in about 1978, when I was 6 or 7 years old. Some of the books were face-out so I could see the tempting pictures of chained, half-naked slave girls. The title of one, "Slave Girl of Gor", jumped out at me, as I was already secretly fascinated with all aspects of slavery - well, at the least the aspects that could be gleaned from television, films, and children's books. Would that woman begging the king's mercy in the Ladybird "King Alfred the Great" make a good slave? Probably not, I thought, but these Gor books looked [more...]

17 Oct 10 Dystopia

We went to the third Dystopia last night, after helping a little bit with the setting up in the afternoon. What an awesome night! Well done everyone

29 Sep 10 Slave Girl of Gor

I've started re-reading Slave Girl of Gor, which I think I last read in about 1997. I have a love-hate relationship with John Norman's books: they're badly written and have been horribly misused by online roleplayers, but they're bloody hot in places. Most of all, they're hot in a very D/s way. Hot psychological and emotional scenarios about submission and subjugation, rather than just physical stuff - although there's plenty of that too.

18 Jul 10 This weekend at Bridgewood

July's event day took place this weekend, with 9 of us enjoying the sunshine and the possibilities of the wood. On Sunday, mia and I went back and I attacked the undergrowth appearing on the North Ride with a brushcutter. [more...]

25 Jun 10 Another weekend at Bridgewood

Last weekend mia and I camped out at Bridgewood again. I've already posted about making switches and birches on Sunday, but want to say a bit about the rest of the weekend. [more...]

23 Jun 10 Making switches and birches

Last week there was a thread about birches on IC so while I was at Bridgewood this weekend, I decided to take some pictures of cutting switches and making a birch from the hazel which is abundant in the wood. Birch itself and willow are also good woods for this, but I naturally concentrate on hazel. [more...]

4 Jun 10 New Bridgewood video

I've uploaded a new video of the Glade and Holding Pen that I made last weekend. I've not done any videos since last autumn, and this one is now in HD which is much better for the highly textured woodland backgrounds. [more...]

3 Jun 10 O&P Open, Manchester, Sat 3rd July

I've now posted details of next month's O&P Open in Manchester, following the same format as the previous events in London and Manchester. The 3rd also coincides with the quarterly Dystopia night in Manchester.

24 May 10 Camping at Bridgewood

mia and I had our first camping trip to this weekend, with the weather hot and sunny both days, and warm over night. As well as being fun and convenient, this gives us more options for the event days which could cover both days of a weekend sometimes. [more...]
