American Mary

I had a fun time the other night hanging out with my good friend Delilah and watching this crazy horror movie called “American Mary,” about a sexy young medical student named, well, Mary, played by Katherine Isabelle, who gets involved in performing underground surgeries and weird body modifications to help pay her mounting debts – the girl definitely has some mental problems too, or at the very least a severe personality disorder. This thing is really twisted and sick, with a couple scenes in particular of medical torture that are truly disturbing and awful to watch. But the clothes she wears – OMG! She’s always wearing skirts and high heels, or lingerie, performing surgery in five inch pumps and basically looks like a killer dominatrix – she’s hot! The only scene of actual (weak) bondage is in that torture scene and it’s NOT sexy, just horrible, but I still enjoyed the weirdness and sexiness of the film in general. The ending though is also weak; it’s one of those movies that has a fantastic set-up and premise and then just seems to run out of ideas and feels like it has this confusing violent climax that was just cobbled together to wrap things up. So it’s not a great film, by any stretch, but if you like horror and you like the sexy outfits on the actress, who is indeed very good in her twisted role, it’s definitely fun and worth a watch. She has great bangs too! ;-)









West Hollywood Halloween Street Party 2014

It was another fun Halloween in West Hollywood. My friend Kim was feeling a little under the weather so I dressed up and braved the Boulevard on my own but luckily I was able to meet up with two group of friends during the night, including Louann and Mika, who are regulars here on the L.A. scene, Ashley A. who was in town for the weekend from New York (just shot pics with her a few weeks ago – that’s her friend Jodie in the mask with her below), Ileana Logan as a super-cute stewardess, and Capt. Al from AtTomicVisuals.

As usual, it’s a great mix of costumes and weirdos out on the streets with lots of CDs and cute girls. Apparently if you’re a teenage girl it’s required to make gang or peace signs when posing. Much later in the evening it was great to see Lorelei, Jon Woods, and Ikaras Jones again and hang out for a while at the hotel where they were all staying. If I see them a third time it’ll be a tradition!

The strange thing about this year is that there was a little rain off and on, but nothing too bad till about midnight when suddenly it let loose and was a deluge! Thankfully I brought a small umbrella, so I was fine walking back to my car. But a young guy came up shivering and asked, “Can I walk with you under your umbrella? I’m so cold!” I said sure, and after a minute he put his arm around me and came in close. I think he really was just trying to grab some body heat (mostly) but it was pretty funny. What the heck, it’s a party and if he’d been my type maybe I would have had some action. He was very thankful when we finally got back to the parking garage and we parted ways, never to be seen again. All in all, a fun night and crazy as ever…

East Coast Trip: NYC and Rochester

I’ve been playing catch-up since I got back from the east coast but it turned out to be quite an adventure. There were some plane and train delays but I finally made it back east, where I met a lot of nice and cool people. First I was in Rochester and spent the first day kidnapped in David Iron’s garage. We’ve been talking online for years and it was really exciting to finally find myself in the same place that I’ve seen in lots of his photos. The duct tape bondage below in the white dress was out of this world and felt so completely helpless. He played it up as though he were really kidnapping me and had me taped up like that within minutes. Then the next day after recovering, I got to shoot with Sara Jensen – in the bizarre stockade below – who was a lot of fun and completely up for being put through the ringer (always love that!)

After a long delay getting down to NYC on the Amtrak trip from hell I finally got to meet up with Ada Black, who’s super cute and made a nice young damsel trapped in her hotel room while her crazy aunt (guess who?) prepared to go into the city on vacation. Ada was a good sport and played along nicely and we got some really cute glamour shots too. Then after a much-needed good night’s sleep, I got to shoot with Ashley A., who was really cool and who very generously met up with me later that night in the city and showed me around. This was my first time dressing up and going out in NYC and everything went just fine. I was staying in New Jersey but had no problems riding the PATH train over to Manhattan, where we checked out some clubs, including Ashley’s favorite bar, The Bourgeois Pig, which was very relaxing and a really nice way to end the evening. Yeah, I’d had a couple drinks in that one shot below with Ashley ;-) We also hit the tasty waffle truck (Yum!) in Greenwich Village after stopping by the Stonewall Inn.

Another shoot that I was planning unfortunately fell through but I did finally get to meet up with Amanda Bound, another nice gurl with whom I’ve emailed off and on for years. Amanda also likes it strict and we did a couple nice scenes with some intense breath restriction, tight duct tape gags, and cable ties, nicely working her over. It was a really enjoyable evening and Amanda finally drifted off in bondage while I was straightening up the gear and putting the lights away, a nice way to end the shoot. I did get to go into the city one more time, this time in daylight and just in boy mode, but I did stop by Times Square to check out the cool Houdini exhibit at a local magic shop and also saw Manhattan’s little-known 6 1/2 Avenue (really just a shortcut pedestrian walkway in midtown that runs for several blocks but the signs are kind of cool.) I also took some snapshots of the signage in Times Square (Barbie!) and noticed this series of New York / Paris / London prints, with drawings of the kind of fantasy sophisticated young woman that a crossdresser dreams of being (of course, there are plenty of “real” women who’d like to be her too!)

I always find New York City a fascinating place though have to admit I was happy to be back in L.A. by the end of it. NYC is great but can be such a hassle just trying to maneuver and get around, and the crush of people can get a little overwhelming after a few days. L.A. can have its own hassles with the traffic and congestion but is almost easy compared to the Big Apple. Amazing city though and always worth a visit, especially if lots of bondage is involved :-)

New York State and City

Wow, it’s been a busy week getting ready for my upcoming New York trip. I’m going to be shooting a lot for about a week and a half and should be meeting lots of new people and should have some cute new gurls on the website when I get back. I probably over-booked things so I’m just going to take it as the adventure that it is and try to roll with whatever happens. I’ll be starting out up near Rochester and then taking the train down to New York City, which I haven’t visited since my sessions with Mr. K. way back in 2006! So I’m really excited to see the city again, and am definitely planning to get into Manhattan next weekend, hopefully more than once. It’s an intense and challenging place, of course, but I’ve always enjoyed the energy when I’ve been able to spend time there…Wish me luck, always fun to travel and always nice to come back home when it finally winds down! :-)

Sybil Cuts Loose at FetishCon 2014

(I recently heard from Sybil and she very graciously offered to write up a little report on her recent visit to FetishCon in Tampa. It sounds like it was another really fun time and I’m sorry I couldn’t be there this year to share in the adventures and to hear your presentation – way to go, girl! For anyone who hasn’t been, FetishCon is definitely worth the cost and effort, and if you’re a CD it’s a great chance to dress for days at a time. Thanks so much, Sybil!)

Hi ladies and admirers, and thanks to Sandra for the opportunity to tell stories and post pictures out here on the best tranny bondage site anywhere in existence!!

I thought I’d post a report from FetishCon last month, especially since Sandra had a conflict with the dates and wasn’t able to join us this year. Can’t believe it’s been over for 3+ weeks already! FetishCon is a place where a gurl can go and fit right in – if you’re looking for a place to be yourself, it doesn’t get much better than this.

There were some changes at FetishCon this year, including a new red carpet photo opportunity, which was on the 2nd floor of the Hilton in downtown Tampa, right outside the ballrooms where the main show is held and the classes are taught. (This hotel was a Hyatt for a number of years before the Hilton company bought them out recently) The red carpet was fun and gave everyone an opportunity to be sexy, campy or just plain silly in front of a nice FetCon backdrop. Included here is one on the carpet with Jean Bardot and her slave, The Jeffrey, all of us rubbered out – they posted all the pics on the FetCon Tumblr site.

I offered to teach a crossdressing class at the event this year, something I hadn’t done for a couple years at FetCon. And we had a very nice turnout – everyone was super and there was plenty of interaction, with gurls throwing tips around for each other, which is what I’d hoped for! (Included is a picture with one of the class attendees, Jessica, who describes herself as a “translesbian” – I love that term!) For this class I did a series of transformation photos the morning before the class, showing how I went from boy mode to Sybil. I included a photo of the before/after here, but had to add a few dots to my boy pic to protect my secret identity

I did manage to get into a little trouble in Tampa! I spent some time with Master Allen from AlsGalsinBondage.com, doing mummification and pantyhose encasement scenes. We used a luggage cart for the encasement scene – it was my first time being encased in pantyhose and first time being made into luggage as well! Master Allen has shot often with Sandra, so we had a lot to chat about. Another spot of trouble happened when I was kidnapped by The Jeffrey in my room and was held for a ransom of Oreo cookies. Fortunately for me, nobody paid the ransom and I was left inescapably tied for at least two hours, probably closer to three. Jeffrey started with the bondage you see in the picture with me on the bed, and eventually made a tight hogtie out of that. The pic is from The Jeffrey’s phone – he was texting it to all potential ransom payers!

The last little bit of trouble was being part of the Sunday night performance at the FetishCon Ball with Jean. We did a crazy little routine in military-look latex, with me getting bound to a table and paddled for hijacking Mistress Jean’s foxtail butt plug. Jean hit me really hard on the stage – I was a little surprised and when I was yelling, I meant it! Actually, sometimes Sandra whacks me pretty good, too…I guess Jean and Sandra are just artists looking for authenticity, eh? In addition to a picture from the performance, there is also a pic from backstage before the performance – Jean and me with the Reverend B. Dangerous and The Jeffrey (in bimbo mode again).

All these stories are fun, but the best part of FetishCon for me is getting to see and hang out with so many good friends at this event. Making new friends is also fabulous, and it is so easy with so many interesting people who attend this event. Will certainly be back next year! Thanks so much for reading this if you’re still with me!! Xoxo, Sybil










Travel Coming Up

It’s been busy as ever here lately and can’t believe we’re already heading into September. I’ve got some more travel coming up, a few days in Colorado, and then finally in about a month a visit back to the east coast to do some shooting near Rochester and New York City. I haven’t been to the city since I shot with Mr. K. back in 2006 so it’ll be great to see it again. I’ll be staying across the river in Jersey but plan to get into the city at least once or twice…I always feel horny when I travel and I suspect this time in New York will be no different ;-) Anyway, hope to have some new models and nice new pictures in early October. More to come, I’m sure…

Trans Supermodel Andreja Pejic

I first heard of supermodel Andreja Pejic sometime last year when she was still presenting as a spectacular androgynous male model, modeling both women’s and men’s clothes (and still going by Andrej). I was totally blown away and in awe and recall in an interview how much work it took to polish the incredible look that she presented, meticulously watching her diet and exercise. Recently though she’s been in the news after coming out as transgender, and there’s a nice Entertainment Tonight video if you scroll down to the bottom of this write-up about the Australian model of Bosnian ethnicity. And OMG, she sounds just as incredible as she looks and wears a super-cute outfit in the ET video, which also mentions trans actress Laverne Cox from the Netflix show “Orange is the New Black.” Andeja also appeared in a recent David Bowie video. It’s great to see such high-profile trans people. The world needs more like them!












Photobombed with Christelle!

My friend Christelle from France just sent me a few more pictures from the recent visit in Paris, including some amusing ones. After a nice dinner at our favorite bistro, Christelle, Krystle, our friend Charly and I headed out again and snapped some shots on the famous Champs-Élysées. We got nicely photobombed (I loved that guy!) and to my surprise it turns out that Charly did snap a picture of the teenage girl who couldn’t stop laughing at us, whom I mentioned in the earlier blog post below. I don’t remember her being this tiny, so I’m a bit shocked (I swear, officer, she really was 18!) but she did have a boyfriend with her and is hiding her face in the picture, so here you go. It was a really hilarious moment to see her carrying on like this – kudos to Christelle for getting her to come over and stand with us, even if just for a second before she ran off again! It was a wild night and afterward we had a drive through the unknown streets back to our hotel after a long day of dressing and sight seeing. I wanna go back!

Night Out at the Ox’

My good friend Kim and I had a fun time at the Oxwood Inn the other night (the photo here was snapped by Cici Kytten). We saw some friends I hadn’t seen in a while and had a nice chat with the bartender. I wish I liked bars more than I do, as we had a really nice time, but I definitely need a couple drinks in me to relax – let’s just say I had a couple and then a little more ;-) Will have to try to go back again sooner.

BoundCon 2014…
and a Few Days in Paris (“Super!”)

The trip to BoundCon and Paris with my friend Krystle was incredible! We met so many nice people, made some great new friends and had a fantastic time. I’d never been to Europe till now but this trip certainly made up for it and threw me completely out of my comfort zone, but in a very good way. The jet lag in Munich was tough the first day but we motored through it and forced ourselves to get onto the new schedule as quickly as we could and in a couple days we were fine. Munich is a very pretty town, smaller than I expected, and everyone was very friendly. Krystle speaks some German, which helped a lot, but I felt like a bit of a jerk because I basically only know “I’m sorry, I don’t speak German” and “Thank you.” It was still surprisingly easy to get by though as so many Germans speak some English and many people are fluent, though they often deny it. Krystle shook her head over the comments of some speakers, “Oh, my English is so bad. How do you say…uh, “multifaceted?” ;-)

After some sightseeing, BoundCon itself was a blast. We made some great new friends, including the very fun Marie Lissandro and the very skilled RopeMasterFrank, with whom I’ve emailed off and on for years and who was a true gentleman. Later we got to hang out with Katja (who has the very large breasts in the pictures below) and Daniela von L (with the red cane below), who were both a lot of fun. We met lots of other people including Mandy from Berlin (black and white and glasses) at the Meet N Greet, Renee the Bondage Crossdresser who was very nice, and a nice photographer named John from the UK, who took a few of the pictures below. Some of these were taken on an iPod and some on a point-and-shoot but John had a full-frame Canon, so the really sharp ones are probably his! Of course, I had to get another picture with the lovely Sandra Silvers – always great to see her at these bondage events. There were also quite a few random ladies walking around tied up and some great stage shows, and our new friend from the Netherlands (I believe) who transforms into an amazing Victorian lady.

Sub Rosa Dictum Official Party at Kesselhaus

My friend Krystle really wanted to go to the official off-site BoundCon party on Saturday night put on by Sub Rosa Dictum, (party photos here). I didn’t really have much expectation either way and just said, “Sure, that’s fine,” but it turned out to be one of the highlights of the weekend. This thing was crazy! We have some nice events here in Los Angeles but this was like on another planet! It was so kinky and full of latex and rubber everywhere you looked, a huge crowd of maybe 400 or 500 people and just a crazy decadent vibe, definitely the best party I’ve ever been to. The medical latex performance by fetish model Anna Rose (pictured below from her Twitter feed, photo by Heinrich Schimmer) was incredibly sexy.

Marie Lissandro and Daniela and some other friends hung out with us and Marie turned us onto a fantastic drink popular in Southern Germany and Northern Italy called a Hugo, made with sparking white wine and elderflower syrup. I have no idea what that is but it was like drinking liquid candy and then after a couple of those we were feeling Very Relaxed! At one point I found myself strapped to a cross and being felt up by two complete strangers. The guy in the full latex outfit and hood was fun and creepy in a good way but the other guy was, well, just creepy and became a little too familiar, but it was still okay as my friends were looking out for me and letting it go just to the point of almost too much. Later we met a fun German dominatrix and her female submissive and everyone was very friendly and completely cool with the language differences. I loved Germany and BoundCon and hope to go back again!

Off to Paris

The weekend in Germany flew by and in no time we were on a train to France where we pulled into Paris in the late afternoon. I took several years of French in school but still feel like a rank beginner, especially when Parisians would speak to me and I’d have that deer-in-the-headlights look. But I was able to communicate with the cab drivers and could usually order in restaurants till they finally took pity on me and switched to English, which happened a lot. The nice people at our hotel, in a non-touristy area, didn’t speak much English though so that was great practice forcing me to communicate as best I could.

Paris is definitely more of a bustling city than Munich, with the good and bad that goes with that, an energy and excitement but also occasionally that edge of aggression that you find in big cities, similar to being in New York, or L.A. for that matter. But the people we met were fantastic and very friendly. After our first night enjoying some Couscous and a bottle of wine, we finally met our new friend Christelle with whom I’ve emailed for years. Christelle is lovely and the nicest person you could meet and we had a delightful time, hitting it off right away. She directed us to the perfect tranny neighborhood, a very friendly hotel near the main tranny club and down the street from the Café Marcel where we ate several meals, including dressed up a couple times. It was extremely welcoming, very gay and trans friendly, fantastic food and drinks and although everything was “super” it didn’t break the bank either.

Later Christelle took us out shopping at Angel Modes just down the street, a fun little shop catering to CDs and trans girls and run by a famous seventy-year old “grande dame” who was very kind. Of course, we also had to fit in some bondage back at the hotel, where appropriately some of the scenes from the movie “Taken” were filmed. And that evening Christelle generously arranged for us to be driven around the city along with her friend Monsieur Charly, who was also a total gentleman. It was crazy hopping out and snapping pictures in front of all these famous landmarks. Much later we found ourselves on the famous Champs Élysées where a teenage girl with her boyfriend couldn’t stop laughing her ass off over the two trannies on the avenue. I actually found it a lot of fun blowing her mind, and hey, I’ve always enjoyed a little bit of humiliation anyway as anyone who’s read my stories knows. I think the sight of us was just so outside the norm that she didn’t know how to react, but yes, she was definitely laughing AT us too, which was fine ;-) Christelle was cool headed and got her to come over for a snapshot but sadly her boyfriend took it on his cell phone so I don’t have a copy. Then she hurried off still laughing and carrying on.

Christelle was only with us for one day but we had a truly memorable time and I hope we can do it again. The next day after recovering, Krystle and I took an afternoon trip to see Jim Morrison’s grave at Père Lachaise cemetery. I’ve been a fan for years so it was very moving to make the pilgrimage to see the Lizard King. Then it was time to dress again and go off to the famous Maison du Travesti, which we were able to walk to as it was only a couple blocks from the hotel, and we had a fun evening meeting people and drinking yet more wine. Appropriately it’s located on the Rue des Dames (or “Ladies’ Street”), a small little club but very friendly, and apparently it’s the main CD / trans club in Paris, more a private get-together than a loud nightclub. We did find out that there was a room downstairs for more “private” kinds of play, and I think you could get into quite a bit of trouble down there if you were so inclined. We checked it out but opted to stay upstairs this time, having gotten a little groped within minutes ;-) We were pretty tipsy by the end of the evening and stumbled back to our hotel with the party still going strong…

The trip went by so fast and had so many memories, truly an amazing time. In no time at all we were at the Paris airport and back to the states. Like a fool I timed my return to be right on the same day as the TEASE party. I made it through the night with a bad case of jet lag but it was totally worth it!

Packing for BoundCon

So I’m spending today finishing up packing for BoundCon. I’m having to travel lightly on this one (international baggage fees are really high, wow!) but I have enough outfits to get me through the week. I really have no idea what to expect since all the events I’ve been to before have all been in the US, so this will be a totally new experience. I am looking forward to meeting some European friends though whom I’ve emailed with over the years, so that should be exciting. And my friend Krystle thankfully knows some German so I’ll be able to rely on her for dealing with transportation and checking into the hotel; of course, everyone whom I’ve talked with who’s been to Germany before says that so many people in Europe know English anyway so we should be fine. The return trip through France may be a bit more challenging but I have my clumsy French from school to help me, though that was a long time ago in those classrooms. We’ll see…

I’m any case, I’m heading out of here tomorrow and am looking forward to a nice German beer in a couple days. I probably won’t be able to post any pictures here till I get back but if you’re curious look me up on Twitter later in the week and hopefully I’ll be able to at least tweet a few things if I can get a wifi connection. Oh, of course updates and everything will continue as scheduled on the site (in fact there’s a new Kyra the yoga girl set of pictures and a video coming up in about a week that was a lot of fun to shoot…) More to come soon…

Email Backlog

I’ve been so behind on email once again, about as bad as it’s ever been, so if you’ve been waiting to hear from me that’s all it is. I know some messages will probably fall through the cracks, which I hate, but it reaches a level of overload where I find my brain just shutting down and saying, “I’ll deal with it later.” Actually one of the best places for me to stay in touch with people is on Twitter. If only all email were limited to 140 characters! Then I’d be caught up!

And you know, email really does seem like an archaic means of communication nowadays. It’s great for the details of setting up a shoot or dealing with specific actions and events but just for chatting and keeping in touch – it really does feel like something from the 90s. Some days I just can’t do it and I click on close and go back to editing pictures or, more likely, replying to email on Facebook, which has to be the lowest rung on the email foodchain, with lots of “How’s it going?” and “I’d like to get to know you better” from someone with a blank profile usually…So guess I still haven’t figured out how to deal with the constant inbox overload…Anyway, thanks for listening to my venting and it won’t get any better while I’m over at BoundCon; I’m sure of that! ;-)

Upcoming Travel / and Next TEASE

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here but things have been busy as usual with some fun shoots behind the scenes and a lot of editing and preparation going on. I have some travel coming up in a couple weeks, though, and am finally going to go to BoundCon with my friend Krystle so I’ve been cranking it out and trying to get everything ready for that. We’ll be away for a while but updates will still be covered as usual on the site. I will have my laptop and access to email for some of the time but there are a lot of unknowns so if I’m a bit out of touch the latter part of the month that’s all it is.

I’m hoping we’ll have some nice new pictures when I get back – I suspect we will :-) And I also wanted to mention that our next TEASE party here in North Hollywood will be on Saturday, May 31st, and everyone’s invited to wear a prom dress or party dress for the season. I’ll just be getting back for that. Our last party (our first one on a Saturday evening) had over forty-five people, so I’m really thrilled about how well the switch to Saturday night went over. If you’re in L.A. or visiting the area, come on out. No one is turned away and you can dress or come in boy mode or whatever is most comfortable for you.

So it’ll be a busy month but I’m very excited. Hope to have more news in a few weeks and I also hope to be able to Tweet a little on my iPod while I’m overseas, as long as there’s a decent internet connection. In any case here’s a snapshot of Kaitlynn from a TEASE party last year, nicely tied and hooded in the schoolroom. This is what happens when you misbehave – a long timeout involving a paddle, the Hitachi and nipple clamps!

TS Stefani Special Introduced to Bondage

It was a blast getting to shoot with Stefani Special a few weeks ago. She’s a popular TS pornstar who likes bondage and she’s terrific in front of the camera! She was visiting in L.A. recently, and we got to shoot some cute pictures and also did an extended full-length video with Otto Devoid appearing as a super-creepy photographer who takes advantage of the poor innocent girl next door who only wanted to take some glamour shots. This fantasy of being used and molested during a photoshoot has always been one of my favorites so when Stefani suggested it I knew we’d have a great scene. The full set will go up this Friday and the first of two video clips will go up a few days after that. Enjoy!



Silvia Snow Helpless in Her Red Dress

Silvia Snow looked amazing and so pretty in this set of pictures that we shot last summer and that I’m finally posting over on the site. I saw her red dress in some of her own pictures on Fetlife and knew she just had to wear it again for some bondage pics. I really like how the full set came out, with her hands taped up and lashed down on the bed at her hotel, wondering just what she’s gotten herself into. Silvia’s a natural and I really hope we’ll be able to get together again…Enjoy!



Eleven Years of Trannies In Trouble

Well, here it is late March and once again it’s the anniversary of Trannies In Trouble, which first went online around this time in 2003. It always seems like it’ll take forever to reach the next one but then it flies by and here we are again. I’ve been shooting with a lot of new gurls lately and have been having some fun and interesting times. At the same time, I feel like I’m in a bit of a transition period right now as the years continue to pass. I’m still modeling, and I’ll still be appearing as Sandra the bondagette for a few more years, I’m sure, though perhaps not as often as I used to. Lately I’ve just been finding myself more and more in the Mrs. Gibbons / Aunt Sandra role, tying up all those wayward younger crossdressers and trans gurls (both of whom are delightful to subdue and torment) and I suspect I’ll continue in more of a dominant role like that for some time – but not completely, as this week’s update shows! ;-) In any case, I’m grateful for all the support and the many loyal subscribers and visitors here at the website; you make it all possible. Here’s to the next year – I’m planning on many more to come!

Sharon Porter in Blue Leather

I love this blue leather outfit that Sharon Porter wears in this week’s update. She looked amazing when we got together at DomCon last summer and I had a fun time putting her in a really strict hogtie, with a rope running up to her head-harness gag to make things even more strict. Hogties are always a favorite because they make you feel so utterly helpless, and Sharon looked particularly hot and vulnerable restrained on the hotel-room floor. She wasn’t going anywhere – Enjoy!



L.A. Marathon 2014

I had a blast yesterday at the L.A. Marathon and although I’m a slowpoke I was still upright as I crossed the finish line. I had some doubts if I’d finish it this year, since I just wasn’t feeling strong with my training and the weather was warm yesterday in the 80s. I did come in about 20 minutes slower than last year but I was completely thrilled just to complete the race and put on a tiny surge to my trotting pace on the last miles, which are utterly miserable any way you cut it. I’d love to break the five hour mark at some point but it just seems really daunting at this point, maybe next year. The event itself is just so much fun though, with an incredible energy and an amazing crowd to cheer you on for miles and miles, and a course that goes by so many well-known L.A. landmarks. It just feels like a big L.A. lovefest and I hope to do it again next year.

One of the main reasons I keep running is that it’s a great way to keep the weight off, and as the decades pass it becomes harder and harder not to bulk up. If I didn’t work out I’m sure I’d be ten or twenty pounds heavier than I am now. So I’m no great athlete by any stretch but it does help with my vanity. ;-) I also tend to have better moods and just generally feel better about things if I stay active. I had a mild injury last September and didn’t run for an entire month and just felt awful. It was like withdrawal not getting my endorphin fix. It’s tough to get out to the gym or hit the track but I force myself even though I could totally be a couch potato. Anyway, it was an awesome race yesterday and will definitely be one of the high points of the year once again! Yay!

Introducing Diane Hitachi’ed by her Aunt Sandra

Diane and I emailed a while back and had the chance to shoot a fun and sexy scene last weekend. She looked fabulous in this leather outfit of hers and we shot a scene where she’s my niece being corrected for her wild ways. Here are a few framegrabs from the video; the whole thing turned out to be over fifteen minutes long with some intense Hitachi action at the end. I’ll post the video early next week and hope that Diane will be back for more stern but loving correction from her slightly demented aunt. There are a couple still shots also on the preview page at T’s in Trouble. Enjoy!




Guest Blog from Sybil Minnelli! — Snowbound in Minnesota

(The other day my friend Sybil and I were emailing and she very graciously agreed to write up a blog post about her life in Minneapolis where that girl gets up so many adventures with her friend the lovely Jean Bardot. Sybil’s always great fun to shoot with and hang out with and I always look forward to seeing her when our paths cross, which usually happens at least once a year, it seems. Thanks so much, Sybil, for sharing and hope we’ll see that video you mentioned one of these days, ha ha! *Hugs*)

Hello everybody, I’m honored to do this guest blog for Sandra’s website! I am amazingly lucky to call Sandra my friend. Being a lover of crossdressing and bondage, I contacted her out of the blue a few years ago and asked if she would consider me for a shoot with TranniesinTrouble and we made arrangements to meet in Hollywood at the Renaissance Hotel (now the Loews, I think?). I had never really done a photo shoot before, so I was super nervous! (I had shot with Jean Bardot before, but it was really informal as we have been friends a long time.) Anyway, I felt at ease with Sandra right away and I really enjoyed the experience. Sandra made me look really, really good, like way better than I thought I could! She understands as well as anybody how to catch her subject’s best angles. Since then I have tried to shoot with Sandra on every trip I make to the L.A. area, and it has mostly worked out for us. (With all the snow we’ve had lately in Minnesota, I need to get to L.A. soon!) Sandra and I have also hung out at Fetish Con in Tampa; the more time I spend with Sandra, the more I like her :-)

Here in Minneapolis, I’m just as lucky to call Jean Bardot my friend. I got to know her when I was a stage manager for a burlesque show – she was one of the performers I managed! As Jean and I got to know each other better, we became friendly and I started helping her with her business in a number of ways. I help her with managing her schedule, booking gigs, negotiating deals, and if she needs somebody to tie up on camera, well hey, I can help with that too ;-)

Jean has introduced me to fun and kinky people all over the world and I cherish some of the relationships I have made because of her. This past weekend, one of our dear friends had a milestone birthday with a party in the L.A. area. Unfortunately, schedule demands were such that we couldn’t make it out there for the party… We thought about sending flowers, a gift or something along those lines, but it just didn’t seem right. And then it came to us – we needed to make a happy birthday video clip, duh!! So I wrote up a quick script, ran it by Jean, and to nobody’s surprise, it would start with Jean saying Happy Birthday with a tied and gagged tranny gurl by her side. She would remove the gag long enough for me to say happy bday and then put it back in so I could take a spanking on behalf of the birthday girl. Before starting the video, Jean used leather suspension cuffs on my wrists to pull my hands above my head, and while she was doing that, I was saying, “Okay, don’t forget to *do this* and *say that*…” but as soon as she cranked my hands up with the winch, making me helpless, she grabbed the ball gag and said, “I don’t think I need any more help with this!” And she strapped the gag in really tight, so I just sat there waiting for her to do whatever she wanted after that. Then she cuffed my feet together and started the video rolling. I have included a few screen captures from the video to illustrate! Once the video was complete, Jean gagged me again and treated me to a little scene before she let me go and got that on video too… I’m not sure I’m ready to share that just yet, though!

Well if you’re still reading at this point, thanks very much for listening and I hope you have enjoyed it! I need to stop now before this gets completely out of control, but if you want to hear any more stories, thoughts, scene reports from Minneapolis, (or whatever!) please leave a comment or mention something to Sandra and I’ll happily write up another entry! Until next time…Happy tranny trails!

Xoxo, Sybil
