Over the weekend I was able to catch a few presentations, and one of the best was a scarf bondage demo put on by BondDave from Florida. He was funny and entertaining and really knows his scarves, having studied with Richard Volcane, well known by the readers of Harmony\u2019s Bondage Life magazine back in the day. BondDave did a terrific demo, tying up Mallory Brooke<\/a>, who clearly was enjoying herself.<\/p>\n Later I got to hang out and shoot some pictures with Cindy and Audrey from the Yahoo Group<\/a>. It was really great to see them both again. And later that weekend I got to shoot some more pictures of Sybil, who dressed up in a fantastic \u201ccold shoulder\u201d secretary outfit \u2013 of course, this secretary got into a bit of a bind.<\/p>\n Another fun shoot was with Jeff Jamm and a lovely model named Kimberly Sinical<\/a> whom I only had met that morning, with our mutual friend Rik. Later that afternoon I was over her knee, tied up and getting spanked, and then finally we ended up on the floor tied up together and gagged with one of Jeff\u2019s double ballgags. I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing how those pics turned out ;-) Kimberly was a delight to work with and I really hope we have a chance to do more.<\/p>\n Back on the vendor floor it was really great to finally meet Sandra Silvers<\/a>, whom I\u2019ve always liked, and another high point was meeting the beautiful Paige Richards<\/a>, who was a total delight to chat with \u2013 very down to earth and a very classy lady.<\/p>\n Saturday there was a party away from the hotel in a club called Czar that I was able to make. The weather was hot and humid but thankfully they had a shuttle bus to and from the place. Jean Bardot<\/a> and Rubberdoll<\/a> both put on terrific stage shows there. I often find it kind of intimidating to just walk up to women and start talking, but being in a strange city somehow makes it easier. I saw a really attractive girl wearing this wonderful office girl outfit with a tight pencil skirt and green blouse with puffy shoulders. She turned out to be really nice and although she wasn\u2019t a model, I told her she should be. We hung out for a while and danced and I wanted to take her back to my room to tie her up but, well, I didn\u2019t have the guts to ask. It was very nice though meeting such a cutie.<\/p>\n The final Sunday night party at the hotel is one of the best, though I found it a little bittersweet, knowing that I\u2019d soon be back on the plane and heading home. I met a very lucky crossdresser named Sasha who was there with her adorable girlfriend K. \u2013 very nice people \u2013 and chatted with JJ Plush again and also Elane Hershey<\/a>, whom I\u2019ve always liked. Andre the Toon Man<\/a> and I hung out for a while, talking about life, at the end of the night, and then it was getting close to packing up. They wrapped up the party with the crazy Reverend B. Dangerous<\/a>, who puts screwdrivers up his nose and has a big guy stand on the back of his head while he\u2019s lying in a pile of broken glass. I\u2019ve seen his show twice now and always enjoy his crazy flirting-with-death antics – I see his self infliction of pain as a metaphor for the desire to break free from the constraints of day to day life (no, seriously), something so many of us yearn to do.<\/p>\n To be honest, I always feel a little funny about all the name dropping when I report on these events and hope it doesn\u2019t sound like I\u2019m showing off. People sometimes write me and say I\u2019m kind of a big deal with Trannies in Trouble<\/a>, but when I\u2019m at these events I just feel like another fan wandering around starstruck. In some ways it almost feels like being in High School again. There are the big name models and the major website producers, who seem like the cool kids, and then the rest of us walking around hoping to fit in and be a part of the crowd. I do well enough but I\u2019ll probably always have that little edge of insecurity.<\/p>\n In any case, it was a really nice weekend and great to see old friends whom I hadn\u2019t seen in a few years and to meet so many new people. I never know from year to year if I\u2019ll be able to make it to Tampa again, but hope to be back in 2011. If you\u2019re into damsel in distress bondage this really is about the best convention of its kind out there and is worth visiting if you can afford the trip.<\/p>\n Well, I came back totally sleep deprived from FetishCon but had a really good time, saw a lot of old friends, and met some new ones. As I\u2019ve mentioned before I\u2019m kind of shy and have social anxiety, so these big events are never easy for me, but I find that it\u2019s usually worth the … Continue reading FetishCon 2010<\/span>
