The Eye of the Fetishist

Fetishist see things that normal people do not. It's quite simple really, the fact is a fetishist is looking for those things.

All the time. It's just the way we are.

Last night I received an e-mail from "BootLover" with these picture of Mistress Denna kicking her slave in Episode 8 of "Legend of the Seeker." He had noticed in one of the scenes Mistress Denna pushes (or even kicks) away an adoring slave who is kneeling at her feet. Me, I missed it completely. I was focused on her imperious crossed arms and the sway of her long ponytail, but obviously Boot Lover caught what his fetish eye has been trained to see. And although he was disappointed that he couldn't capture the "exact" moment of the push off, he did offer the images to share. The images are over contrasted which I think was caused by attempts to brighten it up a bit since the event was in the shadows that it's tough to see.
Aarkeybabble : Jessica Marais as Mistress Denna in Legend of the SeekerAlong similar lines was something I noticed in the smoking that Meg Ryan did in 1990s "Joe vs the Volcano." There were basically just two scenes - and Meg has definitely had stronger smoking performances. But this one gets me, her mannerisms totally push my buttons.

First, she looks very attractive without looking trashy, and she's got the well made up lips that I love. But really it is the way that she holds her cigarette - both very casual and yet deliberate. The consistent nature of her style makes it obvious that she is an IRL smoker too. Just the way that when she talks, she moves it around as a toolAarkeybabble : Meg Ryan looking hot while smoking Virginia Slims in Joe vs the Volcano for communicating. I do have to over look that her drags and her exhale are very shallow, almost done in a way to pretend like she doesn't actually smoke, or perhaps that just had to go with her uber debutante character's style. All in all, her casual manner with the cigarette gets my heart pounding.

Plus... and here's the fetish eye thing. To my trained perverted fetishists eye, I can see that her cigarette in the first scene is either a Virginia Slims or a Benson & Hedges. It's slimmer than the cigarette in the second scene, which I suspect is a Marlboro light 100. I can on occasion let my imagination run, but that's a fetishists eye for ya. Take a close look and tell me I'm crazy if you want. And though I used to have a thing for Virgina Slims, especially the 120s - I'm not as specific now. It depends on the woman's personal smoking style and the size of her hands. And along similar lines, I should mention that I do not like the look of Capri cigarettes. I think that they look awkward, even childish. I know some smoking fetishists love them - I'm just not one of those fetishists. And don't go thinking Capri fetishists are weird, there's a sub-fetish for most cigarette brands out there.
Aarkeybabble : Take a close look at the cigarettes - are they wider in the bottom series?I suspect that the way fetishists want to see something can sometimes allow them to let their imagination over rule what is right before their eyes. Time and time again someone will post a fake picture of a celebrity smoking. Occasionally they're tough to identify as a photoshop job, but that's usually when they're small and of poor quality. Occasionally a fake is so good, we're only certain when the original image(s) and then we all say "I told ya so!"

And invariably sometime in the not too distant future, actual pictures of that woman smoking shows up. And the "I told ya so's" start again. But that's not unique to the smoking fetishists. The corset folks *cough* me *cough* sometimes put up photoshops too - but I always admit that it's a fake. Anyway, that's the fetishist's eye for ya. And if you ever want to see it yourself, just find some pictures of a celeb wearing those tight black leggings that are the rage now. Post them on a latex fetishist forum and ask folks if they like them. Or if you really want to rile folks, say that they're latex. Because fetishists know their stuff. :)

And for those of you who are like me, if you want more of Meg in Joe vs. the Volcano, there are about 300 images scenes in these two zip files. Sizes: 9.55 MB & 7.27 MB

Corsetry Aesthetics

I got carried away and went on a bit of a rant on the "dom boss" forum earlier today - sorry about that Ms. Miranda!

Aarkeybabble : Cathie Jung - tight-laced in her corset down to just 15 inchesNow before I get all rolling along, just to be clear - this is all just my opinion. There isn't any right or wrong about it, it's just how I feel about it. And while I do feel a little ratty about this, like I'm making fun of George Washington's teeth or something, I feel compelled to give my opinion - after all it is my blog. Now, in case you didn't know already, I'm a corset fetishist who knows a thing or two about what it's like to waist train. And I'm also a bit of a corset snob. I like what I like, and some corset styles are ones that I simply do not like - for instance I prefer the slowly sloping wasp shape, and I don't like the hourglass, nor a pipe-stem - it's really that simple. The fact that it is much easier to lace down to a lower number "smallest point" on your waist with an hourglass style so it a favorite among the body mod extremists.

And with what I'm going to say, if the Jungs take offense to this, (or any one else for that matter) - I deeply apologize for it - it is not my intention. I wish to make a comment on the shape and not the individual. From everything I have ever read or heard the Jungs are both very upstanding and lovely people. And I've never heard anything about Lilly, but she's probably very nice and lovely too.

Now, normally I keep rather hush about it, because in some ways I feel that criticizing someone else, especially for their looks, is simply rude. In some ways, saying "I don't like your figure" is much like saying "your momma dresses you funny." However, I'm going to make an exception, and in part I'm going to do it because Cathie Jung is a grown up woman. She and her husband have a strong enough sense of self to be very public figures regarding Cathie's corset habits, and she is the Guiness World Record holder.
Aarkeybabble : Corseted waists of all sizes can be lovelyWhile I respect the discipline and dedication that what has been achieved requires, as I am someone who is more interested in the aesthetics I personally find Cathie's look to be entirely unattractive. It might be as simple as the ratio of her figure. Research has shown that men (including those isolated in rain forests) prefer women with a body type that gives about a .7 waist to hip ratio. Many of the biggest sex symbols in history have that ratio - Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, the Venus de Milo and even Kate Moss. The overall size doesn't seem to matter as much as the balance of the ratio. The theory was that the ratio implies both health and fertility.

What kinda irks me more than anything is that people see Cathie and think that's what corset wearing is all about. And it's not. And because it is so extreme, it discourages corsetry from becoming something that is more mainstream and better understood. One side item that I think adds to the issue, her make up is often so extreme. And I think that further lends itself to the perception of her as absurd, awkward or even comic, rather than tasteful or attractive.

Of course if she weren't so tightly laced, she wouldn't be the world record holder, and maybe she wouldn't be such a focus of the media as a representative of the corset community. Ultimately though, the key is that their goals for corsetting are just different from mine. I believe there are two primary groups that corset fetishists fall into. One group are focused on the body modification aspect, and the other group, the aesthetics. Obviously, the Jungs are very much focused on the body modification group. There are also sub groups, such as those who see it as a bondage item, or focus on the physical sensations - particularly from sudden & extreme lacing.
Aarkeybabble : But just wearing a corset does not guarantee anythingAnyways, that's just my two cents on it. Here's some more:
Corsets can be Guuuuud! & Corsets can be Baaaaad!

Aarkeybabble : Lilli Xene - from busty to balloonyFYI - corsets are far from the only thing that I find myself getting finicky about. While working on this entry I was reminded of a pornographic music styled video I found years ago. It features porn star Lilli Xene in a very tight black leather corset, and some other traditionally fetish and dommy clothes. In the scene she face sits the man, and rides his face so hard that the busk of her corset slams into his nose. I've actually been there and done that, and I suspect you could break someone's nose that way. I definitely got a lump when it happened to me... anyway, while searching for the video I stumbled on assorted pictures of Lilli, and it's clear that she went from being a busty starlet earlier Aarkeybabble : Lilli Xene - using her corset as a weapon in her career to... well... I don't really know what to say. Obviously someone out there thinks that breasts that are twice the size of a human head are attractive. But I just don't get it, I do not get it at all. It looks just silly. Might as well stick two big horns out of your head - simply, it doesn't look human anymore.

Any way, here's the video - it's kinda cute, and kinda hot. It's a pretty crappy video quality and it's a real media file, but for the mid-90s quality it isn't that bad. Lilli-Xene-corset.ram - 4.37 MB

Oh and one other thing, Cathie has not had any ribs removed. Cathie had an x-ray done while wearing her corset (and another without it) to show what happens to her body - though the images have been moved into a pay web site. The idea of women having rib removal surgery back in the Victorian times to get into a small corset is just absurd. How deadly was any kind of surgery, and to do it out of vanity? Please. Get a clue. No one that I have ever heard of has done it, though I'm sure if you go on the body mod forums and look you'll find someone, who also has a split tongue, 54FFF boobies and horns in their head. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Don't Hate Her Because She's Beautiful

Aarkeybabble : Jennifer Connelly - smoking hotnessThanks to O.K. for the inspirational reminder.

Aarkeybabble : Jennifer Connelly - smoking hotnessHow perfect is that lipstick? Tooooo perfect. I love and hate lipstick that perfect. It gets me so bothered I want to kiss her, but I don't want to ruin the look... gah! What delicious torment.

Movies you don't know about - Part III

In Search of a Midnight Kiss - starring Sara Simmonds. The plot... well... "a twenty-nine-year old guy who has just had the worst year of his life, is new to Los Angeles, has no date for new years... takes out a Craig's list ad, and Vivian, a strong-willed woman hell bent on being with the right guy at the stroke of midnight responds..."
Aarkeybabble : Sara Simmonds plays a chain smoking femfatale very very convincinglyYou can download a video of her scenes - or watch it at YouTube. Talk about a woman who has is playing mind games and totally taking charge, wow. She just sits there, usually behind her sunglasses and mentally slaps this guy around. She also eats while smoking, which is one of those things that creeps me out and turns me on at the same time. Hey, don't judge... it's not like I've got a Hello Kitty fetish!
Aarkeybabble : Beautiful women smoking in schoolgirl outfits make my palms sweat.
The other movie is schedule to come out in 2010: Elektra Luxx. I don't know much about it, aside from that it's the story of a porn star of the same name. It stars Carla Gugino and the cast also includes Emmanuelle Chriqui, Alicia Silverstone. The shot that brought my attention to the movie is this one of actress Adrianne Palicki dressed as a school girl and smoking, which is just one of my absolutely hottest buttons. Right up there with a woman in a tight corset smoking, and a woman in a catsuit smoking and a woman smoking, I'm not picky. If you want to learn more about it, the best link I found is here.

And last but not least, and something that's more along the emotional type of kink. Perhaps the most awkwardly uncomfortable movie I have ever seen - Todd Solondz's Happiness. It is not really kinky, but just generally emotionally perverse, you'll finish it and be happy that your family was only as dysfunctional as it was :)

The final scene still gives me the willies.

Ms. Stormy Rose

Aarkeybabble : Mistress Stormy Rose - Ft. Lauderdale, FLAnnouncing the latest Aarkey® designed web site: Mistress Stormy Rose!

Mistress Stormy is a good friend whom I've gotten to know well over the last few years. She's just recently decided to open her Ft. Lauderdale, FL dungeon for professional sessions. She's been involved in the local lifestyle scene for several years and definitely knows her stuff. Plus, she she can lace a corset down to 20" - yum!

If you see anything on her site that doesn't work correctly, please e-mail me and let me know.

You, yes you! Stand still laddie!

Aarkeybabble : Those big mean school girl bullies! How I miss them.It's interesting how things roll together sometimes. And this post has nothing really to do with "The Wall" by Pink Floyd, aside from my recollection being around that age. I had a dream last night, that jogged a memory.

It reminded me of when I was young, and feeling awkward and alone in the world - though I know we all feel that a bit in our teens. Sure, some seem to slide around it or don't get quite as affected. Maybe they don't get lots of pimples, or they aren't a kinkster, or they mature at the "right" time. I just donno. Personally, I didn't grow until I was a Jr. in high school. I was the shortest kid in a class of 780, and that was a bit weird. Yes, I was also shorter than all those freshly minted young women, who were no longer really "girls" - while I was still a "boy" in every sense except for my imagination.

Anyway, I was reminded of those feelings. When most things that I wanted, seemed so wrong. When I was ashamed for my interests. When I was deathly afraid anyone would find out. And yet, I can remember one particular moment in time, when I was particularly unselfconscious about it. It was the very first piece of any kind of "art" I ever bought. It was a summer in 1984. I was at Great Adventure with my family and they were all off doing their thing, and I wandered into a store and ended up buying a poster. Now I remember most kids my age - 14, had posters of stuff like sports teams, or cars, or a band... or if they got a woman it was the classic Farrah poster, which evidently is the all time best selling poster, having that on your wall as a teenage boy, well it was almost like some kind of law.

And yet, I went and got this. (I wish I could find a better picture.)

Aarkeybabble : Sybil smoking hotNow, I don't recall if I had any idea who Ms. Danning was. I've tried to research a bit as to what got me. I'm usually not into blondes or light eyes, though she's got a wonderful figure, and she's using my so very adored HoH pose... her outfit is definitely walking on that trashy/kinky line. But why that poster? I wondered if I'd seen her smoking, but it isn't that. Although it does turn out that Ms. Danning is an outspoken pro-smoking activist. She was a big b-movie star in the 80s, but I still don't have any memory of her before that poster.

Either way, I bought it. I don't recall anyone in my family saying anything in particular about it, though I do recall a general awkwardness about my buying the poster. I guess it was a bit like the leg lamp from Christmas story. I don't recall for sure if I was allowed to put it up on my bedroom wall, my mother can be very "proper" and English sometimes (my grandfather came to the US after WW2) - but mom's a genuine New Yawkah (the accent isn't that bad). Either way, I'm drawing a blank about it on my wall. And that implies to me that I was forbidden from putting it on the wall, otherwise I think I would have a bit of mental photographic film that allowed me to close my eyes and see it.

So, I'm not 100% sure what made that pop out as my first ever poster purchase. Sybil's was every bit of a beautiful woman, and perhaps a bit kinky - but my oldest and biggest button, smoking, wasn't even touched on by her (the most well known smoking scene she did wasn't until 86) - heck, I have no recollection of her at all til that poster.

Aarkeybabble : The only hot SS, is a smoking hot dommy werewolf SSEither way, she hasn't lost it. Rob Zombie used her as the lead for his faux trailer in the GrindHouse movie - Werewolf Women of the SS. Curiously, it seems that either smoking cigars or a cigarette with a holder seem to be a part of the SS werewolf costume for women.

It's interesting compared to today's world. The aftermath of the sexual revolution. The internet. Women embracing their sexuality, and even taking charge (perhaps only on stage, and in pretend, since real domination is still judged) but today there are fetishes everywhere. Women are far more often allowed to be powerful today. Yah, there are still limitations - Summer Glau in Terminator has to be a futuristic robot, but wow she's sexah!

One thing for sure, pretty much anything is "ok" as a fetish today. Even if it's a bit outside the norm, like this link that O.K. sent me this morning. I guess there was a need for a HeadsetHotties.com. When you get down to it, is it any weirder than other ones out there? Heck, there are so many fetishes that "GwG" can mean either GirlsWithGuns.org or GirlsWithGlasses.com. And I can kinda understand the guns and glasses - or guns and glasses and cigarettes!!! But headsets? I donno, I just don't quite get that one. Call me a prude. :P

Baby, Would you eat that there snack cracker, In your special outfit for me, please? Little Debby, Little Debby... I'm coming on home!

It's cold!

And when it's cold, even here in Florida - it instantly becomes boot season. And boots, are very hot.
Aarkeybabble : One plus about the cold weather - boots are very hotIf you own a pair, I think it's the right time to put em on. I've been wearing mine ;)

Daily Distraction #4 - Black and ummm... huh?

Just a little reminder that things are not always as they appear.

Harmiest

Aarkeybabble : Corporal Punishment - for... what... purpose?"Harmiest" was the word verification that I had to type in response to "Her Majesty's Plaything" (aka. HMP) blog entry that he put up on Friday about - "The Purpose Of Corporal Punishment"

This is such an enormously deep subject to me that I have danced around it on my blog, but never felt like I could fairly or fully address all my feelings about it within the normal scope of a blog entry. But that doesn't mean that I can't address some of my thoughts and feelings about it. I've written starts to blog entries with titles like: "Is it about Kink or Obedience?" and Is your scene really real?" The trick is finding a reasonable part to respond to.

There are so many facets to some things in the scene, that I always felt like I was trying to climb Mt. Everest in 5" heels whenever I started really working on those entries, and my inner editor kaboshed them. However, I *have* to respond to HMP's entry. Because I do believe that the expression "Corporal Punishment" can serve many purposes and meanings. Most often when it is used today in the scene, it isn't being used literally.

Aarkeybabble : Forced into a locking corset, consensually and probably loving it... kindaAnd it's not a unique term in that regard. When we step out of the fantasy and into the very literal reality, the definition of things in much of the D/s scene lose or at least alter their meanings. Someone would not actually want a real punishment, and yet, that's how we say it. Along the same lines, the whole concept of being "forced" to do this or that, in a totally consensual world is impossible. And yet, we all read or hear about people seeking it, even asking for it, all the time. No I'm not trying to judge anyone's scene. And I know what it's like to enjoy something for the fact that you aren't enjoying it. The contextual suffering brings pleasure to the sufferer because of the joy it brings to the one who inflicts the suffering. Gah, that reads poorly, but you get my drift, right?

Aarkeybabble : locking 5 inch heels are tough to get into without helpJust this past week someone brought up the subject of "what really is S&M about to you" on a forum. Well, S&M means (at least originally) Sadism & Masochism. At my nature, I have always been a literalist. So the meaning of it is pretty simple. S&M is where one (or more) gets pleasure from inflicting pain, on one (or more) who enjoy receiving pain. But we have grown and added terms like BD/SM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism & Masochism) or D/s (Domination & submission) - and today, S&M usually means all of the above. It can mean anything about an alternative lifestyle where one person is, or acts, dominant and the other is, or acts, submissive. The original meaning is rapidly disappearing. Today we see "SSC" and more and more often now, "RACK" but the term "BD/SM" in general seems to be going the way of the dodo entirely. I suspect that someday when I use it I'll get outted as someone born waaaaay back when.

So when someone I respect like HMP poses that question, which has run around in my head for a long while (all those half done blog idea entries about it, mostly with the focus on chastity and what is the distinction between "real" or "sincere" and play) well... I hear ya bro, I hear ya. But I disagree with at least a part of it. Probably only because I'm so literal. Now, hear me out... the physical sensations of being hit with a paddle, or a cane, the endorphin release from the impact, well... that's not real punishment. It *is* play.

Aarkeybabble : Some scene things are pretty tricky to work outAnd there is nothing wrong at all with corporal play. I'm a huge fan of it. I'd done it dozens of times. With or without incorporating some type of role-play as to why it's going on. Either as a form of play-punishment or just as a form of getting into a more submissive mindset. Saturday I went to a local dungeon and got a significant caning. My fiancée sent me there, locked in my belt, with wrote a note to the Mistress that she was really hoping that I would be well marked when she returned home from work. I was. Definitely. Mistress Brittany knows how to swing a cane. And liked pinching and pulling on my little nipples... And then when my fiancée arrived at home, I was already tightly corsetted, locked in 5" heels, plugged, sore and absolutely malleable for her. After adding nipple clamps and savaging me with a feeldoe, only then was I finally released from the belt. Today, I'm sore everywhere. Even my calves hurt from wearing heels for so much of the day yesterday. And yet, today my spirit absolutely purrs. And yes, I might just be the luckiest man alive ;)
Aarkeybabble : If the fantasy is strong enough the reality can disappear
Was any part of this an actual, real punishment? No. Not for a second. Do we role-play it that way? A bit, sometimes more than others. Had she given me a ruined orgasm after all that would it have made the whole experience punishment? I can report that I just do not know. But much the way I do not know personally how a kidney stone feels when you pass one - I can however give an educated guess.

But I do know that when I went to the dungeon, the correct term for what I was seeking wasn't a "fun caning" or some "sensation play with marks" - it was a "corporal punishment scene."

And I think that's just where the terms are defined today. But that definitely doesn't mean that some more intense and real D/s players can and do incorporate very real punishment into their play. I'm 100% certain that exists. Do I really want that kind of play in my life? Not quite, yet at least ;)

Daily Distraction #3 (weekend double score)

I'm still working on a long blog entry, but if I'm going to get something online today I have to do it now. So...

Kate Hudson + leather = Yum

Aarkeybabble : Kate Hudson in a leather skirt is yummyI'd always thought of Kate as cute. But dressed this and smoking, she's way more dangerous than 'cute' and that's not a bad thing.

Aarkeybabble : Kate Hudson in a leather trench, high heels and smoking is yummierAnd in case you think that women wearing leather and smoking is hot, you aren't alone. Obviously I'm far from the only crossover fetishist.

Aarkeybabble : smoking-leathergirls.com Vanessa is also way yummyAnd to think back to the mid 80s, when I sincerely thought I was the only person on Earth was fascinated by the sight of a woman smoking. Now, even the totally vanilla world talks about it (see #24). And Freud might be right for a some of us, but he's flat wrong about me.

Corazón marchito

Aarkeybabble : Corazón marchito - one of the sexiest smoking films of all timePresenting Ana Serradilla & Daniela Schmidt in Corazón marchito, one of the sexiest smoking films of all time. Now, before I get all frothy at the mouth and fetishy, let me tell you something... I really enjoyed this movie. I'm sure having my fetish buttons slammed down didn't hurt, but this was a very cute movie. A tale we've all seen before, but I donno, it just resonated with me. There were many subtle little things, particularly the very last moment which is when the final resolution (or not actually) of the film happens was so fast that I almost missed it. Anyway, though it's a little dramatic romance film without any killing or madness, I was reminded of some of the subtle aspects from the Coen brothers' films. Which I personally love. Anyway, that's enough grown up serious talk, lets get down to fetishes.

In Corazón, Ana is the female lead, and has 3 long scenes. Right from the start you can see her smoking with confidence. Though in the second scene it is filmed in an almost teasing, borderline frustrating way - but hey... sometimes a bit of teasing isn't all bad ;)

Daniela appears briefly in the movie, but wow... what a scene. That little animated gif above shows what set off my fetish radar moving this movie from top 20 to top 10... and I don't even like the smoke in face thing particularly. But I love how naturally it is brought into the film. He doesn't flinch, he doesn't cough, she has a subtle little smile and that's that... she's taking him home, he's not taking her.

Oh and she does take him home if you get my drift. Actually that was one one of the things that really killed me. The scene after the cigarette at the bar is a split love scene where it flips back and forth between both women - and both women are the assertive leaders in their lovemaking. And both even get a quick moment of foot kissing - and it's not some huge big deal in the movie.

Aarkeybabble : Corazón marchito - one of the sexiest smoking films of all timeThis definitely makes my top 10 all time smoking movie list. And it's there for subtle reasons. Now, don't get me wrong - both women are gorgeous. Both women smoke with a really casual style and they look like they know and appreciate the appeal of smoking. But the thing that really got me was how totally natural smoking is an extension of who they are. The smoking is filmed very matter of factly, and they smoke regularly, yet it isn't ruined by being hyper exaggerated. Yah, I'm a fetish snob *shrug*

I would say that 90% of the time I'd rather watch a Hollywood movie with smoking in it than a fetish film. Because it looks normal. It's not this hyper exaggerated chain smoking like she's going to be electrocuted in 2 minutes and has to get it down, or this wearing a pound of lipstick so that the smears are all over her teeth and her hands... and maybe if we're lucky, the cigarette butt. But this movie, top notch. Doubt me? Well, see for yourself.

Anyway, I hope for more mainstream portrayals where it's all just so casual, subtle, sexy and perhaps most importantly of all... natural, for a woman to assert herself and takes charge. ;)

I'm hoping that Sexo, amor y otras perversiones will show up on Netflix soon. Supposedly it is Ana's best smoking performance, and just the title alone sounds damned hot! It's out there, so hopefully they'll pick it up soon. :)

A real chastity focus of late

Last week I spent five full days in lockup, and the last few days my fiancee has been repeatedly saying that I look really cuteAarkeybabble : *dreamy sigh* - she asked me what was different, and I told her that maybe five days in lockup does a boy good, so she then ordered me back into the belt. I did my best to role play a disappointed and admonished sub - though she did point out my give away smile.

*dreamy sigh*

It was only going to be 3 days last week, but I actually asked for more time in the belt. She was very busy with work, and just really spent. But she was feeling merciful, and offered to let me out for a release (and then she restrained a yawn...) and I told her that I'd rather wait. She was stunned. Normally after 2 or 3 days I'm frothing to get out of it - but it was more comfortable this time for several reasons. First, (Vanilla Edge Tom was definitely right about A&D cream, it works very well as a lube and really helps with the dryness (though it does smell a bit strong.) Things were also more comfortable because I'd finally gone back to my CB-3000. It turns out that the 1/8" smaller diameter of the 6000 is actually too much for me to be comfortable in for more than a day, as it starts to restrict my urine flow. I do love the way that the 6000's oblong parts (rather than round) prevent the jiggle and the locking system is much sturdier and has no give (less hair pinches) but it's just too small. With the design the side slots are awful, filling them helped, but that also further restricted any room in the cage. So, it is back to the trusty 3000, though I still know there has got to be a better way out there. One that isn't made of metal and doesn't weigh (or cost) a ton.

Aarkeybabble : I love when a woman finds her placeAnyway, the day after she'd offered to allow me a release I explained to her that it is like being an 8 year old who can go to the circus today, but there aren't any elephants or clowns, and you won't be allowed any cotton candy because it's a school night. Yah, sure... it is *THE CIRCUS* but it's not all that the circus can be, ya know? So I was up for waiting - when everything was said and done, I felt like I'd been run over by a very sexy truck.

It never ceases to amaze me how much crap I can get done and how much more creative I am when I'm locked up. And now, I'm back locked up, so I guess it's good that I've got work to get done. Chastity sure does change your view of the world. Some guy posts pictures of Lindsay Lohan in a very shiny 80s style spandex workout outfit - and where is my focus? *This* and well... *dreamy sigh*

Oh and btw, I've been mis-spelling as Lindsey all along, which might explain why she doesn't returned my calls anymore... woops...

And in other news, what I was originally going to talk about: our super undercover special reporter in the field - "O.K." (he wanted a fancy title) recently informed me of a new chastity related site. I don't know if it's a real item or a joke, but it's definitely worth passing along. Just click their banner to find out more... and maybe listing the banner can get me a free one - not that I'm 100% sure that I actually want one... but then again I'm not sure I ever want to be denied orgasm by having my prostate milked, but I still think about it :)

Legend of the Seeker

Aarkeybabble : Jessica Marais as the brutal leather clad dominatrix - Mistress DennaEarlier today, a new fellow posted a link to this hulu video on the Max Fisch board. (For those of you non-Yanks, use this one.) The video is from episode 8 of season 1 of a TV series called Legend of the Seeker. It's one of those Dungeon & Dragons spin-off shows, and it's based on the "Sword of Truth" book series by Terry Goodkind. And it's very clear that Terry is a perv who's got a thing for beautiful leather clad Dominatrixes, and frankly, so do I.

Wow. This has to be the closest thing I have ever seen to full fledged Fem Dom in a mainstream film who wasn't taken as a demonstration of all kinksters being mentally unwell, or just puerile comedy.

Aarkeybabble : Jessica Marais as Mistress Denna in Legend of the SeekerIn this particular episode, Australian actress Jessica Marais plays the most powerful "Mord-Sith" (which is Mr. Goodwind's D&D way of saying Dominatrix) who known as a "Mistress Denna." In addition to wearing a leather catsuit, gloves, boots, corset and having her waist length blond hair braided into long single tail down her back - she has a raspy smokers type of voice. And the scenes in this episode are just stupid hot and totally unabashed S&M style - the outfits, dialog, setting... do not miss this.

So, big props to "swenmark" for posting about it. And in case you are stuck at work and can't get caught watching videos this hot (and probably touching yourself you naughty bugger!) - here are some more pics for ya:

Daily Distraction #2 - Classic Cindy

Well, I'm cutting in at the buzzer to give an update for today. No time for too much to say, but here's a gem. The only picture (IMO of course) of Cindy Crawford with a cigarette that has ever even touched on the kind of beauty she is. There are a handful of pictures of her smoking out there, but none other than this one do the supermodel known as "The Bod" any justice.

The glare in her eye, the black leather gloves, the heavy eye liner, the subtle waves of her hair, the lips, the oh so perfectly lipsticked lips... and to think she was a regular smoker - but self conscious enough about it that she didn't want to promote it by having her picture taken while smoking very often.

I'm glad that in this case she made an exception.

Keep an eye out

Aarkeybabble : Eliza Dushku looks pretty damned good in those leather pants and high heeled bootsComing soon to Fox - "Dollhouse", starring Eliza Dushku. It is scheduled to start up in Feb, and airs on Mondays, from 8-9 EST. They've got a blog up: dollverse and it's produced by Joss Wheadon (who did Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show, as well as Firefly/Serenity) - so you can be sure it'll fun with lots of sharp dialog.

The storyline is that the Dollhouse is a place where DNA-altered humans known as Dolls are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. You can be sure some of the best dolls will be super hot and kick ass women like Eliza.
Aarkeybabble : Eliza Dushku looks to be playing a bad ass again in the upcoming Dollhouse showFor those of you who aren't convinced, some info & pictures of Eliza in her other roles. Eliza played the rival vampire slayer in Buffy, known as "Faith" And while SMG (aka. Sarah Michelle Gellar) was a fluffy and blond and "I'm really a nice girl" Buffy, Faith was an in your face, leather wearing, cigarette smoking, "Let me at em" kind of vampire killer.Aarkeybabble : Eliza Dushku is the hottest vampire hunter I know The bottom line: Faith > Buffy.

She also played the "Devil may care" leader of the female gang in "Jay & Silent Bob". She was the cheerleader with a bad attitude in "Bring it On". Heck, I'm starting to wonder if she's really acting at all, or if she's just really like that pic 2 & pic 3

In other news, there's another upcoming item to watch for is "Powder Blue" which is due out later this year and stars Jessica Biel.

Something tells me I'm going to like her role, which is definitely one of those "I don't want to play the preacher's daughter anymore" kind of roles. Collage 1 - Collage 2 - Collage 3

S.N.A.F.U.

Aarkeybabble : The military is not all badGrowing up the son of a Naval officer, I heard this term a lot. I never realized that it wasn't a common expression, but it turns out that many folks don't know it. It's the same kind of military acronym, similar to FUBAR. Anyway, means of SNAFU: Situation Normal, All Fucked Up. And just in case you never knew for sure, the meaning of FUBAR: Fucked up beyond all recognition/repair.

Why is that important to write about? Well, I'll tell ya if you give me a minute. Sheesh! The thing is that I'm moving my web domain to a new server, and that might make some of the images disappear temporarily, since I host many of the thumbnails on my own server.

So, if you find anything that's wonky over the next few days don't sweat it, I should be able to get it all squared away soon. However, if things stay wonky for more than a few days, please e-mail me Aarkeybabble : Everything will be back to normal soonand let me know. If you can, let me know the date of the original blog entry (listed at the bottom of each entry) - that should be enough for me to track down the issue.

Oh and if you find the outages unacceptable, ask for a full refund. :P

PS. Congrats to the Gators on winning the championship. Heck, when I was a student there we were happy to go 7-5 and watch Emmitt run.

Thoughts to you...

I spoke with an old friend last night (who sometimes leaves blog comments as "Mistress Kriss") and found out that she was in a serious car accident just before the holidays. Her car is totaled, her arm broken and her back is really hurting. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, and remember that each day we have is a gift, that's why they call it the present.

This is for you Ms. Kriss - Norah Jones, Butterflies:

Stats Say: Smoking is Sexy - '09 edition

Ok, I've said it before, I'm saying it again - the stats speak for themselves. Women who smoke are just plain sexy. For a smoking fetishist like myself it's an automatic bonus. And whether they know it or not, I think society sees it that way too, at least the majority do. In D&D geek terms, a cigarette is like a charisma bonus. Some brands might be a +1, but some are clearly a +3 with special modifiers *cough* anyway, before I geek out... back to the facts.

The other day someone sent me a link to the "Ask Men" top 99 women of 2008, well... 8 of 10 are smokers. And three of those are (or were) some of the heaviest smokers in all of Hollywood. Though in fairness, I have to admit that the rumor is that Kate Beckinsale recently quit smoking, so has Jessica Alba.

Aarkeybabble : Katherine Heigl was quite possibly the most photographed smoker of 2008Anyway, here is the top 10 by Ask Men:
Katherine Heigl - more info - pics
Alessandra Ambrosio - more info - pics
Kate Beckinsale - more info - pics
Eva Mendes - more info - pics
Jessica Alba - more info - pics
Scarlett Johansson - more info - pics
Jessica Biel - more info - pics
Rihanna
Marisa Miller
Adriana Lima - more info - pics

Either way, I figured I'd just pass along the facts. Ya know... in some kind of totally impartial and unbiased way ;)

Daily Distraction #1 - Mädchen Musings

To kick things off, one of my all time favorite subtle photos. This particular shot of Ms. Mädchen Amick (madchenamick.net) has inspired my imagination many times. The context of it is just spectacular. For starters she's a stunning woman. The dress, though definitely tight on her lovely figure, is not too risque that it couldn't be worn out to just about anywhere. Her hair is absolutely wild, her grin is huge and mischievous and she's leaning over her man who's lying on the bed as if she's about to say...

Aarkeybabble : Ms. Mädchen Amick the first official Daily Distraction at AarkeybabbleWell? What does she say to you?
